Dalmatians are a unique breed, not only in looks, but in intelligence and character too. They are known the world over for their distinctive looks and beautifully spotted coats which is just one of the reasons they have remained extremely popular companions and family pets throughout the years. They were originally bred to run alongside carriages which included horse-drawn fire engines, earning themselves the name of Firehouse Dogs.
Dalmatians have a tremendous amount of stamina, they are active, muscular, strong dogs and they like nothing more than to be given lots of exercise and mental stimulation as such they excel at all sorts of canine sports. They have very loving personalities but they are also known to be natural watchdogs. Outgoing, confident and extremely loyal, a Dalmatian forms a strong tie with an owner and therefore hate being on their own for any length of time. A Dalmatian is the perfect choice for people who lead busy outdoor lives and who live in the country, but they also do well living in town providing their owners have nice, big secure gardens for them to roam around in as much as possible so dogs can really let off steam in a safe environment.
Dalmatians have a fascinating history with the first thing being about the breed being how they came about their name. It is thought that the name could derive from hounds that existed centuries ago called Dama-chien or from a coronation mantle that people wore called a dalmaticus, but neither have ever been confirmed. What is known is that dogs with black spots in their coats were around as far back as the 18th Century.
With this said, it is thought that Dalmatians are one of the most ancient breeds on the planet with evidence of them having been found on Greek friezes and tablets that date back 2000 BC in which dogs are depicted running alongside chariots in Ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece. Records have also been found of these dogs in Dalmatia, a region of Croatia which could be how the breed earned their name too.
It is thought that the breed found its way to other regions of Europe because they travelled with gypsies throughout the Mediterranean. However, the dogs we see today were bred and developed by English nobility during the 19th Century and they were bred to run alongside carriages and thanks to their tremendous stamina and endurance, they were also used for hunting too.
Over the years, these striking dogs have been given many jobs and this includes being used to herd sheep, hunt, perform in the circus, pull carts and as previously mentioned to run alongside coaches. They also became popular with fire departments with Dalmatians running ahead of the horse drawn fire trucks making sure the way ahead was clear.
Today, Dalmatians remain a popular choice with people who live in the country and who own horses because of the breed's affinity with their equine counterparts. They are also often seen in Field Trials where they show off the natural abilities as working dogs, but they are also a popular choice in other parts of the world, thanks a Dalmatian's kind nature and their wonderful spotted coats. Most English lines of the breed are bred with Scandinavian bloodlines which has improved the breed both in appearance and where health matters are concerned.
The Dalmatian must be among one of the most recognised breeds on the planet not only because of their beautiful spotted coats, but thanks to the movie 101 Dalmatians too. They are very proud, elegant dogs that boast a tremendous amount of stamina as well as good turn of speed when needed.
They boast a longish, flat head with a reasonable amount of width between their ears. They have a distinct stop and powerful muzzle with clean lips and a black nose although dogs with liver coats have brown noses. Their eyes are set nicely apart and are medium in size with dogs always showing an intelligent expression. Eyes are dark brown in black spotted Dalmatians, but they are amber in colour in liver spotted dogs. Their rims are well pigmented with black spotted dogs having black pigmented rims and liver spotted Dalmatians having liver brown ones.
Their ears are moderately large and set high and wide on a dog's head and they gently taper to a rounded point. Ears are fine to the touch and dogs carry them close to their heads. A Dalmatian's ears are well spotted which adds to their charming appearance. Their jaws are strong with dogs boasting a perfect scissor bite where they upper teeth neatly overlap their lower ones.
Their necks are fairly long, light and a dog's shoulders are muscular and well laid back. Front legs are straight with dog's having a good amount of bone from their elbows right down to their feet. Dalmatians have nicely proportioned bodies with deep chests and well sprung ribs. Their withers are well defined and they boast level, powerful backs and strong, muscular slightly arched loins. Hindquarters are well muscled with dog's boasting a nicely developed second thigh and strong back legs.
