There are a lot of sticker companies out there. And many people wonder how to determine which sticker companies make high-quality stickers. At Custom Stickers, we pride ourselves on making the highest quality stickers in the industry. Here we will talk about what goes into a high-quality sticker and how we set ourselves apart from other sticker makers.
Making a sticker doesn't sound like a super tricky process - design, print, and cut - but there is a lot that goes into it. Materials, color capabilities, print resolution, and process all factor into the sticker quality.
A high-quality sticker starts with a high-quality design. I don't simply mean an excellent design or incredible piece of art. I'm talking about the resolution and quality of the file itself.
At Custom Stickers, we don't print blurry or low-resolution files. Instead, every file that comes through our door is quality checked, and when we get something lower resolution than what our state-of-the-art printers can handle, we kick the file over to our design team.
They have a lot of experience in enhancing images. They'll do the heavy lifting to enhance your design and ensure that the file isn't pixelated or blurry.
In some cases, this may even involve recreating a logo or design so that the final product is a crisp, high-quality sticker. But, don't worry, we send proofs after any adjustments so that you can see the difference and make sure it's exactly what you want.
We wrote a blog post with additional information about raster images and vector files if you are starting to design a sticker.
A high-quality sticker requires more than just a quality design, however. The material that it's printed onto is also essential.
When choosing a sticker company, consider the specifications they promise on their vinyl. For example, is the vinyl UV resistant? Is it waterproof? Can it stand up to rain, sleet, and snow? What about dishwashers and microwaves?
At Custom Stickers, we spend a lot of time developing our product and ensuring that we use the highest quality materials. Our vinyl is all of the above, and it has a minimum outdoor lifespan of 5 years. It won't fade, wear out, or lose adhesion for five years. It holds up going through the dishwasher or microwave. You won't find many sticker companies that offer this.
For us, the sticker finish is an extension of the vinyl and material discussion. We use high-quality laminate to finish all of our stickers. This adds to the durability and allows us to customize how it looks.
We can apply matte or gloss laminate depending on your needs. However, note that some sticker companies don't finish their stickers with laminate. This makes them far less durable.
Color accuracy is one area where we set ourselves apart from the competition. In the print and sticker industry, the standard printer uses four unique colors of ink: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black). These printers use those four colors to mix all other colors.
Unfortunately, the typical sticker printer doesn't produce specific colors accurately, especially color gradients and reds/oranges.
Our printers are state-of-the-art. We use ten unique colors of ink. In addition to the standard four colors of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black, our printers use Orange, Red, Light Black (Grey), Light Cyan, Light Magenta, and White.
This gives us the best color accuracy and widest color gamut on the market. We can print photo and art quality colors and resolution with 98.2% Pantone coverage.
I can't think of anything worse than a custom sticker that comes out blurry or pixelated. We print all of our stickers in 1440p resolution. This means that we can print complex, highly detailed designs without issue.
If your design is low-res, our talented design team won't send it to the printer. Instead, they will enhance it. If a design that looks like it will be blurry or pixelated comes through our system, we will work on it until it looks great.
You always get free proofs, so you can approve the enhancements we make to clarity and resolution before we print.
Finally, the cut of the stickers. Die-cut stickers (stickers cut to the shape of your design) are our most popular product. Our cutting machines can cut highly detailed shapes with extreme accuracy and precision. As a result, your stickers will look exactly how you want them.
I hope this was informative, and you better understand why CustomStickers.com makes the best stickers in the business.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — A person with knowledge of the negotiations tells The Associated Press that wide receiver Tim Patrick and the Denver Broncos have agreed to a three-year extension worth $30 million with $18.5 million in guarantees.
DENVER (AP) — Cornerback Darius Slay seized both the loose football and the moment.
Slay scooped up the loose football on the final play of he third quarter and returned it 83 yards for a touchdown, sparking the Philadelphia Eagles' 30-13 upset of the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
DENVER (AP) — Denver's offensive struggles are understandable given that their three fastest players are sidelined.
Jerry Jeudy (ankle) has an outside chance of playing this week, but KJ Hamler (knee) is done for the year and Albert Okwuegbunam's pulled hamstring is still on the mend.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants' vaunted defense was supposed to carry the team while Daniel Jones and his banged-up skill players on offense ironed things out after an training camp marked by injuries.
DENVER (AP) — A trio of Broncos returning from injuries celebrated their 2021 debuts in Denver's 17-12 win over the Los Angeles Rams' reserves in the preseason finale Saturday night.
Courtland Sutton caught an 8-yard touchdown pass, Von Miller made three tackles and Albert Okwuegbunam had a team-best three receptions.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Broncos coach Vic Fangio faced another difficult decision without a clear-cut answer after selecting his starting quarterback this week: Play Von Miller this weekend on grass or hold him out until the season opener on turf?


Attock court orders immediate release of journalist Imran Riaz Khan!
Attock court on Thursday after a case against Imran Riaz Khan was dismissed instructed the police to let him go if he wasn’t wanted in another case.
The Punjab Police brought Imran Riaz Khan before the court and sought a three-day physical remand.
Judicial Magistrate Attock Yasir Tanveer, after hearing the case till 3 am in the morning, reserved the decision, which was issued later in the morning.
The eight-page order stated: “Keeping in view the above said facts and circumstances and guidance from the above-said case laws, at this moment the case in hand is not a case of sufficient evidence which connect the accused Imran Riaz with the commission of the offense as embodied in the crime report, therefore, the accused Imran Riaz Khan is hereby discharged from this case.”
The police had taken Imran Khan into custody when he arrived at the Islamabad Toll Plaza on Tuesday night.
A day earlier, Islamabad High Court disposed of Imran Riaz Khan’s petition.
IHC noted that the journalist Imran Riaz Khan was arrested by Punjab police from Attock, which is “not under the court’s jurisdiction.”


Exciting and extremely rare opportunity to purchase a building plot of about 1.5 acres, with detailed planning permission for a stunning 5 bedroom barn-style home.
An exciting opportunity to purchase a building plot on which planning permission has been granted for the erection of a brand new barn-style five bedroom home. The site is situated on the edge of the village, just a third of a mile from the village's community pub, and in a picturesque valley surrounded by open fields. The proposed new property will extend to around 360m2 arranged over two floors, excluding the garage. The accommodation will include intercommunicating reception rooms and kitchen providing a large open plan living area on the ground floor, together with five bedrooms and four bathrooms, (three en suite) on the first floor. Most rooms in the house will enjoy exceptional views across the glorious surrounding countryside. The house has been cleverly designed by renowned local practice DMW Architects to take full advantage of the site, and also to meet Passivhaus standards. The plot extends to just over 1.5 acres and is bounded on the south and west sides by the Gussage stream, a tributary of the River Allen.
Full details of the planning permission can be found on the Dorset Council website.

