A freelance writing career is not a cushy job as you would expect.
While there are perks and advantages that come into freelancing such as working at home, having more time for yourself, and avoiding traffic and public transportation – among other things  – freelance writing is just as brutal as any career out there. Making a time for yourself by getting even a single work printed at The New Yorker and other legacy publications is a very steep hill to climb.
Read this compelling piece at The Huffington Post on how publications have provided more opportunities for freelance writers and also the risks that freelancers have to take in order to get the job done.
But before you start writing for The New Yorker, you may want to build up your writing career first by applying for the blogging jobs below.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY - noir by david cliff - The headline says it all, when do you EVER get the opportunity to own a home like this that has stayed in the current family for over almost 45 years.
When Kate asked to meet me her here I was driving over trying to picture what I was about to see and was nowhere near what actually greeted me when I arrived.
The initial entrance has you thinking that you are about to simply drive into a field but this is merely the start of an impressive sweeping journey to this secluded spot. As you get closer and see the pond to your left you can see Ashridgewood Place for the first time and it looks like something you`d expect in a period drama, elegant , impressive and you literally can`t wait to see what it is truly all about.
The idea of doing the traditional chat about this property, room by room, out building by outbuilding would simply leave you the viewer gasping for a break, it`s vast, so I think an overview here together with the extensive floor plans and photography will then lead you to decide if you would like us to take you for a closer look.
The main house is as good looking as you would hope and whilst this is very much to be purchased with a project in mind you have some flexibility as to what you would do and when so you have options. With significant land, coach house and outbuildings you really can create your own vision.
The double height reception hall is quite jaw dropping in both size and style, this is where you also see the huge ceiling heights that follow throughout. It sets the scene beautifully and takes you through to the five reception areas and family kitchen/ breakfast room. You can also access the lower ground floor cellar from this area, traditional wine cellar would be great or easy access storage.
The main drawing room is slightly irregular in shape but in a good way and extends to 30ft in width, triple aspect with lovely bay window and open fireplace as you would expect.
I`ve changed my mind two or three times as to what I would do here, there are further snug, study and living areas which actually feel very modern in layout whilst still being very traditional in look so you can go one of two ways.
The kitchen/ family space has turned full circle over the years and is now the heart of the home again, here at Ashridgewood Place you have a light and bright 22ft by 17ft kitchen which even without changes would accommodate the role beautifully, again do remember that the incredible ceiling heights increase the feel of space so much more.
Moving up the period staircase you have five impressive single, dual and triple aspect bedrooms. The triple aspect master is simply vast, it basically mirrors the drawing room below but you now realise why the drawing room had the `irregular` shape to one end, it creates the balcony for the bedroom which gives the most incredible far reaching views and allows the light to pour in. This will seem a strange thing to say but I don`t think I`ve ever seen so much `sky` you`ll see what I mean when you come here.
You have the en suite bathroom with room for full bath and separate shower along with some built in storage, all in all this will be an amazing master suite.
Depending on whether you determine bedroom two by size or facilities will determine where to take you next. The second bedroom here has a huge walk-in dressing room.... crying out to be an en suite in my humble opinion but with storage. Bedroom three would then be to the front with huge bay window and again over 16ft by13ft so hardly a compromise and room to make additions to give more of a `suite` feel. With four and five to the rear and able to be connected or not you really can have this working for you.
Ok so this is where things get even more interesting, the numerous outbuildings and the potential they offer.
THE COACH HOUSE; is attached (bonus) to the right hand side and offers some incredible potential with brick built stables and storage areas also attached..... It really is quite exciting what you could do here and thought should be given. Whether you convert what is here to incorporate within the main house, create annexe style living or indeed look to trade the space and add elsewhere the options are there.
GARAGING & STORAGE; is also plentiful, the large main garage has a large first floor loft room area with then further storage and workshop areas attached extending over 50ft so really substantial. This, like the Coach House, is true period in its look and style and offers so much scope and potential for you.
DUTCH BARN; we`re not done yet, this is a building in its own right I feel.... how many properties do you find now with a Dutch barn as part of the offering. Whilst needing substantial work its` here and gives even more options for you apart from being a potentially stunning building.
STABLES; there are four further Stables in a separate block to add into the mix, again in need of repair but they are there.
GENERAL OUTBUILDINGS; these consist of the following, Tractor shed, Potting shed, Bike shed and a Shelter.
OVERALL PLOT; this is quite staggering and really helps to not only set this apart from anything else but also allows the property to grow, increase in value or even be converted into multiple units (subject to planning).
The overall acreage is appx 3 acres and begins with the most incredible frontage that truly sets the scene. The grounds then continue to all sides, surrounding this elegant home and its outbuildings to give you your very own piece of the countryside surrounded by wildlife and open fields.

The Assessments Program
The Assessments Program addresses the goals of NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), which prioritizes studies and assessments that "synthesize scientific knowledge of Earth systems into tools for decision making and future research, often using observational data, model output, experimental results, and other research as source material."
The Assessments Program, an effort led by the Climate Program Office, aims to improve our ability to understand, assess, anticipate, and respond to the impacts and vulnerabilities associated with environmental change in the United States. The Program supports climate assessments at national and regional scales based on cutting-edge science, connects research institutions and activities from various regions and sectors, and creates networks of scientists and decision makers. Scientific assessments survey and synthesize science, highlight key information to support policy decisions, and track progress by identifying changes in Earth's conditions and advances in science.
Funding from the Assessments Program supports efforts towards the development of the National Climate Assessments and sustained assessment process. The quadrennial National Climate Assessment (NCA) is mandated by the 1990 Global Change Research Act, charging the National Science and Technology Council to prepare an assessment every four years that integrates the findings of the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), and to deliver that assessment to the Executive and Legislative branches. These assessments integrate and summarize current and anticipated climate change impacts on the United States to help inform decision making that will impact America's' future. To enhance the value and production of these assessments, a sustained process is being implemented to keep the assessments community engaged between reports and to continuously synthesize new data and information. The Assessments program secured and organized NOAA's leadership of the Fourth National Climate Assessment. NOAA leads the technical production of the report and contributes specific leadership through the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, National Ocean Service, and National Weather Service.
Assessments Program also supports other global, national, regional, and sectoral level climate assessment activities and services:

How the airline industry has been hit by the crisis
The story of the coronavirus impact on airlines in numbers
North American carriers hunker down through crisis
Asia-Pacific coronavirus crisis has clear winners and losers
European carriers aim to cut their way through the crisis
Coronavirus pushes fragile African carriers closer to the edge
Latin carriers feel the pain as crisis deepens
Middle East carriers aim to get back on track
After years of record traffic growth and unprecedented profitability, the airline industry is facing the sharpest and most sustained fall in demand as the coronavirus pandemic has brought international travel to a virtual standstill.
Airlines to post record loss this year
IATA projects airlines will post their largest ever collective net loss this year, totalling $84.3 billion, and will remain in the red in 2021.
The airline association had already indicated global passenger traffic this year would be roughly half 2019 levels as travel restrictions brought international passenger services to a virtual standstill in the second quarter.
The projected net loss of $84 billion for 2020 would dwarf the $30 billion loss during the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009 and brings an abrupt end to a 10-year profits run. IATA had in December projected industry profits could reach almost $30 billion this year.
While IATA expects a sharp improvement in passenger demand in 2021, albeit still below 2019 levels, it still expects a collective loss of €15.8 billion next year.
"We haven't put out a forecast beyond 2021," says IATA chief economist Brian Pearce. But, citing the example of what happened in the financial crisis, he says: "If you follow the trend, 2022 looks like it could be a year for a return to profit and certainly that would be in line with our longer-term forecasts in growth in passenger markets."
No region escapes traffic grounding
Travel and quarantine restrictions implemented by countries as part of national lockdowns have resulted in the virtual grounding of scheduled international passenger flights during the second quarter.
As a result, IATA expects air travel demand, measured in RPKs, to this year be down almost half on 2019 levels. Traffic among European carriers is forecast to be down 55%, while it will be around half the 2019 levels in all other regions except North America. Traffic for carriers in the latter is expected to be 36% down on 2019, the lower rate of reduction reflecting continued activity in the large US domestic market.
That outlook is in line with projections from airports body ACI World. It forecasts that global passenger numbers will more than halve this year.
The crisis will, ACI estimates, result in a reduction of 2 billion passengers at airports during the second quarter alone, and 4.6 billion across 2020 as a whole. That compares with the record high of 9.1 billion passengers handled at airports in 2019.
More than half of passenger revenue lost in 2020
In mid-April, IATA forecast that $314 billion in collective airline passenger revenues would be wiped out this year - a 55% fall on 2019's figures.
IATA's prediction marked a deepening of the projected impact on the industry as the scale of restrictions to deal with the outbreak became clearer.
It was based on projections that traffic would be all but wiped out aside from big domestic markets, such as China and the USA, during the second quarter.
Airline efforts to restore services have so far been tentative, with most pushing hopes for any significant resumption in air travel into July. That would fit with IATA's expectations for some level of restart in the third quarter, but with demand and activity remaining significantly down for the rest of the year.
Demand may not return to pre-crisis levels before 2023
IATA expects an improvement in air travel demand to lag economic recovery by up to two years. Its baseline forecast envisages air traffic demand still down 24% next year against 2019 levels. As IATA had originally projected continued steady growth in 2020 and 2021, it means its revised outlook for next year is 32% down on its pre-crisis expectations. Under this scenario, it does not see passenger traffic returning to 2019 levels until 2023.
But IATA also flagged a more pessimistic view - applicable if there is a slower opening up of economies and the lifting of travel restrictions is pushed further in the third quarter. Under that scenario, IATA expects traffic to be 34% below 2019 levels - and 41% below its pre-crisis expectations for 2021.
Even under its most positive outlook, IATA still projects passenger traffic in 2025 will remain 10% below the levels originally envisaged before the crisis.
Rising debt levels to slow recovery
One of the key reasons airlines have been able to stave off collapse has been their ability to access fresh funding. For some major carriers, that has been done via the commercial markets. But for many others, it has come in the form of government aid. IATA calculates that more than half of this state aid is in repayable forms, such as loans, guarantees or deferred taxes.
As a result, IATA sees collective debt levels increasing more than a quarter, to around $550 billion by year-end. While that has provided airlines with breathing space to survive the crisis, IATA warns it will weigh heavily on carriers in the recovery phase - especially with the challenging revenue climate likely to follow. This will create more pressure on carriers to generate the necessary cash-flow to service higher debt levels.
Oil price falls provide mixed blessing
A sharp fall in oil prices has accompanied the crisis. The barrel price of Brent Crude began the year just below the $70 level. Already on the slide before the crisis, prices plummeted as the outbreak spread, falling from just under $60 to below $20 over two months, though during May it climbed back over the $30 mark.
While lower fuel prices provide a welcome reduction in airline operating costs, this benefit is partly diminished by both the sharp reduction in capacity levels and existing fuel hedges. The latter, particularly evident among European operators, means losses have been taken on some fuel hedges.
The fall in oil demand also impacts economic growth in countries heavily dependent on the sector, notably within the Middle East, Central Asia, Latin America and Africa.
Governments step up to save airlines
A number of governments have acted to provide financial support for their airlines. IATA in late May estimated governments had provided around $123 billion in financial aid to airlines during the crisis. The largest share of this - more than $50 billion - is in the form of loans, while around $35 billion is wage subsidies.
But this has been a fragmented approach, differing by region - and by countries within that region. While the likes of USA, Singapore and France, for example, have provided packages to support their carriers, others have seen little assistance. IATA points to the relatively limited state aid provided to carriers in Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Notably, Latin America's biggest two carriers, LATAM Airlines Group and Avianca, have both been forced into formal restructuring via US Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Passenger fleet gradually starts flying again
Tracking by Cirium's research team estimates that at the peak of the crisis in April, just under 17,000 widebodies, narrowbodies and regional aircraft were parked - accounting for around 64% of the global fleet. As of 3 June, Cirium reports 54% of the global fleet remains in storage
Much of the fleet that remained active was serving domestic markets, repatriation flights or was redeployed on cargo missions to fill the void created by the loss of belly capacity from the grounded passenger fleet.
Cargo slumps despite freighter boom
While demand has seldom been higher for freighter operators and airlines have been able to redeploy some of their passenger aircraft on cargo missions, this partly disguises that the wider picture for air freight has been tough.
IATA figures for April show global air freight demand down nearly 28% compared with the same month last year – the sharpest fall ever recorded. But because three-quarters of passenger aircraft bellyhold capacity was removed from the market by the coronavirus grounding, demand still outstripped supply.
Total capacity was cut 42% in April, though there was a 15% rise in dedicated freighter capacity.
"There is a severe capacity crunch in air cargo. Airlines are deploying as much capacity as possible, including special charter operations and the temporary use of passenger cabins for cargo," says IATA director general Alexandre de Juniac.
Story updated on 11 June to add in fresh IATA profits outlook
Airports trade group advocates for testing instead of quarantines
An international trade group representing airports is the latest organisation to call for widespread coronavirus testing to replace current quarantine measures in order to encourage passengers to begin travelling again.
Aeromexico files for bankruptcy
Grupo Aeromexico, the parent company of Mexican flag carrier Aeromexico, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the US after the coronavirus pandemic decimated its business.
Scott Sheldon steps down as president of Allegiant Air
Allegiant Travel Company, parent of Allegiant Air, has accepted the resignation of co-president and chief operating officer Scott Sheldon, prompting a reshuffling of the airline's executives.