Their feet are compact and round with toes that are well arched and very cat-like. Their nails can be either black or white when a dog's coat is spotted black. However, liver spotted dogs boast brown or white nails. Dalmatians have quite long, spotted tails that are thicker at the base but taper to the tip which dogs carry with a slight curve.
Dogs have well defined spots that are well distributed over their entire bodies which includes on their ears and tails.
When a Dalmatian moves they do so smoothly with a powerful long stride covering a lot of ground with the greatest of ease. When seen from the front or back, their legs look like they are straight with a dog's feet moving along a straight line which sees front legs tracking their back legs.
The Kennel Club frowns on any exaggerations or departures from the breed standard and would judge faults on how much they affect a dog's overall health and wellbeing as well as their ability to perform.
Male Dalmatians should have both testicles fully descended into their scrotums and it is worth noting that dogs can be a little taller or shorter as well as slightly heavier or lighter than set out in the breed standard which is given as a guideline only.
Dalmatians mature slowly and don't really reach full maturity until they are anything from 12 to 15 months old. Males tend to be that much heavier, taller and therefore stronger than their female counterparts. Females are known to be a bit moody at times whereas males tend to be more stable. With this said, male Dalmatian can show a more dominant side to their natures more especially when they meet other male dogs whereas females tend to get on with everyone and everything although they do make natural watchdogs and will protect their families and property without being aggressive in the way they go about it.
In general, Dalmatians are friendly, confident and outgoing. Rarely would a dog show any sort of aggressive behaviour more especially if they are well-bred and have been nicely socialised right from the word go. The Dalmatian is a good choice for first time owners providing they are prepared to give an active, highly intelligent canine companion the correct amount of physical exercise and mental stimulation to keep them happy.
Although originally bred as working dogs whether in a hunting environment or as a carriage dog, over the years the Dalmatian has become a firm favourite both in the show ring, as a family pet and companion. They are active dogs and like nothing more than to be kept busy, but there is a bit of a downside to this because Dalmatians form very strong bonds with their owners which can lead to them developing separation anxiety when left on their own. As such, they are not a good choice for people who spend most of the day out of the house leaving their pets alone. Ideally, these dogs need to be in a family where at least one of the household stays at home during the day when everyone else is out of the house. Another alternative is to have another dog and preferably another Dalmatian so they keep each other company.
It's important for these dogs to be well socialised from a young age and to be introduced to as many new situations, people and other animals as possible for them to grow up to be well-rounded, confident adult dogs. They also benefit from being enrolled into obedience classes when young which helps these dogs understand their place in the pack and who is alpha dog in a household. They can be a little wary around strangers, but once they get to know someone they generally get a lot friendlier towards them.
Dalmatians are highly intelligent and pick things up quickly with the downside being they pick up bad habits just as fast, so it's essential for the education to start early and for it to be consistent and fair throughout a dog's life so they understand what an owner expects of them and the ground rules that have been set.
Dalmatians are a good choice for first time dog owners because they are so amenable to learning new things and love nothing more than to please. However, they are not suited to households where everyone is out which means they are left on their own for any length of time. The reason being is that Dalmatians are extremely people-oriented and hate it when they are left on their own.
Although originally bred to hunt, the modern Dalmatian does not have a very high prey drive although some dogs just cannot resist chasing a rabbit or a neighbour's cat when the chance arises. A well-bred and nicely trained Dalmatian however, can be trusted to walk off the lead and still stay well-behaved around other animals providing they respond well to the recall command.
Dalmatians have a real sense of humour and love nothing more than to entertain and be entertained. As previously mentioned, they mature slowly and remain very playful well into the senior years. They enjoy playing interactive games and enjoy the company of slightly older children rather than toddlers more especially as playtime often gets a bit boisterous.
Dalmatians are better suited to people who have large, secure back gardens a dog can roam around in whenever possible and would not be happy living in an apartment. They are energetic, active and intelligent which means they must be kept busy both mentally and physically to be truly happy dogs.
As previously touched upon, Dalmatians thrive on being around people and suffer from separation anxiety when they are not. They should never be left to their own devices for any longer than 2 to 3 hours otherwise they might start being destructive around the home which is their way of showing just how unhappy they are about things.
