An Explanation of Gun Dog Training Levels
We sell English Springer Spaniels and English Cocker Spaniels. The dogs we sell are classified in one of four ways. Depending on our client's wishes, their training skills and their available time, dogs are purchased as a puppy, introduced, started or finished dog.
All dogs receive a written health guarantee
Most people typically purchase a dog based primarily on price. These people end up with a puppy because it is cheapest. We do not sell our dogs on price and we typically only sell two puppies out of each litter that we have.
Economically, the puppy is the worst choice you can make
. Although cheapest at first, it ends up being the most expensive when you consider the cost of birds to introduce the dog properly and the cost of getting access to appropriate training grounds where you can shoot birds. In addition, most people underestimate the time required and the cost of their time.
However, the number one reason not to buy a puppy is because a breeder can only give a health guarantee, not a quality guarantee
. With an introduced, started or finished dog, you can go see the dog work. You can see if the dog hunts, retrieves and listens based on your expectations and the level of dog at which you're looking to purchase.
All puppies begin with quality breeding. We predominately only breed within our kennel. This allows us to be sure we are breeding dogs that prove they can find wild birds...not just the birds planted for a test or game. Occasionally, we "go outside" the kennel to prevent "kennel blindness" and to add something we are looking for to further refine our dogs. Although the paper of a dog does not guarantee a bird dog, it is the best way to increase your odds. Add that to personally seeing the parents work and you have a good formula for success.
Our puppies are just what the name implies. They are between 7 and 12 weeks of age, are well socialized, include a certificate of good health and the eyes are checked (CERF). Additionally, the hips are guaranteed until age three to get a passing OFA rating. Depending on the breeding, our puppies are typically $1,500.
These dogs have the same health checks and guarantees as our puppies. The difference comes in additional training. The Introduced dog lacks formal training, but has been properly introduced to birds and the gun and has a basic understanding of the obedience commands (kennel, sit/hup, here). It sounds simple, but most dogs are not properly introduced and, as a result, problems develop later in training.
This is a good purchase for a client who wants to get a young dog and do the bulk of the training. However, the client may not have access to enough birds and to grounds on which they can shoot to properly introduce a dog to birds and the gun. Our Introduced dogs are generally $3,000 and are between 6 and 12 months of age.
Started Dog
Again, our Started dogs have the same health checks and guarantees that our puppies have. They have also been properly introduced to birds and the gun. Formal training has begun – yard work and basic obedience in the field have been completed. You'll have a dog that will find birds and hunt in control without yelling or excessive use of the whistle. A Started dog is the most common dog we sell.
This dog will do everything most people will ever want. The Started dog listens to both voice and whistle commands and is ready for you to take it upland bird hunting. This dog is for the client who really wants to bird hunt and do minimal training. Our Started dogs are generally $5,000 and are generally between 12 and 24 months of age.
Finished Dogs
Our Finished dogs are truly something to behold. These dogs have a certificate of good health, the eyes have the CERF completed and the hips have the OFA completed. All of the training is completed and the dog is steady-to-wing-and-shot. This is a dog that complies with commands the first time. It sits down on the flush, the whistle or gunfire without being told, and waits until you give the command to retrieve the downed bird. Our Finished dogs have been on our guide team for one year or more and have been hunted in many different States and on many types of wild game birds. Our finished dogs have also been on a peg numerous times for private shoots.
Rarely will you ever be on a guided hunt with a dog as well trained and professionally finished as these dogs. Our Finished dogs are generally $7,500 and are typically two years old or older.

"Lit of the Nation" hails the creative ingenuity of UCSCA literary arts students. Inspired by the theme of 2004, create to elevate, the title of the publication alludes to the kindred creative spirit that unifies the pieces from conception to final revision.
In 2005, the student magazine featured compositions written along the theme reaching beyond myself.
Many of the works are extracts from lengthier compositions, and first lines are used for titles still under development at the time of publication.
The thumbnails that rotate at the top of each page are excerpted from the diverse stylings of the visual arts students.

