What is Arts Ambassadors?
Arts Ambassadors is an after school mentorship program, inviting high school junior and seniors to engage in a multi multifaceted exploration of contemporary public art and social engagement. Led by guest artists and art professionals from More Art and the School of Visual Arts (SVA), the program utilizes the thematic lens of 'socially engaged art' to guide students through the conceptualization, artistic production, curation, and exhibition of their own public art proposals. Past students have developed infographics, public space interventions, posters, sticker and social media campaigns, sculptural maquettes, and website designs.
In a highly vibrant atmosphere, the Arts Ambassadors program will prepare participants to embark on an informed path towards an education or career in the contemporary art world.
Arts Ambassadors is not currently accepting applications. For more information about upcoming sessions, please Zoey Hart, Education Coordinator: firstname.lastname@example.com

NuCool technology refrigerator
It's nice when you can buy something you want and get something that makes you feel good about yourself, too. If you're in the market for a compact fridge to fit in a small space--a bar, a dorm room, or an office, for example--consider a coolant-free 1.7 cubic foot fridge featuring Haier America's NuCool technology.
NuCool is a new technology that lets your compact fridge run as low as 37 degrees (colder than past refrigerant-free models allowed). So the only green you'll see will be the eco-friendly kind, not the disgusting mold-in-the-back-of-the-fridge kind. NuCool doesn't use a compressor and runs quietly--and it does it all with ultralow power consumption.
You can find the compact fridge in white or black. It's lightweight and easy to move and can store 2-liter soda bottles. The door can open right or left, and the adjustable thermostat and auto-defrost features will keep all your foods at the proper temperature. The fridge retails for less than $100, which makes it an affordable gift for the college student in your life.

Linolada Coconut launch
Advertising campaign / Web design
Podravka, 2016.
Podravka expanded its product line of puddings and creamy spreads with a new coconut flavour. Before launching a promotional campaign the products were distributed to a small number of stores. People who bought and tried the product started sharing photos and product reviews on social media. This fired a big online discussion about the taste of the new coconut flavoured spread and where to buy it. Our job was to create a product launch campaign in a most unusual situation where users already started the communication. We decided to build on this organic buzz on social media. A website was designed to capture all user generated content - photos, reviews and comments. Our goal was to show the visitor this product is new, exciting and popular. The website also invited visitors to try the product, create their own content and join the discussion. In the first two months the sales of Linolada coconut spread exceeded plans for over 600%.

"If we look at the fact, we shall find that the great inventions of the age are not, with us at least, always produced in universities." Charles Babbage, born 26 December 1791.
"The light microscope opened the first gate to microcosm. The electron microscope opened the second gate to microcosm. What will we find opening the third gate?" Ernst Ruska, born 25 December 1906.
"My object has been, first to discover correct principles and then to suggest their practical development." James Prescott Joule, born 24 December 1818.
"You cannot possess the truth, you can only search for it." Albert Jacquard, born 23 December 1925.
"This fact, that all charges are integral multiples of a fundamental unit, is still one of the unexplained puzzles of fundamental physics. It does not in any way contradict electromagnetic theory, but it is not predicted by it, and until we have a more fundamental theory that explains it, we shall not feel that we really understand electromagnetic phenomena thoroughly. Presumably its explanation will not come until we understand quantum theory more thoroughly than we do at present." John Clarke Slater, born 22 December 1900.
"A surprising number of physicists are into mountain hiking, and the combination of strenuous physical activity, fresh mountain air and breathtaking views of the Alps is useful to physicists because it is such a contrast to sitting at a table doing calculations." Cecile DeWitt Morette, born 21 December 1922.
"Of course, we must avoid postulating a new element for each new phenomenon. But an equally serious mistake is to admit into the theory only those elements which can now be observed. For the purpose of a theory is not only to correlate the results of observations that we already know how to make, but also to suggest the need for new kinds of observations and to predict their results. In fact, the better a theory is able to suggest the need for new kinds of observations and to predict their results correctly, the more confidence we have that this theory is likely to be good representation of the actual properties of matter and not simply an empirical system especially chosen in such a way as to correlate a group of already known facts." David Bohm, born 20 December 1917.

Peter Farina Founder and President
Peter was born on the Ides of March in Amsterdam, NY, a small mill town with a strong Italian population. He founded italyMONDO! in 2006, after he visited Italy for the first time and discovered his own Italian roots.
Since that humble beginning, Peter has since turned italyMONDO! into the fastest-growing Italian cultural heritage company in the United States with a list of clients spanning four continents.
Peter is a frequent guest speaker both as an expert in Italian culture and on business success, as well as a regular guest on talk shows and the subject of dozens of newspaper and magazine articles throughout Upstate New York.
He has also received many awards and citations from various organizations, including the Entrepreneur of the Year award by his hometown's Chamber of Commerce in January 2008.
Peter owes his success to the sacrifices that his ancestors made when they selflessly left everything and immigrated to America over a century ago. Peter's great-grandparents came from Sora, Frosinone; Savoia di Lucania, Potenza; and Guardiaregia, Campobasso.

Sorry for the lack of posts so far today but I just had to sleep in. Was out late after an evening at the theater (I mean that to sound like an evening at the theata!). I finally saw "Wicked" at the Pantages Theatre! I think it's the best darn musical I've ever seen live! It was so amazing. I'll never feel the same way about the Wicked Witch of the West again! Eden Espinosa (Elphaba) and Megan Hilty (Glinda) were terrific and provided many show-stopping moments. They were funny, they were touching and both deliver powerhouse vocals. And Carol Cane is in the cast! What a delight.
Just had the best time. But it was a long day after starting the day before 6 a.m. to do SAG nominations. But I'm rested now and am gonna start posting like a madman.
Stay tuned!