Dalmatians are not known to be a breed that barks excessively. However, an unhappy dog might start barking just to get attention which includes when they are left on their own for too long.
Some Dalmatians really enjoy swimming and will take to water whenever they can whereas others don't even like getting their feet wet and will even object to going out in the rain. Anyone sharing a home with a dog that loves swimming should always take extra care when walking their pets off the lead near more dangerous watercourses just in case they decide to leap in and need rescuing.
Dalmatians are natural watchdogs although they tend to love everyone, more especially if they have been well bred. A badly bred Dalmatian may well end up being timid and shy around people, but a well-bred dog would be outgoing and confident. With this said, males tend to be a little more protective than their female counterparts, but both will quickly let an owner know when they are strangers around or if something they don't like is going on in their environment.
Dalmatians being so intelligent are easy to train, but they can be a little strong willed when the mood takes them. As such, they need to be show patience and given enough time bearing in mind that Dalmatians only really mature when they are anything from 12 to 15 months old. The good news is that a Dalmatian would do anything for a high value treat making sure not to give a dog too many at any one time.
With this said, if these dogs are not given the right sort of direction, they are also quick to pick up bad habits which is why they need to be trained with a gentle, yet firm hand. Another thing to bear in mind is that males tend to show a bit more of a dominant side to their character than their female counterparts. Dalmatians are often seen taking part in many canine sporting activities which includes Flyball, agility and obedience to name but three and which they are known to excel at.
Dalmatians are very kind dogs by nature and seem to have an affinity with children although it would be fair to say they are better suited to households where the kids are that much older rather toddlers. They are confident, outgoing characters with puppies and younger dogs tending to be a little more boisterous than older dogs. It takes about two years for young Dalmatians to settle and become less energetic, bearing in mind that they don't really mature until they are anything from 12 to 15 months old. With this said, any interaction between the kids and a dog should be supervised by an adult to make sure things stay calm and nobody gets knocked over and hurt, even by accident.
These dogs rarely show any sort of aggression towards other dogs, pets or animals especially if they have been well socialised from a young age and they have grown up with them although male Dalmatians tend to want to dominate other male dogs. With this said, care needs to be taken when a Dalmatian meets an unfamiliar cat because they will want to chase them although if they grow up with a cat in the home, they generally get on well together.
The average life expectancy of a Dalmatian is between 10 and 13 years when properly cared for and fed an appropriate good quality diet to suit their ages.
Dalmatians thanks to their white coats are predisposed to suffering from impaired hearing and deafness in either one or both of their ears. Fortunately, dogs can be tested and the scheme has established that around 1 in 12 Dalmatians are totally deaf in both of their ears. Prospective owners should make sure that any puppies they are thinking of buying have hearing in one ear and that they are not deaf in both.
Dalmatian puppies can undergo a BAER test once they are 6 months old which would confirm if they are deaf or not and all responsible breeders would ensure their stud dogs are tested before being used for breeding purposes.
Seizures can be caused by many things which includes an underlying health issue. However, epilepsy can be an inherited disorder too and although most episodes do not result in any sort of brain damage, it can be extremely worrying when a dog has a fit for the first time. When the condition is inherited, it is referred to as being idiopathic epilepsy. Most of the time the fits only last a short time and dogs although confused do come around and will start acting normally.
However, they can happen in "clusters" and this can result in uncontrollable, continuous seizures which are exhausting for a dog to have to experience and if not seen by a vet as a matter of urgency, it can lead to brain damage and then death.
Dogs usually have their first seizure when they have inherited idiopathic epilepsy when they are anything from 1 to 5 years old. Females when they come into season may also experience more seizures because of the increased level of estrogen in their systems.
Once a dog has been examined and treated by a vet, their condition can be managed and controlled with most Dalmatians going on to lead full and active lives.
