Monthly Progress Update: APD Partners with Community Businesses for Strategic Planning and Process Improvement Training

The Albuquerque Police Department Implements Six Sigma Process

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Albuquerque Police Department is partnering with regional corporations to enhance its training, leadership, and data collection opportunities.

Recently, the department received Six Sigma training in an effort to improve reform-related efficiency. The Six Sigma process is a world-renowned program which seeks to advance the output of any process by identifying and removing unnecessary procedures or defects. The process has also proven to increase overall efficiency for agencies, consequentially saving them money and increasing productivity.

The department is taking the process a step further by partnering with local corporations to provide experienced mentors to APD employees who are interested in moving forward with the plan. The APD employees will be selecting projects that are within their work-group. The community mentors will then assist the employees with bringing the projects to a successful conclusion. The mentors will provide information on how their organizations have improved utilizing the Six Sigma process, as well as the type of projects, and technical guidance.

APD plans to use the six step Six Sigma process to address inefficiencies within the department, improve communication and data transfer with the Independent Monitor, evaluate its data collections systems and identify trend data.

APD supervisors, civilian and sworn, began the first phase of this training on December 15, 2016.

Care & Maintenance

Caesarstone® polished surfaces generally require low levels of maintenance to keep them looking like new and never require sealing. For everyday, routine cleaning of Caesarstone® we recommend wiping the surface with warm soapy water (a mild detergent) and a clean damp cloth or use our Caesarstone® Spray Cleaner. Like all dark and black surfaces, our darker colours may not disguise marks and fingerprints as readily as a lighter surface so more regular cleaning may be required. Black and dark surfaces can show scratches more readily than a lighter surface.

Water Service FAQs

If you're thinking of purchasing property in Cambria, please read the following carefully.

What's the water situation in Cambria?

  • Cambria’s entire water supply comes from municipal wells located on two creeks, San Simeon Creek to the North of town, and Santa Rosa Creek, which runs through Cambria.
  • The District owns three wells on San Simeon Creek from which the majority of the town’s water is drawn. It also owns three wells in the Santa Rosa Creek basin: two potable and one non-potable.
  • Since rainfall in Cambria is strictly seasonal, and no rain generally falls from May through October, water storage is a critical issue.
  • The District is permitted by the State to withdraw a specific amount of water from the creeks. This is contingent upon maintaining wetland habitats in the creek for certain endangered species.
  • The District declared a Water Code Section 350 emergency shortage in 2001 and put a moratorium on new connections to the water system. To date, the Water Code Section 350 declaration has not been lifted.

What is the status of the CCSD's Water Supply Plan?

  • In 2008, the CCSD completed a Water Master Plan (WMP) to determine Cambria’s water needs for the future. It includes the eventual “buildout” size of the community and the corresponding water, sewer, and fire protection needs for that size community. Desalination was determined to be the best long-term, stable water source for Cambria.
  • During 2013, the Army Corps of Engineers, through a project cooperative agreement with the CCSD, commissioned CDM Smith to complete a Cambria Water Supply Alternatives Technical Memorandum. Following a series of public workshops, an indirect potable reuse project using brackish water was found to be the most technically superior project.
  • This report was followed by a severe drought and consequential emergency water shortage declaration. This prompted the CCSD to complete its Emergency Water Supply (EWS) project during 2014. The EWS is a smaller scale version of the indirect potable reuse project described in the 2013 report (alternative 5). The key differences included reusing as much of the existing CCSD infrastructure as possible while keeping the project within the confines of CCSD-owned property located off of San Simeon Creek Road.
  • The CCSD completed the EWS project's design, permitting, and construction within a very aggressive 6-month period. The project first went into operation during January 2015. It is currently permitted to operate under an emergency coastal development permit issued by SLO County Planning & Building. An SEIR to support a Regular Coastal Development Permitting process was completed during 2017 and included modifications to the original project and the evolution of the facility from an emergency supply to the Sustainable Water Facility (SWF). The SWF maximizes the CCSD's water supply and provides reliability during the typical dry season. The SWF's Regular CDP is currently in process with the County.

Why is there a Water Wait List for permits?

  • There has been a long-standing water shortage, and the County has imposed a “growth management” ordinance that limits annual issuance of building permits.
  • The CCSD will not issue water commitments beyond those for which the County will process building permits. This ensures there is not a backlog of customers unable to build. The "County wait list" is NOT for water and does not constitute a water commitment by the CCSD.
  • If a real estate agent tells you a property has a wait list position, be sure to confirm that it is a CCSD Water Wait List position and not a County Building Permit waiting list position.  A hard copy of the CCSD Water Wait List is available at our Admin Office located at 1316 Tamsen Dr., Suite 201 in Cambria. A digital copy can be viewed here.