When I opened my first bottle of Jasmine oil, I knew I was in for a treat. I loved the flowery scent which overpowered and seized the atmosphere. This is possibly the best purchase I've made in recent times. Plus, I got it on sale for half the price. It doesn't get any better than that.
So, what is Jasmine Oil? What exactly makes it tick?
Jasmine essential oil is a famous flower which is extracted from the flowers of jasmine (obviously) which has several scientific names including Jasminum Grandiflora (Royal Jasmine) and Jasminum Officinale (Common Jasmine) amongst others. This very peculiar oil has a strong and sweet yet romantic and flowery scent. Like I said earlier, it is overpowering and leaves a strong impression. I couldn't wait to add it to my homemade deodorant. The jasmine flower has so much to offer as it is usually associated with love and romance. Aha! I knew there was something about it! But beyond all of that, it has an impressive lineup of health benefits which can be attributed to its properties. Some of which includes – antidepressant, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, antispasmodic, cicatrizant, expectorant, galactagogue, emmenagogue, parturient, sedative and uterine substance. Yup! I bet you didn't know. Anyways, let's explore a few and see how they are relevant to us.
- 1. Antiseptic
Jasmine oil is a very good antiseptic and disinfectant which helps prevents wounds from becoming septic and effectively eliminates potential infections from tetanus. When inhaled, it is known to reduce infections in the respiratory system and can relieve colds and coughs.
2. Aphrodisiac:
Apparently, it's the aphrodisiac property in Jasmine oil that invokes the feeling of love and romance. The oil puts people in the mood for love and also enhances their libido and feelings of sexual desire. It also helps cure problems such as premature ejaculation, frigidity, impotency, and various other sexual disorders. Aha! that explains a lot.
3. Cicatrisant:
As a cicatrizant, Jasmine oil helps fade scar marks and spots. It can also help eliminate the fat cracks that often happen in pregnant mothers. Excellent addition to my body butters and facial oil blends.
4. Expectorant
For those that have issues sleeping, Jasmine oil is a perfect tool for inducing long, restful, and undisturbed sleep even when you have a cough or cold. It provides relief from coughs by helping clear out the accumulation of phlegm in the respiratory tracts and eliminates snoring by clearing the congestion from nasal and respiratory tracts.
5. Emmenagogue
Jasmine oil is perfect for all of your menstruation issues. From giving relief to painful cramps to regulating period cycles which is a great way to balance your hormonal levels. It also helps provide relief from other problems associated with menses such as fatigue, annoyance, nausea, and mood swings.
7. Galactagogue
This amazing oil helps increase milk secretion from the breasts which makes it good for lactating mothers and their new babies. This property also helps protect from breast tumors and breast cancer. Ya heard?
8. Parturient
Just as it has emmenagogue properties, the parturient property eases the birthing process and reduces labor pains. This is particularly helpful for women who decide to have a natural birth as it makes the recovery process less painful and the post-natal period,shorter. It can strengthen contractions and shorten the time it takes to deliver a baby. Also, the presence of its antidepressant and uplifting qualities helps combat postpartum depression.© Copyright 2016 Ebun Oluwole, All rights Reserved. Written For: Get your Sizzelle on!

Everyone and his or her mother love free things. It doesn't matter whether it's a luxurious object that we certainly don't need, or something that we actually do need in life, we'd have to be nuts to say no to something that is freely given. Free food is one of the most common freebie people seek out. While it's not a common occurrence for us to receive free gadgets or free gold, we know we can get free food if we make the effort. If you've been looking for a food finder list, then look no further and read this article we prepared for you.
You might be thinking, Gettingfood donationsis impossible. After all, there's the popular saying that tells us there's no such thing as a free meal. The good news is that you're very wrong if you think this way. Furthermore, all of these suggestions are within the law.
One way to find free foodis to attend openings of new supermarkets. You're bound to find free food at these events. The opening day event will be sure to reward your palate. Do come with an empty stomach because lots of food companies will have representatives offering free tastes of their merchandise.
The next tip to help you find free food is to scout restaurants, cafes and bars for free samples. Many of these spots tend to provide free samples when there's a need to promote an event, and the brands will get the services of promo people, so these hires can give out samples of a product they're trying to launch off the ground. Find these places at very busy spots so you'll have better luck, such as places near train stations.
Harnessing the power of the online world is another favorite food finder suggestion. Lots and lots of brands offer freebies of their products online, and these companies will even pay for the postage fees.
Online, you'll also see websites that will email members a list of the latest freebies from different companies, or there are also websites that list the most popular free products you can get from company websites. These sites basically pool together the top sources of free items, including free food, from the Internet.Get more facts about food at https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/food.
Our next tip involves getting free food on your birthday, and while you can only use this once a year, you're sure to get some of the best freebies this way. You'd be surprised with the number of restaurants, cafes and bars that offer free food to customers on their birthdays. Remember to bring an ID since most of these establishments will ask for it.
With creativity and these tips, you're sure to find free food.

Alfonso J. Salazar, 62, was arrested on February 24, 2012, for fraudulently renting out numerous empty foreclosed (and/or unoccupied) homes in the California cities of Brentwood, Antioch, Walnut Creek, and Hercules, to unsuspecting victims. It is estimated that there are over 20 victims who fell prey to this fraudulent rental scheme.
In each instance, Salazar searched for empty foreclosed homes in Contra Costa County, California. He would post a note on the door claiming ownership unless someone objects. Locks were changed. Next, he would post an ad on Craigslist to rent the property. Thereafter, Salazar claimed the property was owned by 'National Alliance of Homeowners for Justice.' The innocent renters would receive a lease which claimed that 'National Alliance of Homeowners for Justice' was the lessor.
The homes varied in value from $742,000 to $215,000 that Salazar and 'National Alliance of Homeowners for Justice' fraudulently claimed ownership over.
By court order, a related bank account was frozen which contained over $35,000 of ill-gotten gains from unsuspecting rental victims.
Salazar formerly worked for Countrywide Mortgage, and he was a licensed real estate agent from 2007 thru 2011. The District Attorney charged Salazar with numerous counts of Grand Theft, Perjury, and Burglary. Bail is set at $180,000.
Contra Costa County District Attorney Mark A. Peterson announced the arrest.
District Attorney Mark A. Peterson stated "that this office will prosecute anyone who defrauds renters, homeowners, and banks in this type of organized criminal scheme. The innocent people who answer the Craigslist ads lose their rental money to these con artists who prey upon the unsuspecting."
Alfonso J. Salazar is being prosecuted by the Real Estate Fraud Unit of Contra Costa County by Deputy District Attorney Ken W. McCormick. The criminal investigation was conducted by Walnut Creek Police Dept., Hercules Police Dept., Brentwood Police Dept., and the District Attorney Special Operations Unit.
If you feel that you are a victim of rental fraud by Alfonso J. Salazar and/or 'National Alliance of Homeowners for Justice', kindly contact Senior Inspector Darryl Holcombe at (925) 957-8762.

