I've learned about type history in classes before, but not like Mauro Zennaro tells it. The first image he showed us was a striking juxtaposition: a plaque engraved with elegant Roman capitals—made for the Pope in the 15th century—sprayed over in 1970s red feminist graffiti reading, "Aborto Libero," or "Free Abortion." That gave us some indication of the astounding breadth of type history we'd be in for over the next few hours, and historical context that would come with it.
We started all the way back with how writing began, although Mauro said we can't be sure who was the first to write. "Writing is something magical," he said—it's too ancient and powerful, so many believed it must have been a gift from the gods. Roman capitals are the foundation for all Western writing, and were first written with a flat brush by the very first "graphic designers," and would then be traced into stone. Because of this, inscriptions were expensive and time consuming, so they had to be "sponsored"; many original inscriptions in Roman cities were used as advertising.
We think of Roman capitals as being very stately and official, but everyday writing was very different than these costly inscriptions. Commoners would often write with a nail on a slate, so they used a kind of shorthand for Latin that is essentially unreadable to us today, but allowed them to write faster with these crude tools—and it certainly looks nothing like refined Roman capitals.
From the lettering of the Roman Empire, we flew through the Middle Ages and learned how Carolingian and Blackletter scripts evolved from early rounded Christian writing, which in turn evolved from Greek letterforms. "Letters evolve like life," Mauro observed as he compared the evolution of writing to Darwinism. He gave us an incredible look at the historical and societal changes that caused writing to transform from one style to another. Despite all the evolutions in style and language across Europe, it's difficult to tell a 15th century inscription from a 20th century inscription in Rome because of the consistency of Roman capitals through the centuries.
After looking at centuries of writing, we finally arrived at the rise of typography and the printing press. Interestingly, when standardized books first arrived on the scene, space was money—so they used abbreviations much like we do today in texts or on Twitter. Mauro made other connections from ancient type to modern day, like how the Coca-Cola logo is written in Italian Baroque style script.
Post-whirlwind history lesson, we ventured out into the midday heat to do wax rubbings on a wall of classic Roman capitals, with a new appreciation of how those letters came to be. We attracted quite the crowd of observers—and even one passerby-turned-participant. Perhaps we influenced some newly minted type nerds.

Another few months go by, another thing gets broken. From all cars I've owned there has been none so troublesome as the Vectra-C, this time a swirl valve problem appeared. But first, how I came to diagnose this failure…
Some time ago I noticed that going high on revs and then setting the car in neutral gave me intake air leak fault messages. They disappeared again by their own after some minutes driving. Some time later this behavior no longer happened, but introducing new troubles: performance loss and lots of black smoke when tapping the gas. The performance loss could best be described as when you step down the gas pedal, the car would unevenly produce power, then hold back, then produce power again, then hold back again, etc…. and all this in the single event of going from 1500rpm tp 3500rpm. By opening the hood my eyes more or less by accident fell on the swirl valves control bar just laying loose, uncoupled from the swirl valves. Aha!
As I mentioned before, the intake manifold comes with swirl valves which allows to have more swirl in the intake air whenever there is a low amount of air entering the engine. Adding more swirl adds to improve burning the fuel and to lower the emissions. Whenever the engine load goes upwards there is however a higher need of air and then you want as much air inside the engine as needed. In this case there is no longer a need to add more swirl. Now take a look at how this effect is accomplished inside the Vectra-C intake manifold:
On the far right side intake air enters the intake manifold. This air is a combination of compressed air coming from the turbo and exhaust gas re-entering the engine through the EGR system. Both streams of air get mixed inside the intake manifold and is next distributed to each engine cylinder. On the picture above you may notice 8 instead of 4 exhaust holes, and this because we have 2 exhaust holes per cylinder. One of them describes a direct path to the engine cylinder, the other one a more indirect path which makes sure a certain amount of swirl is added to the intake air. The swirl valves are placed inside the more direct pathway and will either block air (when more swirled is needed at low engine load) or allow air to travel through (when a high airflow is needed at high engine load). Also seen in the picture is how each valve is connected to each other by a control bar, so moving only one valve will move all 4. Valve 3 starting from left (when you stand in front of the car facing the engine) is the one which actually is controlled by an actuator. The actuator on its turn is controlled by the ECU. A lot of good information can also be found here
As I said earlier, the control bar on my car had come loose, the ball joints had worn out. There was also a lot of carbon around some of the valve ball joints indicating that some carbon from the EGR system has also build up against the swirl valves.
I checked the functioning of each valve by moving the ball joints with a screwdriver and there seem to be no issue with them. However, because I'm already at 230k+ km I wanted to have a look inside the manifold to check its state. Is there not too much carbon build up against the valves causing the valves to malfunction and trowing errors codes like the one I saw earlier? So I began working my way down to the point where I could eventually remove the intake manifold. However…! There is so much stuff placed around the intake manifold that you have to remove first: oil seperator, EGR valve, common rail, coolant pipes (yes you have to drain the engine coolant), vacuum lines, air hoses, vacuum box, fuel pump, … And is far as I could see, you also have to remove the toothed belt. That's not really a trivial task if you ask me. Because I didn't want to do anything wrong with removing the toothed belt I aborted the plan of removing the intake manifold. The toothed belt needs a replacement anyway in some months from now and so there is still a chance to replace the intake manifold. For now I replaced everything and just glued the ball joints to the control bar and so far it seem to function as expected:
Fingers crossed for how long it holds… Notice (I found it afterwards) that there is also a good description from Opel/Vauxhall TIS that leads you through the entire process of replacing the intake manifold: here.

