Pneumatic Air System Schematic
Compressed Air System Components Without them, we have no Pneumatic Control!
PNEUMATIC AIR SYSTEMS use compressed air to supply energy for the operation of valves, motors, relays and other pneumatic control equipment.They are made up of the following elements: (1) A source of clean, dry compressed air, (2) a pressure reducing station, (3) Air Lines (called mains), (4) Controlling Instruments; (5) Intermediate devices, (6) Branch lines and (7) Controlled devices.
The atmosphere that surrounds us, especially in urban/industrial areas, contains an astonishing amount of pollutants including water and oil vapors - all of which are ingested into, and concentrated by the air compressor. Pneumatic controls are supersensitive to these contaminants. To assure a degree of reliability at reasonable maintenance costs - only clean, dry, oil free air must be delivered to the control system.
A brief review of the air system components will help you determine their need in the Pneumatic Air System.
- Air Compressor: The capacity in Actual Cubic Inches Per Minute (or Actual Cubic Feet Per Minute) should be two to three times the actual system requirement, preferably divided between two compressors or a duplex unit to assure a continuous air supply. Tank size should be large enough to limit operating cycles to less than 10 per hour. This maximizes dwell time in the receiver, reducing compressed air temperature and condensing as much water as possible in the tank before it enters the air system.
- Compressor Intake Filter: Clean air starts here! Compressor filter/silencers should be equipped with replaceable pleated paper (or polyester) elements of about a 10 micron rating, inspected and replaced periodically.
- Pre-Filter: Whether or not an air dryer is used, a particulate filter (not exceeding 3 microns absolute) is recommended to extend the life of the oil removal filter. It must be installed ahead of the air dryer.
- Pressure Regulators: Used to reduce the tank storage pressure (70-90 psi) to the pneumatic main pressure of 25 psi. Models are available in miniature, standard and precision.
- Coalescing (Oil Removal) Filter: A submicronic filter of sufficient capacity for the entire system must be installed when a lubricated air compressor is installed. Coalescing elements will function at full efficiency almost indefinitely if the bulk of particulates has been previously removed. On old pneumatic systems, most air lines are not protected by a system oil removal filter. The coalescing filter will deliver 99% oil free air to a new system but cannot immediately correct a system already contaminated with oil. To protect your controls, install in-line disposable filters (DF114) on all your branch lines.
- Dryer, Refrigerated Type: To insure a completely dry air system drastic reduction of the air temperature is necessary to condense the water vapor in the compressed air. A 35° pipeline dewpoint is normally recommended.
- Safety Relief Valves: One adjustable installed on the compressor tank and one-non-adjustable on each air main to protect your controls against 90 psi damage if the pressure regulator fails.
Keep It Clean!
Most service problems start with dirty air! Reduce your problems by regularly maintaining your filters.
A source of clean, dry, oil-free air is essential to the proper operation of a pneumatic control system. The devices within the system should operate virtually trouble-free if a preventative maintenance program is followed. This page provides a suggested schedule for maintaining the air station and devices within the system.

Blum is gambling with other people's money that he can raise a big chunk of capital and participate with AMGN with a hoped for larger share of the pie. Remember that AMGN's decision makers place a high bar to committing to an expensive Phase III trial. Those on this board who thinks it's a slam dunk also thought the recently release data would be a home run(not so).
The data was favorable and there is no doubt Amgen will stay for a Phase 3. The dyspnea is a red herring as no one thought that dyspnea was a good criteria over the short time. The big success was the very minimal increase in heart failure (troponin blood levels), which was a fear going in. Cardiac output was increased with a slowing of the heart rate (very good) and increased output volume. Once they present in the USA later this month the truth will be well known and the SP will recover nicely. Some are getting in at very low levels, but when the SP is $50 it won't make much of a difference except to those who like to brag about the insignificant.
when exactly will it hit 50 pps lets be sensible with targets shall we
Agree dc, this board has a lot of new chumps, most of them. The new monkeys will get to know who Blum is as time runs. Saludos amigos! Including those new chumps!
Right now sitting at $1.366666666 PRE-R/S....I am glad I sold at $2.06. Not a nice trend here. That 6/1 split really kept it from getting it delisted. Missed the chance to see $4 or higher. Heck! We may still see $30 BY THE END of 2014, if RESULTS are considered a blow off to Novartis heart drug.