Finally, we discuss long term research directions to further elucidate the physiological contributions of APC/C parts during tumorigenesis and validate their potentials like a novel class of anti-cancer focuses on. Cdh1 substrates. Furthermore, the recognition of Mcl-1  like a Cdc20 substrate as well as G9a and GLP  as Cdh1 substrates expands APC/C features into regulating cellular apoptosis and senescence. In addition, APC/C also participates in additional cell cycle-independent functions including regulating cellular rate of metabolism , cell mobility  and gene transcription [104, 105, 128] through degradation of specific Acesulfame Potassium substrates. However, further biochemical and mouse modeling studies are required to validate a physiological part and pinpoint the underlying molecular mechanisms for APC/CCdh1 in these cellular processes. Emerging evidence Acesulfame Potassium implicates APC/C in the differentiation and function of the nervous system in part through governing the ubiquitination and degradation of neuron-specific substrates (Table 1). Specifically, APC/CCdh1 was found to control axon growth and patterning in the process of normal mind development . Subsequent studies reported that mechanistically, APC/CCdh1 regulates neuronal advancement through concentrating on two axon growth-promoting elements, SnoN and Id2, for degradation [116, 148]. Following studies uncovered that APC/CCdc20 regulates dendrite morphogenesis and presynaptic differentiation through degradation from the transcription elements Identification1  and NeuroD2 , respectively. Further research demonstrated that synaptic plasticity, synaptic size as well as the bioenergetic and antioxidant position of neurons are managed by APC/CCdh1-mediated degradation of GluR1 , Liprin- [121, 122] and Pfkfb3 . Although many aspects of the way the APC/C regulates the anxious system have already been uncovered on the mobile level, it continues to be unclear how on the organismal level generally, APC/C insufficiency could have an effect on neuronal function, including mammalian storage and learning , and whether APC/C functions in psychiatric and neurological disorders. 1.6. Rules of APC/C activity Furthermore to critical jobs for APC/C in lots of mobile processes defined above through marketing targeted degradation of the cohort of Acesulfame Potassium substrates, APC/C and its own linked E3 ligase activity, is certainly managed by multiple means such as for example phosphorylation firmly, inhibitor binding, subcellular localization, and destabilization of its activators or subunits. Particularly, during early stage of mitosis, phosphorylation of APC/C subunits including scaffolding protein APC1 and TPR protein (APC6/Cdc16, APC8/Cdc23, APC3/Cdc27 and APC7) by Cdk1 and Plk1, recruits Cdc20 towards the APC primary complex to create a dynamic APC/CCdc20 holoenzyme [53, 54, 165]. Additionally, phosphorylation of co-activators Cdc20 or Cdh1 provides another level of legislation of APC/C activity. Although phosphorylation of Cdc20 by mitotic kinases activates APC/CCdc20 [53 generally, 54], APC/CCdc20 E3 ligase activity, alternatively, is certainly inhibited by Cdks, Bub1, and MAPKs through the spindle checkpoint [166C168]. Notch1 Furthermore, Cdk-mediated phosphorylation of Cdh1 prevents its binding towards the APC/C primary complicated and inactivates APC/CCdh1 from past due G1 to mitotic leave [53, 73, 169]. Furthermore, phosphorylation of APC/C substrates provides been shown to safeguard them from APC/C-mediated devastation. For instance, phosphorylation of Cdc6 by Cdk2/Cyclin E during S stage blocks its binding to Cdh1, safeguarding Cdc6 from APC/CCdh1-mediated degradation and ubiquitination . Likewise, Skp2 escapes Cdh1-mediated degradation when phosphorylated by Akt [171, 172]. Oddly enough, many endogenous APC/C inhibitors (as proven in Desk 4) have already been discovered to restrain APC/C activity through immediate relationship. Among these inhibitors, SAC elements Mad2, Bub3 and BubR1 had been uncovered through hereditary displays in the budding fungus by two indie groupings [173, 174]. Notably, many key SAC elements were discovered enriched on the unattached kinetochores during mitosis, recommending a central function of SAC elements in regulating spindle development and mitotic development [175C177].

BY ROBERT DIGITALE
Three things grabbed my attention about the upcoming North Bay premiere of “Spring Awakening:” the play’s eight Tony Awards; the parental advisory on the production’s website; and the fervent comments by young cast members that this is a play that parents and teens need to see.
The musical opens Friday Jan. 20 at the Spreckels Performing Arts Center in Rohnert Park. It runs for two weekends, ending Jan. 29.
Scott van der Horst, who put on last year’s magical, youth production of “Les Miserables,” is the director, with Benjamin Mertz as musical director.
The cast is comprised of more than two dozen young people, ages 14 to 23, from schools around the North Bay.
The play, which in 2007 won the Tony for best musical, follows the tortured inner lives of a group of 19th-century German adolescents. The New York Times said it features “a ravishing rock score” by Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik.
Van der Horst is quick to note the heavy issues tackled by the play: teen pregnancy, homosexuality, masturbation, child abuse and teen suicide.
That list helps explain the website’s parental advisory: “There is language and physical movement represented within this show that is explicitly sexual in nature and may not be suitable for younger audiences.”
On Thursday night, van der Horst was kind enough to stop rehearsal so the cast members could tell me why this musical matters to them.
Repeatedly they said today’s teenagers confront these issues. And while it may not be easy, adults and youth need to talk about them.
Pat Gornet, a senior from Sonoma Academy, said when he first saw the show, “it scared me because … a lot of the issues ring too true.”
The young people acknowledged that they live in a time when there is more opportunity in school and elsewhere to discuss these subjects.
The musical “couldn’t have been put on 50 years ago,” said Jake Brinskele, a senior at Sonoma Academy.
Even so, they said, too many teens struggle with suicide and depression, and parents too often are quick to deny that their children could face such problems. Some said the show gives youth permission to bring up the subjects with their parents.
“I think it shows how far we’ve come,” said Samantha Harper, a 19-year-old student at Sonoma State University, “and how far we’ve yet to come.”
Show times are 8 p.m. Jan. 20, 21, 27 and 28 and 2 p.m. Jan. 22 and 29. All seats are $22.

TAIPEI, Taiwan — After visiting the White House for the second time in two days, Hon
Hai Chairman Terry Gou on Friday confirmed that his firm was planning major “expanded investments” in the U.S.
Greeted by White House reporters after his meeting, Gou read from a statement: “We are planning a number of expanded investments in America together with the office of American innovation. This project will include both capital-intensive and skilled labor-intensive and high-tech investment.”
Gou said Hon Hai was
already working with local U.S. governments to select a location for the project.
“I will share with you more this summer,” he said. [FULL STORY]

PERRY TAKING OBAMACARE CASH FOR ELDERLY, DISABLED PROGRAM — Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s wants to rip Obamacare from the law books, shred it, burn it and destroy the “monstrosity” he says it is. So it was bewildering for some advocates to see him quietly accept millions of dollars in Obamacare funding to help transform his state’s long-term care programs for the elderly and disabled. The Perry administration is preparing a formal application to capture funds from the so-called Community First Choice program — an Obamacare-created optional plan to help states deliver better quality services in the community for long-term care patients.
-- Perry’s aides said the governor was just being consistent: He’s always supported programs that boost community care for the elderly and disabled. “Long before Obamacare was forced on the American people, Texas was implementing policies to provide those with intellectual disabilities more community options to enable them to live more independent lives, at a lower cost to taxpayers,” said a Perry spokesman. http://politi.co/171gIRx
SEBELIUS EMAILS HHS STAFF ABOUT HEALTH LAW BASICS – HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius acknowledged yesterday that some in her agency might not know much about the health care law if they don’t work on it every day. In an agency-wide email on Monday, she summarized the law’s basic components and invited employees to sign up for a webinar about the health insurance marketplaces. They can also attend a brown bag lunch where HHS staffers explain the law, she wrote. “I recognize the hard work that many of you have put into implementing the law for the last several years, but I realize that many of you don’t work on the law’s implementation directly every day, or at all,” the email says.
Happy Wednesday and welcome to PULSE, where we’re starting to believe a state is only as good as the name of its insurance exchange. Yesterday, New York unveiled “New York State of Health” — a catchy play on an old Billy Joel lyric. Kentucky’s got KyNect, and Maryland has its Health Benefit Connection. Most amusing though is the battle of tenses between Covered California and its neighbor Cover Oregon. Guess California’s living in the past.
“Mama, take this PULSE from me, I can’t use it anymore.”