Some dogs don't show any signs of there being a problem until their bladder wall becomes inflamed and painful which leads to a constant need to urinate and when they do there is blood in their urine which are typical signs of cystitis. Should the crystals form in a dog's urethra, it often causes a blockage in the tube and dogs have trouble urinating. If urine is retained, it can negatively impact a dog's kidneys. Should a dog's bladder become distended and the wall bursts it can lead to them suffering from internal peritonitis.
A lot of vets now prefer to wait until a dog is a little more mature before they are spayed or neutered. They therefore, recommend waiting until dogs are 6 to 9 months old before they undergo the procedures. Other vets advise neutering and spaying a dog when they are 6 months old, but never any younger unless there is a medical reason for doing so.
Some Dalmatians put on weight after having been spayed or neutered and it's important to keep a close eye on their waistlines and to adjust their calorie intake and the amount of physical daily exercise they are given. Older dogs too are prone to put on weight and again it's important to adjust the amount of food they are fed every day to prevent them from gaining too many pounds. Obesity can seriously and negatively impact a dog's overall health and can even shorten their lives by several years.
Dalmatians are prone to suffering from a condition known as "hives" which sees dogs developing bumps on specific areas of their bodies. The condition can be triggered by an allergic reaction or sensitivity to something. Urticaria or hives can be treated once the underlying trigger is established by a vet. Dogs suffering from the condition can in the meantime be made to feel more comfortable until the trigger is established. All too often in Dalmatians this can be due to a flea bite with the problem being localised to a specific area.
Apart from the standard breeding restrictions, studies have established that 2 liver spotted Dalmatians when bred do not produce puppies with black spots. As such, the Kennel Club only liver spotted puppies can be registered if they are the offspring of 2 liver spotted parent dogs.
As with any other breed, Dalmatians need to be groomed on a regular basis to make sure their coats and skin are kept in top condition bearing in mind that the breed is very predisposed to suffering from hives. They also need to be given regular daily exercise to ensure they remain fit and healthy. On top of this, they need to be fed good quality food that meets all their nutritional needs throughout their lives.
Dalmatian puppies are boisterous and full of life which means it's essential for homes and gardens to be puppy-proofed well in advance of their arrival. A responsible breeder would have well socialised their puppies which always leads to more outgoing, confident and friendly dogs right from the word go. With this said, any puppy is going to feel vulnerable when they leave their mother and littermates which must be taken into account. The longer a puppy can remain with their mother, the better although it should never be for too long either.
All puppies are sensitive to noise including Dalmatian puppies. It's important to keep the noise levels down when a new puppy arrives in the home. TVs and music should not be played too loud which could end up stressing a small puppy out.
What about older Dalmatians when they reach their senior years?
Living with a Dalmatian in their golden years means taking on a few more responsibilities, but these are easily managed and should include rethinking their diet, the amount of exercise they are given, how often their dog beds need changing and keeping an eye on the condition of their teeth.
Older Dalmatians don't need to be given the same amount of daily exercise as a younger dog, but they still need the right amount of physical activity to maintain muscle tone and to prevent a dog from putting on too much weight. All dogs need access to fresh clean water and this is especially true of older dogs when they reach their golden years because they are more at risk of developing kidney disorders.
Dalmatians have short coats and therefore should be low maintenance in the grooming department. However, they are known to shed copiously throughout the year which means they really do need to be brushed once a day using a grooming glove to keep loose and dead hair from being left everywhere around the home. With this said, because Dalmatians are known to suffer from skin allergies, care should be taken as to what sort of products are used on their coats to keep them in good condition and this includes using a special dog-specific shampoo when they need bathing.
Being very active dogs by nature, Dalmatians need to be given the right amount of daily exercise which includes enough mental stimulation for them to be truly happy, well-rounded dogs. It would be hard to over-exercise one of these dogs given their stamina, but with this said a minimum of two hours a day would be acceptable. It is also best to take a dog out for a walk twice a day, once in the morning and then again in the afternoon making sure they are given a lot of mental stimulation throughout the day.