The Wesak Festival takes places in the Himalayan Mountains and is the celebration of the Buddha's birthday. Traditionally it takes place on the first full moon in May. The last several years in particular through the Goddess Light Teleconferences we have really had some amazing energies that we can tap into around this experience.
Wesak is a gathering that takes place in a high meadow in the Himalayan Mountains and is a time when Buddha & Christ return to earth to add their light for all to see and experience.
I remember some of the first times I channeled for the Wesak it was as if we gathered along the sides and top of the mountains that surround this high meadow within the mountains. My perception is that we have moved down the mountains becoming more and more a part of the...
Whenever I channel the Goddess in one of the Free Teleconferences, I'm amazed at the energy, the vibration, the messages that she gives us. Over the years I KNOW it's had a tremendous impact upon me in so many different ways. I have no doubt that many of the people who've followed these channels feel the same way.
How many times to read something and it's in and out of your mind? How often do you read something just the once; but you never forget what it was about? This is part of what I find so interesting about life. And then, there energy of intention. For all those many times that you see a title or billboard or a book cover and never go any further; yet it still sticks in your mind.
This is the energy of intention. Anything...
Anniversaries are a really fun time to experience. Of course one can have an anniversary for any reason but for me, I'm talking about the time I've been channeling the Goddess Light Free Teleconference. It's been 13 years of twice a month, wow!
During that time I've seen SUCH an evolution in the energies that I channel. The foundation for the teleconferences and my website is the Goddess of Creation; the feminine aspect of God. I first began to channel her in 2001 as the earth was naturally seeking balance of the masculine and feminine. I then published a website and began the teleconference on 2 Sunday's of the month.
I still remember the first few that comprised 2-3 of my good friends! There wasn't Facebook. Google was...
The Fairies were one of the first groups of elementals that I opened up to receive as I was opening to channel. I still remember the sense of seeing sparkles. I still remember the feeling of being drawn to sit outside and most especially in the woods. They always have been warm, loving and protective of me.
I remember people talking about them and that the elementals were no longer available to us. I thought 'hmm, really, because I can feel them'. As I spoke with them in more detail I was told that actually many, many years ago they went into the earth because it wasn't safe for them to be upon the earth. Apparently at one time they very much a part of life upon the earth. They walked, talked and interacted with humans. Then as the energy of the...
I find that the Goddess of Creation speaks of transparence again and again. It occurs to me that there are probably a number of things happening here that we don't fully comprehend! Well, isn't that true with so many things pertaining to ascension!!
Transparency is something that affects our lives in many different ways. As the Goddess spoke of it in this channel, she was speaking about the ways our energy becomes lighter, thinner the higher the vibration.
Think back to a time when you were solidly within the 3rd dimension. I can choose say the '80's or even early '90's and if you remember you had to make a plan and then push, talk, network; make a lot of effort in order for things to happen. It's as if you are moving through thicker time/ space...

LA County sheriff's deputy shoots fleeing suspect
CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says a deputy has shot and killed a carjacking suspect who fired a semi-automatic weapon while trying to escape.
The sheriff's department says the shooting occurred Saturday around 1:30 p.m. when deputies received a call of a carjacking in the City of Industry by an armed suspect.
The deputies shortly after spotted the stolen car and tried to pull it over on a traffic stop. The driver refused to yield and led deputies on a chase.
The suspect ended the chase and got out of the car, firing at the deputies, who returned fire, killing the suspect.
The incident is under investigation by the sheriff's homicide bureau.

Hi Panda,
You sound like a very sincere person with good personal boundaries. You sound like you're willing to learn about different ways of doing things, and you already have a pretty good idea of what works for you.
That's a pretty good place to be. It sounds like there are some differences between you and the girl you care about that may make you two incompatible in some ways. It sounds like you already know that might be true, and you plan to talk more about it this weekend.
I'll share with you a few things I've learned over the years. The most important thing you can do for yourself is get to know who you are. It sounds like you're making really good progress with that.
This world is full of people who do different things in different ways. As you live, you will come across people who like you, and like the things you do. You will also come across those who don't like you. It's easy to relate to those who like you.
What about those who don't? They will have a variety of ways of letting you know - a look, a comment, doing something, etc. As long as you are being who you truly are (or really trying to be) with honesty and integrity, and you know you are not trying to hurt someone with your actions, the best way to handle criticism is to be aware of it and let it slide off your back, while always being pleasant to the person criticizing you. Yes, I really did say that. Be nice back to them. Self confidence always wants to be pleasant.
What does it really mean to let criticism slide off you? It means being able understand and acknowledge what the person is saying to you and respect the fact that they wanted to say it, while at the same time knowing their opinion does not make you any different than you were before they spoke.
I hope you have a great weekend. I hope you continue to make the effort to learn who you are and what works for you.