What does a waiting list position mean?

  • It entitles you to a new hookup for water and sewer service when your position number is eligible for issuance, and upon your completion of all Intent to Serve letter requirements.

When can my project get water service?

  • For the 10 years prior to the November 2001 water emergency declaration, between 27 and 65 single-family projects received water service per year, depending upon whether San Luis County allowed a growth rate of 1% or 2.3% respectively. The Cambria CSD has not issued a new residential Intent letter since 2001.
  • The County of San Luis Obispo sets the countywide growth limit annually through limitations on issuance of building permits. The current growth rate allowed by the San Luis Obispo County is 0%.
  • The County will not process a building permit for any project that does not have water.

Why would someone not accept his or her Intent to Serve letter?

  • Accepting an Intent to Serve letter means the applicant must meet a number of requirements with considerable financial commitments and time deadlines.
  • If the owner is not prepared to actively pursue a building permit, hire an architect and builder, acquire financing, and pay substantial fees, they should not accept an Intent to Serve.
  • Failure to meet the requirements can result in a project being returned to the waiting list and forfeiture of certain fees. A project may "defer" one time without penalty. If you would like to apply for an extension, please complete an Intent to Serve Extension Application and submit it with the appropriate fee to the District office.

What about properties with no water position?

  • If a property has no water position, it is questionable whether a water permit could be obtained in the future.
  • Currently, the only option is to transfer water from another parcel that already has a position. The conditions under which a transfer is allowed include retirement of either the sender parcel or an approved alternate parcel. Transfers are limited to parcels with single-family residential water meters that meet certain size and location requirements.
  • If your property is smaller than 3,500 square feet (many single lots are only 1,750 sq. ft.) or is located in an area designated by San Luis Obispo County as Special Projects Area #1 (roughly Fern Canyon area to Romney Drive on Lodge Hill) or Special Project Area 2 (as depicted in Attachment "A" to Ordinance 02-2007), you cannot transfer water there.

20 Jul Speed Cameras – Lifesavers or Moneymakers? – Infographic

speed camera infographic

They’ve been a gripe of motorists since their implementation but a recent report has sided with the view of disgruntled motorists saying that traffic cameras ‘are just money-making machines’.
Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) found that speed cameras are sometimes set up in “good hunting grounds’’ for speeders “rather than because they had a history of collisions.”
The watchdog’s report found that some local bodies have even protected their revenues by stopping police officers using driver education to improve road safety.
The publication said:
Apparent unwillingness to support education over enforcement had led to suspicion among officers, including some at a chief officer level, that the focus of activity was intended to increase revenue for the safety partnership.”
It goes on to explain that police forces and road safety partnerships don’t receive the funds from issued fines but are allowed to recover administrative costs.

The HMICFRS has called for police forces and their partners to:

  • make camera locations clearer
  • explain location choices
  • improve existing guidelines on the use of speed cameras
  • publish their revenues
  • publish details of revenue allocation

Britain’s Ten Most Profitable Cameras:

  • A104 Lea Bridge Road, London,: 38,234 tickets
  • A12 Stratford St Mary, Suffolk: 27,705 tickets
  • North Road, Cardiff: 22,267 tickets

  • A616 Stocksbridge bypass, South Yorkshire: 19,607 tickets
  • A1067 at Taverham, Norfolk: 19,398 tickets
  • A338 Wessex Way, Bournemouth: 15,669 tickets

TAWUSAN: Read-through
    By Anna Trowby

    18:00, Fri 10th July 2020 at Online Venue
    Summer Vacation

    TAWUSAN is a show about a group of indigenous Buryat Mongolians and the ways in which they are impacted by the Cultural Revolution in Inner Mongolia. Based loosely on the true story of the writer's family, TAWUSAN traces the impacts of the revolution and colonialism on these individuals and how it impacts them as they enter the new millennium. TAWUSAN is a visceral, vibrant and violent exploration of what it means to be part of such a vilified community that continues to be deprived of their rights and dignity. This idea is particularly pertinent to the writer's own experience, considering that she only recently discovered how rooted her family history is in violence and bloodshed.
    A read through will be performed in June on a virtual platform to test out how people respond to the intensity of the play's themes, whether the audience understands the complex and specific historical contexts informing the script, and whether this kind of play can be performed in the first place.