L. S. Lee installs permanent and temporary construction impact attenuators used to shield hazardous objects found on highways or in work zones. Attenuators may be installed on the ends of guardrail, at gore areas, toll booths, concrete barrier ends, bridge piers, or other potentially hazardous areas.
Crash cushions are generally proprietary systems that have been crash tested to meet Federal and State certification criteria. They can vary in shape, size, and material due to various site conditions, roadway speeds, or specific purpose.
Many people believe that all impact attenuators are filled with sand or water like in the movies, but many are filled with recycled material compressed in replaceable cartridges. Some attenuators can withstand multiple hits, whereas others can only absorb one impact before disposition.
We are able to acquire all types of attenuators that your job may require.

The Plan Romney seems to have forgotten—maybe he should check his own website occasionally.
Commentary: All the hype surrounding last nights debate suggests that Romney outperformed Obama. If that is the perception—then America is the loser in the debate. It doesn't seem to matter that what Romney spewed almost non stop was one lie after the other.
If lies—thrump truth—then we have sunk to a new low for taking the measure of a man's character and his fitness to hold the Office of President.
If telling America the truth makes Obama the loser then this nation is irretrievably lost.
Romney's opening was that he didn't have a tax plan that would reduce taxes across the board by twenty percent and that it would cost five trillion dollars over ten years. His own website talks about that exact plan. Tax | Mitt Romney for President
That is only one of the multitude of lies Romney told the American people—someone calculated that Romney told 27 lies in 38 minutes. How do you counter that many lies in one and two minute rebuttals?
America deserves more than a Presidential candidate who's entire campaign is built on brazen mendacity—and bait and switch electioneering—that is geared to each audience he is addressing at any given time. In Boca Raton he reveals to his rich donors—his real feelings towards half of the American electorate and refers to them with utter contempt as moochers and victims. At the debate he relates stories of that same 47% with a new found fake compassion and feigned empathy. His only ambition is to become President in order to tear down the social network he hates and reward his fat cat capitalist cronies—and he will say anything towards that end.
The only thing Romney should have won last night was our contempt, in the same measure with which he holds at least 47% of the American people.

What influences sustainment and nonsustainment of facilitation activities in implementation? Analysis of organizational factors in hospitals implementing TeamSTEPPS.
Baloh J, Zhu X, Ward MM. Med Care Res Rev. 2019 May 16; [Epub ahead of print].
Organizational factors often play a major role in determining whether the implementation and sustainment of safety improvement initiatives are successful. Researchers studied the implementation of TeamSTEPPS across 10 rural hospitals. They found that five of the hospitals sustained facilitation activities crucial for implementation and cite senior management support, middle management support, and team continuity as organizational factors necessary for sustainment.

Good Catch in the Operating Room
- Web M&M
John Day and John T. Paige, MD; May 2019
An elderly man with a complicated medical history slipped on a rug at home, fell, and injured his hip. Emergency department evaluation and imaging revealed no head injury and a left intertrochanteric hip fracture. Although he was admitted to the orthopedic surgery service with surgery to fix the fracture initially scheduled for the next day, the operation was delayed by 3 days due to several emergent trauma cases and lack of surgeon availability. He ultimately underwent surgery and was discharged a few days later but was readmitted several weeks later with chest pain and shortness of breath. He was found to have a pulmonary embolism; anticoagulation was initiated. The patient's rehabilitation was delayed, his recovery was prolonged, and he never returned to his baseline functional status.

Effect of a cluster randomised team training intervention on adverse perinatal and maternal outcomes: a stepped wedge study.
Romijn A, Ravelli ACJ, de Bruijne MC, et al. BJOG. 2019;126:907-914.
This cluster-randomized trial examined whether a team training intervention would improve perinatal and maternal outcomes for singleton births without congenital abnormalities, on or after 32 weeks gestation. Researchers found no significant change in incidence of adverse outcomes, suggesting that simulation-based training alone is not sufficient to optimize perinatal safety.

Impact of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Safety Program for Perinatal Care.
Kahwati LC, Sorensen AV, Teixeira-Poit S, et al. Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf. 2019;45:231–240.
Labor and delivery is an inherently high-risk care setting. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality adapted its Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program, a best practice toolkit incorporating teamwork, human factors engineering principles, and simulation training, for labor and delivery. In this pre–post evaluation study, staff reported improved safety culture and teamwork. Obstetric trauma and primary cesarean delivery rates declined after the intervention, but neonatal birth trauma rates increased. The authors note that incomplete implementation and lack of sustained program participation observed in the study should be addressed in order to improve obstetric and neonatal care safety. A recent Annual Perspective emphasizes the rising rate of severe maternal morbidity and summarizes national initiatives to improve safety in maternity care.