Iris and Walter, Lost and Found (Iris And Walter)
by Elissa Haden Guest
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A little too predictable, and a little too sappy. Really, no one would have even a moment of anger at Iris for not keeping the harmonica out of reach of the baby, when she already knew Rosie was inquisitive and agile? I find that implausible, unrealistic - and my frustration with all that made me enjoy the story less. Still, there are many nice entries in the series and I don't mean to bash the whole set.

United States v. Great Northern Ry. Co.
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
United States v. Great Northern Ry. Co., 343 U.S. 562 (1952)
United States v. Great Northern Railway Co.
No. 151
Argued January 8-9, 1952
Decided June 2, 1952
Under § 15(3) and (6) of the Interstate Commerce Act, the Interstate Commerce Commission ordered the establishment of joint rates by certain carriers, in lieu of combination rates over through routes which were already in existence, and ordered a division of revenues between the carriers for the purpose of providing additional revenue for a financially weak participating carrier.
Held: the District Court erred in enjoining the Commission's order as prohibited by § 15(4). Pp. 343 U. S. 563-578.
1. The Commission's order did not establish any through route, but did establish joint rates for the admitted purpose of assisting the particular carrier to meet its financial needs. Pp. 343 U. S. 569-570.
2. The prohibition of § 15(4) against establishing through routes for the purpose of assisting a carrier to meet its financial needs is not limited to cases where short-hauling is a problem. Pp. 343 U. S. 570-572.
3. The financial needs prohibition of § 15(4) does not limit the Commission's power to establish joint rates generally, but deals only with the power to establish a "through route and joint rates applicable thereto," i.e., those joint rates applicable to a through route established by the Commission. Since the Commission did not establish the through routes, the prohibition of § 15(4) is inapplicable. Pp. 343 U. S. 572-577.
4. The Commission is empowered, in the public interest, to cause a redistribution of revenue between two carriers participating in transportation of through traffic, and may in that connection consider a branch line's value in producing profitable traffic for a railroad. P. 343 U. S. 577.
5. Since the Commission's order in this case (which also denied the particular carrier's application to abandon its line) was attacked also for want of essential findings and for lack of substantial evidence justifying continued operation of the line, and since it is the practice of this Court not to review an administrative record
in the first instance after finding that a lower court has applied an incorrect principle of law, the case is remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. Pp. 343 U. S. 577-578.
96 F.Supp. 298 reversed.
In a suit to enjoin enforcement of an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission, 275 I.C.C. 512, a three-judge District Court granted the relief prayed. 96 F.Supp. 298. On direct appeal to this Court under 28 U.S.C. § 1253, reversed and remanded, p. 343 U. S. 578.

Now I know why weathermen take vacations this time of the year — with little change in our weather for a few days and no storms on the horizon, there's not much to talk about.
The forecast is an easy one, sunshine and warm temperatures and then a bit of cooling with those morning clouds midweek. No rain on the horizon for the next couple of weeks — maybe the rest of the month. But living here in the great Northwest, we always know that may be subject to change.
So, nothing to talk about, eh? I can always find something weather-related to talk about. How about reviewing rainfall amounts from June as promised from your friends and neighbors?
I had 2.10 inches here in Salmon Creek; Claudia Chiasson, Carson, 1.74 inches; Tyler Mode, Battle Ground, 2.54 inches; Judy Darke, Felida, 1.65 inches; Bob Starr, Cougar, 3.39 inches; Robin Ruzek, Lakeshore, 1.88 inches; Pete Conrad near Tukes Mountain, 2.52 inches; Merle Moore, two miles west of Yacolt 3.47 inches; Bill Sobolewski, Livingston Mountain, 3.17 inches; Tom Dixon, Amboy, 3.11 inches; Nancy Ellifrit, Mount Vista, 2.71 inches; and Ellen Smart, Ridgefield, 1.75 inches.
Rainfall was just about average for the month of June. July is our driest month, with just under an inch of rain likely here in Vancouver. So unless we get a surprise thunderstorm or some marine drizzle here and there, the rainfall reports next month probably won't be much.
The Fourth of July turned out as good as can be expected with mostly sunny skies after the morning clouds, and warm temperatures. It was a little cool and breezy at fireworks time but not too bad. Typical jacket or sweatshirt event.
In my column of July 7, 2011, I wrote: "The snowmelt is still finding its way down regional rivers. Early this week, Timberline Lodge on Oregon's Mount Hood still had 100 inches of snow on the ground." Not so this year, but there's still some white showing on both Hood and St. Helens.
Enjoy the pleasant week ahead!