HHS DOES NEW TESTING – HHS officials arrived in Kentucky yesterday to begin its operational readiness review with Kentucky, the first state in a series to undergo a new round of exchange preparedness testing, sources tell POLITICO. The review will examine the state exchange's interaction with the federal data hub, call center readiness and other functions. Connecticut is the next state expected to undergo the testing later this week.
COUNTDOWN TO OCT. 1: 42 days.
YOUNG ADULTS STILL UNAWARE OF MARKETPLACES – Only about one in four young adults is aware of the health insurance exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act, which will open for enrollment on Oct. 1, according to a new Commonwealth Fund study. The study also dispels the conventional wisdom that so-called “young invincibles” forego buying health insurance because they believe they don’t need it; instead, high costs of employer-sponsored health plans are more frequently to blame when young adults choose not to buy coverage. It’s another sign of the heavy lift facing the administration to get young people to enroll in exchanges.
CDC ANNOUNCES INFECTIOUS DISEASE RESPONSE AWARDS — The CDC announced yesterday $75.8 million in awards to states to help bolster their ability to respond to infectious disease incidents. The funding, awarded through the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases Cooperative Agreement, delivers support to all 50 states, six local health departments and eight territories, according to the agencies, and they help hire 1,000 full- and part-time lab employees. “With many infectious diseases first identified at the local level, this funding ensures that state health departments are able to effectively prevent, detect and respond to such public health threats,” said Beth Bell, director of CDC’s National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases.
NEW YORK BRANDS ITS EXCHANGE — As PULSE already noted, New York’s insurance exchange has been dubbed “New York State of Health.” “The brand is anchored in a mantra the defines what it is to be a New Yorker,” state exchange officials said in their announcement. The announcement was the start of a publicity campaign, developed by DDB New York, that will begin Oct. 1. “In creating a name, we wanted it to be meaningful, memorable and capture the essence of what it is to be a New Yorker — that unique ‘can do’ attitude and state of mind,” said Donna Frescatore, the exchange executive director. “Across the state, there’s a growing sense of excitement as we move closer to enrollment. We’re confident the ‘NY State of Health’ name and campaign will inspire New Yorkers who are uninsured or underinsured to explore the options and choose the plan that fits their needs.”
--Officials also revealed the list of 15 insurers that will offer exchange coverage. They include Affinity Health Plan, Today’s Options of NY, Capital District Physicians Health Plan, Emblem Health, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, Excellus, Fidelis Care, Health Republican Insurance, Healthfirst New York, HealthNow New York, Independent Health, MetroPlus Health Plan, MVP Health Plan, North Shore LIJ, Oscar Insurance Corporation and United Healthcare of New York. There are also 10 plans offering dental coverage.
REPORT: SUBSPECIALTIES ANOTHER CHALLENGE TO PRIMARY CARE — Are nurse practitioners and physician assistants being siphoned into subspecialties? A new report published in American Family Physician suggests they are — and that it presents a challenge to those hoping NPs and PAs are a potential solution to the nation’s primary are shortage. MedPage today reports: “Researcher Stephen Petterson, PhD, and colleagues at the Robert Graham Center for Policy Studies in Family Medicine and Primary Care, in Washington, reviewed data from the National Provider Identifier file to find out where NPs and PAs are working and if they're practicing with physicians. They found fewer than half of PAs and slightly more than half of NPs were practicing in primary care: http://bit.ly/17woYZA
POLL: CALIFORNIANS SUPPORT OBAMACARE, BUT DIVISIONS EXIST — Steady support among California voters for Obamacare mask major ideological and geographical differences, according to a Field Research Corporation poll. More than half of the state’s voters support the law — heavily concentrated in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles County — while 38 percent, mostly Republicans, oppose the law. The poll suggests widespread support for the law’s Medicaid expansion and a requirement for large employers to offer coverage to full-time workers. http://bit.ly/1cXtszE
--AND LANDRIEU CONTINUES TO LEAD IN LOUISIANA — Sen. Mary Landrieu holds a sizeable lead over Republican opponent Rep. Bill Cassidy, a member of the GOP doctors caucus, according to the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling. Although her lead is 50-40, the firm also notes that many of the undecideds are likely to lean toward Cassidy, since most disapprove of the president. But even in a tighter race, Landrieu holds a slight edge. http://bit.ly/1cYhoyb

SEX, A NEW RELIGION: A STRUGGLE WITH SEXUAL ADDICTION
I’ve come to the conclusion that there should be a new religion established in the world—sex. Everybody does it, usually during the same time, and mostly in the same places. The significance of sex in this present world is worship in its truest form. It’s what drives most of us. As men, it’s the reason we get a college degree, buy those Porsches/Hummers, and the reason we swallow the idea that the woman is always right. Sex sells everything, from water to a pair of sneakers. I’m surprised that the media hasn’t used it to sell diapers. It is also the reason why so many marriages are in a rut, AIDS is such an established disease, and why fifteen year olds are having children.
Speaking from a sexual addict’s point of view, I’ve worshiped this very thing for a matter of years. I’ve been exposed to it since I was 9 or 10 when my older brother showed me a dirty magazine that was hidden in a corner of his room. Then I was disgusted by it. I remember the pounding in my head once my innocent eyes were exposed to it. At the age of twelve I masturbated for the first time, looking at the scrambled Spice Channel on channel 99 of my parent’s television. Ever since then I was hooked to pornography. Now at the age of 22, ten years later I am still searching for a way out of my addiction in order for me to move on with my life and not get caught up and stuck in the mud in my distress, while life tramples by me leaving its dust for me to cough up. I never knew how much of an impact my addiction would have on me. I actually never considered it one, due to society’s experts saying how natural it is. If it’s so natural, then why am I and so many others so afraid to admit that they pleasure themselves in the darkness of rooms. Because it is not natural, it’s not normal, and once I realized that masturbation can actually be put up on the same shelf as homosexuality, that’s when I realized that I had a problem. I had a sexual disorder, not something I was born with, but a disorder that was influenced by the external cue theory, in which aspects of my environment create in me this sexual appetite.
Reasons why I am so fixed on this subject of sexual addiction is due to the way it has ruined my life. I never noticed until recently, but due to my sexual habits, I spoiled so many opportunities in my life. I failed out of college my freshman year at Temple because I chose to sit in front of the computer looking at pornography rather than looking at my books. I’ve made some poor choices in women in the past, based on my mind being on the pure physical rather than the overall aspect of the women. And now, I am on my way to being a father due to my failure in facing this problem head on. I’m talking about life-altering decisions here, due to an addiction. When I look at crack addicts and see the results of their habits, and then I take a look at mine, I realize, we are pretty much the same. The sexual addict and the crack addict have a life that is changed forever due to decisions based around their addiction. If you want to be religious or not, masturbation or even other sexual addictions are a selfish act. As I said before, many marriages suffer due to relationships built on sex. A man and woman are attracted to one another, keep the courting routine at a minimum without getting to know the individual, have sex, and if it’s great they say it’s love, if it’s not, they say, “Well, since it wasn’t out of this world, she’s not out of this world, thus our relationship will not be out of this world.” It’s purely ridiculous. And to think that you may have missed out on the person that you are meant to be with due to your poorly formed decision which was based on 15 minutes or sadly, three minutes of pleasure. If you want to have a happy marriage, get to know someone outside the bedroom.
There are essentially three reasons why I’m writing this. The first reason is to possibly help another individual, and I know one is out there, who is suffering through the same mental and physical trauma that I’m going through because of their sexual addiction. The second motive is to help myself, because writing this in itself is a means of me getting rid of this obsession. It’s a literal death of my old self being poured into this paper. Thirdly, it’s due to my conviction that sex has become of so much importance, that it has inspired such a lack of morals and dilemmas that no one quite comprehends. I don’t want anyone else to suffer as I did, because I didn’t comprehend it either.