Article first published May 2017, updated February 2019.

Want an email that looks awesome and converts like crazy? We joined forces with the talented crew from Really Good Emails to take the guesswork out of designing an excellent email with this email design guide and checklist that’ll make every email you send more awesome.

In this guide, we’ll cover email design best practices for all the different elements of your email campaigns and have a bonus checklist for you at the end. So let’s get to it.

Subject Line

While not a traditional “design element” your subject line is considered one of the most important factors in getting your email opened so your subscribers can see your sweet design so make it engaging, personal, and relevant. Remember, that overuse of CAPS and unnecessary punctuation, as well as some words, can trigger spam filters so respect your subscribers and don’t go there. Use these words instead.

Topshop – Email Subject Line
Bonus: CoSchedule has an excellent Headline Analyzer that could also be applied to email subject lines.

Is longer better?

When it comes to email subject lines longer isn’t necessarily better. It’s important to keep in mind that your subscribers use a variety of different browsers and email clients as well as mobile devices to consume your emails.

According to data from Return Path, 65 characters seems to be a sweet spot for email subject lines, which is about 15 characters more than the average subject line. When subject lines are 61-70 characters long, they tend to get read. However, most email subject lines are between 41 and 50 characters.

Return Path – Email Subject Line – Length and Read Rate

What about symbols in subject lines?

The saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” may never be more true than when it comes to emoji. And emoji in email subject lines can have a major impact. Not only can they take the place of words, be attention-grabbing, and add a definite charm, they can increase your open rates. A report by Experian noted that fifty-six percent of brands using emoji in their email subject lines had a higher unique open rate. Consider us 👍.

Campaign Monitor - emoji in subject lines

Things to keep in mind when using emoji in email

If an emoji isn’t supported in the email client, the recipient may see a ☐ character instead.

Remember: Gmail has to have some extra special considerations when using emoji. You may notice in Gmail when you use emoji in the subject line the icon will look different in the inbox view and after the email has been opened. This is due to the inbox view using the Android version of the emoji, meanwhile, the opened email view uses Google’s own emoji style. While the emoji basically look the same, it’s still worth testing to make sure the same sentiment is expressed in both versions.

In addition, for Inbox by Gmail, it’s currently not possible to insert emoticons in Inbox messages using the browser version.

Your preheader can be visible in the inbox preview and in the body of your email, or just in the preview pane if you want to save email real estate. Preheaders add valuable context to your subject line and can help your open rate. Keep it short (between 40-70 characters) and to the point. Use this space to help your customer know why the email is useful to them. Your subject line and preheader text should work together.

Birchbox – Email Design – Preheader Text

Emails with personalized subject lines are 26% more likely to be opened. Go beyond just using your subscriber’s name in the subject line and use other data you have to fuel super relevant messages.

Experian – Email Subject Line - Personalization

Adding company name, last purchase, or other information helps you to personalize the email in the perfect way for each subscriber. But really good personalization involves more than just injecting a first name. Think about how you could completely change the email based on someone’s information.

Stop thinking of emails as one-to-many and think about them as one-to-one—where each email is customized to each subscriber.

Humanization / Contextual Marketing

A term that’s been getting popular is contextual marketing or humanization which focuses on making the email more of a 1-to-1 engagement rather than a 1-to-many type email that’s one-size fits all.

This leads to emails specifically tailored to the subscriber which will lead to higher engagement.

Spotify is a great example with their year-end campaign showing each subscriber what their most listened songs were and where they ranked in their favorite artists’ fan rankings (based on how many times they listened to their music).

Making your email feel more “humananized” and like it was built for each subscriber has many benefits including increased engagement, better relationships with your subscribers, and even people getting excited to receive and open your email.

Dynamic Content

For those wanting to get serious with personalization, you can also dynamically change entire sections of content within your email to make the entire campaign more relevant and more appealing to subscribers.

A common use case for this would be showing menswear to your male subscribers while showing womenswear to female subscribers. Check out how Adidas did it in this email:

Adidas – Email Design – Dynamic Content

Email Layout

Your email layout should help the viewer know what they should check out first, and where they can go from there. They should be able to scan the email quickly using a logical hierarchy with large headlines and images focusing the attention. Use layout to break up space and help create chunks of content.

Inverted Pyramid

We’re big fans of the inverted pyramid model. It’s essentially a framework for structuring the elements of your email campaigns (headers, imagery, buttons, etc) so they work together to draw people in, deliver the key messages of your campaign and get them to click-through.