With this said, young Dalmatian puppies should not be given too much exercise because their joints and bones are still growing and too much pressure on them could result in causing a dog a few problems later in their lives. If possible, puppies should be allowed to play outside in a garden for around 15 to 20 minutes a few times a day which should be enough to keep them fit and happy. It's also a great time and place to start a young Dalmatian's education.
If you get a Dalmatian puppy from a breeder, they would give you a feeding schedule and it's important to stick to the same routine, feeding the same puppy food to avoid any tummy upsets. You can change a puppy's diet, but this needs to be done very gradually always making sure they don't develop any digestive upsets and if they do, it's best to put them back on their original diet and to discuss things with the vet before attempting to change it again.
Once a puppy is 14 months old they can be fed adult dog food.
If you are looking to buy a Dalmatian, you would need to pay anything from £500 to over £650 for a well-bred pedigree puppy. The cost of insuring a male 3-year-old Dalmatian in northern England would be £22.07 a month for basic cover but for a lifetime policy, this would set you back £47.19 a month (quote as of September 2017). When insurance companies calculate a pet's premium, they factor in several things which includes where you live in the UK and a dog's age and whether they have been neutered or spayed.
When it comes to food costs, you need to buy the best quality food whether wet or dry, to feed your dog throughout their lives making sure it suits the different stages of their lives. This would set you back between £40 - £60 a month. On top of this, you would need to factor in veterinary costs if you want to share your home with a Dalmatian and this includes their initial vaccinations, their annual boosters, the cost of neutering or spaying your dog when the time is right and then their yearly health checks, all of which quickly adds up to over a £1000 a year.
As a rough guide, the average cost to keep and care for a Dalmatian would be between £80 to £120 a month depending on the level of insurance cover you opt to buy for your dog, but this does not include the initial cost of buying a well-bred pedigree puppy.
Beware of online scams and how to avoid them. You may see online and other adverts by scammers showing images of beautiful Dalmatian puppies for sale at very low prices. However, the sellers ask buyers for money up front before agreeing to deliver a puppy to a new home. Potential buyers should never buy a puppy unseen and should never pay a deposit or any other money online to a seller. You should always visit the pet at the sellers home to confirm they are genuine and make a note of their address.

Most organisations I speak to say: we can't deliver stuff fast enough.
But when we work with their teams we cut delivery time (drastically), even though we spend more time on some activities.
Telling people 'work faster' is bad. They stop playing as a team. They get stressed and make mistakes. They trip over each other.
Instead, we coach teams to work together smoothly. It works for medical teams, Formula 1 pit crews, and our digital teams.
If teams are trying to make sense of competing agendas and messages as they work, they get pulled out of shape and waste time.
We invest time helping stakeholders align and speak with one voice. Not easy, but it pays for itself many times over.
Most annual planning activities are a beauty contest for projects. That's a problem.
The sense of scarcity undermines cooperation. People inflate scope (increasing risk). They write business cases before the facts are clear (more risk).
But you still need to manage your programme and hit your targets.
So we work with managers to create roadmaps that continually improve performance and reduce risk.
Don't ask: when will it be ready?
Ask: is this the best way to deliver value this release?
That focusses your team's attention, makes them think about alternatives, and invites creativity.
Smart, focussed teams get results faster.
Most of these require orgs to do things that are counter-intuitive. Fixing them isn't easy. And there are many tactics to make those changes.
Bottom line: those four things always make a difference.
Welcome to Snow Leopard Ward @EvelinaLondon!
Tesla in Europe is a company in disarray.
Forum posts are packed with angry complaints and weird stories.
This week, I will be summing up incredible posts from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France.
Today: A summary and some sample posts.
a) Tesla insists that everyone pays at least 7 days in advance. So people have to wire the money before they see the car, for a payment of up to 79,800€ !
It does seem unfair to start #BD969 with a bunch of songs (from the soundtrack of the Scorsese doc No Direction Home) that would be of no interest to anyone if the person recording them hadn't gone on to become Bob Dylan. But there is something cool going on here.
So, this afternoon, around 3:00 Eastern, I'm going to start digging into Trump's campaign rally speech from Michigan. Go ahead and like/bookmark this tweet if you don't want to miss it.