The thing about being a child star is, you either end up blowing through all your money and overdosing on a lethal cocktail of opioids and stimulants (I’m looking at you, Brad Renfro and River Phoenix), or you ride that fame train for a lifetime of paydays.
For Lisa Whelchel, it was a no-brainer: Stay on the train.
Whelchel enjoyed worldwide stardom in the 1980s for her work in the role of Blair Warner, a preppy rich girl on the TV sitcom The Facts of Life. (Remember that loveable catchphrase, “I just had another one of my brilliant ideas!” and her constant bickering with tomboy Jo?)
Today, the 51-year-old is a Grammy-nominated singer, inspirational speaker and reality star (she made it to the final three on the 25th season of Survivor) is currently in Northeast Florida for the role of Mrs. Baker in Alhambra Theatre & Dining’s production of the Tony Award-winning play Butterflies Are Free.
“I play the mother of the young blind man,” Whelchel told Folio Weekly. “The role is very overprotective and kind of controlling. His [the son’s] world is up-ended by this free-spirited young woman who moves in next door. And thus, the mother’s world is up-ended because someone else is usurping her influence on her son’s life in a way that she feels he will only get hurt.”
This storyline might sound familiar. A film of the same name, based on the play by Leonard Gershe, debuted in 1972 and starred Goldie Hawn, Eileen Heckart and Edward Albert.
“I was originally asked to do a different play, and the director called and asked if I’d consider a different play that he thought would be a good fit for me,” says Whelchel. “So he told me to check out Butterflies Are Free, and when I watched the movie, I saw that the part of the young girl just fits my daughter perfectly.”
Whelchel’s referring to her real-life daughter, 22-year-old Clancy Cauble, who plays Jill, that perky, freethinking neighbor girl made famous by Hawn. This is Cauble’s first professional role and the first time mother and daughter have worked together.
“She lives with me and I homeschooled her, so we’ve always been close and spent a lot of time together,” Whelchel says. “But this has been especially fun to be able to work together. It’s been wonderful to just see her shine.”
The Alhambra’s version of Butterflies Are Free, directed by Tod Booth, also stars T.J. Washburn as Don Baker and Xander Chauncey as Ralph Austin. The play runs through March 22 with near-nightly performances.
And though her daughter is now considered a professional actor, Whelchel says she didn’t push any of her children in that direction.
“I told all of my kids that they couldn’t even consider it until they were past the age where I had anything to say about it, and if they wanted my support, then they needed to get a college degree first,” she says. “Clancy was so set on it that she actually got a four-year degree in two years so she could hurry up and move to California to pursue [acting].”
Caubel’s approach the the craft of acting is much different than Whelchel’s was, getting her experience in an ’80s sitcom.
“I wouldn’t say playing the role of Blair had any impact on the reality of my life,” she says. “I would say the experience of being a child star certainly impacted me in ways. It broadened my horizons and gave me confidence and real life experiences. It innately gave me courage to try things that might be outside the box because I lived such a unique childhood.”
Whelchel’s got a lot of irons in the fire. She constantly travels around the country, visiting churches and spreading “God’s love and acceptance and forgiveness.” She’s also featured in an upcoming Hallmark Channel movie The Mommy Bloggers, set to film in the summer. For now, however, she’s enjoying this time in Jacksonville staging a dinner theater play with her daughter.
“It’s a very different character than I am, personally, so it’s not like I can just be myself and play the character,” Whelchel says. “It does feel like it’s a very distinct character except when I’m able to tap into the feelings a mother has for a child, an adult child.” That aspect is very real for both actresses.