InVision – Email Design – Inverted Pyramid

By guiding a subscriber’s eye down the page to your CTA, you’ll encourage them to click through to explore more of what you have to offer, resulting in better brand awareness, more web traffic, and ultimately more sales.

Another effective design grid is an angular one with a zig-zag layout.

According to the graphic designer, Mary Stribley, an “angular layout is both enticing to look at as well as functional to order lots of information and imagery.”

You can create these angles through using imagery or color blocking in order to guide the reader through each step of the email. This not only creates a visually pleasing layout, it also helps to simplify each section of the email so that it is easy to read.

One Column

One column emails work great on desktop and mobile. These mobile first emails usually adapt to desktop and scale images. It helps consumers navigate the email without overwhelming them. The one column design makes it obvious what information is important and what you want a consumer to do next.

Email Width

To ensure that your email renders well in every email client, we can push the envelope on our email widths to at least 640 pixels. At widths wider than 640px Gmail doesn’t show any background color that would appear in the margins at most reasonable browser sizes (you can see them if you stretch your browser to wider than 1200px). For our designs, 600px is usually the sweet spot.

Plus, email clients don’t use the full width of your screen to display an email message. Some show ads or have navigation or a menu so there are limitations to the real estate on a screen.

When using images in your emails, it’s important to keep the following in mind:

  • Dimension – most emails are 600-640px wide. However, to keep your image crisp on high-resolution displays, you need to make your image 2x the size (ie. 1200px) and use the image attributes and CSS to keep the image at the width you want.
  • File Size – It’s easy to forget about file size in an email but you want to make sure your images are optimized. Especially since more than 50% of emails are opened on mobile devices. The bigger the email, the longer it’ll take for mobile subscribers to view and thus create a negative experience with your email. Read more about best practices for image-heavy emails here.
  • Alt Text – If your image doesn’t load or breaks somewhere along the sending process, Alt Text is the text that will display in its place. This is another area that many email marketers overlook. Add in helpful Alt Text that adds to your message in the case that your image doesn’t load. If your image has text on it, I usually write the overlaying text as the alt text. This way if the image doesn’t load, the text will still be read. Including ALT text also makes your email more accessible.
  • Use images that complement the email – Your email should not be a bunch of images placed together. An image should add to the email and messaging—not be the messaging. A simple way to test this is to view your email with images turned off. Does the email still make sense? Is the message still clear? Our friends at Email Monks offer some solid advice on the optimal text to image ratio.
  • Stock Images – Stock imagery can sometimes take your audience out of the messaging. Keep your images on brand and genuine. Take the time if you have the opportunity to create specific imagery for your email campaign! If not, use imagery from paid sites like or free sites like Here are a few more to check out.

Images and Alt Text

Alt text is simply the alternative text displayed with an image. Think of it as the backup text that provides some context about what your image is, for those that have images blocked or turned off by default. Many marketers learn about alt text the hard way by forgetting to use it and suffering the consequences. Don’t be that person.

As you can see from the example below, when images are blocked, subscribers see what looks like a broken image, or a red “X”. In this case, alt text indicates that there is an image and provided a little context about the image to encourage subscribers to “turn on or enable” images in the email.

When it comes to email marketing, it’s best practice to use web fonts wherever you can, however, it’s important to keep in mind, that not all email clients offer universal support for web fonts.

Example: Uses @import + @fontface to bring in Clobber, Gotham Book, Gotham Medium, and Montserrat fonts.

Google Fonts is a great resource to add web fonts to your emails. We suggest using live text when possible for better legibility across devices and consistent brand experience from email to website to add web fonts to your emails.

@import url

Currently, the @import method is not supported in AOL using IE11 and Android 2.3.

<link href=”” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>

The <link> method is fully supported among the email clients listed above. Web font services will provide you with the href value to use for your web font of choice. If you’re hosting your own web-font, you’ll have to change the href value to where you’ve hosted your web font.

<style type="text/css">
@media screen {
   @font-face{
       font-family:'Open Sans';
       font-style:normal;
       font-weight:400;
       src:local('Open Sans'), local('OpenSans'), url('') format('woff');
   }
}
</style>

Think of the @font-face method as a direct-to-the-source sort of method of importing your web fonts. It can be more reliable to import the web font directly from the source as you can choose which format of web font you want to import. Especially if you’re given a choice, which some web font suppliers do have.