...okay, I know this risks the news cycle utterly blowing up over something else, but I'm pushing back my Michigan speech coverage a day. It's that long and that bananas. I'm going to need more time to delve.
Every day next few days I'll share one #depression/#anxiety insight from my own experience. If it helps anyone a wee bit, it'll be worth it.
1. "#Happiness" can scare #anxiety patients. In our heads, things are always going wrong. Fear of a "happy" moment undone is doubly painful.
Sorry, this won't be a daily affair as I had earlier imagined. But here's insight #2 based on my brush with #depression/#anxiety.

Q: How to connect to the internet, via a bluetooth access point, from command line The question may seem highly specific, but I didn't seem any answer anywhere.
Accessing the internet via a bluetooth access point sounds like an odd choice, but I believe it's the right one in my case, where a very small machine with a small battery running debian, should be able to connect to the internet every time once in a while at a low battery cost.
I have, at my disposal, android and ios devices that are able to share an internet connection via bluetooth.
My own device has a micro controller that also has a bluetooth chip.
It can normally scan devices, pair to them, and connect to them via bluetooth (done using bluetoothctl), but I couldn't find how to establish an internet connection via a BT device I am connected to.
In fact I don't even know how to test it: can I just leave the bluetoothctl prompt and ping google? Is that even a thing that can be done, provided an internet connection was established?
Thanks in advance.

Increased investment in Mediterranean rail
Written by Frédéric Dubessy on Tuesday, December 11th 2012 à 14:34 | Read 2616 times
In the space of a year, the EIB has agreed more than €1bn of loans for rail related public transport projects (trams, trains, and subways) in Mediterranean countries.
MEDITERRANEAN. With the need for sustainability, rail is back as a force in the Mediterranean. In 2012, funding for projects on high speed rail, subway and trams has kept on coming. In ten years, the European Investment Bank has dedicated a budget of €23.7bn in the EU with €4bn in France. But these activities go well beyond the EU. Over the past twelve months, commitment to rail transport projects in the countries bordering the Mediterranean has passed the €1bn mark.
In December 2012 the French region of Lorraine launched the second phase of its LGV East project that will make Paris 1 hour and 50 minutes away from Strasbourg, thus cutting the journey time by 30 minutes. This 106km high speed section (in Moselle and Bas-Rhin) forms part of the larger LGV Est européenne project (406 km between Paris and Vendenheim in the Bas-Rhin). Since 10 June 2007, the first phase has already developed the use of 300 km of new lines.
Three months before the launch of the second phase, on the other side of France, LGV Bretagne Pays de la Loire - an extension of the western branch of the LGV Sud-Europe Atlantique - received its first funding. Connecting Le Mans to Rennes, and with a length of 182 km with an additional existing connecting section of 32 km, LGV Bretagne Pays de la Loire will begin service in May 2017 (delivery in September 2016).
Trams appeal to Mediterraneans

Subway projects are also continuing, such as the extension of 17.7 km of line 3 in Cairo. The Egyptian capital's network has received a €600m loan for a 25 year period (at a total cost of €940m) granted by the EIB (€200m million agreed on 14 November 2012) and the AFD (French Development Agency).
Other subways are seeking to expand their rail networks such as that of Athens which is extending its Line 3 to the district of Piraeus and that of Rome, which will gain 1.1km in length on its line B and acquire 15 new trains.
Trams, though, remain the most popular type of rail transport. This silent and non-polluting mode of transport is attracting more and more Mediterraneans. Morocco (inaugurated in Rabat in 2011 and Casablanca in 2012), Algeria (the Algiers network expansion, the opening in 2013 of the first networks in Oran and Constantine, and projects in Sidi Bel Abbes, Mostaganem, Ouargla, Sétif, Annaba Batna) and Tunisia (new trains delivered to Tunis in 2012 ) are making trams a public transport priority.