You've gotta give it up to 62 year old Larry Platt for his January audition on American Idol. First of all, he's several decades past the 28 year old limit to audition. Second, he looked ridiculous. Third, he sounded ridiculous, too. And these three facts somehow led to his audition taking on viral status, and very soon after, an official single release the next month. It eventually got parodied on various talk shows as well.
One has to wonder how Larry Platt feels about other bad fashion choices, like crocs, whale tails, and exposed bra straps... Let's hope he raps about it.
This Old Spice commercial took off big time when it first aired during the Superbowl. In subsequent months, many spoofs followed, and Old Spice even created a social media campaign based on what has been dubbed, Old Spice Guy. When this commercial was first released, I wrote a post entitled "Goodbye, Future Husband". Eleven months later, I still think goodbye, future husband indeed! I mean, what woman wouldn't be enamored with a man who had pecs, abs, and... everything else, of steel. And, oh, that voice... Plus the addition of a boat, two tickets to that thing you love, diamonds, and a horse -- it's enter swoonville.
How could any woman possibly resist? Even if I were a straight guy, Old Spice Guy would make me at least tempted to bat for the other team.
So have you ever wondered what would happen if you crossed Scarface with school children? Well, a few creative (and very sick humored) folks decided to show us in this little diddly aptly titled Scarface School Play. In it, little gangsters call each other "mother fudgers" and "sons of b's", while eating (snorting) mountains of popcorn (cocaine). Adding to the hilarity is the cardboard surveillance camera and how Tony looks like he's dancing when he's actually being shot. Though it was later revealed that this video was not an actual school play and that the children were actually paid actors, it doesn't matter. It's still hilarious.
If school plays were this awesome and memorable, I might have attended more often or even auditioned.
What was suppose to be a disturbing and cautionary news interview about a rapist in Lincoln Park, Alabama, turned into solid gold when the almost rape victim's super fierce brother, Antoine Dodson, decided to give the public a piece of his mind during the interview. One choice line is, "he's snatching your people up, trying to to rape 'em, so y'all needta hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husband, cuz they rapin' everybody out here". He ends the interview addressing the sex offender, complete with head bobs and exaggerated hand gestures, "You don't hafta come and confess that you did it. We lookin' for you. We're gonna find you. I'm letting you know now so that you can run and tell THAT, homeboy".
This question boggled many web citizens this summer: why is Keanu Reeves oh so very sad? It all started when a photog snapped a pic of a scruffy, almost homeless-looking Mr. Reeves seemingly somberly eating a sandwich on a dirty city park bench all by his lonesome. Since then, people have photoshopped Sad Keanu Reeves into many other scenarios. You can see 35 of the most popular Sad Keanu Reeves images here. Catch him in a boat, feeding cats, and even in anime.
This cultural symbol of South African soccer turned web meme was semi-amusing at first, but it stopped being so funny and entertaining after I got vuvuzela-rolled for the tenth gazillionth time during the World Cup. The worse part about this meme was that it got so big that Youtube temporarily put up an annoying feature that allowed members to easily add the vuvuzela sound to their videos.
I'm sad that I can no longer watch hot men kick around a ball on TV for the World Cup anymore, but being able to get by without hearing the droning sound of bees? It balances out.
Here's a video of Hitler reacting to the vuvuzela. Nothing like a meme about another meme.
This little gem was unearthed and unveiled to the world via Jimmy Kimmel's tweet. Originally uploaded to Youtube in January, it hit viral status after he shared it on twitter over the July 4th weekend. The first time I watched it, I was in a public place and had to turn down the middle part of the video for fear that others might think that I was watching porn.
Ah, who knew that double rainbows were so orgasmic? A truly spiritual experience.
In August, Steven Slater became an inadvertent hero for the frustrated working class folk when he dramatically stormed out of his job as a Jetblue flight attendant by activating and sliding down the in-case-of-emergency inflatable slide. He was in the headlines for weeks afterward, had many web dedications, and there was even talk of a potential reality show. However, that never came to fruition and he somehow turned to rapping.
If you need a recap of what happened, check out this animated video created by a Hong Kong news outlet. You know you've made it when they're talking about you in Asia.
When Tiger Woods attempted a chip shot during the 2010 Ryder Cup, photographer Mark Pain managed to capture an extraordinary photo -- an action shot of both Tiger Woods, and the golf ball flying towards his camera in close range before the ball eventually knocked the camera over. However, when the photo was published in the Daily Mail, readers noticed something else extraordinary about the photo -- the man standing to Tiger Wood's left looking on in an odd red wig and cigar get-up. It took web citizens an entire week (eons in the web world) to uncover the identity of the mystery mustached man as 30 year old London accountant Rupesh Shingadia, who had dressed as golfer Miguel Angel Jimenez to support the European team. As with Sad Keanu Reeves, many folks ended up photoshopping Cigar Guy into various settings and you can see 17 of them here.
Rock on, Cigar Guy. I hope to spot him at more sporting events.

Labor Day has come and gone, which means everyone is arguing about whether summer is over or not. Growing up in Massachusetts, I knew it was fall when it felt like fall. Unfortunately, there isn’t much change in the air in southern California, and I bet the next few years in Hawaii will be more of the same.
Don’t roll your eyes. I’m allowed to complain about too many sunny days in a row. I’m from the land of foliage, apple picking, pumpkin patches and all-out autumn insanity. I suddenly understand why Max was weirded out by everyone in Salem being obsessed with Halloween in Hocus Pocus… because he grew up in California, where seasons don’t exist. Side note: Hocus Pocus is (and always will be) the best Halloween movie ever.
WHOA. How did I end up all the way at the end of October? I’m starting to get a craving for hot cider. Let’s get back to today, the end of summer or beginning of fall, whichever you prefer it to be. I bet there’s a good chance most of you have leftover hamburger buns laying around.
Go get them.
We’re going to make French toast.
- 2 hamburger buns, split (4 “slices” of toast)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 3 Tbsp strawberry simple syrup*
- 1/4 cup chopped strawberries
- Combine eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla and sugar in a shallow bowl or dish. Soak each bun for at least a minute in the mixture.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle pan to medium heat and coat with vegetable oil. Cook the toast for a minute or two on each side, until golden brown.
- In a small saucepan, stir together the maple syrup and strawberry simple syrup over low heat. Once warm, add the chopped strawberries and toss them in the syrup. Remove from heat.
- Serve French toast warm, drizzled in strawberries & syrup, with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if you wish.
*(I used this recipe for the strawberry simple syrup. Initially I made it for yummy frozen rosé drinks, so it’s worth making. You can add it to a lot of things.)
If your buns are a bit stale, good. You want them to be as sturdy as possible. If they are still super soft, leave them out for a day. Hamburger buns can be flimsy and you don’t want it falling apart.
I’ll be honest with you guys, it’s always going to look like a hamburger bun, there’s no hiding that. If I was having people over for brunch and I wanted to make something fancy, I would probably go buy brioche or challah bread. But that’s not always practical.
I try to make my recipes as budget-friendly and accessible as possible. I feel like most people grew up with their mom or dad making them French toast with plain old white sandwich bread, and that’s exactly what this version tastes like. Bread is bread, so use what you have.
I didn’t reinvent the wheel with flavor profiles here either. Classic French toast has a very comforting and nostalgic taste that I didn’t want to compromise. Kids will love this dish. This is perfect for slumber parties, because you can make burgers for dinner and use the leftover buns for a cute breakfast everyone will love. You’ll have to double or quadruple the recipe amounts though!
Alright, sorry to recipe and run, but I’m literally in the middle of a huge house clean-up. We have friends coming to town for the weekend, and then immediately after we have a house/dog sitter coming to stay… while my husband and I house hunt in Hawaii! Make sure you follow my Instagram @thepickygourmet to see my stories and pics. I’ll talk to you all again when I’m back!

Family Collage Jennifer McNallyJennifer McNally Family Collage 4/4/2012 4/4/2012
My brother (top left), Frank (bottom left), my mom, sisterand I (top right), my dad and I (bottom right), and Gracie my daughter is in all of the photos. Family Collage Jennifer McNally 4/3/2012
The previous slide• My family consists of my mother, father, Frank, sister and brother. My parents divorced after twelve years of marriage. My mother has had a long term relationship with Frank. So I consider Frank to be a father figure as well. “The blended family consists of two adults and their children, all of whom are not from the union of their relationship.” (Galvin, et al. p.9)
“The intentional family involves a pair or a group of people,some or all of whom are unrelated biologically or legally, who share a commitment to each other , may live together, and consider themselves to be a family.” (Galvin et al. p.10) Myfamily includes my boyfriend and my daughter. He is not her biological father and we are not married, but we are a committed family.
Cohesion• Our family is very close emotionally. We may live far apart, but we our relationship with each other is most important. We are so close that it can be difficult to have independence. “Enmeshed. Family members experience extreme closeness, loyalty, dependence, and almost no individuality.” (Galvin et al, 2008)
Communication patterns• Frank is certainly the story teller in our family. He is always recalling funny stories that get everyone laughing. “Family stories encourage members to remember together.” (Galvin et al. p. 97)
My brother, sister, and I are very close. We enjoy getting together and all three of us are incredibly silly. We all share similar humor and we connect at family gatherings bylaughing. “Rituals convey a variety of meanings and messages in emotionally powerful patterns; they remind members of who they are, how much they care about each other.” (Galvin, et al. p. 113)
Family RitualsMy fathers side of the family gets together on the 4th of July every year, this has been happening since long before I was born. “”Ceremonial ritualsprovide unique opportunities for family members to bond with each other and significant others in their communities.” (Galvin et al. 2008)
CommitmentMy boyfriend and I are dedicated to our relationship and we takeit very seriously. Energy must be put into a relationship for it to continue to be healthy. We have been together for four years now. “Commitment implies intense singular energy directed toward sustaining a relationship.” (Galvin, et al. p. 129)
Roles My daughter is the most important person to me. We have aspecial bond as she spent the first 18 months of her life with me as a single mom. “Family members need mutual admiration, support, and reassurance.” (Galvin, et al. p. 155)
ThemesNo matter how far away I live from my family or what decisions I make I am continuously supported by my family. “”Some family stories depict strongfamily support, or no family support, when members face stressful times ortheir behavior violates family norms.” (Galvin et al. p. 99) I am so fortunate to have a family that is always there for me.
Family conflict My father avoids conflict while my mother talks about everything. It was astruggle for them to communicate. As I understand it that is one of the many reasons their marriage ended. “Conflicts in families stem from multiple issues and are handled in a variety of ways.” (Galvin et al. p. 208)
Decision makingGrowing up we always went to our mom for an answer to whatwe were allowed to do. My dad was usually the “good guy” ashe didn’t like to say no. “Decision-making processes rely on the repertoire of strategies members have developed to manage conflicting needs and desires.” (Galvin et al. p. 195)
A family to me means being there for each other no matterwhat. The relationships in my life are what make me happy. Thebonds I have with these people are more important to me then anything else. As an adult with a “family” of my own I am enjoying raising my daughter to understand the importance of family.