If web fonts are not supported there are fallback fonts that will be seen instead. When setting fallbacks, remember to use a “web safe font”. System fonts like Calibri are not always supported across all clients.

Email Marketing - Safe Web Fonts

Each email client also has a preferred or default font which users would see instead of your chosen web font. The three most popular desktop email clients have the following defaults:

Apple Mail = Helvetica
Gmail = Arial
Microsoft Outlook = Times New Roman

Outlook is a special case. If a webfont fails in Outlook, it ignores the fallback fonts and just decides to render everything in Times New Roman. If this happens, add this CSS to your email and you should be good to go.

<!--[if mso]>
<style type="text/css">
body, table, td, p, li, a {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important;}

Add other elements like p, li, a, etc. if you need to fix Outlook rendering Times New Roman on those elements too.

White Space

White space is the blank area around your paragraphs, images, and call to action buttons.

Adding ample white space around the elements in your email encourages click-throughs by separating them visually from other elements in your email and helping focus the reader’s attention on them at the right time. It can also increase the legibility of your email and improves the eyes’ ability to follow the content. Use your best judgment to ensure your copy and CTA button are separated enough to stand out, but close to enough that your readers know they’re connected.

Mobile Optimization

Email opens on mobile devices just keep increasing year after year. The latest stats are that over 68% of email opens occur on mobile. Making your emails mobile-friendly is easier than ever by:

  • Using a mobile-friendly template
  • Keep your subject line short
  • Use preheader text
  • Use minimal body copy
  • Use one clear and easy to click CTA button (According to a recent MIT study, the average size of an adult index finger is between 1.6cm and 2 cm, which translates to between 45 x 45px and 57 x 57px on a mobile device.) Multiple CTAs can be confusing and lead to overwhelm, which you definitely want to avoid.
  • Increase the size of body copy if it’s small on desktop emails. (16px is a good size for mobile)
  • Make sure your images aren’t too small or hard to see when on mobile

Coding Mobile Emails

If you are coding your emails, there are two approaches to mobile emails: responsive and hybrid.

Responsive uses media queries and CSS to override the existing styles when the email is viewed on a small display.

@media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.responsive-table {
display: block;
width: 100% !important;

.responsive-image {
height: auto;
max-width: 100% !important;

Hybrid gets a little more complex but relies on using a fluid layout that will shrink and grow with the size of the display. Plus, it doesn’t rely on media queries which can be a big bonus if you’re targeting email clients that don’t support media queries.

CTAs + Bulletproof Buttons

An ideal CTA button has three main aspects that work together to create an effective conversion point for the reader:

  • Copy – be specific and focus on the benefit
  • Design – stands out, appropriately sized, has whitespace around it
  • Placement – the ideal placement of the CTA button is relative to the complexity of the offer. If the offer is more complex, you may need more explanation copy before the CTA.

It’s always good to have a couple different button types for different priorities in your email. For example, having an orange button with white text for your main CTAs and light gray buttons with dark text for secondary elements. However, it’s important to keep the number of CTAs to a minimum in your email. Focus on where you want people to go and remove any unneeded noise. Here are some things you should consider when crafting your button:

  • Size – Keep your buttons big enough that people can tap on them on their phone. Typically that means around 50 pixels tall.
  • Color – Most brands match the color of their button to their brand’s colors, contrasting against the background color and the space around it. Hover effects (changing color when one scrolls over) is supported by most email clients and is being used more often.
  • Frequency – The number of buttons you have in an email is determined by how many actions are possible to take. For retailers, that may be multiple products with each have their own button. For others, that may be just one to focus on the most important message.
  • Language – The button is there for viewers to take action, so an active verb is typically used to help them take that action.

Because many email clients will block image loading by default, designing your buttons as images can have a negative effect. Using a “bulletproof button” (a small snippet of HTML and in-line CSS) will ensure that your button is rendered when images are turned off. You can use this tool to create one:

Check every link in your email on mobile and desktop. Things to look for include if it goes to where you wanted it to, does it have UTM tracking, is it clear in the email that it’s a clickable link, are any email browsers changing the color of your links?

Also, keep an eye on dates in your email. Even though you don’t link them, Gmail and Apple like to “help” by turning them into blue clickable links. You can use CSS to override the link style to look like regular body text.