Update on BanzragchBanzragch is a-34-year-old married guy who has 4 children and lives with his family in the outer ger district of Ulaanbaatar city, Mongolia.
Banzragch runs a taxi business, full day, and his spouse operates a seasonal fruit selling business. Her business continues from May 1st to October 30th. Their last year's business income was used for house recovery.
Thus, Banzragch is requesting a 1,000,000 Mongolian Tugriks (MNT) loan to purchase a variety of fruits to sell in his wife's small sales stall.
Banzragch is very trusted and a repeat Kiva client. This picture was captured on the 2nd of May.
Previous Loan DetailsBanzragch is 33 years old and lives with his mother, wife, and his four children, ages 2 to 15, in Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia. His family lives in his mother's small house, in the outer ger districts of the city. His oldest son and daughter attend school, while his mother is retire... More from Banzragch's previous loan »
Additional Information
About TranscapitalTranscapital is one of the leading non-bank financial institutions (NBFI) in Mongolia. Through 12 branches, it serves mainly urban and semi-urban microfinance clients, including a growing number of migrants in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar. Of its clients, almost 68% are women and 60% live in ger districts, settlements made up of houses and traditional Mongolian felt tents that lack basic infrastructure.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

But Abby is in for a few surprises. When she travels to claim her inheritance, instead of finding the elegant mansion of her childhood memories, she discovers her aunt's home in shambles, and her Aunt's best friend, Belle, who appears to be staying as a permanent guest. Although everything about Primrose may have changed, Abby still has her memories -- especially those lazy summer days and warm summer nights spent with Alex Kane -- a past love she can't forget....

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Jan 10 New York-based investment bank Moelis & Co is working with Goldman Sachs Group Inc and others on a potential initial public offering, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Founded by Wall Street dealmaker Ken Moelis, the bank is assembling paperwork for its IPO, and working on it with law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and other advisers, the Journal said.
Moelis in November said it hired former Citigroup Inc banker Jonathan Kaye to focus on its merger and acquisition practice and shareholder activism, in a sign that investment banks want to be able to advise public companies as shareholders look to shake up boardrooms.
The firm was founded in March 2007, after Ken Moelis stepped down from his role as an investment banker at Swiss financial giant UBS AG to open his own investment banking shop.
Ken Moelis and other employees together hold an 85 percent stake in the company, while another 10 percent of the firm is owned by institutional investors, people familiar with the IPO plans told the WSJ.
Andrea Hurst, a media relations representative at Moelis, was not immediately available to comment.
Moelis may not decide to go public at this time and instead opt for other ways of raising funds, but the bank sees a potential opportunity for an IPO soon, in the wake of a strong stock-offering market, the people told the WSJ.
Last year ranked as the strongest for U.S. IPOs since 2000 by dollar volume, according to Thomson Reuters data, as large floats such as Hilton Worldwide Holdings and Plains GP Holdings lifted deal proceeds up 21 percent from 2012 to $56.4 billion in 2013.
Last year also marked Moelis's best year of revenue, as the firm advised on multibillion-dollar deals that included ketchup-maker H.J. Heinz Co's takeover by Berkshire Hathaway Inc and Brazilian private-equity firm 3G Capital, the WSJ said, citing the people.

Slippers Save Man's Life
Never underestimate what slippers can do at the right moment, as there is a man out there who owes his life to one such pair.
If you are in need further persuasion, allow us to introduce you to Wiggo Koffed. As a cook on the Boston trawling ship named "Spray," Koffed once got caught up in his fishing lines at the worst possible moment, just as a 600-pound shark grabbed the bait and started pulling on it with maximum power and force.
The shark's sudden pull caused the fishing line to act as if it was a cobra, uncontrollably dragging the unfortunate cook over the side. But that's when his luck took a turn for the better, as Wiggo was wearing slippers. How can that possibly be of any use, you might ask?
Well, the slippers aren't firmly attached to the person wearing them, so they fell off cook's feet and swished into the water on their own, basically saving the man's life, seeing that he would have certainly met his maker if he fell into the shark-infested bay.
"Had I been wearing shoes, I surely would have been carried overboard," the cook told the Norwalk Hour after the terrifying experience.
So it was either die with your boots on or live with the slippers for Koffed, and thankfully he made the right choice. Whether it's the classic bunny slippers, geeky Star Wars slippers or the killer dragon slippers you prefer, make sure you treat them well, as they just might prove as a lifesaver.