Disney has a reputation for being the creator of the most magical movies and places that children and adults love. However, 16,339 of its employees don't think the Walt Disney Co.
is so magical. The company as agreed to provide $3.8 million in back wages to those thousands of employees due to an investigation done by the U.S. Labor Department.
The Labor Department found that Disney had been making dozens of violations against minimum wage, overtime, and record-keeping laws. The Labor Department's investigation found that Disney wasn't paying its employees for the fifteen minutes of work before and after shifts. That was coupled with the fact that uniform costs were deducted which in turn brought down the hourly rates of the employees. The hourly rates that fell were below that of the federal minimum wage.
When it came to record keeping, Disney did not maintain the records required for the number of hours that many employees had worked.
While the Labor Department won't disclose what caused them to make this investigation, it's said that the payment agreement covers 700 employees that worked at Old Key West Resort since November 2103. Fifteen thousand other Disney employees working throughout Florida at other resorts since January 2015 will receive their share of compensation as well.
Aside from giving its employees the money they deserve, Disney is prompted by the agreement to better train their managing staff. Managers will be taught about what constitutes as "compensable work time." The expected training also covers other aspects that the company lacks such as signing out keys and logging onto computers.
United Here is the union that represents Disney's hotel workers and, according to a source, has not provided any comments on the situations. However, Daniel White who works as district director for Jacksonville's Wage and Hour Division stated that "These violations are not uncommon and are found in other industries, as well."
Disney did make a statement following the investigation. A spokesperson for the company said, "The Department of Labor has identified a group of cast members who may have performed work outside of their scheduled shift, and we will be providing a one-time payment to resolve this. We are adjusting our procedures to avoid this in the future."
Disney workers can expect to see their compensation distributed by July 31.

text: Shockwaves from the blast could reportedly be felt several kilometres away [Reuters] A massive explosion at a warehouse has rocked the northern Chinese city of Tianjin, killing seven people and injuring hundreds of others, state media reported. The exact cause of Wednesday's blast in an industrial area was not immediately known, but the People's Daily newspaper reported that it was sparked by "combustible and explosive goods" stored at a warehouse. The paper said 300-400 people had been taken to hospital and that tremors from the blast could be felt 10km away. The official Xinhua news agency said the explosion happened at 11:30pm local time, when a deafening bang was heard as plumes of flame that lit up the sky could be seen from afar. #Tianjin death toll rises to 7 according to People's Daily weibo. Some are still trapped in fire due to second blast. pic.twitter.com/gDRrMp63UB — People's Daily,China (@PDChina) August 12, 2015 The area where the blast happened has many factories but also apartment buildings. According to the Tianjin Public Security Bureau, the blast happened at the Tianjin Dongjiang Port Rui Hai International Logistics Company, which handles the transport of hazardous goods. State broadcaster CCTV said firefighters had brought the ensuing fire under control, although it was still burning. It said the firefighters were combing the neighbourhood for possible injured residents. Videos posted on Weibo, a Chinese social network, showed a massive fireball shooting into the air and at least two separate explosions. The China Earthquake Networks Center reported that the first explosion had a 2.3 degree magnitude, and the second had a 2.9 degree magnitude. The magnitude of the first explosion was the equivalent of detonating three tonnes of TNT, the China Earthquake Networks Centre said, while the second was the equivalent of detonating 21 tons of the explosive. Tianjin, which lies about 140km southeast of Beijing, is one of China's biggest cities, with a population of nearly 15 million people according to 2013 figures. It is a manufacturing centre and a major port for northern China. China has a dismal industrial safety record as some owners evade regulations to save money and pay off corrupt officials to look the other way. In July, 15 people were killed and more than a dozen injured when an illegal fireworks warehouse exploded in the northern Hebei province. At least 71 were killed in an explosion at a car parts factory in Kunshan, near Shanghai, in August 2014. SOURCE: Agencies Asia Pacific China

Welcome to our web site!
"Meeting each other always presents joy, joy of growth and development. Exchange of trust and emotions help energy to flow. This is happening because all important emotions, which we cherish, grow from contacts with other human beings, they are attached to others and our relations with them.
After we meet, we look around our selves, we see the world differently and we see and feel our selves differently. The meeting of people is sometimes gentle, sometimes is heavy, but, when it happens, it drives the energy of development on both sides. There are no one-sided meetings. Meeting between people cannot be important for one and unimportant for the other side. There are no meetings without giving and receiving from both sides.
They meet: mother and a child, child and a mother, a friend and a friend, a child and an adult, an adult and a child, man and women, women and man, a human being and a human being...".