Kurt Busch is one of the biggest names in racing with 27 wins in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series including the biggest race in the NASCAR schedule–this year's Daytona 500.
But Kurt's career has had its ups and downs–marred by his turbulence as a person. As Fox Sports NASCAR analyst Darrell Waltrip put it in a 2015 column on FoxSports.com: "He's as talented behind the wheel as anyone I've ever seen. While Kurt has amazing car control that we've seen time and time again, Kurt lacked self-control, something we've unfortunately also seen time and time again."
But many people are seeing–and you're about to hear in this podcast–a more mature, more mellow Kurt Busch, one who is present and seems pretty happy, but also one who is as determined as ever to win on the track.

Now that you've picked a podcast hosting service and started to investigate podcast directories, you need to know where to list your audio files. You've probably run across lists of outdated directories with endless dead ends, and you're starting to feel like you've wasted your time.
After all, isn't everything Stitcher, iTunes, and iHeart Radio these days?
While that's largely true, there are some major reasons to consider working with smaller directories, as well. Since your podcast is likely about a specific topic within a niche. You might be able to find a directory that focuses on podcasts in your subject area.
Smaller directories that have stayed afloat for years are successful for another reason. By curating the podcasts they list they have created a dedicated audience; people who know what they are looking for, and why.
Many of the smaller directories are run by listening apps. If you could search for a podcast in the app you use to listen, wouldn't that be easier than popping over to a larger search engine?
We recommend getting your podcast listed in as many relevant directories as possible. After all, more exposure (especially when little effort is involved) can lead to a larger audience and a more credible image for your podcast.
Here's a list of what we consider to be the best podcast directories on the web:
General Directories for All Types of Podcasts
- Digital Podcast - Easy to use directory. Podcaster friendly, and listener-loved. Powers the AllPodcast.com and others.
- Double Twist - Cross-platform music and audio player that hosts its own directory for podcasts.
- Fluctu8 - Great directory and it is free to list.
- FMG Podcasting - This directory began as Women in Podcasting, but now includes men, and touches on a numerous subjects, not limited to gender issues. They focus on "Life in Balance."
- iPodder - iPodder carefully curates their podcast directory by hand-picked the podcasts they will list. Getting listed in iPodder is a mark of high-quality podcast.
- iTunes - The biggest, best, and most important. This podcast directory has the largest audience and most universal reach.
- Learn Out Loud - The majority of podcasts on this site are educational or informative. List your podcast here by submitting the information to [email protected] and asking for your podcast to be added to their directory.
- Miro - Podcast list run by the Miro listening app.
- Plazoo - News, blogs, and audio - easily searchable, and adding your feed to their directory is a breeze.
- Podcastpedia.org - This new podcast directory is quickly rising to the top, and is easier to use than most. Their listings are structured to help you get found, adding another reason to list with them.
- Stitcher - New, growing quickly, and smarter than most other options. If you list nowhere else, consider Stitcher and iTunes as top priorities.
- iHeartRadio - This is one of the largest streaming radio and podcast directories on the web. If you want to be included in their directory, you need to inquire by sending an email to [email protected]
- TuneIn Radio - According to http://www.richardfarrar.com, "To submit your podcast to this directory you need to [email protected] with your show's title, geographical location,cover art (1200 x 1200px, JPG or PNG, less than 2MB), RSS feed URL, website address, genre, twitter handle (optional) and your e-mail address."
Niche Podcast Directories
- GODcasts1000 - Christian podcast network.
If your podcast is tied to a media outlet, check to see if there is an in-house directory that you can join. For example, NPR has a podcast directory that lists program podcasts from radio stations across the US, as well as nationally-syndicated programs.
Marketing Podcasts - If your podcast is about marketing and you have at least 5 reviews on iTunes, head over to marketingodcasts.com to get your podcast listed.
Getting Listed
Your podcast is a professional, well-planned production. Keep your image that way when you submit it to directories. Understand that many of the best directories won't accept any podcast they come across - they want the best. In the list above, you probably noticed that many of them made their reputation that way.
How can you make a good impression?
Be timely when providing any supplemental materials the directories may ask for. Keep your emails and messages concise, polite, and informative. Have a personality, but one that other people want to see more of, not one they flee from. And most importantly - be polite. Directories are doing you a favor, not working for you.
Now get to it - the world is waiting for your content. Start submitting to the directories listed above, and promote your content (include URL for promoting your podcast page). After all, if you don't spread the word, no matter how many directories you are in, your audience won't know your podcast exists.

I couldn't go back to sleep, so I stayed awake and when I finally drug my sorry sleepy butt out to the car it wouldn't start. My hubby had to drive me in and I'm exhausted. So, I'm heading out to the coffee cart in the lobby to get me some Java. Sheesh...I hope I make it to 5.

What happens when you start running 225 trains a day through a campus of 52,000 students?
The University of Minnesota is about to find out.
In preparation for the June 14 debut of the Green Line, university officials have taken extraordinary precautions to try to keep students, staff and visitors from wandering onto the tracks and into harm's way. That's no small task, especially for a generation notoriously glued to its cellphones.
The U has been rolling out all kinds of alerts, including a poster saying: "A train weighs 98 tons. YOU DON'T. Use caution near light rail tracks."
But everyone's a little nervous that caution may be in short supply.
"It is going to be a challenge to get the attention of students," says U spokesman Tim Busse. "They are routinely distracted. But at the same time, they're also smart and adaptable."
The Green Line will cut through the heart of the U as it travels along Washington Avenue between downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul, with three campus stops (the West Bank, East Bank and Stadium Village stations).
It will be sharing the same busy thoroughfare with bike lanes, buses and tons of pedestrians. "If we could get a battleship in there, we'd have every form of transportation possible," joked Busse.
One big concern is bicyclists, who often make up their own traffic rules. In this case, Metro Transit has created six "bike boxes" — green rectangles painted on the street — to give bicyclists a safe place to wait for the rail crossing light. It even created a two-minute video to show how they work.
Another big fear: that someone will try to beat a train through a crossing. The U hopes to drill home the message that it's not worth trying. "It's 45 seconds," said Busse. "You can spare the 45 seconds to stay safe."
The big safety campaign will kick into gear in the fall, with a special focus at freshman orientation. "We're going to have a lot of experience making sure all of this works even before school starts."