The Healing Power of Fuzzy Slippers
Earlier this summer, we received pictures of patients at the Cancer Center of North Carolina wearing our slippers (shown below). We were ecstatic that our slippers were being used to comfort those in pain, and bring a smile to the faces of those in need of hope and cheer. We reached out to Amy Edwards, the amazing woman who sent us these photos, for the full story.
H2P: Could you please give me a quick introduction to the work you do with the the Cancer Centers of North Carolina?
AE: I do not work at the CCNC. My family and friends have been the recipients of the kind, professional care and advanced chemotherapy they offer to those battling and surviving cancer. My husband and I donate what we can when we can to help patients and caregivers "in the moment".
The oncologists and chemotherapy suite at Cancer Centers of North Carolina treated my sister for breast cancer over five years ago, and again two years ago when my husband was diagnosed with colon cancer. Several more of my friends and co-workers have been treated there before and since my husband was treated.
In the spring of 2010 my husband began his chemotherapy. Every two weeks he took his treatments and we both sat together in the chemo suite with about forty other patients and caregivers. There were nurses and doctors coming and going, patients getting lab test. Good news, bad news… It is a scary and lonely time.
Every ray of sunshine is appreciated, every smile a comfort. Attitude is important. Sometimes it's all you have. I was fighting for my husband and watching others fight too. I knew I couldn't "cure" cancer. When I was in the middle of the fight the little things mattered the most to my husband and to me. You need to smile and laugh when you are fighting cancer! Love and laughter are as powerful as anything coming out of that IV bag. So, I took cookies and hot doughnuts to give out while my husband was being treated. I did it to pass my time, keep my mind off our fight for a few minutes and to share some smiles with others in the suite.
Volunteers assist in the chemo suite getting warm blankets for the patients, handing out donated goodies, sitting and listening when someone needs a friendly ear. Former patients, family and friends of both those who have battled and won and battled and lost – all come to give comfort, encouragement and smiles to those now sitting in the chairs. My husband volunteers and gives back the smiles and soft conversations he was so lovingly given.

H2P: How did you come to find BunnySlippers.com?
AE: I found BunnySlippers.com in 2008. A dear old friend of mine in NYC was in the final stages of a terminal disease. Other than a fun conversation now and again, there was not much I could do to help. I felt so helpless. He was a real character, a jokester extraordinaire. So, when he was in for a long hospital stay, I found BunnySlippers.com, ordered flamingo slippers, and had them delivered to him in the hospital. He laughed and laughed, and sported those flamingos all over those halls. They were a hit. He came back to the hospital many times before he passed. Those flamingo slippers became as infamous as he was at that hospital.
When my husband had finished his chemo, I felt I had to give back. I wanted to give something to bring sunshine, to bring smiles to chemo patients in the darkest of times, something fun! Love and laughter kept us strong. Love kept my husband fighting and me sane! Yep, you can have fun while fighting cancer!
What else could I do? I wanted it to be something more than soft hats and cookies and doughnuts. I thought back to hearing my friend in NYC in the hospital just howling with laughter over his slippers.
A side effect of chemo for many patients is awful nerve pain in their feet. Bam! That was it! Why not comfort their painful, burning feet and brighten their day with comfy, silly, fuzzy animal slippers? TA-DA! Bunnyslippers.com to the rescue! I emailed Travis and he helped me figure out how to deliver my first pairs to CCNC. The smiles and giggles were priceless. It was just what the doctors ordered!
H2P: What was your impetus for purchasing animal slippers for the patients?
AE: I've already spoken about this a bit. There are a lot of people doing a lot of things to fight cancer, find a cure for cancer and help those who are living with it every day.
I do what I can one smile at a time. Just because you have cancer doesn't mean you stop living. You need to seize every moment. You need to laugh even louder than normal. So, I try to give back the love that sustained my husband and I during our fight. One chemo suite, four dozen doughnuts, a few pairs of silly, warm, fuzzy animal slippers from BunnySlippers.com at a time. Little things mean so much. The moment we are in is all we really have. Every giggle counts, every kind gesture counts. Every homemade chocolate chip cookie counts. Every pair of SURPRISE silly, warm, fuzzy animal slippers on feet that are in pain and bring a smile to the face of the unsuspecting patient COUNTS!