Curvy gymnast Zoey Miller and ski resort owner Flynn Weir are both so busy with their careers that they never have time for love. But on Valentine's Day they're about to find out that two lynx shifters might be just perfect for each other.
Available Now: Amazon.com Amazon.ca Amazon.co.uk
Flynn emerged alone into the brilliant sky- and snow-filled world of mountains that he loved. Hundreds of people in bright ski suits and helmets milled about the racks outside the lodge, waited in line for the gondola, and carried skis, toddlers, and coffees this way and that.
Day- and season-pass sales at White Peaks Ski Resort were way up again for the third consecutive year, and if they got the go ahead from the bank, the resort would be expanding beyond the Starfall Chutes next year. Flynn felt a little surge of adrenaline at the prospect. He loved what he, Cade and Dylan were turning this resort into. Of course, depending on what terrain they decided to open up in the expansion, he might have to give up his private hideaway on the mountain.
He wasn't sure how he felt about that. In recent years, he'd often put the needs of the resort ahead of his own, which was why business was booming. It wasn't as if he had a sweet and hot little mate to share the spot with. He'd never taken any of his many dates to his cabin, to that private little part of himself that felt like part of his soul. But the hope of spending the night in his cabin, naked, with a woman who could fulfill his needs and drive him wild with lust made him reluctant to give up his place. He just had to find the right woman—one who could make the long trek to his tucked away piece of heaven, one who was as insatiable in bed as he was.
He thought about Renate's comments about having people to do things for them. His hunger and preference for the outdoors was a key part of the reason he still guided many of the snow cat tours that were part of the White Peaks Adventure Engine spin-off of the resort. Besides, it wasn't as if he, Cade, and Dylan were totally used to being rich yet. The resort had only started to make money hand over fist in the last five years, after they'd implemented changes when they took over. Part of the reason the resort was so successful, in his opinion, was that all three of them were still working on the ground and had an intimate knowledge of the resort experience and employees. Most of their staff didn't even know they were the owners.
He seriously hoped his mate, if he ever found her, shared his love of adventure and the outdoors.
A woman caught his eye as he slipped behind the wheel of his Range Rover. She was striding—almost skipping really—along one of the many snowshoe paths that weaved in and out of the woods that surrounded the base lodge, her eyes raised to the sky, and her long ponytail swinging behind her.
There was a euphoria in the angle of her body, her voluptuous curves, and the grace of her movement, like she was a tight ball of energy just waiting to be released. His lynx senses shot to the fore, and he sniffed the air as if hoping to pick up a hint of her. His body and cock felt electrified in a way that they hadn't for many years, if ever. If he had time, and she wasn't about to disappear into the woods, he would pursue her, but as it was, because of Renate, he was already running late as usual, and today was Cade's wedding.
He couldn't be late for his best friend's wedding.
But after the wedding… after the wedding, he would find her.

Introduced in the Solaris Express 10/04 release and enhanced in the Solaris 10 3/05 release, the Solaris Service Manager provides an infrastructure that augments the traditional UNIX startup scripts, init run levels, and configuration files. This infrastructure provides the following functions:
Automatically restarts failed services in dependency order, whether the services failed as the result of administrator error, a software bug, or an uncorrectable hardware error.
Makes services objects that can be viewed, with the new svcs command, and managed, with svcadm and svccfg commands. You can also view the relationships between services and processes by using svcs -p, for both SMF services and legacy init.d scripts.
Makes it easy to back up, restore, and undo changes to services by taking automatic snapshots of service configurations.
Makes it easy to debug. You can ask questions about services and receive an explanation of why a service isn't running by using svcs -x. Also, this process is eased by individual and persistent log files for each service.
Enhances the ability of administrators to securely delegate tasks to nonroot users, including the ability to modify properties and start, stop, or restart services on the system.
Boots faster on large systems by starting services in parallel according to the dependencies of the services. The opposite process occurs during shutdown.
Enables you to customize the boot console output either to be as quiet as possible, which is the default, or to be verbose by using boot -m verbose.
Preserves compatibility with existing administrative practices wherever possible. For example, most customer and ISV-supplied rc scripts still work as usual.
Enables you to configure your system services in one of two modes, both represented as smf(5) profiles. The "generic_open.xml" profile enables all the traditional Internet services that were previously enabled by default in the Solaris OS. The "generic_limited_net.xml" profile disables a large number of services that are frequently disabled during the process of hardening a system. However, this profile is not a replacement for the Solaris Security Toolkit (JASS) tool. See the individual profiles for details.
See Chapter 9, "Managing Services (Overview)," in the System Administration Guide: Basic Administration for more information about this infrastructure. An overview of the infrastructure can be found in the smf(5) man page.

Bobby Brown released a statement to Us Weekly on Friday, March 4, hours after Bobbi Kristina Brown's cause of death — drugs and drowning — was revealed by the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office on what would have been her 23rd birthday.
"First and foremost, 23 years ago today, Bobbi Kristina was born," Brown tells Us Weekly in his statement. "Krissy will always live in my heart and soul. I love my baby girl. For news affiliates to seek and obtain my daughter's autopsy report, before anyone has been brought to justice for her death is mind blowing to me. Please pray for my family."
The singer's lawyer Christopher Brown also added a statement of his own. "Yesterday we were informed that two news affiliates were granted access to the autopsy of Bobbi Kristina Brown. While this action is unsettling, we will continue in our efforts in the civil lawsuit and the criminal investigation," Brown's attorney tells Us. "Bobby Brown has had to be strong and mourn his loved ones in a fashion that is foreign to most people. So public, so raw, with apparently no end in sight. Hopefully public indictments and prosecution will lead to private healing and closure for Bobby Brown and his family."
An Atlanta-area judge issued an order on Thursday, March 3, to unseal Bobbi Kristina's cause of death. The following morning, the Fulton County Medical Examiner revealed that she died at age 22 from "Lobar pneumonia," which was the result of "immersion of face in water complicating mixed drug intoxication."
The medical examiner's office listed the drugs that were found in Bobbi Kristina's system at the time of her drowning in January 2015. They included marijuana, alcohol, benzoylecgonine (a cocaine-related substance), benzodiazepines (medications used for sedation or to treat anxiety) and morphine. "It could not be determined from toxicology tests whether the morphine resulted from heroin use," the statement read.
Bobbi Kristina died on July 26, 2015, and was buried beside her late mother, Whitney Houston. (In eerily similar circumstances, the Grammy winner herself died in Feburary 2012 after being found unconscious in a bathtub.) Her autopsy results were sealed in September.
Meanwhile, her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, was slapped with a $10 million wrongful death lawsuit in August, which was filed by Bobbi Kristina's conservator, Bedelia Hargrove. In the court documents, Hargrove claimed that "Ms. Brown died due to a violent altercation with Gordon after which he placed her in a bathtub, unconscious, after he injected her with a toxic mixture."
Gordon's lawyer Jose Baez released a counter-statement in August. "The recent lawsuit against Nick is slanderous and meritless," Gordon's legal team told USA Today.