Thanks for your question. We are not sure if you are asking about heating the floor of your RV, or about heating in general for your entire RV.
On the subject of heated floors, we do not have an opinion on this subject. We don't have a heated floor, so have no expertise to offer, perhaps others will comment.
If you are talking about regular heat that comes out of vents near the floor, then we can share what we do. We have roof-mounted air conditioner/heat pump units. We use these in most cases.
When the temperature is too low for the heat pump to be effective (or we want to avoid the noise), we use a couple of ceramic heaters plugged in. We are typically hooked up to electricity which is included in the price of the site, so we use the electric heaters. If we were paying for electricity, we would probably not use these.
If it gets really cold – then we use our diesel furnace, which is a hot water/forced hot air system. We might also keep the ceramic heaters plugged in at the same time if electricity is not costing us anything.
If we were boondocking (no electricity) in very cold weather where the heat pump is not feasible, we would have the generator on while we were awake and in the RV. This would keep the batteries charged and allow us to run the electric heaters/microwave, etc. And we might also turn on the furnace if it was really cold. When we go to bed, we turn off the generator and let the furnace keep the RV heated overnight.
Hope that helps. Comments welcome.
Hydronic floor heat is great and the source of the heat is very adaptable. The problem is that it is difficult to install the tubing after the fact. You can use the hot water heater, a dedicated heater, heater exchangers, almost any thing to heat the water, uses a low wattage pump to distribute the water. Having warm floors radiates the heat evenly and is most efficient, economical, and maintenance free. It's good stuff, but likely has to be installed when the unit is being built, not retrospectively.

Fedora 13 Propels Open Source Innovation
Free Distribution Expands its Community and Increases Contributions
北卡罗来纳州罗利 — 2010年 5月 25日 —
The Fedora Project, a Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT) sponsored and community-supported open source collaboration, today announced the availability of Fedora 13, the latest version of its free open source operating system distribution. Fedora 13 combines some of the latest open source features with an open and transparent development process. Fedora 13 includes a variety of features and improvements to enhance desktop productivity, assist in software development, and improve virtualization.
"Fedora continues to help advance free and open source software and content," said Paul Frields, Fedora Project Leader at Red Hat. "This release comes just six months after the release of Fedora 12, and it incorporates technologies built by free software developers around the globe. The Fedora Project reciprocates by contributing everything built in Fedora back to the open source community."
Fedora 13 includes several new features with special focus on desktops, netbooks, virtualization and system administration. Its robust feature set includes:
Simpler installation and device access
The user interface of Anaconda, the Fedora installer, has changed to handle storage devices and partitioning in an easier and more streamlined manner, with helpful hints in the right places. Once installed, Fedora automatically offers driver installation when the user plugs in a printer. Software applications for instant or scheduled data backups, photo management, and scanning make it easier for users to load, edit, share, and secure their content. Color management offers creative users the ability to produce more color-accurate art and photos, from loading to display to printing.
Accelerated 3D graphics using free drivers
In previous releases, Fedora introduced free and open source 3D drivers for Intel and ATI video cards. In Fedora 13, a variety of Nvidia graphics cards can now be 3D enabled to support free software games and an enhanced desktop experience. New DisplayPort connectors are now supported on ATI and Nvidia cards as well. These free drivers are expected to be enhanced over the course of Fedora 13 and beyond, and become part of the platform for the next-generation free desktop including GNOME 3.
Virtualization enhancements
Fedora continues to be a leader in virtualization technologies and is one of the leading contributors of key technologies like Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), libvirt and virt-manager. Fedora 13 adds support for stable PCI addresses, enabling virtual guests to retain PCI addresses' space on a host machine and expanding opportunities for large-scale automation of virtualization. New shared network interface technology enables virtual machines to use the same physical network interface cards as the host operating system. Fedora 13 also features improvements in performance for KVM networking and large multi-processor systems. These features offer savvy technologists the opportunity to experience virtualization innovations before they are seen in later releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Enhanced software development and debugging
Fedora 13 includes new support that allows developers working with mixed libraries (Python and C/C++) in Fedora to get more complete information when debugging with gdb, making rapid application development even easier. The SystemTap utility adds support for static probes, giving programmers expanded capabilities to improve and optimize their code. And with new support for userspace processes, developers can instrument code written in high level languages such as Python, database applications, and more.
Expanded Btrfs features
Fedora continues to be a key contributor to Btrfs development, and adds support for filesystem snapshots in Fedora 13. Plugin support for snapshots allows administrators to experiment with software updates and more easily revert the system as needed. As in previous releases, advanced users can enable experimental Btrfs support in the installation process to try out this next-generation file system.
Watch the Fedora 13 release video here to learn more about new features and the Fedora community. The global Fedora community has planned several Fedora 13 release events. To find an event near you where the Fedora Project will appear, please visit the Fedora Events calendar.
During the past year, the Fedora community, led by its volunteer corps of Fedora Ambassadors, has held 14 Fedora Activity Day (FAD) events around the globe. At each FAD, community members gather to work on focused Fedora tasks, teach users and administrators, and plan coverage of worldwide events. The Fedora Project also held three Fedora Users and Developers Conference (FUDCon) events in Porto Alegre, Berlin, and Toronto. The Fedora Project's record of open, transparent collaboration with the community continues to attract participants, with over 17,000 currently registered contributors.