H2P: How have they been received by folks at the Cancer Centers of North Carolina?
AE: The pictures are just a hint of the joy they brought!
The smiles and giggles on those I could give slippers to were priceless! The smiles on the nurses' faces, the caregivers and doctors! I just wish I could give more pairs. It's hard not to have enough to go around. But every silly pair I can give out are worth their loving, healing weight in gold.
H2P: Do you have any links or additional information for folks who would like to support or learn more about the Cancer Centers of North Carolina?
AE: I have two, actually:
I encourage every BunnySlippers.com fan to consider buying an extra pair or two or dozen and donate them to the cancer ward at their local hospital or chemo treatment center. Every pair of fuzzy silly slippers from BunnySlippers.com is more than just a pair of comfy, cool novelty slippers. They are fuzzy, warm, silly bunny or frog or bear or flamingo hugs of healing love to those who receive them. My heart knows it's true.
H2P: Thanks to Amy for courageously sharing her stories with us and our readers!

Thousands of pampered dogs and their humans packed in the Seattle Kennel Club Dog Show Saturday at the Qwest Field Event Center.
What's the difference between a metrosexual and a dog at Saturday's Seattle Kennel Club Dog Show?
The dog is better-groomed and wearing more product.
About 1,900 of the four-legged obsessions were entered in the show at the Qwest Field Event Center, where an estimated 10,000 spectators came to watch them get paraded, run through obstacle courses and even danced with.
In the big preparation area, Fiona stood waiting with her bangs up in barrettes. Fussing with her bearded collie in the minutes before agility and herding competitions, Jackye Dunn of Tacoma said it took three hours to groom Fiona — whose long hair made her look as if she possessed yeti DNA.

Asked how long it took to do her own hair, Dunn said about three minutes.
Nearby, Vicki Graves of Puyallup was putting the finishing touches on her enormous, drooling, bibbed St. Bernard, Bandit — whose head was the size of a medicine ball. "Thank you!" Graves said, explaining that a huge head is a desirable trait in the breed.
If some of the rituals of the event — which concludes today — can appear absurd to outsiders or fans of Christopher Guest's "Best in Show" movie, Graves explained, "I'm addicted to dog shows. They're not any different than golf shows or sailing shows. I'm addicted to the competition."
A number of the dogs sported names as exotic as their appearances. Hailing from Bothell, In Style Goes to Paris — "Nico" for short — required four hours of primping Friday and three on Saturday for 2 ½ minutes of show, according to groomer Candace Hume and assistant groomer Tim Ghezzi.
But it paid off for In Style Goes to Paris/aka Nico, who won best of the boys in the standard poodle category.
Running around the ramps, posts, hurdles, tubes and teeterboard of the agility course, many owners looked much more spent than their sometimes-recalcitrant dogs.
"I am totally winded," admitted Carole Davis, of Mount Vernon, after completing the course with her Shetland sheepdog, Wingold Moment in Time — who also answered to the less-unwieldy "Tyke."
But the sights and sounds (and smells) weren't just amid the competitions. Booths sold all manner of dog-related clothing, food and specialized paraphernalia. The Pooper Trooper booth's motto boasted, "We take the 'ICK' out of dog ownership." Perhaps not entirely: Passers-by took business cards from a cardholder in the shape of a very realistic-looking dropping.
Among artists specializing in portraits of dogs, Jennifer Bloom said she makes a point of depicting pets in the environments where they're happiest. As an example, she pointed to her painting of a beagle standing in garbage.
Winding her way through all this, a little girl with her face painted like a cat. Perhaps a preadolescent sign of rebellion.