A Brand Company Moves to 19th in Top 40 Distributor List
CHARLOTTE, NC—August 3, 2016—ASI today announced their Top 40 Promotional Marketing Distributors for 2016. This year's list has slotted A Brand Company at 19, which is up 20 spots from last year. The annual ranking recognizes the industry's highest-performing companies based on the prior year's sales figures. A Brand Company's dramatic rise up the list was propelled by its merger with Canadian distributor, BrandAlliance, which is now the operating company's flagship.
"We knew the BrandAlliance merger was going to have positive, resounding effects on our overall brand," said Fred Parker, CEO of A Brand Company. "Being in the top 20 is a nice feather in our cap, and we're going to continue to strategically expand our portfolio to earn our reputation as an international distributor powerhouse."
This is the company's highest ranking since its inception.

Figuring Ancestry Percentages
"Figuring percentages of ancestry is ...a numerical way of describing what your bloodlines represent"
condensed from the original article
Recently I learned of a valuable tool for the Aussie breeder; bloodline percentages. Figuring percentage of ancestry is not all that hard, and I would like to help you learn how quick and easy it can be to understand. It is a numerical way of describing what your bloodlines represent. It can be a good sales tool, but most importantly, it can help guide you towards a goal in your breeding program.
A percentage can only be based on one individual ancestor at a time. Livestock producers have been using percentages for years now. The basic principle has been applied to agriculture since the monk Gregor Mendel first experimented with his peas over a hundred years ago. The percentage based on an individual measures approximately the chances of his genes appearing in the current individual. Percentages can be used to move away from degree of inbreeding as well as towards a level of line or inbreeding to fix a certain type. In breeds where the number of foundation individuals is very small, breeders may want to diversify their gene pool and thus work at lowering certain individual percentages. It is well known that genetic diversity is a strength in an individual regarding health and fitness.
Thus, when using percentages it is important to keep the individual well in mind and first consider the breeding stock itself before worrying about the appeal of the pedigree.
There are at least three ways to approach figuring percentages of ancestry. I like to work from the back, forward. Bust first, let's read a pedigree left to right. (See figure 1) (double left click on the chart & it will enlarge)
As I figure X's percentage of A, I go to the second generation , add up 50% of A's son on the top side and add 100% for A himself on the bottom side. I then divide by four because there are four individuals in the second generation. X = 37.5%.
If you want to figure out the percentage from the front going backwards (left to right), simple reverse your outlook. X = 100% so looking back, on top A is 12.5% and on the bottom, A is 25%. From here we just add these together and get 37.5%.
With figuring the percentage of an early foundation dog, I believe it is easiest to work from the back forwards. In extended pedigrees this has to be done in steps. Pedigrees must be extensively researched to provide accuracy. For instance, you Aussie may have ten generations of recorded ancestry. You have to get the percentages figured out for all 32 individuals represented in the fifth generation, add these up and divide by 32 to get the percentage for the target individual.
You may be able to utilize the computerized Compuped program instead of doing all this by hand as I have learned to do. But please realize that you still have to know whether the computer has full and accurate data to work with. It is also noted that figures under 10% are not considered to contribute to any great extent to individual qualities. But in figuring a complete pedigree, I feel any small percentage should still be included to maintain accuracy. An individual's great-great grandparent has the chance to affect the present with a contribution of only 6.25%; this is in the fourth generation in a pedigree. If you looking at a pedigree with your desired blood relative only once in the firth generation, his contribution will be virtually nothing at 3.125%. However, the percentage adds up quickly when the foundation individual is permeated throughout the pedigree.
Again, it cannot be stressed enough that first you look at the individual. Is it bringing the genetic qualities to you program that you are interested in? If it is, percentages now become a very important tool for future planning.
Remember that pedigrees from registries may not be complete due to transfers in breeder use between several sources. Thus we rely on foundation breeder records and written histories shared through the years. However, the idea of using percentages need not be daunting; have fun!
Here are some examples found in my research of the percentage of Wood's Jay (1949-1964) in some Aussies from the 1970's (Sisler's Shorty lived 1948-1959). Those highlighted are in the various photo albums that can be seen on this site.
Piz' Joseph and Wood's Stubbie/Stubby (1961-1974) 87.5%
Montoya's Skipper/Snipper 85.9375%; as well as Piz' Sheba and Olson's Blue Joe,
Higgins' Pinkie and Shadey Mountain Little Bit 66.8%
Jones' Mity Bite 71.273437%
Jones' Reddy Teddy 47.265625%
And on into the 1980's:
Ruff-N-Reddy Shadey Joe 52.5%
Bearfoot's Red Man Chew Rossy "Chewy" and Bearfoot's Cinder'N Ash "Spook" 45.11%
WTCH Slash V Slide me Sweet, CD "Slip" was 26.66125%
And in the 1990's:
HSW Ace in the Hole 39.98%
Silverledge Slide MeToDaBar 22%
Chevreherd's OutaTheWoods 33.536%
Kel-Mar's RC Rippin' Ruby 26.9625%
Chevreherd Max 21.7985%
Chevreherd Rip Roarin Cain 23.85%
But look at the percentage of Wood's Jay in some "show bred" Aussies!:
Savor and Cactus of Flintridge 34.375%
Wildhagen's Dutchman of Flintridge, along with Fieldmaster and Whispering Pines of Flintridge, who produced Fieldmaster's Three Ring Circus were all 28.9%
Tophand's Lisa 31.64%, dam of Flashback,
Hallmark, Mastercharge and Superstar
of Windermere all 19%
Briarbrook's Checkmate 16.65%
A person could say that the strength of the
Flintridge line was built on the daughters and grand-daughters of Wood's Jay:
Smedra's Blue Mistingo (who was prick-eared, by the way) Lighter's Asta,
Nettesheim's Twinkle and Nightingale's (Sorensen's) Tammy.
Pedigree search sources for the Australian Shepherds include: The Aussie Heritage by Carol Troop (phone404-475-3690), 1501 Mid Broadwell Rd, Alpharetta, GA 30201; as well as Kris Toft's series of Australian Shepherd Pedigrees. Volumes I and II are especially valuable as these include most to the foundation dogs. They are very easy to use. And let's no t forget ASCA's treasures in the form of its tow yearbooks. Pedigrees from registries may not be complete due to transfer in breeder use between several sources.
The idea of using percentages need not be daunting; have fun!