方针政策概览


She is a African-American actress started out as a beauty queen and model, she went on to become a pioneer for black women in Hollywood. Initially Berry appeared on the small screen in the short-lived series Living Dolls (as a model, of course) as well as a handful of guest spots. Her powerhouse turn as a crack addict in Jungle Fever proved an impressive entry into films. Despite her obvious talent, the beauty was often reduced to window dressing (The Last Boy Scout, Boomerang, The Flintstones). In 1999 Berry realized a lifelong dream and won an acting Emmy when she produced and starred in the TV biopic Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, about the first black performer to be nominated for an Oscar as best actress. The part proved prophetic when Berry became the first black actress to win that coveted award in 2002 for her unglamorous turn as a woman coping with a husband on death row in Monster's Ball. While on a career high, her personal life was messy, including high-profile divorces from professional baseball player David Justice and singer Eric Benet, and a 2000 hit-and-run accident and subsequent civil suit. In the early '00s, Berry also made some career missteps, including a Razzie-winning performance in Catwoman. But she took all these setbacks in stride and, in an impressive show of good humor, she became the first big-name star to accept her Razzie Award in person in 2005.

The greatest guitar players are the ones who changed everything.
There have been many great guitarists throughout the history of rock music. A quick internet search will lead you to multiple lists touting the best of the best, and ranking them accordingly. These lists tend to stir up a lot of controversy, and I doubt there has ever been a guitar player or music fan who completely agreed with any of them.
We all have our own opinions on how famous guitar players should be ranked from first to worst, and the subjective nature of music means nobody is really right or wrong.
You're probably not going to agree with this list either, and that's okay. However, the intention here isn't to get you to punch your laptop by suggesting that Jack White is somehow a better guitar player than Ritchie Blackmore. Instead, think of this list as more of a historical discussion.
Great artists do not appear out of nowhere, though it might seem like that sometimes. Even the most talented musicians have guitar heroes who inspired them to pick up the instrument and play, or to become better songwriters. Every guitar player stands on the shoulders of the influential artists who came before them. That goes for you and me, as well as the best players in the world today.
While we could list hundreds of great guitarists if we wanted to, the number of guitar players who truly changed music is much, much smaller. These are the players who influenced millions, and left the world different than they found it. You might argue there are way more talented players than some of these guys, but it's tough to say there are many who had a greater impact on the direction of rock music.
It is widely accepted that rock and roll evolved from rhythm and blues. While there were many musicians responsible for that evolution, from a guitar perspective Chuck Berry was at the epicenter of the shift into a new genre.
Berry was an excellent guitarist with tremendous energy in both his solos and rhythm work. His sound and style played a huge part in defining what rock and roll would become, not only in the 1950s but for decades into the future.
He was also a great physical showman, running about onstage and doing things with a guitar that nobody had ever done before, at least not in public. This was at the tail end of the big-band era, when most musicians simply stood there onstage, nicely dressed and well behaved. Chuck Berry showed guitar players it was okay to be excited about what they were doing, and it was even okay to be a little edgy.
If you have to pick a place where rock guitar started, it's tough to argue there is a better place than the fingers of Chuck Berry. He was the bridge between rhythm and blues and something totally new, and he was an influence over countless guitar players who, after hearing him, decided to step away from jazz, blues or country and give this new rock and roll thing a try.
In the 1960s the British Invasion forever changed the world music landscape, and rock and roll would never be the same thanks to bands like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. But who influenced the Beatles and the Rolling Stones?
Chuck Berry and American R&B, for sure, but Buddy Holly and the Crickets were another huge influence.
Holly will never be considered among the greatest guitar players of all time, but he was a competent and creative musician for his era. Anyway, that's not what this list is about. It's about who made their mark and sent music in a new direction, and there is little doubt music today would be much different without Buddy Holly.
Buddy Holly and the Crickets were one of the first guitar-oriented rock and roll bands with a consistent lineup who also wrote their own music, something seen as commonplace for bands a decade later.
We might even argue that Holly is at least partially responsible for the success of one of the most iconic guitars every created, the Fender Stratocaster. While the double-cutaway Strat design is now well-known, it was pretty futuristic for the 1950s. When Holly appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show playing a Strat it was something many people, even guitar players, hadn't seen before.
After taking a moment to compose himself and choke back his annoyance, he told me, in essence: Unless you were a guitar player, or at least a music fan, back in 1964, there is a good chance you'll never truly understand why the Beatles were so amazing. While the sounds they created seem quite ordinary today, there was nothing else like them at the time.
In other words: You had to be there, at that moment in history when the Beatles arrived on the scene, to really appreciate the impact they had on music.
Years later, a little older and wiser, I now see how right he was. Bands and guitar players around the world did everything they could to sound like the Beatles back then, and that includes bands with guitarists who went on to make their own marks in the music world.
While those of us who didn't live through it may not ever really "get it", it is clear that the Beatles really did change everything. The playing and songwriting of John Lennon and George Harrison (and bassist Paul McCartney, to be fair) inspired thousands of young musicians, and many of those players went on to become the guitarists I idolized, twenty years later.
Is it accurate to say that Eric Clapton was the first true guitar hero? Maybe. In any event, it is certainly accurate to say he had a huge influence on rock musicians who emerged in the late '60s, '70s and '80s.
Clapton is known today as a solo musician, but he was also part of some of the most influential rock groups of the '60s. He joined the Yardbirds in 1963, a band that would later feature guitar greats Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. Here the Clapton legend began to take shape, but he soon left the band to pursue other projects, most notably with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers.
In 1966 Clapton joined Cream, another hugely important band of the '60s. Influenced by Jimi Hendrix (and vice versa) he began to experiment with different sounds, and his style continued to evolve.
To my ear, Clapton's playing in Cream walked the line between the blues-rock British invasion sound of the '60s and hard rock of the early '70s. In this sense, like many players on this list he is a bridge from an established genre to something new.
There is a strong case to be made that Eric Clapton is the most influential guitarist of all time. For younger players who don't understand why he is so great, check out the Cream years and it will become clear enough. Don't stop there, though. He went on to play with Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominoes before his successful solo career.
I've already said this isn't supposed to be one of those lists of the best guitar players in the history of ever, but if it were Jimi Hendrix would be near the top. When it comes to pure talent he seemed to be from another planet. Maybe there is some far-off alien world brimming with millions of people like Jimi, but here on Earth we've only gotten one so far.
Hendrix's otherworldly command of the instrument was only part of the reason he was such a huge influence on just about every rock guitar player who came after. He also had an amazing feel for tone and texture, and a knack for innovation most of us can barely comprehend.
He started as a blues guitarist, and was influenced by early rock guitarists such as Chuck Berry. In the mid 1960s he cut his teeth as a backing guitarist before making his own way. The blues remained a big part of his style throughout his short career, but he also helped forge the beginnings of the hard rock sound in the late '60s and early '70s.
His official body of work is small compared to many of the greats, and he left a legacy of three studio albums and one live record before his death in 1970.
Many will say the prototype of the '80s hard rock band with the wild, free-spirited vocalist and gunslinger, virtuoso guitar player was Van Halen. There's a good case to be made for that, but if you really think about it we can look back all the way to Led Zeppelin for the earliest inklings of what rock music would become.
Robert Plant was certainly flamboyant, but somewhat of a wallflower compared to David Lee Roth. And Page is a master on guitar, although if he was a gunslinger he was an outlaw with a cerebral side.
Led Zeppelin influenced thousands of guitar player who would go on to shape the rock and metal sounds of the later '70s, 1980s and onward. Like Clapton, Page got his start with the Yardbirds before forming Led Zeppelin in 1968. From there it is impossible to understate the importance of his impact on the guitar world, especially the hard rock genre.
To me, Page is the master of tone and color. Sure, there are a lot of guitarists with amazing tone, but Page seems to command his sound like no other. Through the nuances of his playing, the manipulation of the guitar pickups and the creative use of effects he took the guitar to another level.