Awesome people from Greg the contact person to Tom the owner to the foreman and the workers. Very professional, caring, considerate, compassionate. They worked hard and did the job in two days. If we have foundation problems with our other facilities we will definitely call Structured Foundation.
The crew did an awesome job and I would be glad to give a reference to anyone needing foundation work. The office staff and salesman did a great job and was very helpful. The guys did a two day job in one day and left property just like nobody was ever here. Thank you very much.
Very professional and efficient. Will recommend Structured Foundation to others.
Thank you very much, the crew was very good. They treated us with respect and the foreman was great, Rudy is a very good asset to your company!! I want to say Thank You for Everything that Rudy has done!
Once Again, Rudy is a very good Asset for your company, TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM!!
Everyone was super friendly, professional & helpful.
All appointments were prompted and carried out very efficiency.
Dennis and the crew were great. I appreciated the time spent to answer all my questions.
Would recommend to anyone needing foundation specialists.
Finding a good foundation company is very difficult!! Structured Foundation came highly commended and I would recommend to anyone! The associates of the company are all very personable, professional and want to do the right thing for the customer. I mean all the associates: Bradley, Alex, Misty, Kevin and all the workers. If you have to have foundation work done - THIS IS THE RIGHT CHOICE! BTW: I have already referred 3 people. THANK YOU!
I want to thank you, Ruben, and Ruben's crew for the terrific work that all of you did at my home fixing the foundation. I am very pleased with the results. Some items I would like to mention specifically:
I was comfortable having Ruben and the crew at my home without me being there. When I was there, they were very respectful and courteous.
They had a monster of a job digging through all of the tree roots and shrubbery roots around the perimeter of my home. I acknowledge that it was a very difficult thing to do. I appreciate the effort they put forth.
The clean-up that was done both inside and outside was terrific! Outside EVERYTHING was swept. The bushes that were dug up were cleared away. The front patio and walk was hosed off. And to my surprise, the inside of the house was Fabuloso-ed! The non-carpeted floors were mopped and free of dirt, mud, dust. It was a wonderful experience to come home and find how neatly surfaces had been swept, scrubbed, and put back in order.
To the crew: Mucho, mucho gracias!
To Ruben: Thank you for the care and attention you put into my job.
And thank you, Chris Bailey, for organizing all of this. I am glad I was referred to Structured Foundation Repairs by Janice Crawford. She trusts working with you, and I know why.
Everyone was friendly and courteous. The process was explained again the day of the work and I was impressed that they tried to protect my roses.
Was a good experience and happy not to need their services for a long time!
We have been extremely pleased from start to finish with Structured. The office staff very pleasant and helpful. Everyone from the estimator, Structural Engineer, crew were all very professional and efficient. We would absolutely recommend Structured Foundation to anyone.
Estimator did a great job of explaining how piers were to be located and how services would be charged.
Crew did a great job of protecting property (grass, walls, etc.) during excavation, lift, clean up.
Great job done, cleanup great. Will definitely recommend.
Everyone I dealt with from the estimator , the office scheduler, and the crew today were professional and effective in the execution of their jobs. This was my first experience with this type of service and can say I am quite pleased.
The work was done quickly and with minimal disruption/damage to the landscape. Crew chief Agustin was very polite and kept us informed. Estimator Rodney was very professional and thorough in explaining the process.
knowledgable and explained all procedures, went the extra mile to fix and repair everything, great clean up, was very satisfied with the whole experience
Larry did initial evaluation. Was very professional, explained everything well.
Zac on the phone did the same - answered all questions. Had 3 foremen. Kelly was here most of the day but got sick. He was very professional and conscientious. Dennis replaced him. He also was good about explaining things and answering questions. Manuel was here Day 2. He was very professional, friendly and went above and beyond to do a great job. Appreciated his attention to detail. Making sure everything was done right and that I understood what to expect.
Salomon was the best do not let him go.
Billy met with us and explained the procedures. We did check out another company, but felt Structured was the best to meet our needs.
Things were scheduled on a timely basis for us and everyone was extremely helpful.
The crew was amazing. They were hard workers and did a great job. Manuel was very efficient and polite to explain as they were progressing. Thanks for all the hard work. Floors are stable, doors are closing! Yea!
Structured Foundation Repairs is an excellent company. Professional and friendly, from start to finish, I felt like they were on my side and could be trusted. I highly recommend them.
Very professional - great crew - very efficient. Kelly was great. He explained what was going to happe and showed me the results with the measurement tool.
Kelly even adjusted the front door which gapped after pier went in.
Definitely appreciated Kelly answering all my questions & concerns.
I was so surprised how fast this project went - 17 piers in one day!
Everyone was polite and courteous. Dennis was great and explained everything to me. Chris was honest and respectable. Good Job!
Jefferie was professional, thorough in his explanation of need of repair.
Crew came on time - they are very respectful of the property and cleaned up well.
Everyone with whom I came in contact was very helpful and courteous.
Preston answered all of our questions and was a consummate professional.
Everyone was friendly and knowledgable. They answered all of our questions and explained exactly what was happening. Bryan Portwood was able to get the work started quickly and made the process easy to understand. The crew was prompt and efficient. The crew foreman involved us in each step.
I am very pleased with everyone and the work that was done. Kelly kept me informed on everything and what he found. I would recommend this company to everyone. I hope I get the same crew when I get the rest of the house done.
Very good workers!
Dennis and his crew worked hard and did a great job. Dennis did a good job communicating the status of the project and any issues that arose. He and his crew paid attention to the details of keeping things out of the way of a very messy project. Van did a good job of explaining the issues and honoring the warranty without questions or discussion. Job well done!
Great Job! Good Crew. Very Thorough!
They did a great job - Thank you for sending your best guys!
I called Structured in an absolute pinch on a Tuesday They had a guy out on Wednesday and my repairs done on Saturday. They were fast, reliable, constantly in communication, affordable and all around amazing to work with. I dont know what I would have done without them. I would use them again in a heartbeat! Thank you Heidi and Ruben! Not only was my project done fast, they fixed my yard too! I am so happy.
Everybody was great as usual. Crew was friendly, polite and in good spirits.
Excellent Work
Clean up Excellent
Supervisor kept us informed
Bradley was Great
Estimator & Crew did a great job.
Manuel kept me informed - step by step.
From estimator to crew, very professional and respectful of our home. Made sure patio and driveway were cleaned up as if they had never been here.
We have recommended Structured Foundation to many friends and family. Some of them have used them. We will continue to use Structured and to recommend them.
My husband and I are very pleased with Structured Foundation's crew. They were very professional, cleaned up after their job was finished. Kept me informed of what was going on. If I had any questions, always took time to answer. I was referred to this company by a friend and I will refer to anyone who needs foundation problems repaired. It was a pleasure to do business with this company.
All staff were great.
Structured Foundation Repairs was excellent. They were thorough and prompt. They did an outstanding job of communicating the process and scheduling the pre and post work inspections. Their crew was fast and they didn't leave a mess.
They have done an excellent job honoring our warranty. Responsive and quality work.
The foreman and his crew did an outstanding job. I could not be happier. Just hope the piers hold.
This is the second time I have used Structured Foundation and the company has done a great job from start to finish! I have and will continue to refer the company to my friends and customers in Frisco as well as in Ft Worth (parent's home). A neighbor stopped by and picked up a business card during the repair this past weekend. The estimator -Kelly C. was excellent and provided or educated me along with the engineer(Daneel) to make a very important and informed decision. The crew was fantastic, very thorough in covering areas, saving as much landscape possible and running the sprinklers to make sure everything worked before leaving. Crew Leader - Salomon kept me informed on the process, showed me the level in each area and made sure everything was in order. The crew were awesome, they dug/jackhammered the 23 locations so quickly and efficiently and worked very hard both days. I applaud their work!!