What is the most desired thing in this wicked world? And the obvious answer to this question is "happiness" which is supposed to be the ultimate goal for everyone's life. But unfortunately the things are not easy because the one's life is incomplete without sorrow, sadness and struggle but that does not mean that there are not techniques and ways by which you can have happiness amid of all these things. In all over the world everyone strives for happiness and wants to keep it forever but this would be called someone's elusion if he thinks that way. What you need to do is to keep the things simple and be satisfied for being happy, for more info you can refer http://www.lifemoodscoaching.com/.
High desire can't always provide happiness
It is being seen that in this modern world desire of the people is very high and it is has little to do with happiness. There are so many desires of people like to achieve something higher, desire to have luxurious life, desire to have better relationship etc. and people are so lost in their desires that they drop their happiness far behind. So one has to understand that to remain happy it is very necessary to keep the things simple and limit his or her desires. There is a very effective way to be happy if you are grateful and satisfied with the things you already have. It will not only keep you happy but also bring more into your life. One should always follow his or her gut no matter what will happen. You should always listen to yourself and never regret on your decision.
Focus on yourself
To be happy it is very necessary to build a deep relationship with yourself. You do not have to apologize to someone for the things that you have like your personality, your voice, your attitude etc. in simple words you have to own yourself to be happy. Family and friends are two important branches of life and you always should try to keep yourself closer to them because they will remain with you and love you even in your harder time. It has been studied that some people are less satisfied with their jobs but they need to understand that if they have a positive outlook and better relationships, they will make the best out of any kind of job he is doing. So one should not limit his level of happiness by the job he is doing.

The April Challenge for the group is to use 25 sheets of Kraft Cardstock. I'm pretty sure I can do that. I tend to scrapbook double page layouts for the three of us which is 4 double page layouts a piece plus one extra page.
Here is a close up of all the pages sets.
Page Set 1: 4 pattern papers
Amy Tangerine - Stitched (Map Paper); My Minds Eye - She did it; The Paper Studio - Tattered and Worn Stack; DCWV - The Everything Stack; 3x4 journaling cards; plastic flowers; labels.
Page Set 2: 4 pattern papers
Kraft cardstock; October Afternoon - Seaside "Board Walk"; DCWV - Gray, Red, Tan and Yellow cardstock; Paper Studio - Tattered and Worn; DCWV - Corrugated cardstock an Unknown orange; and gray seam binding.
Page Set 3: 6 pattern papers
Is a scraps from the Jen Hatfield - Home Made "the Best of" paper pad' The Paper Studio -Tattered and Worn; White and blue cardstock; doily pieces dog cuts from the Cricut; and a few hand cut frames I though I could use as journaling spots.
Page Set 4: Part 1 - 7 pattern papers
I'm not positive where all of these came from but I think the full sheets are from the Four Seasons Stack and the pieces are from The Slab Stack. I've also included a couple of pieces of green and kraft card stock and olive green seam binding.
Page Set 4 Part 2: - 7 pattern papers
I have not included any cardstock but will add that when I use this set.
Page Set 5: 2 pattern papers
DCWV - The Ultimate Premium Stack
Page Set 6: 8 pattern papers
Is another set of papers from the Jen Hatfield - Home Made "The Best Of" Collection. Most of these are scraps but there are a few 12x12 pieces of paper, 2 sheets of cut aparts. I'll be adding cardstock to this set also.
Page Set 7: 10 pattern papers
I've pulled more paper from The Slab and Four Seasons paper pads
Page Set 8: 4 pattern papers
Is a left over kit from the Paper Studio. I used a few of the sheets and maybe a sticker or two but there is still a lot left.
I didn't take the time add embellishments to most of the page kits, so I'll add that as I go along with cardstock. I just can't seem to scrap a page with it. I always print the monthly Page Maps and have a few sketches saved on Pinterest I'll reference for inspiration.
Thanks for Stopping by.