It's tough to find a hard rock or metal band that hasn't been influenced by Black Sabbath, whether they know it or not. The crushing sounds and dark chord progressions we take for granted today all started with Tony Iommi. Black Sabbath are the godfathers of heavy metal and, thanks to Iommi, legions of young guitar players started experimenting with heavy sounds.
Those guitarists who were kids in the '70s grew up to become the hard rock, thrash and death metal guitarists of the '80s. Without Iommi and Black Sabbath many of the great metal bands we know today may never have happened.
But 'Sabbath was far more than just a doom-metal wrecking machine. Iommi's songwriting features a heavy blues influence, a little jazz, and a period-appropriate dose of trippy, psychedelic jamming. Songs like Symptom of the Universe and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath start with fierce power chords but also include a melodic, undistorted change of pace.
Black Sabbath's original lineup featured the pioneer of extreme metal guitar in Iommi, one of the greatest metal rhythm sections of all time in drummer Bill Ward and bassist Geezer Butler, and the legendary Ozzy Osbourne on vocals. It doesn't get much better than that.
While Eddie Van Halen may have to battle players like Hendrix and Clapton for the title of Greatest Guitarist of All Time, he would certainly make the short list. The shape of '80s hard rock took form largely because of Eddie's influence, and his tinkering led to the popularity of the hot-rodded Stratocaster.
Even if Eddie had never made it big we would still feel the reverberations of his greatness. He was a local legend in the Los Angeles area music scene, a contemporary of Randy Rhoads and an inspiration for guitarists like George Lynch, Warren DeMartini and Jake E. Lee. Years before a national audience ever heard Eruption on Van Halen's first album, Eddie had made an impact.
Fortunately for guitarists and the world at large, Van Halen went on to be one of the greatest rock bands in history, and Eddie's playing and songwriting were a big reason. His tone, style and innovation shaped a generation of rock and metal guitar players around the world. Many musicians have since done what Eddie does, but he was the forerunner, a musician who changed everything.
It's not that the electric Texas blues was unheard of with mainstream audiences when Stevie Ray Vaughan came to the attention of the guitar-playing public in the 1980s. ZZ Top has a darned good guitarist named Billy Gibbons who made the blues cool starting back in the '70s. But SRV was a bit grittier, taking his cues from players like Albert King and applying it to a rock setting. He had something about his playing, tone and attitude that hadn't really been captured by a rock guitar player up until that point.
SRV was a tremendous player with off-the-chart skills, but some of his songs ended up on that charts. He achieved a fair amount of commercial success, but more importantly he introduced many young guitarists to the blues, myself included. I remember "discovering" Stevie Ray Vaughan on late-night TV sometime in the '80s. I thought he was amazing, and suddenly a kid with an Ibanez Rhoads V copy was trying to learn blues riffs.
Stevie battled the demons of drug and alcohol addiction and by accounts seems to have won, but an unfortunate helicopter accident took him from the world at the age of 35. He left behind four studio albums (with two more records released posthumously) and a legacy of one of the best blues guitarists of all-time.
The rock history books are filled with stories of talented shredders, even some who dabbled in the classical side of guitar. Ritchie Blackmore typically gets credit for getting the ball rolling when it comes to melding classical music and heavy rock, and Randy Rhoads is often mentioned. However, not until Yngwie J. Malmsteen released Rising Force in 1984 did the guitar world really understand the possibilities of a classical/metal fusion.
Malmsteen's playing on Rising Force is just plain bonkers, to use a non-technical term. Laced with speed, precision and mind-blowing sweep arpeggios, today the album is recognized as one of the most significant rock guitar records of all time.
That's saying something for the period when it was released. It wasn't hard to find a guitar hero in the mid '80s. Unlike today, there were great new players popping up left and right. But Yngwie was something beyond the rest, and he was an inspiration to young guitarists who became driven, as he was, to take the instrument to another level.
Thrash metal emerged back in the early 1980s, around the same time Van Halen-inspired glam metal was becoming popular. Thrash gave metal fans a reprieve from the glossy Sunset Strip vibe, and Metallica was the poster kid for this new breed of metal.
Early Metallica was a juggernaut like no other - brutally heavy, fast and mean - but the band also had a musical, progressive side. Along with Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth they comprised the unofficial Big Four of Thrash, but Metallica always seemed to be at the tip of the spear of this new movement.
Kirk Hammett gets a lot of credit as a guitarist in Metallica, but to me James Hetfield has always been the force behind this band's sound. His songwriting and heavy right hand are what made the albums Ride the Lighting and Master of Puppets so huge, and these are two of the most influential metal albums of all time.
If you are a young metal player you can't do better than studying Hetfield's riffs and technique. Don't worry if you can't keep up on songs like Battery - there are many veteran guitar players who can't. But if you keep at it you'll get it, and you'll be a better player for the ordeal.
The thrash movement took rock music to a new level of heaviness, but it didn't take long for metal guitarists to push things even further. The American death metal movement began in the '80s. In the '90s it was a welcome sanctuary for metal fans who saw many of their favorite thrash and classic metal bands on the decline during the grunge years.
If Tony Iommi is the godfather of heavy metal guitar with Black Sabbath, Chuck Schuldiner is the godfather of death metal with his iconic band Death. Bands like Deicide, Morbid Angel and Obituary soon followed, marking another metal movement in the United States, this time centering on the Tampa, Florida, area.
Death was a heavy band, and Schuldiner's vocal style, while unique at the time, obviously influenced a lot of metal vocalists in the years to come. But Death also featured a progressive style and very creative songwriting. Personally, I had the privilege of seeing them in small club during their Symbolic tour, and they were an amazing live band as well.
Schuldiner passed away in 2001 at the age of 34 due to a brain tumor. He launched a genre, influenced thousands and left us with seven classic albums.
If you're like me, smoke probably comes out of your ears whenever Kurt Cobain is mentioned on one of those "best guitar player" lists, ahead of more competent players.
However, Cobain was a decent songwriter, and as the front man of Nirvana he inspired a lot of guitar players. That's a good or a bad thing, depending on how you look at it.
From a certain perspective, Cobain and the grunge movement had a positive impact on guitar. See, back in the '80s the process of learning guitar was pretty intimidating. It was even elitist, in a way. Listening to Van Halen, Randy Rhoads or Yngwie either got you fired up and ready to practice, or made you want to give up.
This was the Golden Age of Shred. It was clear that to succeed as a rock guitarist in the '80s you had to be good, and it got more and more competitive each year. Unfortunately, many young guitarists got frustrated and chose to quit.
The '90s were different. Rock music calmed down, got back to basics, and the instrument became more accessible. Where it would take you months or years to get good enough to play a Van Halen song, you can learn Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit during your first few days of playing.
The bar was lowered, and while it is arguable whether this was a good thing for guitar or music in general, it did make the instrument less intimidating for many young players. As a result, many more likely stuck with it, and some of those players have gone on to great things.
While writing this it really struck me how the impact of one musician can have a domino effect on so many who come after. One guitarist can change everything, for better or worse.
I think this is important to remember in our own playing. None of us live in a musical vacuum, and what other players have done should be important to us. That could mean copping the style of an amazing player, morphing it into something of our own, or deconstructing it and making something totally different.
And I'm sure you can think of other guitar players who might be worthy of making this list, even some who weren't rock players yet influenced rock music from the outside.
So let me know in the comments. Who do you think are the most important rock guitar players in the history of music, and which have been the most influential for you?
Who Is the Most Important Guitarist Ever?
They're all important, but what if you could pick only one?
@Wesman - I agree. It's tough to make a list like this and not miss a guitarist that others find important. I included Cobain even though I didn't really like him, because he really did change things, for better or worse. But I left out many other great players because. as great as they were/are, they weren't game changers.
That's a great Chuck video up there with Keith also involved. You can't really make a list like this without leaving someone out. For me, I grew up thinking Page was the coolest person ever. I've always had people think my record collection must really belong to my father....but I always liked the music from the 70s the best.
Maybe 6 of these guys. But have never heard of Keith Richards? His riffs moved you as rock should plus he wrote and co-wrote some of the best rock song ever.
So....Kurt C but NO David Gilmour? Top 5 most influential guitarists ALL Time! What a shame!