By Steve Holland - Analysis
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama gave his critics a voice at a fiscal responsibility summit on Monday where Washington did what Washington does best -- talk all day about issues.
The day-long White House talkfest allowed Obama to speak again about the need to bridge the partisan divide to the point that a fellow Democrat cited a biblical parable to explain why he was doing it.
Bringing the often warring parties together was a goal Obama had emphasized on the campaign trail last year. But he then set the issue aside in order to gain passage of the $787 billion economic stimulus plan over the opposition of Republicans.
The summit goal was a big one: Talk about ways to attack many of America’s systemic problems, like rising health care costs and runaway deficit spending, and set the stage for further discussions down the road.
As is usual for these kinds of sessions, there were plenty of ideas but no overall agreement -- not that Obama was looking for consensus at an initial meeting.
“I appreciate that, while we may have different opinions, there’s a renewed willingness to put some concrete ideas on the table, even on those issues that are politically tough. And that’s real progress,” he said.
The day ended with a remarkable session in which Obama took questions from leading members of the U.S. Congress -- a polite version of British “question time” in which the prime minister engages in back-and-forth with members of parliament.
Obama started with the man he defeated to win the presidency, Arizona Republican Senator John McCain.
A consistent advocate of cutting government spending and a leading opponent of the stimulus, McCain immediately complained about the high cost of a new fleet of presidential helicopters.
Obama declared that he agreed and, in a comment likely to send a chill down the spine of Lockheed Martin executives who fought hard for the helicopter contract, he said the present fleet of Marine One helicopters “seems perfectly adequate to me.”
“Of course, I’ve never had a helicopter before,” chuckled Obama, making clear he is still getting used to the trappings of the office he assumed on January 20. “So you know, maybe I’ve been deprived and I didn’t know it.”
McCain’s spokeswoman, Brooke Buchanan, said afterward that the senator was encouraged by Obama’s efforts to reach out to Republicans and hopes that he follows up on important bills coming down, including budget legislation.
The session moved Delaware Democratic Senator Tom Carper to refer to biblical scripture, citing the “Parable of the Sower” in which a sower dropped seeds into the earth.
“Some of the seeds were sown in shallow soil and nothing much came out of those, but some of the seeds were sown in fertile soil and multiplied a hundredfold,” he said.
An amused Obama called himself simply a glutton for punishment but said he would keep talking to one of his main critics, Republican Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia.
“Some day, sooner or later, he’s going to say, ‘Boy, Obama had a good idea,'” Obama said to laughter. “It’s going to happen. You watch. You watch.”

After decades underground, over 1/2 mile of Horse Creek will be daylighted through a new mixed-use urban neighborhood, as part of city of Bothell’s Downtown Revitalization Plan. This is great news, as the original plan for the redevelopment was to keep the stream in a pipe. It currently runs in a pipe under/along Bothell Way NE from about the 20000 block until it exits into the Sammamish River at the Park at Bothell Landing.

HOW TO DESTROY A NEW TURBO CHARGER IN THREE SECONDS
Garrett says the number one cause of turbo failure on a new or worn turbo is oil contamination
Anytime a turbo charger is repaired or replaced on a vehicle, Garrett says you must replace the oil feed line.
Due to the oil feed line running close to the exhaust manifold and turbine housing, this will result in a build-up of a baked on carbonised layer on the internal section of the feed line.
This hard deposit material can not be cleaned out effectively by washing or even sand blasting which will result in small particles cracking off during the install procedure.
Garrett explains that on first start up, these particles will be pushed into the turbo chargers bearing system, resulting in failure within seconds and the vehicle will not even make it out to the road from your workshop.
The second way that oil contaminants can enter the turbo is after major engine maintenance where close attention needs to be taken to ensure all oil galleries, supply pipes and oil coolers are thoroughly cleaned and or replaced to stop turbo bearing failure.
Turbo Failure Diagnostics
Before replacing a turbocharger, Garrett says it is important to conduct a thorough diagnostic check of the engine systems and find the root cause of the vehicle’s problems.
A lack of power, noisy operation, excessive smoke or oil consumption could result from a faulty fuel injection system, restricted or blocked air filter, a damaged exhaust system or a lubrication problem.
Also, it recommends that you check the engine crankcase pressure, stating that a higher-than-normal reading can be caused by piston bypass or a blocked breather system, and this requires immediate attention.
The preliminary steps before replacing a turbo are as follows:
A. Question the customer on failure symptoms;
B. Check the vehicle intervention and repair history;
C. Run the vehicle to reproduce claim; and
D. Run the diagnostic equipment as recommended by the car manufacturer; this will allow you to read the error codes of the Engine Control Unit and indicate in which direction to look for the problem.
If the diagnostic check does not uncover any obvious cause, make sure that an extensive trouble shooting analysis is completed on key areas such as foreign objects, lack of lubrication, oil contamination, over-speeding of the turbo and excessive temperature.
This is important because turbo damage can often be a symptom of an underlying problem rather than the cause itself.
Garrett says you should not diagnose turbocharger failure by turbo replacement, as this can be very costly as the replacement turbocharger could be destroyed in seconds if the root cause is not found and rectified.

The Géraldine Banier gallery gathered for this exhibition a ensemble of works using of size distortions. Engagement, corrosive humor or poignant poetry, the highlit on objects chosen by the artists is immediate. You will discover in particular giant lego glasses, an immense totem-lipstick, robots... In opposition to Sisyphus miniatures crushed by flowers, or sculptures of comics in reduced size …
The one does not work without the other one. For a long time in the artistic creation the games of sizes have a leading importance. They give rise to a deployment of technicality which fascinates. From the virtuosity close to the civil engineering in the monumental to the extremely accuracy and patience for a work realized with a magnifying glass.
Our period does not escape it by pushing back the limits of the nanotechnology either by competing in greatness in skyscrapers constructions.
These mechanisms lead a questioning of the order of the world and are widely used in the contemporary art.