As Grubb Struggles, Its Chief Weighs Options
Grubb & Ellis Co., one of the oldest commercial-real-estate brokerages in the U.S., was facing a bleak future in 1996 when Detroit real-estate investor C. Michael Kojaian rode to the rescue, helping to recapitalize it by buying a 5% stake. The company is on "a solid foundation," he said at the time.
But now it is Mr. Kojaian, the firm's chairman and largest shareholder, who is looking for help. After sustaining a $78.4 million loss in 2010 and straining under its debt, Grubb said last month that it has hired JMP Securities to help it explore "strategic options," including a sale or merger. Mr. Kojaian owns 32.8% of Grubb's common stock if he converts all of his preferred shares.
One possible buyer is private-equity investor Colony Capital LLC. Grubb disclosed last week that Colony provided it an $18 million short-term loan at an 11% interest rate. In addition, Colony received a 60-day exclusive period to evaluate a potential larger investment with Grubb. If such a deal is struck, Grubb has 25 days to find a better offer. Colony declined to comment.
The moves come at a time when Grubb, of Santa Ana, Calif., has fallen behind its competitors. While the stocks of firms like CB Richard Ellis Group Inc. CBG 2.60 % and Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. JLL 2.30 % are trading near 52-week highs, Grubb's shares have been struggling below $2 for much of the past year and below $1 for the past two weeks. In 4 p.m. New York Stock Exchange composite trading Tuesday, Grubb's shares rose 1.4%, to 72 cents.
Grubb has struggled partly because its peers are larger and more profitable than it is. In comparison to Grubb's 2010 net loss of $78.4 million, CBRE posted $201.3 million of net income last year and Jones Lang posted $154 million. Brandon Dobell, an analyst who tracks brokerages for William Blair & Co., summed up Grubb's struggles as "a convergence of ill-timed decisions, a very difficult commercial real-estate environment and the challenges of competing with some very large and specialized players."
A chief concern is Grubb's debt, which totals $30 million of convertible bonds, $16 million in corporate debt, a $10 million mortgage and $90 million of preferred stock. The brokerage's effort to get holders of the convertible bonds to agree to changes in default guidelines has met resistance.
For his part, Mr. Kojaian remains bullish about Grubb. He declined to comment on whether he might again recapitalize the company or take it private. "We feel the company is very well-positioned," he said in an interview Monday.
Industry analysts and executives tie Grubb's problems partly to the commercial-real-estate market, which during the downturn has seen a drop in leasing and sales activity. While volume has picked up in the past six months, it still is far from where it was during the boom.
At the same time, Grubb has suffered by not being as successful as its competitors as rolling out new services. Both Jones Lang LaSalle and CBRE expanded into selling services to corporations eager to outsource real-estate operations.
Rather than expanding into this area, Grubb opted to branch into managing real-estate investments. It did so by merging in 2007 with closely held NNN Realty Advisors. NNN, formerly called Triple Net Properties, specialized in forming and managing real-estate investment trusts and managing tenant-in-common, or TIC, deals in which small investors collectively invest in commercial properties.
Since the merger, the TIC business has weighed on Grubb's financial results. The number of TIC deals, as well as fees resulting from them, plummeted in the recession because many small investors soured on such deals.
Last year, Grubb's TIC division generated a $6 million loss in operating income, according to research by JMP Securities.
When asked who spearheaded Grubb's merger with NNN, Mr. Kojaian said the entire board made the decision. "I look through the windshield, not the rearview mirror," he said. "We made a good decision at the time."
Grubb's latest travails cap 30 years of upheaval for the firm. Founded as a residential brokerage in 1958, Grubb went on an acquisition spree in the 1980s, buying brokerages in major markets to expand nationally. However, the company failed to meld those operations with its own, couldn't retain some brokers and buckled under debt from the purchases.
By 1992, Grubb, facing financial ruin, restructured debt from its acquisition by selling a 40% stake to Warburg, Pincus Investors LP and converting debt held by Prudential Insurance Co. of America to a 27% equity stake. In 1996, Mr. Kojaian joined as an investor, receiving stock in exchange for providing $10 million that Grubb used to pay down its debt.
The private real-estate empire owned by Mr. Kojaian, 49 years old, has ranged over the years from eight million square feet to 20 million, mostly in office and industrial properties.
Critics of Grubb said the firm suffered from lack of direction before and after Mr. Kojaian got involved. In the past 10 years, the brokerage has changed CEOs six times. Current CEO Thomas D'Arcy joined in 2009. Grubb & Ellis declined to comment about its CEO turnover.
In recent years, in a bid to boost its brokerage business, Grubb has increased the "split," the percentage of commissions that brokers get to keep. The firm hoped to attract better brokers by offering them roughly 65%, compared with the 50% to 55% being offered by other firms. But the move cut into the firm's profits.
Mr. Kojaian remains optimistic. "We're positioned to be one of the beneficiaries of the improvement in the marketplace," he said.