Aetna Adds Colorado To Its Participation In Broadscale Medical Home Initiative
Aetna (NYSE: AET) has received approval from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation, one of the centers within the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), to join the multi-year Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC) initiative in Colorado on October 1, 2013. The CPC initiative aims to improve the quality and cost-efficiency of the care received by millions of Americans specifically by improving their access to excellent primary care. Earlier this year, Aetna was selected by the Innovation Center as a participating health plan in the New York and Ohio markets.
"Primary care practices play a vital role in our health care system and we are looking at ways to better support them in their efforts to coordinate care for their patients," said CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner.
"Aetna is excited to support this physician initiative that will lead to better health, better care, and better per capita cost," said Tom Dameron, president of Aetna's Mountain States. "We believe this approach will lead to standard quality and economic guidelines that physicians, insurers, Medicare and Medicaid can agree upon."
Through the CPC initiative, public and private payers both will pay the selected primary care practices bonus payments for enhanced primary care that must meet certain benchmarks typical of "medical homes." Each practice will receive resources to support enhanced care coordination activities, such as: offering longer and more flexible hours, using electronic health records, delivering preventive care, coordinating care with patients' other providers, engaging patients and caregivers in managing their own care, and providing individualized care for patients who have multiple chronic diseases. In addition, primary care practices participating in the CPC initiative will be eligible to share in health care savings experienced by public and private payers."We are pleased to collaborate with physicians, CMS and other payors to improve health care delivered to all Coloradans," said Tim Giess, Aetna's network director in Colorado.

Supreme Cuts 'Whispers In The Dark' Remixed With Excellence
I guess someone in marketing finally had a good idea and they bought a bunch of beer and psychotropic tea and got Brenmar (remember his work on the Micky Blanco track Wavvy?!), Physical Therapy (who are not to be confused with Brooklyn's DJ Physical Therapy, who makes some chill-wave-funk step tracks), Sich Mang (who currently work in the "wurkstep" genre after trying and discarding "jukestep," "wurkstyle," and "wurkkore" , I hope those other genres are not mad at them, but they've met this new genre you see…) and a few others to make remixes of the Supreme Cuts Whispers in The Dark.

Breton Get All Mixed Up With Lana Del Ray and D/R/U/G/S
Breton's remix of Lana Del Ray's National Anthem separates the vocals even further from the instrumental layer than the original. A visual analog would be a video of a ghost of Marilyn Monroe on Valium playing a Jackie O in a film that's set in 1968-69, that is years after the event that finishes the stupendous, gorgeous original video. This remix could be the jump-off point for a sequel video where Lana is Princess Di being chased through the dark streets of London by Waka Flocka who happens to have a rooster in his 'rari.

That's the feeling you get when you step inside the launch chamber of WhiteWater World's newest power slide, The Wedgie, cross your arms in near brace position and peer five storeys down.
The wildest doom drop of them all, when the trap door triggers it's a simple case of fast flesh on fibreglass as you plummet feet first down the translucent pipe and barrel through Australia's only human half coil. At the splash down pool the Aussie Cossie braking system kicks in and the fast tug on cheeks gives "rise" to the slide's bold name.
The Wedgie is not for the faint hearted and it's only on impact that you realise you've been "Wedgied by WhiteWater World".

text: I was a little disappointed by Scoop. I went to its Soho branch and there was not much choice of flavours. Its ice cream tastes pretty much like any good ice cream you can find in Italy but it is not really innovative. However it stands out for its amazing choice of cones (I am so glad I got the chocolate and coconut one!) and it's nice that you can get ice cream with crepes, waffles and brownies. I haven't tried the cakes but they look very good. Nevertheless I prefer Gelupo not only texture wise but also because of its more innovative choice of flavours.