Caryatids Return to Rotherhithe London Since Town Hall Bombing in WWII
In 1897, a town hall was erected in Rotherhithe, London on the corner of Neptune Street and Lower Road, with the rear of the building on Moodkee Street. It included a stage and fireproof curtain. But in 1905, the town hall was converted into a library and museum. According to Arthur Lloyd, the museum displayed portraits, documents, "prehistoric items such as a 3,000-year old item of embroidery, a letter from the Duke of Wellington, a mummy case from ancient Egypt, and a 1483 copy of the Book of Thomas Aquinas. The Observer newspaper reported that there was something for the 'geologist and historian, ornithologist, local recorder, and collector of oddities.'"
The building was bombed in WWII and although severely damaged, almost all of the books were saved as well as the caryatids on the facade. Local residents report playing in the ruins of the building as children, while the "two female statues at the entrance looked as if a great weight had been lifted from their arms." The statues were designed by Henry Poole, an architectural sculptor whose work can be found on Westminster, St. Paul's Cathedral and even as far as a banking office in Shanghai. The caryatids were moved to the Heygate Estate in Elephant and Castle in 1974, but were just returned thanks to the efforts of the local council and Gary Magold, former secretary of the Friends of Southwark Park. The formal unveiling will be on Saturday, June 4th at noon at Southwark Park, London's first municipal park (from 1869).
According to the Inauguration Program for the event, the caryatids have two significant differences between them. "One is detailed with oak foliage and the other with laurel. Oak is often seen as an emblem of virtue, strength, longevity and rebirth. Laurel is a token of peace and quiet but also a symbol of triumph and fame."
Gary Magold provided these advance photographs of the caryatids, home at last:

Information on winter seasonal ski and sun flights from London's airports.
A look at winter seasonal ski and sun routes from London airports as well as additional frequencies on popular routes and special events such as CES in Las Vegas.
Now that Christmas is over thoughts turn to travel plans for the coming months. With many planning their next ski trip or an escape from the British winter weather, here's a quick run through of direct winter seasonal routes from London which operate in addition to scheduled year round services.


The transmission in your car makes sure that the energy that your engine produces makes your car go. The way that it happens is that transmission sends that energy into the driveshaft, which then transmits it to your car's axles and turns the wheels, making your car go forward or backward.
Your transmission has the option to go in drive or reverse, and within the choice of drive, there are several gears. The right gear depends on how many RPMs the car is going as well as how fast it's going. When your transmission starts going, that really affects how well your car is going to work. So, what are some signs that your transmission is starting to go?
One sign that your transmission is going is that you start to notice that the gears seem to be slipping. This would feel like your car is in the correct gear and all of a sudden slips into the wrong gear. Your engine might start to whine, or the pitch might change because it's working either too hard or not hard enough for the gear that it's in. You may also feel like your car doesn't have enough power all of a sudden. This would be something that would happen if your car switches to a higher gear and your engine just isn't working at that particular gear's level yet.
The transmission fluid in your car acts like a lubricant to make sure that you can switch gears smoothly and easily. Otherwise, you are getting metal parts rubbing against other metal parts. That is never a good thing. It can leave little metal bits in your transmission which would end up causing more damage.
Your transmission fluid never gets used up in the way that motor oil does, so there really shouldn't be any reason that you might see any puddles of transmission fluid under your car. Transmission fluid is red, or it might appear pinkish, depending on what kind of surface the puddle is on. The transmission fluid may also have a particular smell. It can smell either tart or sweet. That can seem like it's contradictory, but it isn't.
If your transmission starts going out, it's important that you get it looked at as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more it's going to cost you to get repaired, so knowing some signs of it going bad is going to be a good thing.