A casino online is a virtual gambling environment that is licensed and regulated by the government of the country in which it operates. The games on offer are usually similar to those found in a bricks and mortar establishment, with the major difference being that players can play at any time of day or night and don’t need to leave their home. Some of the best regulated casinos even offer live dealer games.
A big advantage of playing casino online is that you can set your own spending limit and avoid the temptation of being swept away by the excitement of the games and the peer pressure of other gamblers around you. In addition, online casinos often have better pay out rates than their bricks and mortar counterparts due to lower overhead costs.
The gaming options available at a casino online are also very diverse, with a lot of different games to choose from and many offering progressive jackpots. In addition to slots, there are table games such as blackjack and roulette, as well as a number of video poker variants and even sports betting. For those who want to try their hand at something more unique, there is always the option to play a game of baccarat.
When choosing a reputable casino online, make sure it offers a variety of payment methods and accepts your preferred currency. For example, PayPal is a widely accepted e-wallet that allows you to transfer money to and from your regulated casino account quickly and securely. It is also a good idea to check that the casino has a comprehensive FAQ section to answer any questions you might have.

Maybe it’s the excitement of our pending vacation, but after I wrote this post about vacation planning I thought maybe I’d write about actually getting to the point where you’re going on said vacation. When we first thought about going to Rome I always thought it would be just a dream. Like, maybe one day in the distance future I’d get to go. It was way less expensive and easier than I thought it would be.
I know a lot of people that have always been travelers. So I guess to those people it’s easy – you just do it. But I had never left country, and most of my travel in the US was with groups. It was a process for me. What I would recommend:
· Set a goal – I wanted to go to Italy, preferably Rome. I studied Art History in college and I had sat and dreamed of seeing all these ancient landmarks that were still standing. Plus my family is Italian so it just stuck. One year on New Year’s Eve I told Gabe I wanted to make it our goal to book a trip to Italy within the next year. I made it a long time because I felt like it would take us a while to save, so we could have the whole year to save even if we didn’t end up going that year.
· Save up – even if it’s just a little. We scheduled automatic weekly payments to our savings account, and started eating out less. Nothing crazy, we were eating out way too much as it was. I had no problem sacrificing one or two meals out each week in order to get to see Europe.
· Be ready – know about what’s normal for flight prices, hotel prices, etc. This will help you figure out what a good deal is (and what a great deal is). This could be as easy as asking a well-traveled friend, or just use a site to pretend-book a trip for a couple months out.
· Keep an eye out – once we decided to go, I put my feelers out there as many places as possible. We don’t have kids so timing wasn’t a real issue. Several travel websites allow you to sign up for alerts for low airfare. I had emails from Travelocity, Trip Advisor, and Kayak coming in. (We ended up booking via European Destinations which I can’t rave enough about)
We ended up booking a trip in early April (so just 4 months after goal setting) for November, with stops in Paris and Rome. We hadn’t saved up our full amount but we had plenty in savings as a cushion and knew we could “pay ourselves back” in those several months between booking and leaving. Our purchase included airfare and hotels in both cities.
That’s also where my crazy vacation planning came in – it helped pass the time but also space out ticket purchases for the Louvre, the Vatican Museum, etc. Some days I still can’t believe I got to go to those places – they seemed like a total dream for most of life.

Cora Miltimore became the university’s first professionally educated librarian on 1 November 1918. She was hired by university president Albert A. Murphree on the recommendation of R. E. Chandler, an engineering professor and a member of the Library Committee, who had known her when she was a librarian at Oklahoma State University. Miltimore received her B.S. degree from Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College (now Oklahoma A&M University) in 1895 and a library certificate from the University of Iowa in 1906. In addition, she took a special course in government documents at Earlham College in 1909, studied library science at the University of Washington in 1916, and took correspondence courses from the University of Oregon. From 1900 to 1902 she was Assistant Librarian at Oklahoma A&M College and then Librarian there from 1902-1914. She was then Librarian at Pacific University (Fort Grove, Oregon) from 1914-1917. She worked for the federal government in Oklahoma from 1917-1918.
When Miltimore came to the university in 1918 there were less than 500 students and the library had about 20,000 books and 130 periodicals. The library consisted of one room and a small office on the first floor of Peabody Hall, and the library staff consisted of student assistants. There was little seating available and the students often had to sit on the floor. Dr. Enwall taught a psychology class across the hall and allowed its use for seating when he wasn’t using it for class. The academic departments, coordinated by the Library Committee, had charge of the book and periodical budgets.
One reason (perhaps a primary reason) for hiring a professional librarian was a recognized need to develop a professional library, including the planning and building of a library building. In 1923, Miltimore was sent to the University of Michigan to study their modern library building. Upon her return, she worked with the university architects and oversaw the planning and construction of the university’s first library building. This building opened in September 1925, in time for Fall classes. The library collection had reached 40,000 books (most of which were housed in the new Library building) and 285 periodicals, as well as numerous federal and state documents. The Library was constructed in the university’s Tudor-Gothic architecture in order to conform to the other campus buildings. It contained a reference room, reserve reading room and offices. While Miltimore considered this Library to be one of the best in the South, it was only the first unit of the original plan. Due to the high cost of construction, the other units of the original plan (two wings, one for a periodicals reading room and one for a stack room) could not be built.
With a new building, an increasing collection, and a larger staff, 1925/26 was a time for organizational development. Assistant librarian positions had recently been created and the Library was finally organized into departments, starting with the Cataloging, Circulation and Reference Departments. It may have also been around this time that Miltimore?s title evolved from Librarian to University Librarian to distinguish the director from the other librarians. Reports in the early 1930s were from the University Librarian, although the signatures at the end of the reports still had the title Librarian. The library also acquired its first special collection, the donated Rev. Rees W. Edwards Memorial Collection for religion and philosophy (consisting of about 250 volumes).
After several librarian changes at the Agriculture Library, Ida K. Cresap became librarian in 1923, remaining until 1963. During her 40 years as librarian, the collection grew from 2,000 to 500,000 volumes. In addition to her many duties, she found time to create an agricultural classification scheme (a modified version of the scheme used at the time by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Library), compile a Catalog of the Official Publications of the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station and Florida Agricultural Extension Service, 1888-1937 (a publication of the UF Agricultural Experiment Station) and write The History of Florida Agriculture: The Early Era (an unpublished typescript that the Hume Library staff copied and bound in 1982, and the Digital Library has now made available electronically).
A 1925/26 state survey of 33 state university libraries indicated the average dollar amount spent per student on books to be $5.46, but the university was only spending $2.11. In addition, the university had less than one-third the volumes per student as other Florida university libraries. At 24 of these 33 libraries, the librarians were given faculty rank and pay, and Miltimore recommended this privilege be extended to the UF librarians who were Department Heads. Sometime between this recommendation and 1940, the librarians achieved faculty status. Henrie Eddy, Head of the Reference Department (who would become the Acting University Librarian after Miltimore retired) was granted a leave of absence to study at Columbia University, receiving her MS degree in Library Science. By the early 1930s, all members of the Library staff belonged to the Florida Library Association, the Southeastern Library Association, and the American Library Association. They also served on several association committees and attended library conferences.
One of the originally planned wings for the Main Library was finally added in 1931 to serve as a much needed stack area. With a continually growing collection that now housed 60,000 books, the new wing provided a book capacity of 200,000 volumes. Initially the new stack wing was a closed stack area, so a browsing collection of some 1,500 books was placed in the reading room for the benefit of the undergraduates. There was also seating for 750-800 students and carrels for 48 faculty and graduate students. An Exchange Division was created providing an exchange program with other national universities and scientific societies, as well as institutions in France, England and Italy. Participation in a national interlibrary loan program also began, with 62 books borrowed and 18 loaned during 1932-34. Space was made available in 1933 for a Florida Room to house Florida publications and materials, a possible second special collection and a precursor to the Florida History Collection.
In the early 1930s there were library exhibits, while reading lists and bibliographies were prepared for faculty and students. Freshmen were given a series of lectures on library use during their orientation week. In addition, each section of the Freshman English course received an hour of class instruction in library methods. Special instruction courses on library use were also arranged at the request of faculty. The 1930s was a difficult decade for the Library. Although the staff had increased to seven, a Survey of Land Grant Colleges and Universities recommended libraries have a certain number of librarians based on a prescribed staff per student enrollment formula, and this worked out to 17 staff for the university library. This lack of staff at the library was made up for through the use of student assistants.
Book budgets were lagging behind as well. There were drastic cuts in the book budget during the early 1930s as the depression worsened and student enrollment fell. And some of these meager book monies were used to maintain periodical and Florida newspaper subscriptions because during the depression magazine and newspaper publishers printed very few extra copies and it would be too difficult, if not impossible, to catch up with missing issues should these subscriptions be dropped and restarted later on. Fortunately, a number of book and periodical gifts were made to the Library, including many rare books.
To meet the needs of a new General College and Department of Forestry (1934/35), books for the new courses were placed on the open shelves of the Reserve Reading Room and publications were collected from each of the state?s forestry departments. A couple of years later (1937) a separate forestry library was established (which was eventually shifted to the Agriculture Library in 1956). The Library’s depository of current federal government documents housed the only complete collection of these documents in the southernmost states of Alabama, South Carolina and Florida, although the collection had incomplete runs of the earlier documents which the library staff was in the process of obtaining. Florida related publications and materials were increasingly in demand and every effort was made to improve the Florida collection. As part of this effort, the Florida Mapping Authority provided the library with a copy of every map it produced, which greatly added to the small state map collection then in existence.
The continuing lack of book funds was overcome to some extent through donations and exchanges. An attempt was also made to collect all state publications from the five states of the Lower South (normally, only state agriculture publications were collected). Due to the lack of staff and budgets, outside funding was found to carry out a number of routine and special projects. Time was even found to oil all the leather bound books. Staff changes occurred, with two leaving to pursue further studies and one to get married. In addition, Miltimore took six months leave of absence in 1936 due to ill health. Miltimore soon retired for health reasons in October 1937 and moved to Highlands, North Carolina [but spent the winters in Jacksonville, Florida and occasionally in Galveston, San Francisco and Santa Fe – in 1960 she moved to Jacksonville where she remained until her death in 1976].