I have nothing but good things to say about Manuel, the crew chief, and his colleagues. Manuel explained the entire process, approx. how long it would take, and was more than willing to answer any questions we had along the way. The entire crew was professional, pleasant, and more than willing to place the excess dirt from the foundation digging into our garden beds. When they left, the front yard looked as though no work had been done. Very clean and back in order.
I had an excellent experience with Structured Foundation Repair. Everyone I spoke to and dealt with was polite, professional and helpful. I want to send a special thanks to Billy Tatum and also Salomon Vargas & his crew. They did a great job and Im very appreciative of their hard work!
Incredible job! Your crew is wonderful. I will recommend you without reservation - and already have.
Everyone I dealt with from the estimator, the office scheduler, and the crew today were professional and effective in the execution of their jobs. This was my first experience with this type of service and can say I am quite pleased.
Everyone was courteous and very professional. All the crew members were great, especially Crew Chief, Dennis Duval. He went beyond expectations to satisfy me and to protect my home and plants. A special recognition should go to Van Carlton who took the time to answer all questions on his 2 visits and 2 follow up phone calls.
The Structured Foundation crew have all been great. Starting with the first walkthrough of our house, Van was upfront and honest. He took the time to get to know my family and our concerns with our house. He and the financing department worked with our budget, so we could get the repairs done as soon as possible. The crew working on our foundation know what they are doing. They are kind, courteous, and work diligently to get the job done in a timely manner. We had 12 piers put in, 6 of which are in the interior of our house. They covered the walls/door frames to try and keep dust/debris confined to the work space. I would refer Structured Foundation to all of my family and friends!
Absolutely fabulous team. Completely satisfied!
Very friendly! The team worked hard and at a steady pace. Was kept up to date on progress and did an A+ job at cleanup! When the foreman could not answer my question, he picked up the phone and called someone who could! 5 Stars!!
"I wanted to pass along kudos to your company and especially to Tiffany Spencer, Jefferie Ellison, and Vicente and crew. I had been contemplating foundation repair for some time. Tiffany answered some questions for me which started the process. She was very informative and straight forward. She never degraded any other companies while at the same time gave me some direction and some things to consider. I scheduled an evaluation and Jefferie was my analyst. I expressed my concerns right up front with him about the fear of not getting work done correctly and being overcharged in the process. In other words, I did not want to get "ripped off". He explained the process to me and also explained the differences in how jobs were estimated and how the work was done. I want to say that he was extremely thorough in his assessment of work needed. The way he explained it to me made total sense. I will also say that of three company that I had an estimate from, Structured (Jeff) was the only one that went UNDER my house to confirm work needed. This was for sure one of the points that led to my decision. Also, Structured was the middle of the estimates and considerably less than the most expensive one. We made the deal and he gave me a start date before he left my house. Vicente and crew showed up right on time. He and I walked the house out, he took measurements and we both agreed on the plan. Then they went to work. I cannot say enough good things about this crew. They worked very had and fast for the two days they were here. None of them seemed to mind that I was watching the work pretty closely. This was mostly out of interest but of course I wanted to also see that they were doing what we talked about. Vicente explained the entire process to me and they went along. He also answered every question I had and never got perturbed that I was asking a lot of them. There was only one change from the original plan and Jeff called me to explain that process. When the job was completed the crew cleaned everything up real nicely and Vicente remeasured the house. He assured me and I agreed that all was done correctly. The follow up inspection from the engineering firm confirmed that all was done correctly and as planned. And he also went under the house to see that the correct beam and seal plate was replaced.
I expected this to be a very traumatic ordeal but I have to say that Structured made the whole process be a very smooth and non strenuous thing. I really appreciate that.
I would certainly appreciate it if you would make sure that Tiffany, Jefferie, and Vicente's supervisors know that I feel that they are a great asset to your company and maintain not only a great work ethic but super attitudes towards their customers. Oh, and add Janice to the list. Very personable to talk to for the scheduling.Should I have the opportunity in the future, I will not hesitate to recommend Structure Foundation Repairs."
"Everyone that came to our home was outstanding - careful to explain (and even demonstrated) every step. The work was well done and with remarkably little footprint."
Preston and Rueben were awesome. They were both very gentleman like and respectful of our work environment. They explained the process completely and provided me with clear expectations of what was happening.
These guys were quick, efficient and top notch!
I will clearly be referring my business to you guys. Out of 3 companies, you were the only ones who called back!
Thank you!
Got your name from neighbors who were very pleased with your work & I have to say I am as well. You were up front with everything, no surprises. I would recommend you to whoever needs foundation work.
Preston Marcom and his crew did an outstanding job. He was honest and helpful in his remarks about the repairs with being courteous to my wife and I. Chris Bailey was professional as well in our initial estimate. Overall a great experience under the circumstances.
Wonderful Professionalism - Great Job.
Team was courteous & friendly.
Both Devan & Rudy did an excellent job of communicating throughout project. The crew did an excellent job and was very polite and communicative. We were very impressed with the care that the crew took for our belongings, the way that they were careful not to damage utility lines and the way that the clean up was completed. Excellent Job!
Edward & Will were very good. The crews worked hard & with deligence [sic].
I have only praise for the people & the company.
Everyone I dealt with from the crew to the [analyst] was great. Greg Snyder was the [analyst] and was very professional. He knew exactly what needed to be done and was no pressure. Manuel was the crew supervisor. He kept me updates on everything including the time his crew would arrive each day. He took the time to answer my questions and was a pleasure to work with. Thank you to all!
All work was professionally done throughout the process from the first call to the completed work.
Great Service, Prompt, Courteous, competitively priced.
The crew was fast and got right to work. Very courteous and aimed to please. Good work guys!!!
All the employees i dealt with at Structured Foundation were top notch, all the way from salesman, workers and office personel.
Larry Todd was very fair and informative. He really had all the answers to my questions and I felt very confident the job would be done properly. Solomon , the crew chief, went overboard to complete his job and all of his crew were super nice. I highly recommend for foundation repairs.
Everything was professional and timely. Appointments were kept and service was good. Work was done professionally and everyone explained the process well.
We were very satisfied with the foundation repair. Your crew was very professional and answered all of our questions.
Experience was very pleasant, much easier than I anticipated. Everyone was very professional.
Very good. Very fast and very clean.
Everyone has been professional and has clearly communicated regarding the concerns of the foundation and what is needed to fix the problem.
All were fantastic, professional, friendly & I'm very pleased with the work.
Our experience, start to finish, was first note! Each step was explained thoroughly and there were no surprises. On repair day, our crew was early even! Everyone was polite & helpful. We will recommend Structured Foundation to everyone we talk to!
Thanks for a great job!
Every person from your company that was at my house was wonderful! Not only were they professional, they were courteous and friendly. Everything they did was done with utmost care and precision.
Thanks to ALL for an excellent experience!!!