Departamento de Estadística In this paper we propose a new class of asymmetric stochastic volatility (SV) models, which specifies the volatility as a function of the score of the distribution of returns conditional on volatilities based on the Generalized Autoregressive Score (GAS) model. Different specifications of the log-volatility are obtained by assuming different return error distributions. In particular, we consider three of the most popular distributions, namely, the Normal, Student-t and Generalized Error Distribution and derive the statistical properties of each of the corresponding score driven SV models. We show that some of the parameters cannot be property identified by the moments usually considered as to describe the stylized facts of financial returns, namely, excess kurtosis, autocorrelations of squares and cross-correlations between returns and future squared returns. The parameters of some restricted score driven SV models can be estimated adequately using a MCMC procedure. Finally, the new proposed models are fitted to financial returns and evaluated in terms of their in-sample and out-of-sample performance 2014-10-01T00:00:00Z Particle learning for Bayesian non-parametric Markov Switching Stochastic Volatility model http://hdl.handle.net/10016/19576 Particle learning for Bayesian non-parametric Markov Switching Stochastic Volatility model Virbickaite, Audrone; Lopes, Hedibert F.; Ausín, Concepcion; Galeano, Pedro Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Departamento de Estadística This paper designs a Particle Learning (PL) algorithm for estimation of Bayesian nonparametric Stochastic Volatility (SV) models for financial data. The performance of this particle method is then compared with the standard Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods for non-parametric SV models. PL performs as well as MCMC, and at the same time allows for on-line type inference. The posterior distributions are updated as new data is observed, which is prohibitively costly using MCMC. Further, a new non-parametric SV model is proposed that incorporates Markov switching jumps.The proposed model is estimated by using PL and tested on simulated data. Finally, the performance of the two non-parametric SV models, with and without Markov switching, is compared by using real financial time series. The results show that including a Markov switching specification provides higher predictive power in the tails of the distribution. 2014-10-01T00:00:00Z A Bootstrap Likelihood approach to Bayesian Computation http://hdl.handle.net/10016/19328 A Bootstrap Likelihood approach to Bayesian Computation Zhu, Weixuan; Marín Diazaraque, Juan Miguel; Leisen, Fabrizio Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Departamento de Estadística Recently, an increasingly amount of literature focused on Bayesian computational methods to address problems with intractable likelihood. These algorithms are known as Approximate Bayesian Computational (ABC) methods. One of the problems of these algorithms is that the performance depends on the tuning of some parameters, such as the summary statistics, distance and tolerance level. To bypass this problem, an alternative method based on empirical likelihood was introduced by Mengersen et al. (2013), which can be easily implemented when a set of constraints, related with the moments of the distribution, is known. However, the choice of the constraints is crucial and sometimes challenging in the sense that it determines the convergence property of the empirical likelihood. To overcome this problem, we propose an alternative method based on a bootstrap likelihood approach. The method is easy to implement and in some cases it is faster than the other approaches. The performance of the algorithm is illustrated with examples in Population Genetics, Time Series and a recent non-explicit bivariate Beta distribution. Finally, we test the method on simulated and real data random fields. 2014-09-01T00:00:00Z Disentangled jump-robust realized covariances and correlations with non-synchronous prices http://hdl.handle.net/10016/19309 Disentangled jump-robust realized covariances and correlations with non-synchronous prices Vander Elst, Harry; Veredas, David Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Departamento de Estadística We study the class of disentangled realized estimators for the integrated covariance matrix of Brownian semimartingales with finite activity jumps. These estimators separate correlations and volatilities. We analyse – in a through Monte Carlo study – different combinations of quantile-and-median-based realized volatilities, and four estimators of realized correlations with three synchronization schemes. Their finite sample properties are studied under four data generating processes and in presence, or not, of microstructure noise, and under synchronous and asynchronous trading. The main finding is that pre-averaged disentangled estimators provide a precise, computationally efficient and easy alternative to measure integrated covariances on basis of noisy and asynchronous prices. Moreover, the gain is not only statistical but also financial. A minimum variance portfolio application shows the superiority of the disentangled realized estimators in terms of numerous performance metrics. 2014-09-08T00:00:00Z

Hi Ladies,
My mom is throwing me my baby shower in a few weeks. I'm trying to think of some gift ideas beyond a spa treatment, more on the sentimental side. (A massage, pedicure, manicure are all great- and I'm completely willing to go in that direction, I just want to explore the more emotional side first.) Does any one have any ideas?
Get her something personalized that says Grandma or something to that effect. I got my MIL this as a gift and she loves it:
She will be going by Memere as opposed to Grandma or Nana, so I got it personalized to say "Memere & Pepere Xxxxxx's
My MIL is a cooking fanatic, and just had her kitchen redone so I made her a gift basket full of kitchen stuff like wooden utinsels, cookbooks, etc. Then to make it a little more special, I hand painted a small wooden cutting board to hang that says Grandma's kitchen & also included a grandma photo frame.
My mom & I threw a shower for my sister. My sister gave me massage envy gift cards, which is my favorite thing to get so she nailed it. She gave my mom a Grandma frame amnd something else, but I can't remember what. I have not yet figured out what to give them for hosting my shower. Add that to the list of things to do.

Tilting at Windmills
BBC NEWS | UK | Wind turbines save '£10 a year'
Many people would save just £10 a year on their electricity bill by installing a wind turbine on their roof, according to a leading turbine technology firm.
This means that it would take 150 years for turbines- costing £1,500 - to save enough money to pay for themselves.
Did Dave ever get round to putting one up to show his sound grasp of economics and investment returns?