Born in Guangdong province in southern China in 1857, Chang Toy's father died when Toy was three. This didn't stop Chang Toy from going to school though. He was married as a child - so that his mother could have a servant.
In 1874, Chang came to Canada. Initially, he lived in Victoria before moving to New Westminster where he worked at a sawmill. In 1876, Toy moved to Granville and bought a share in a laundry. He then added a small grocery business and started labour contracting other Hakka speaking Chinese workers.
As the years passed, Chang Toy got involved in more businesses such as charcoal burning, an import and export business, steamship ticket sales and real estate. Originally, the goods were shipped from a more established Victoria merchant, the Wing Chong Company to Chang's business, the Sam Kee Company. Funny thing is that Sam Kee appears to be a totally made up name.
Chang Toy. Photo courtesy of the City of Vancouver archives.
After the Great Fire of 1886, Chang Toy moved to Steveston. But by 1888, he was back in the newly named Vancouver. Retail sales rose steadily and the company also acted as a wholesaler - bringing in goods from Hong Kong then shipping them to other parts of B.C.
In the early 1900s, Sam Kee's store was on the south side of Pender backing onto a much larger False Creek. Sam Kee was also a clearing house for Chinese sending money back to China. By 1908, trade in things such as rice had grown hugely. Chinese sourced rice was shipped mainly to major Vancouver wholesalers like Kelly-Douglas and W H Malkin. On the export side, Hong Kong and later Shanghai had a market for salted fish.
As that trade expanded, Sam Kee made complex relationships with Japanese fishing concerns. When the sources of fish declined, the company made connections in Nanaimo. Sam Kee added a wharf, fish tanks and a saltery. Then Chang Toy's company turned around and leased the area to Japanese companies who supplied the fish Sam Kee exported.
The different traders in Chinatown were rivals but they worked together when needed. In 1893, Alexander Cumyow and Chang Toy pooled their resources to buy property, which they then leased to Wing Sang and other merchants before selling two years later.
I want to thank the website Building Vancouver for the information on Chang Toy. I will tell you more about him on Wednesday.
I hope you find the beauty around you.

A pedal is used constantly in a forest machine, but it lives a rather anonymous life. You expect it to work, but do you expect to love a pedal? Well, the P11 pedal excels and has become a favourite among forest machine operators.
”When we designed our Vimek 870.1 Next Generation, I looked for and tested many pedals,” says Thomas Johansson, CTO at Vimek. ”We needed a wall-mounted pedal to save space in the cabin. When we found the P11 pedal, we were very pleased.”
Vimek is a small company that designs and manufactures small forest machines. It’s situated in the north of Sweden, in Vindeln, close to Umeå, and was established in 1907.
”We built our first forest machine at the end of the 1980s, and our target group was private forest owners who took care of their own forests,” explains Thomas. ”Small machines mean it’s easier to be gentle when you thin out young forests. The machine weighs less and spares the ground, and it’s slim, so it can easily move around the trees.”
Easy to customise
The machine is compact, but the cabin is quite spacious, soundproofed, and has large windows for a better view. It was important to find a wall-mounted pedal for two reasons: better ergonomics and more space.
”I am a tall person; I need space to feel comfortable,” Thomas says. ”Floor-mounted pedals take up too much space, and the angle isn’t optimal for the foot. With the wall-mounted P11, we could decide a perfect angle to make it feel comfortable.”
Vimek also appreciates that Caldaro delivered the pedal with customised connectors, which makes it easy to install. Plus, the price level is reasonable, and everyone knows Caldaro means high quality.
A pedal that makes a difference
They started to test drive machines with the P11 two years ago, and in 2022 they began to sell the compact Vimek 870.1 Next Generation forest machine with the P11 pedal.
In fact, they were so happy with the P11 that they started to use it in three older, updated models as well.
How much difference can a pedal make? Apparently, a whole lot! One of Vimek’s customers was very pleased when he talked to Thomas.
”He actually told us, ”I love that pedal!” which is proof that we made the right choice,” Thomas is pleased to say.
When Claudio Talamo, CEO of Caldaro, heard that, he became delighted and said: ”It’s actually remarkable that an operator even takes notice of a pedal! It shows that it pays off to care about ergonomics, function and design.”