Allow me to be honest with you.
There are days, sometimes weeks, when I get to thinking about this damn blog and wonder, "What the hell am I gonna write about now?"
I'm sure you've had similar thoughts, as in, "Oh shit, how many times is he gonna rehash those old Chiat/Day war stories, bitch about planners, or rag on the open office space thing?"
I get it.
And yet, the work goes on. I crank out this drivel. You lap it up. And the money I make from the Google-placed ads on this site continues to accrue and will someday be used to keep me out of a dirty nursing home.
Today was one of those days when I had nothing. Nothing. Despite the glut of material that appears to be gushing from the new White House.
And then I came across this ad in the LA Times.
Holy crap, that's a mouthful.
First, you should know I have a strange fascination with dentistry. It is truly one of the oddest professions on God's green earth. I simply can't imagine some kid thinking...
"When I grow up, I want to strap on a rubber apron and stick sharp utensils into people's pieholes."
Moreover, I was introduced to the notion of orthodontics at an extremely young age. While wrestling with my five year old brother, I was kicked out of the top bunk bed and landed face first on the hardwood floors of our Jackson Heights apartment.
My two beautiful front teeth had been knocked out and bounced across the room into the opening of my PF Flyers.
Now I sport a bridge in my mouth that forces me to be very careful when biting into apples or beef ribs. And absolutely precludes me from eating a cob of corn impaled on a power drill.
What struck me most about the ad clipped from the newspaper was not the pointy-titted receptionist inexplicably pictured in the ad. Though that in itself could probably warrant its own blog posting.
I was inordinately drawn to the ad because not long ago I was contracted by an ad agency to pitch a competitor of...er...OK, that's weird, there's not even a name to this company/ dentist office/implant factory.
Is pointy-titted Ani the one who actually does the dental work?
I'm so confused. Even more confused about the pitiful trajectory of my career and how I ended up writing similar ads about dental implants. That too, is its own blog posting.
For now, all I can do is unpack this ad and study its craftsmanship.
Damn, we didn't include a bullet point about FREE! Sedation. That could've been a game changer.

I finally forced my lovely husband to hang the mirror and shower curtain while I made the guest bathroom "shine" this afternoon. I am very happy to say that we are finally FINISHED with this project. Oh how sweet it is to be DONE. Now for our master bathroom, right Andy??? :)
Please do scroll back to earlier posts regarding this bathroom. It will really help to show the dramatic difference! We began with what most ladies would call a digusting, bachelor pad bathroom complete with partially ripped-up flooring and a hole in the tub. And now we have a fabulously clean and updated bathroom. Oh how this room just needed a bit of TLC...or a lot of TLC. Here are the "after" pics of the project!!!
Outside looking in...
Admittedly, I will be changing out the cheapo blinds on this window with a bamboo shade...we can't even get these blinds to come down! Fair warning for guests who may use this bathroom! HAHA :)
I still love this shower curtain...I purchased it before we had even said our "I Dos" because I loved it so much. I never knew how much better it could look in a refreshed bathroom!
New vanity top and faucet...LOVE it! Bye-bye seashell sink and crystal knob faucet!
Full shot...
Is this a new tub? NO! But doesn't it look like it??? Check older posts to see how we did it!
Admittedly, this mirror is a bit too small. :( It may eventually need to be traded out...SAD! But it will definitely do for now!
As you can tell, we are VERY pleased with this project. It is so nice to have things cleaned up and to see what a large transformation has taken place. We salvaged what we could (the existing tub, cabinetry, toilet) and did ALL of the work ourselves (with my parents)--this is the key to saving precious moo-lah! Don't be afraid to tackle big home projects (as I often am at first)--it is SO worth all of the work, sweat, and effort. Knowing that you made the exact changes that you wanted to make without paying someone a "boo-koo" of money is such a powerful thing!
Enjoy the rest of your week!!!

Hey everyone,
I've been thinking to make a video "you've been spotted". Sometimes I see nice rides and sometimes a little fun chasing a bit and taking off the traffic lights
I don't know if you would NOT like to be in a video. Tell me what you think of a video of this kind. I would hide the license plate obviously.

What to Expect On a First Class Cruise
First-class Galapagos cruises pack a great bargain. They are not so expensive but still offer some of the luxury feel found on bigger vessels. Quaint and efficient accommodations, first class service, and plenty of room is something you will find on a first-class Galapagos cruise. It is a great way to spend your money wisely while still enjoying a piece of the upper crust. On first class cruises you can find Jacuzzis, kayaks, and guides who do a wonderful job of capturing your interest on excursions.
A first-class Galapagos cruise may not have the same luxury amenities or decked out accommodations with private balconies, but they do have attentive service and they are very comfortable. The Beagle, SeaStar Journey, EcoGalaxy, Galaxy, Mary Anne, or the Tip Top II, III and IV are fine examples of our most recommended first-class Galapagos cruises.
The below cruise boats are in the First Class category.
Sort by Category:
Sort by Cruise Type:
- Motor Catamaran
- Small Yacht
- Motor Sailor

From 12pm-3pm the event will offer a Human Library. This is an opportunity to 'borrow aperson' to find out about their lives. 'Books on loan' will include young people who use localmental health services and people who work within mental health such as nurses and social workers.