In our second "Day in the Life" post, we're highlighting another team member pivotal to supporting our Community on the front lines – Director of Developer Relations, Kathy Reid.
Kathy joined the team in September 2017, bringing open source prowess from her role as President of Linux Australia, bringing technical background from years of digital transformation work in the education space in Australia. Read through to the bottom of the post for a special note from Mycroft to Kathy.
So Kathy, where do you hail from?
I'm from a city called Geelong, about an hour and a half west of Melbourne, in Australia. Geelong is gorgeous, it's right on the water. It's also a UNESCO Creative City of Design, with a really emerging advanced manufacturing and technology-based economy. The cost of living is a lot cheaper than Melbourne, so you get a lot more value for money.
I spent 16 years at Deakin University, a large college, mostly in management and leadership roles with emerging technologies like digital signage, videoconferencing, web development, and digital platforms. My job was "bedding down" new tech into the everyday operations of the organisation. Additionally, I have a very strong background in the Australian open source scene – I've been on the board of Linux Australia for five years, the last two as President.
Next year, I've been incredibly fortunate to be offered a place in the brand new Masters' program at the 3A Institute at Australian National University in Canberra, where I'll be helping to develop a new applied science in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
What do you work on at Mycroft?
Strategy and planning: Part of the work I do involves our Community Strategy and roadmapping out key tranches of work and their interdependencies, then decomposing work into actionable stories. I think people have a perception that working in Developer Relations / Community roles is fairly straightforward, but there's a lot of behind-the-scenes work that goes into attracting, nurturing and retaining a productive, harmonious, skilled and aspirational Community.
Metrics and measurement: As the saying goes, if you can't measure it, you can't manage it. As part of the Developer Relations Metrics Framework I developed, we track both qualitative and quantitative data points across the Dev Rel life cycle – allowing us to take corrective action if things aren't going as expected.
Quality assurance: I created the assurance process for Mycroft Skills, and part of my role is facilitating testing of Skills, and the governance and community consultation that is part of our Skills Framework. It's now ready to be opened up to Community team, so if you'd like to be a Skill Tester, read more here.
Community technical support: We have over 25,000 users and nearly 20,000 registered devices, and are starting to branch out into foreign languages with our Mycroft Translate platform – so there's plenty of issues to diagnose – both to help our great Community but also to continually improve the Mycroft software. This role is quite broad and encompasses support across a number of channels – Chat, Forum, social media, and Mycroft Translate.
Documentation: Thousands of people a month use our technical documentation to get started and start tinkering with Mycroft. Part of my role is to help keep our documentation up to date – which can be a challenge, given how quickly our Voice Stack is being developed!
I'm a bit of a geek at heart, so I really like the problem-solving part of the role – figuring out why things are borked, and, hopefully, un-borking them.
At a more abstract level, the job satisfaction I have from this role is really about enabling a movement, a platform and a Community that is committed to a comparable voice platform that respects privacy and is open source. Mycroft is to voice what WordPress and Drupal are to web content management, or what Linux is to operating systems.
Another highlight is the time I get to spend with some great role models within the team. I won't call them out individually, because they would be embarrassed, but they challenge my thinking, my mental models and technical knowledge in a way that comes from a foundation of mutual respect. That sort of mentoring is worth more than money – because the positive effects ripple throughout your professional and personal career.
Like many open source Communities, we have challenges from time to time in ensuring that behaviors in our Community channels – Chat, Forum, social media and so on – uphold the values and standards that our Community expects. Part of my role is to set expectations and boundaries of acceptable behavior in a cross-lingual, cross-cultural, and cross-capability Community – using judgment to determine when to moderate, when to steer the conversation in a different direction, when to be blunt. At a systemic level, our Community standards are supported through artifacts such as the contribution guidelines, codes of conduct and so on in all our GitHub repos, and the ability for the Community to flag posts which violate norms. Fortunately, the overwhelming majority of our Community are mature, emotionally competent people who engage rationally, logically and cooperatively – a really outstanding group – so we've rarely had to intervene.
The most satisfying interactions are where you're able to provide greater insight, or with a little diagnosis or investigation, get someone using the Mycroft platform at a more advanced level, such as with a different language, or with a third party system – really being able to help them on their Mycroft journey.
One of my favourite interactions has been helping a university student with his final year project. In fact, it was more guidance than actual help. He's been able to integrate Mycroft with a University timetabling system – something that has the potential to benefit thousands of students. Colleges are known for their bureaucracy and I think Mycroft is helping to chip away at some of that.
What are some of the key challenges of your role?
Mycroft has over 25,000 users and over 20,000 registered devices now – which is amazing. However, it means that we need to find efficient and effective ways to deliver technical support to people – all over the world – in every time zone on earth. So part of my role is to find ways to deliver support on a "one to many" basis rather than "one to one" – such as through documentation, videos and tutorials.
What sort of skills or competencies would you say you need to be effective in this sort of role?
This role is unique in that you need a real balance of both technical and interpersonal skills – you need enough knowledge of Linux, Python, the Mycroft Voice Stack, and our platforms – to be able to assist. But, you also need to leverage a variety of strategies to help encourage people to get to a useful outcome. Sometimes this means securing cooperation for troubleshooting, getting people on board with trying different solutions, or even getting someone to accept that a feature or function is not yet available. It's a balancing act.
That's enough from me, I'd rather let Mycroft do the talking!
"Kathy has been invited to help shape the curriculum, and ultimately the minds of the future by securing a Masters Scholarship at the 3A Institute at the Australian National University. There, she will help build a new applied science in artificial intelligence and machine learning. This is absolutely a once in a lifetime opportunity for Kathy, and we are very excited for her on this next chapter in her journey. Please join us in saying THANK YOU for everything she has done for Mycroft. You have truly been a tremendous asset to the team, Community, and personally both a great team member and mentor to me.
We are also pleased to announce we have identified her successor. We are still nailing down a start date. As soon as we have one, we will be introducing them to the Community. During this time of onboarding and ramp up, we expect that some of the normal things Kathy does will take a little bit longer, but as I mentioned in this blog, we have a wonderful Community that has always stepped up to help each other. Please join the overall Mycroft Community on chat.mycroft.ai and the forum.