Structured Foundation did an excellent job at my house. We had 21 internal piers - a dirty tough job. Randy and his crew were courteous and thorough. They answered questions and did everything possible to make my family comfortable during the process. I was amazed at what great work they did and how clean they left my house and yard. I will definitely recommend SFR to anyone needing foundation work.
Everyone was very nice, professional & friendly. I would refer out. Did a great job.
Entire process was simple. Easy to understand. Crew did an excellent job, clean & professional. Completed in less than 8 hrs, courteous, throughout the day. I was able to work with almost no disruption!
the foreman, Will was very knowledgable and explained everything in great detail. He kept me informed periodically where they were in the process. the crew was friendly and definitely working hard. Thank you for your prompt attention to our property. No offense but we hope to not see you guys for a long long time! LOL
The work was outstanding!
The crew chief was very good explaining the process & the overall crew did an outstanding job.
I would recommend the company and especially this particular crew, very good job and cleaned up real well.
Very professional, timely, and courteous.
The whole process was very good. The work was done quickly and with very high quality, by a friendly hardworking crew.
Very professional & hard working team.
Solomon was a pleasure to work with.
Would recommend to everyone.
Absolutely amazing experience. the estimate was on point and the crew was very quick and professional. Thank you for hiring such amazing people!!
Everything was great. All personnel friendly and Kelly answered all of my questions and I asked a lot of them. They put up with my 3 dogs, too!
Solomon and his team were very professional. All work and issues were clearly explained.
They cleaned up after themselves very well.
The estimators, the office staff, and the crew were great. Everyone was professional and courteous. We really want to thank Solomon Vargas and his crew for all of their hard work and labor.
As painful of an experience as we were expecting for a process like this - we were pleasantly surprised. From Kelly, our estimator, there was no high - pressure sales pitches - just helpful information. Soloman Vargas and his crew were the best. They worked quickly and efficiently. They were professional and helpful They even offered to spread dirt in the back yard where our dogs had been digging - so nice and helpful! Clean up was amazing. Soloman very kindly said, 'We don't want you to stress.'
Better than imagined experience!
Timely, Efficient, Courteous.
Completed the work in a single day with a second team that was available.
Would recommend them again without hesitation.
From the 1st appointment, the whole experience was professional. Chad Martin, the estimator, was knowledgable and listened carefully to our needs. The office staff is pleasant and courteous, and the crew was great. When we saw the work in progress, we were convinced they couldn't finish in the estimated time period. Not only did they finish, you can't even tell they were here! Job well done!
Very good overall. Got to work promptly. Terms of work explained properly.
We were pleased with every aspect of the repair process. Everyone was courteous and professional in every way.
The repair crew were prompt, considerate, and did a wonderful job keeping our home clean and back in order after all repairs were complete.
We will (already have) recommend structured to our family & friends.
Were here as they said, left yard in excellent condition.
Very considerate!
It's good to get what you pay for now days! =
From the office to the crew just outstanding. My flower beds look better now that than when they started! It's getting harder & harder to trust any repair. But Tom and the two crews working at both of my houses on the same day was just outstanding. Great Job.
Everyone was very nice and professional. they did great at setting expectations so there would be no surprises.
5 - stars. Excellent Service.
Excellent information on work reform.
Will refer to everyone.
Thank you.
The crew that performed my repairs were very professional. They went above and beyond to ensure that my home was taken care of and kept me informed of the process during the repairs. They were timely and very courteous with regards to the property. I would highly recommend structured to anyone needing foundation repairs.
Thank you for your patience in rescheduling while I pursued an insurance claim.
The work was done professionally and quite quickly. The house looks quite great!
These are a group of hard working men.
They were all very mannerly & respectful.
Organized & thorough & Their efforts were 100%.
Thank you for your great works! Everyone was courteous and extremely professional.
Our experience with Structured from the first call to the final detail was professional and courteous. Everyone was gracious and happy to answer questions - making a major project seem less daunting.
Will, our foreman and his crew were very timely and efficient. He provided excellent communication throughout the day and was always happy to answer questions. He and the whole team get an A+ for service!
Structured Foundation Repairs exceeded my exceptions and I would refer them to anyone. they were here by 8 AM and finished by 12am. they installed 7 pilings.
★★★★★ Crew was great, came early, finished ahead of time - elevations back to normal.
Chad Martin visited with me on 06/09/2016 to prepare an estimation for foundation work that was needed. I was very pleased with him so I did not get anymore estimations. Every one that I spoke with from Structured Foundation has the same attitude. Every thing was explained to me prior to work that was done.
Dennis Duval's crew explained what they were going to do prior to beginning. I was happy with him and his crew.
Estimator: Rodney seemed straight forward and personable. Recommended an engineer when not required by municipality. Quickly replied to calls.
Office Staff: Did not interact with office much.
Crew: Salomon & crew arrived early, got to work quickly, and obviously had a plan. Salomon kept us informed of the process along the way. The indoor pier(?) could have made a mess. They carefully put plastic over the opening and covered the floor in addition to the preventives we had already taken. Cleanup was thorough, efficient and complete, even used a power washer to clean the patio.
Everyone we encountered was very professional and knowledgable. I didn't know much about foundation work when it all started but feel well educated now. The crew did a great job with their work and clean up. Devin, Van and the crew were outstanding!
"Kelly and crew showed up on time, were very conscientious and careful with our home and yard. They took the time to cover everything and minimize the mess. We enjoyed the crew as they laughed and whistled their way through the very hard work. Kelly did an excellent job of keeping me informed throughout the process and answering all my questions. I am very pleased and would recommend SFR to anyone."
"I had two crews working on my property due to the weather conditions. I appreciate how well they worked together as well as how fast they completed this job. Thank you Soloman for working with me and answering all my questions."
Everyone was very nice and professional. the work was completed in a very timely matter. The crew even worked through a rain storm to ensure it was completed on time as promised. I was very impressed by all. I would definitely recommend Structured Foundation to friends and family.
The crew was efficient and professional. Worked until the job was finished. Quality work.
Very friendly and efficient
I was impressed with the work. Workers worked hard and Preston did a great job explaining the process to me.
"Polite" - professional - clean-up was great
Kept me informed - Hard workers - "on time"
Everyone the I've worked with is friendly, professional and knowledgable. The workers cleaned up after the repairs and cleaned up all trash from the yard. I loved seeing the crew work as a team. For this repair, there were adjustments made to piers previously installed. All of these repairs were covered under the warranty. I'm very pleased with the work done by Structured Foundation.
Your estimator Chase (Chad Martin) was very pleasant and easy to work with. I had a difficult time with the technical part of getting the paper work in and he walked me through it.
The office staff was easy to work with when they called about appointment.
The crew did a great job on top. I haven't crawled under the house and taken a look, but the floor level. The clean up was good.
Yes, I would tell a friend or family about your company.
The entire process was very satisfactory from the initial salesperson to the actual crew who did the work, it was seem less. As I wait to see if any cracks appear before fully relaxing, I can say that I am very pleased with the quality of work performed. Special Thanks to Dennis, the supervisor on "work day"
I would highly recommend Structured Foundation to anyone. They were referred to me by a builder which highly recommended them as well. Everyone, including estimators, office staff, Vicente and his crew were very knowledgable and professional. They were very good with extending their normal work hours and days in order to work with our business hours so it didn't effect our clients. Thanks!