The event has been organised by the Central Norfolk Early Intervention Team, in collaboration with young people who use this service. At the event, the team will be carrying out a survey, which can be completed anonymously, to gather young people's views on mental health services, and how they think they should be.

Ask any marketer about the importance of video and you'll be met with a slew of reasons why multimedia is essential to modern branding and advertising campaigns. Now cheaper and simpler to employ professional grade video than ever, companies can deliver compelling, emotionally engaging content to consumers and forge a strong brand connection. Social media, especially, serves as a vehicle to deliver video content direct to users' screens; this is especially embodied in the rise of livestream coverage.
Livestreaming might seem like it's more geared toward journalists or individuals, but it's a powerful tool in the small business advertiser's marketing toolbox as well. Here's how to best leverage live streaming and expand your brand's reach.
What is livestreaming?
Video livestreaming is, quite simply, the act of transmitting live footage over the internet to an active audience. In the past, live streaming was typically done on a dedicated platform, but today, social media has expanded the reach of live streaming to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. [Check out these ways to use Instagram Live for business.]
"For the first time, small businesses can really experiment with video as a means of communication," said Tom More, founder and CEO of the creative multimedia company Slidely. "Livestreaming is not a new app, there's nothing new they need to learn, because it's built into social media. I think what's happening now will help empower them in new ways."
While platforms like UStream have long been hosting live videos, social media's step into the live-streaming territory represents a real opportunity for startups and small businesses to quickly get their messages out at little cost. [See Related Story: How to Use Twitter Video to Tell Better Stories on Social Media]
How do I create livestream ads?
Not all live videos are created equal. Developing an effective video ad campaign requires a strategy, and your live footage should be treated no differently. In fact, sloppy or unplanned video could damage your brand and have a negative effect, so it's important to get it right. It's worth it to put pen to paper and brainstorm a bit beforehand.
"The rules still apply," Beth Mock LeBlanc, chief creative officer, founder and managing partner at MLB Creative, said. "You need to have a plan for your live videos; it can't just be ad lib. Find out what your audience is interested in and come up with a plan that targets that."
While planning is important, the beauty of live video is its casual, personable quality, More said. Striking the right balance between structure and comfort is key.
"Livestreaming adds something in terms of honesty," More said. "From the user's point of view, it should even seem unrehearsed, but businesses need to rehearse and understand their message."
Based on the advice of our expert sources, here are a few things to keep in mind when developing a livestreaming strategy:
- Post a teaser: If people are going to tune in to your livestreams, they need to know when you're going to be on. Sure, anyone in your network may happen upon your stream while online, but you'll see an improvement in views and engagement if you give a heads-up to your followers first.
- Create a rough script: Livestreaming allows you to show a more authentic, spontaneous and human side to your brand. Still, a meandering or nonsensical video will leave users feeling confused, which doesn't lead to very many conversions. Draft some bullet points and perform a few dry runs before going live, but avoid becoming beholden to a specific script!
- Keep your content fresh: Not all livestreams have to feel like advertisements. Users are more likely to engage with content that isn't a direct pitch. If a customer tells you that he or she liked the work you did, ask that person if they'll go live for 30 seconds and tell your followers about his or her experience. Offer tutorials and how-to videos to help your followers solve a problem that's associated with your industry. Livestream events like trade shows or community outings. Any type of content that helps you develop a connection between your social media followers and your brand is a success.
- Remember your brand: As part of your marketing strategy, you should have a "brand-positioning statement," or a simple theme that embodies why your brand is the best choice for the consumer. Your live streams are representing your company's brand, so be sure to stay on message and remain consistent in the way you approach content creation.
- Sell a feeling: Dry or technical advertisements will never go as far as emotionally driven content, and video is an excellent medium for capturing feeling. Know your audience, their needs and their interests, and then be sure to create engaging content that connects with them. Building the association between your brand and audience is more important than pushing a product.
- Consider incentives: Entice your followers with deals and specials that are only obtainable through your livestreams. Not only will this increase the potential for conversions through that channel, but it will also encourage the growth of your followers over time. Livestreaming might capture one specific moment, but the strategy surrounding it is long-term in nature.
The better your strategy is tailored to your audience's needs, the better the response will be. A successful video marketing campaign, especially social media-based livestreaming, has the potential to reach well beyond your network, Mock Leblanc said.
"In our experience, people are very engaged with video," Mock LeBlanc said. "People share video more and search for it more often. If you can come up with some good content, it can be a very effective tool."
"In social, we have something TV didn't, which is real-time sharing," More added. "People will give you feedback and share it with their friends, and then you have the ability to retarget those people with something a little more focused on the offering. That makes it real."
Like all branding and marketing efforts, livestreaming should be all about forging an emotional bond with the potential customer. Deploying relatable, informative and entertaining video in real-time on users' social media feeds is a great way to do exactly that.

OPI Red Hot Rio is a deep cherry red crelly. Oh my goodness this is the kind of red I adore. I love to wear red polish. It's so classic and sexy! This finish is the best of both jelly and creme. Super shiny and squishy looking but with enough pigment it's not sheer at all. Red Hot Rio is part of the Brazil collection from early 2014.
OPI The Man With The Golden Gun is an 18k gold flakie top coat. It feels pretty decadent wearing pure gold on my nails, but it sure does look nice. TMWTGG was released in the 2012 holiday collection.