The Story Behind the Colts Anvil
As many of you know, I recently became a contributor for Indianapolis Monthly. Writing has always been something I've enjoyed, so I'm really excited about getting a chance to "write whenever you feel like it" (direct quote from my IM editors).
For my second piece, I wanted to focus on the phenomenon that is The Anvil. It's only in its fourth season, but already The Anvil has reached icon status among sports fans in Indiana. I reached out to Colts Chief of Marketing, Roger VanDerSnick, to get some background on the conception of The Anvil and how/why it has taken our city by storm:
The Colts' Anvil has quickly established itself as one of the most cherished traditions in American sports. How was The Anvil created? Who gave our city this amazing gift? Who gets to bang it?

I am not quite sure how to handle this. My aim is to plot 𝛿θ against X so that I get curve models showing an fast increased of fault rotation for a certain distance of spreading, and a steady-flat evolution afterwards (showing nearly no rotation happening anymore).
I never did any geodynamic modelling before but I'm able to work days/nights to get those curves.
If someone could give me a hint about the process (how to approach the problem mathematically or how to start), I would appreciate greatly.

Archive for Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!?.
Originally, I was going to say I was watching Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!? (Invaders of the Rokujouma!?) because it had a ghost girlfriend even though the ghost in it isn't quite girlfriend enough to be a ghost girlfriend. Neither was Nanana, for that matter, but I wanted an excuse to trot out my Ghost Girlfriends tag again. I'm not actually a fan in particular of ghost girlfriends, but I liked Yuuko from Tasogare Otome x Amnesia and I thought Itoshi no Kana (My Lovely Ghost Kana) was way better than it had any business being. I wasn't too impressed with Asura Cryin' despite the presence of Haruka De Tomaso Pantera, though. Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!? also features an ecclectic group of individuals all living in the same house, a formula that I've enjoyed in such shows as Dokkoida?! and Love Hina, but it wasn't enough. I was already pretty far behind with Rokujouma, but I dropped it because the ghost girlfriend's flavor of Postmodern Tsundere is the stupid variety. I'm actually okay with Postmodern Tsundere (it's way better than Modern Tsundere, at least), but it's so poorly executed here that I've lost all motivation for catching up with the series. I'd rather use the time to continue reducing my Detective Conan backlog.

Eagle Valley High School – 2017
Type - Educational
Location - Eagle, Eagle County, Gypsum
Eagle Valley High School, Renovations: 10,500 sqft, Classroom Addition: 13,050 sqft, Athletics Addition: 7960 sqft, New building: 14,800 sqft
The most recent work at Eagle Valley High consisted of Master planning, design assist and full Construction Administration. TAB Associates completed Master planning prior to the 2016 bond. We teamed up with the DLR Group for the design and document portion of the process. The design work included renovations to the expanding High School which was built in the 1950's and has undergone more than 6 renovations, as the capacity has grown from 450 students to 1,300. The latest renovation and addition addresses the overwhelming capacity issue as it better accommodates the student's flow through the building and adds additional programming. Eagle Valley High School has gone through several renovations throughout the years and TAB Associates has been an integral part at each new stage.
The latest expansion was designed to address several needs, such as lack of space in the athletic department, classrooms, special needs program, administration offices and undersized hallways. These issues were addressed through a major renovation of the existing spaces and two new building additions. One addition provided new locker rooms, training facilities and fitness areas. The other addition houses new science rooms, classrooms and break out spaces. The cramped hallways were addressed by providing multiple circulation paths for the students, permitting less congestion through the main corridor.
As noted above TAB Associates, Inc. has been integral to the master planning and development of this site and school for almost 20 years.

The first thing you should do is make certain you're ready to take care of a dog. If you travel or need to be away from home for long periods, dog ownership may not be right for you. Dogs, especially young ones, need lots of attention and care. Remember, companionship is a big part of being a dog owner. If you're not able to provide it, think twice before taking in a new pet. Consider all the expenses that go along with being a dog owner because dogs can be expensive to care for. Aside from the food and "equipment" (e.g., leashes, dog sweater, harness), there are shots, registration fees, and periodic visits to the veterinarian. All in all, dog ownership can cost as much as $4,300 a year, depending on the specific needs of your pet.
If you aren't willing to adapt and be flexible, dog ownership can be a burden and an ordeal, for you and your pet. If you've decided you're ready, you'll need to settle on the kind of dog that's right for you and your family. Size is a major factor. If you live in an apartment or condominium or a small house, a mastiff or Irish wolfhound probably won't work out very well. Unless you have a big yard or live near a dog park, a mid- or small-sized dog is your best bet. Small children sometimes are intimidated by large dogs, and some breeds can be unpredictable. Unless you're willing to spend a lot of time and money training yours, leave the big dogs to people who live in the country.
Many breeds shed, leaving mounds of hair on furniture, piled up in the corners of your house and clogging air vents. Aside from the mess, hair and dander can be a major problem if someone in your home has allergy problems. Dogs can seriously affect indoor air quality, so be careful if someone has allergies, asthma, or some other respiratory problem. You can always get around the problem by purchasing a hypoallergenic breed, such as a Maltese, poodle, Irish water spaniel, or bichon frise. Many breeds tend to develop skin problems. Spaniels, English bulldogs, doberman pinschers, labrador retrievers, and shar-peis often develop problems that cause irritation, hair loss, and sores, which can lead to exorbitant veterinarian bills and pricey prescriptive treatments. Be aware that all dogs leave behind their own distinctive scent. If yours is a little on the strong side, you can remove odors by washing sheets and removable covers often and by regularly having your carpet steam cleaned.
People often buy a breed of dog based on something they've seen on TV or because a friend or neighbor has one, not realizing that dogs have different temperaments, which may or may not be appealing based on your lifestyle and personality. If you like to maintain a calm and relaxed atmosphere at home, steer clear of a frenetic, hyperactive breed. The Jack Russell terrier on the TV program "Frasier" had lots of personality and looked cute, but the breed itself can be very hyper and needs lots of exercise and activity. Dalmatians and border collies are also highly active breeds that may be too much to handle.
Create a special space for your new dog where you'll keep his food and water dish, bed, and toys. This will help him establish his territory. Follow a set routine every day, in which you feed him at the same time. Set aside a special time of day for walks, maybe after dinner every weekday night and every Saturday morning. This daily routine is crucial in contributing to the bond you are forming with your new pet. If you purchase a small breed or a dog that was rescued, be aware that your pet may need some extra holding and attention at first until he's comfortable with his surroundings.
Finding a dog breed you like is like finding a new friend. You need to decide whether you're well-suited to each other and whether you can be a good friend to him. Be honest with yourself—if you don't have the time or energy to put into it, you might be better off with a goldfish.