Kendall Marshall has received the Bob Cousy Award which honors the top point guard in the nation.
Marshall led the nation in assists and assist-turnover ratio and was second in assists per game. He set an ACC record with 351 assists which placed him fourth in NCAA single-season history. He played in 36 games this season averaging 33 minutes per contest before fracturing a bone in his right wrist that sidelined him for the final two games of the NCAA Tournament.
Marshall is one of the best and his loss due to a fractured wrist was truly felt in the NCAA.

I ventured out into the magical world of Westfield Stratford for a bit of retail therapy before Valentine's Day, so I'm sorry about how late this post is (crap blogger award goes to me)! I was actually extremely hungover and exhausted after a night with my head inside a wine glass (or six), and decided that spending money would be the answer to all my woes.
I was right.
Adidas Originals Crop Top | Urban Outfitters | £25
IT IS SO RARE THAT I CAN AFFORD TO EVEN SET FOOT IN AN URBAN OUTFITTERS STORE THESE DAYS. But, after an extraordinarily unfortunate event involving toilet bleach and my beloved older Adidas crop top, my wardrobe was definitely missing something. I'm a sucker for Adidas, and I spotted this beautiful short-sleeved, fitted crop t-shirt in UO, and I knew I had to get it. I've worn it a few times, but now spring is springing, I'm looking forward to getting it on more.
Valentine's Day Card | Urban Outfitters | £4
I was reluctant to post this before V-day just on the off-chance Chris actually gave a shit and looked at my blog, but this was the Valentine's card I got for him. We luuurved Stranger Things last year, and we can't wait for the next season. The card says: "On a scale of one to ten, you're an eleven", which is simultaneously romantic and badass. Next year I'm determined to find him a Walking Dead V-day card. Also, just a side note – my eyes did water at the price, but whatever, we can't put a price on luv xoxox
Make Up Revolution Ultra Eye Contour Light & Shade | Superdrug | £8
The. Bloody. Cheek. Of. Makeup. Revolution. Right. Now. I can't believe they get away with making such convincing dupes of higher end stuff. This palette is almost identical to the Kat Von D Light and Shade palette, but only costs a fraction of the price. The KVD version is also sold out almost everywhere I look, and so I felt like this was a pretty good investment. It's still not been opened, if I'm honest. I mean, I can barely even close my drawers because I've got so many eyeshadow palettes, but its day will come.
Revlon ColourStay Makeup for Oily/Combination Skin in Ivory | Superdrug | £12.99
This has been my go-to drugstore foundation for aaages now. I discovered it when I was living in Bristol and ran out of my L'Oreal True Match. After I realised this was pretty much a dupe for the Estee Lauder foundation, I fell in love with this. I'm in the shade Ivory, which I think might be the palest shade, but it's a good match! It's also really fab at covering my heinous spots and red patches, and it's true to its word about catering for the oily-skinned gal. This is a repurchase, and it will probably always be on my repurchase list.
Long Sleeve Choker Top in Grey | Topshop | £19
I've wanted a choker top for aaaages but never found one I liked. That was until I found Topshop's beautifully fitted, lighter material choker crop top. I chose the colour grey because every time I come home with a new black crop top, Chris loses the plot and says I have about 100 versions of the same top (lies and slander), but now I wish I grabbed a black one too as I can't find one in my local store anymore! I might have to order one online before they stop doing them. I absolutely love this top; it's very flattering and definitely different to my 100 other crop tops.
In my emotional, hungover state, I also popped into JD Sports for a new Adidas T-shirt for Chris. I tried to take a picture but he was literally wearing it for about two weeks after I bought it, so we'll have to use our imaginations.
We're just about moved in to our new place now! It's still a bit stressful, and the unpacking seems to be lasting forever, but we're really settling in to our new 2-bed home. Once it's looking like less of a hovel, I'll be sure to take some pictures and maybe do a new flat tour for my YouTube channel!
Lots of love,