France is also following this movement. Tours, Le Havre and Besançon are building their first tram networks; Orleans will build a second line and Montpellier will launch its fifth, sixth and seventh. This is on top of the €447m invested by Ile de France for new lines with the aid of the EIB.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Sens. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) have introduced the Innovative Materials for America's Growth and Infrastructure Newly Expanded (IMAGINE) Act, to encourage research and deployment of innovative construction materials in transportation and water infrastructure projects nationwide. Investing in these new techniques and materials would help to extend the life of critical public works that draw increasingly poor ratings for condition and performance.
The IMAGINE Act would encourage the development of materials such as high performance asphalt mixtures and concrete formulations, geo-synthetic materials, advanced alloys and metals, reinforced polymer composites, aggregate materials and advanced polymers.
A range of stakeholders from innovative materials industries cheered introduction of the bill. The American Chemistry Council, the American Coatings Association, the American Composites Manufacturers Association, the Geosynthetic Materials Association, LafargeHolcim, the National Asphalt Pavement Association, the Owens Corning Plastics Industry Association and the Vinyl Institute welcomed introduction of the bill in a letter to the senators sent this week.
Representatives Elizabeth Esty (D-CT), David Cicilline (D-RI) and Barbara Comstock (R-VA) will introduced companion legislation in the House on Friday.


Create a bigger risk than if it wasn't required especially if you're a high-risk pool at work. For that reason it will be, while not ignoring other monthly expenses. It's an attempt at staying competitive amidst the fact that there are many types of vehicles. Encouragement and persistent reminders of things would shift. If you have other insurance policies for young drivers, who demonstrate that they are supposed to and limit your conversation and verbage.

Cloud Cuckoo Land is one of the Lego worlds that Emmet and Wyldstyle visit in The Lego Movie. It's full of rainbows, creativeness, happiness and positivity and is a place where you can do whatever you want whenever you want! The Cloud Cuckoo Palace set brings to life this very fun scene from the movie with a very whimsical design and bright pastel colours. This set has one of the most eye catching box art in The Lego Movie line due to the unique bright colours. Plus, your eye is drawn immediately to Unikitty!
You get 4 minifigures in this set or 5 if you include the snail: Emmet, Unikitty, Wyldstyle and Executron. Because Emmet and Wyldstyle are the main characters of The Lego Movie, they appear in a majority of the sets. There are slight variations to the figures to make them unique to this set though. Let's have a closer look.
Wyldstyle comes with two faces, one smiling and one fierce looking. The body pieces are the same as found in other sets, but her hoodie is flipped down. The hood part of her shirt comes as soft piece. The leg and arm are both printed on the right side.
With Emmet, you get the same body and legs as you see in other sets. The only difference is his printed face, again it is double sided - one of him smiling and the other of him scared. On his back he is carrying the piece of resistance and has a tracker attached to his leg.
The Executron is one of Lord Business' robots and he has comes in a dapper black suit with a robot head. His accessory is handcuffs.
There are different variations of Unikitty, but normal looking one only appears in this set which will increase the value of this set as I believe the Unikitty minifigure is quite sought after. The tail is a unique piece, as is the anime style face which is printed on the brick.
This snail is not advertised as a minifigure, but I will include it because it's just so darn cute!
There are some other unique and printed pieces included in this set, among a good collection of interesting bright colours (reminiscent of Friends).
Cloud Cuckoo Palace was a relatively easy and fun build. It is certainly a very unique design and looks so crazy that it works! The parts were seperated in to four seperate bags, each containing different sizes of bricks. You need to open all the bags in order to start building. Lego has also split apart the different sections of the minifigures, which I'm glad to see as this makes theft harder! The parts were very easy to find when you pour out the individual bags into their own pile.
You start off by buildilng the flower catapault, which acts as a flick launcher for the flowers.
Here's a look at the different layers of the build. The wheels on the top left hand corner is mounted on gears so they spin, which adds to the playability.
A final look at the finished build. The sun is mounted on a clear stick that can move from left to right, making the sun go up and down.