In February I test drove Paul van der Meer's pimped TWIKE in Amsterdam. Basically the TWIKE (TWin bIKE) is a car with 2 hometrainers built-in.
Now while writing a blog on it and looking for "human electric hybrid" on Google, I've come across the Human Car. A car for four oarsmen !
Both machines are in my perception competitors to the ROM exercise machine. You use the TWIKE and Human Car in time you would otherwise be commuting anyway. That makes them, the 0 minute exercise machines.
and they are the opposite of the Fatmobiles: The motorized wheelchair shopping carts that gigantically fat people use at the grocery store because they are too fat and lazy to walk.
Many people are suffering from Diseases of Affluence and Wikipedia lists "Less strenuous physical exercise, often through increased use of a car." as the first cause.
So remember www.facebook.com/pages/Youre-fat-not-disabled-Get-off-the-motorized-shopping-carts and take a Twike or Human Car for a drive instead!
Watch this POV video of the TWIKE on the open road.

Utility Billing & Collection Division
The Utility Billing and Collections Division is responsible for all customer service, including new customers, billing questions, meter lids missing, and new service line connections.
The division also handles turning on / off water utility orders, the reading of water meters, establishing new service, billing for water, sewer and refuse, collection of payments, and arranging for a field inspection
How to Establish Service
To establish a water account, the customer is asked to come to the Utility Collections Office at 907 E. Houston and make a deposit. Identification is required on new deposits to protect the customer from someone else establishing an account in his/her name. A representative is allowed to establish the account by using their own identification and providing copies of the responsible party's identification. New account holders are required to bring a signed rental/lease agreement or proof of ownership and a utility bill in their name (Entergy or Centerpoint only) along with all the previous required documents for new service.
Service Deposits
Deposit amounts have changed in November 2014.
- Residential (homeowners only) deposits are $150 for single-family dwellings. with meter fee of $25.00
- Residential (renters) deposits are $300 for single-family dwellings. with meter fee of $25.00
- Commercial business:
- $300 deposit with meter fee of $25 for <10,000 gallon users
- $400 deposit with meter fee of $25 >10,000 gallons but <50,000 gallons
- $500 deposit with meter fee of $25 >50,000 gallon users

Here are my findings muchachas;
Daisychains and Heartbeats is a perfect example of the "where did you come up with your blog name" blog names! Here's what she told me:-
"The name 'Daisychains and Heartbeats' is basically the brain child of my failing imagination. It is pretty much there because I couldn't think of anything else! I knew that I wanted my blog name to be something that entices images of whimsical days and dainty thoughts - something a bit cute. I have no idea why, I mean, it's not like my blog actually reflects that, but that is what I decided so that is where my train of thought travelled. Saying that though, I'm pretty sure I wanted it to have some sort of daisy theme because I love daisies and I wanted my banner to have some sort of daisy-like images in it (although that never actually happened....) and I guess 'heartbeats' just kinda slotted in. I would quite like to change it to a short singular word - something a bit more abrupt - but I'm not good at this whole 'coming up with a name' thing, so for now it will just have to be stuck on that."
Kittenish Behaviour, created by Purdey (Sian) is definitely a highly recommended blog by me, she's another chickie i'm declaring my love for, and one of the most intriguing blog name stories:-
"Kittenish Behaviour comes from my nickname Kitten which Tatty kind of gave me and I kind of adopted about fourteen years ago. Tatty and I had only just met and were going out with a large group of friends for drinks around Ipswich, we all went back to someone's flat to carry on chatting and drinking but I was so tired I curled up in Tatty's lap and fell asleep! Tatty being the artist that she is drew this picture of me...
....I'd been called Kitten by a few people before and I think Tatty decided this night that it was an apt nickname for me. I've been Kitten Breeches ever since. As this blog is about my slightly crazy life "Kittenish Behaviour" seemed an ideal title."

Cull as early as possible but at a convenient time, commonly at weaning of calves. Initial culling is for females empty at pregnancy diagnosis or that experienced calving difficulties at the previous calving. Ultrsound pregnancy testing allows earlier diagnosis of pregnancy to be achieved accurately and earlier tactical culling decisions.
If pregnant, then cull on physical factors such as unsound feet and legs, damaged or lost teeth, aged over 10 years (or required age structure of the breeding herd for desired rate of genetic progress), history of calving difficulty or inability to wean a calf.
To achieve the targeted rate of genetic progress and change in herd structure, a defined culling policy is needed for older cows.
Carefully consider how to achieve a balance between the number of older cows in their optimum productive years, say between their third to sixth gestation, and the influx of new generation heifers as replacements.
If the animal is required during a change in the age structure or rebuilding of the herd, re-mate and manage as a group separate from the main herd. The cost of culling all infertile cows (ie not pregnant after 45 days mating) in a program aimed at realigning calving pattern can be too high to complete in one year. Correcting an unsatisfactory spread in calving may need to be completed over three years (refer to 'Guidelines for reducing the spread of calving' in Procedure 2).
When infertile heifers and cows without calves are not culled, these non-pregnant animals consume pasture that can be productively used to grow stock and increase the throughput of saleable product. If retained, these culls should be grown to a saleable weight for a target market.
Heifers intended as replacement breeders must be selected for their ability to:
When determining the number of heifers to join, it is important to allow for culling of heifers that fail this screening test. If too few heifers are retained, the balance of the breeding herd (target size and desirable age structure) cannot be maintained from year to year. Another option may be to purchase pregnancy-tested cows in-calf, but the impact on the herd age structure and breeding objective would need to be carefully assessed along with the issue of biosecurity.
When too many replacement heifers are retained, they consume more high quality pasture per calf born than older cows. Although heifers lower the average age of the herd, they are more labour-intensive at calving and wean lighter calves. However, excess heifers can become valuable sale animals and increase the ability of a beef business to access a range of target markets.
Assess the effect on profitability of options for maintaining heifers to increase enterprise flexibility, such as selling grown heifers (see Module 1: Setting directions).
Culling rate is determined basically by the heifer retention rate. High culling rates are possible only when the heifer retention rate is exceeds 60–80%, which is only achieved with a high degree of reproductive efficiency. This can only happen when:
High culling rates are beneficial in that they:
Table 1 shows the effect of higher retention rate of heifers and the ability to exert more selection pressure on the herd through a higher culling rate of cows over and above culling the empty cows.
Nearly all the negative aspects of poor reproductive efficiency, apart from disease processes, can be attributed to failing to meet the nutritional requirements of breeding herds at particular times in their breeding cycle. Failure in this area is the greatest single cause of economic failure; not failed seasons, poor prices or other things out of our control.
Culling consists of removing unwanted cows from the breeding herd based on:
Start with 500 heifers, and assume:
Table 2 shows the natural rate of attrition before any culling for production takes place. After 8 years, only 112 of the initial 500 cows remain in the breeding herd. This means that, assuming a fertility rate of 88% and a heifer retention rate of 40%, only 12 surplus old cows can be culled to retain a 500-cow herd.