At a price point of $19.99 USD and $24.99 CAD, this is a great set to grab especially if you can it on sale. The Unikitty minifigure alone will propel the worth of this set. Robot army builders will also be looking for executron minifigures. The value of the minifigures as well as the interesting pieces and colours makes this set worth getting. Cloud Cuckoo Palace is a great set to part out as well due to the exclusivity of normal Unikitty.
The Lego Movie is extremely popular in theatres and that can only lead to more kids and their parents buying the Lego sets related to the movie. Cloud Cuckoo Palace is the most popular set of the line, being affordable in the mid-range sized sets and very eye catching. The fact that it currently sold out everywhere should be a sign for you to jump on it if you see one! The only reason I give the theme popularity a 7 is because I am not sure if the hype of The Lego Movie (and the seequel) will continue forever.
This set was released in 2014 and is still currently available, though is on back order at many stores. At $19.99, it is cheap, available everywhere and is easily accessible to consumers.
The box art is certainly eye catching with the bright colours. The back of the box shows the two playability functions with the flower catapult and the rotating discs.
It is difficult to tell if the popularity of The Lego Movie will last, but with a sequel to the movie already planned, I'm betting my money on this set doing well as people watch the sequel and realize they don't have the initial line of The Lego Movie sets. Given that this is a very affordable set, most likely kids are buying and and the sets are opened and played with. Many people are having success doubling or tripling their money by parting out the minifgures already. Tuck one or two away sealed in box, you won't regret it!
With another movie coming out, Lego will increase in popularity and more Lego fans will want the sets from the original Lego Movie line. The movie is doing extremely well and Cloud Cuckoo Palace has been sold out in stores with the movie only in its second week in theatres.
This set is affordable and won't be hard to find below full retail price eventually. Parting out the minifigures already returns more than the full value of the set so picking up this set is a must. It contains two unique minifigures, with the other two having unique parts. There is already a great demand for this set with the empty shelves in stores as proof. I am sure this set will do well after EOL, so grab one today!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- If you set aside Byron Nelson's assembly line of victories in 1945 -- 11 straight and 18 overall -- of all the other records in professional golf, Hale Irwin's 45 career victories on the Champions Tour is arguably the most out of reach.
That's why Irwin, who tees off late this afternoon in the first round of the Senior PGA Championship at Valhalla GC, is, a week before his 66th birthday, still a compelling character on the senior scene.
Irwin has 16 more triumphs than the next-biggest winner in Champions Tour history, Lee Trevino. Of players who are in their 50s with a chance to add to their victory totals, Bernhard Langer (53) and Jay Haas (57) have 14 wins apiece. That's a long way from 45.
There were some things in Irwin's favor when he joined the Champions Tour in 1995, including a larger calendar of tournaments to choose from (although he never played a chock-full schedule). After he turned 50, he didn't double-dip much on the PGA Tour as golfers have in recent years. He stayed fit and healthy and hungry to win.
His competitive desire is why Irwin is still plugging away in 2011 and why, at 65, he has three top-10 finishes this season after having only two over the previous three seasons. He knows a victory at this point -- which would give him another record, that of oldest winner on the Champions Tour, surpassing Mike Fetchick's long-standing mark of age 63 -- would be a very long shot but not something that couldn't be done.
"I feel somewhat encouraged about the way I have been striking the ball," Irwin said. "I have had some better finishes, and that gives me some encouragement that I still can do it. It's just a matter now of believing that I can do it and really trying to keep it simple."
But the increased confidence coexists with a realization that he won't be able to keep doing it forever. "I think there is a sense of there is going to be an end," Irwin said. "Whether it's a tapering off or whether it's the cliff, I don't know. But I do know that I still enjoy the competition, I still enjoy going out and playing and playing against the young guys as they come out on the tour."
Sam Snead and Gary Player rightly are praised for their extraordinary longevity on the course. At a championship Irwin has won four times, including the last time it was at Valhalla in -- second only to Snead's six wins -- it is appropriate to acknowledge what Irwin has done and appreciate that he is still in the arena. When Irwin's senior career is over, whenever that happens, it will be the end of an era.