How to stop Apple from making links blue:
a[x-apple-data-detectors] {
color: inherit !important;
text-decoration: none !important;
font-size: inherit !important;
font-family: inherit !important;
font-weight: inherit !important;
line-height: inherit !important;

It’s common to think that when you use video in email, that the video will simply play, right inside the email. That would be a magical thing, much like a rainbow unicorn, but many email clients like Gmail, Outlook, Thunderbird, and others don’t support the technical requirements needed to play video inside the email.

But over half of email clients support HTML5 so you can definitely embed video in your email or many ESPs enable you to have a static image with a play button that links to the hosted version of the video. You can also use an animated GIF instead.

Pro Tip: Use a video thumbnail with a play button or GIF teaser of the video to get more clicks.

Animated GIFs are a great alternative to using video if you want to add moving content to your emails.

Animated GIF files can get rather large the more animation, frames, and colors there are in the image. To keep them as small as possible, only animate what you need to animate, keep it short, and don’t use every color in the book.

It’s a good idea to keep your GIF file size as close to 1MB as possible. Under is perfect. A little over is still okay too.

Understand your audience to know what kind of language will work best. Some subscriber lists are more formal whereas other are casual and okay with the odd profanity inclusion (tread lightly here unless you are one hundred percent sure your audience can handle it.) Writing a high-performing email campaign isn’t hard if you stay true to your brand and optimize the key parts of your email.

Always send a test of your email to at least two other people who can check your email top to bottom with fresh eyes and look for typos, grammatical errors and other mishaps. You can use this preflight email checklist to avoid common errors before you push send.

A/B Testing

A/B testing can be applied to many components of your email but the subject line is one of the most popular, and easy things to test. Most ESPs make this super simple and include it as part of their system.

Email Campaign – A/B Testing – Email Subject Line

Some interesting things you can test in your subject lines include:

  • Length – Test short subject lines vs. longer subject lines (this is the topic of much debate in the marketing world)
  • Topic – Test two completely different topics as the subject line, to see what content is of most interest to subscribers
  • Personalization – Add personalization to identical subject lines to see if a first name greeting, for example, gets a better response.
  • Promotion/Offer – See what kind of promotion works best by offering “Free Shipping” vs. “15% Off”

Bonus: CoSchedule, uses Campaign Monitor to send their popular email newsletter The Content Marketing Update. See how they systematically A/B test email subject lines to find out what works for their audience. And get the free guide to A/B testing your campaigns.

Your email will need at least the address of the company which is sending it and an unsubscribe link to be compliant with government regulations around the world. Your legal team will probably want to add in some other information such as terms and conditions too if it applies to your messaging. It is always good to get a sign-off from a manager or counsel to make sure that you have everything necessary to protect your rights.

Social Links

Even though it will be a small percentage of clicks from your email, it is always a best practice to show your audience where else they can follow your company. Each social media platform has its own purpose, which your email may not be satisfying. Select the ones that your company uses the most (there’s no need to show every single social profile your company has). Social icons that match your branding or the rest of the email is a nice touch.

Be sure to show the difference of social share vs. social page icons.

Consider including a link to download your app if you have one.

Want to spread the word about your product or service? Include a referral link section of your brand has an incentive program set up. It’s a good module to include in transactional emails.

Contact us or support links. Ask for feedback about the email. If your email is a noreply@ then give your customers a clear way they should reach out to you. Shows brand has a customer support focus and gives customers the opportunity to speak up about their experiences.

The Well Mannered Pet Program

In the Well Mannered Pet program I will teach your dog to walk properly on a leash. Your dog will stay at your left leg and walk even with you no matter what the distractions are around him. On one of our lessons we will go somewhere public to ensure that your dog will heel properly in public. You dog is also taught to sit and stay. Most dogs around your neighborhood know how to sit but very few know how to stay for a prolonged period of time. That time is determined by the release command. So I teach your dog that he has to hold the position until you say you’re through. This tells the dog that the command is over and it’s time to get his praise. Sit stays are normally good for about 2-3 minutes and are not that comfortable. For longer stays we would go to the down command. This teaches the dog to lie down and we can build up your dog to usually 10-15 minutes in this position. This is useful in the vets office or when you are in the kitchen and don’t want the dog underfoot. You would then put the dog into a down stay.

Your dog would be taught to get back away from open doors. This is extremely useful when you are entertaining guests and you want to let people in and out. This is for a dog that might get stepped on such as the toys breeds or a larger breed that might knock over your guests. By teaching your dog to get back away from a door, we also can ensure that he or she will not run out that door. This allows your guests to come in or out without the dog being right there underfoot. Once the door is closed and secure, then we release the dog up to the people and teach him how to greet people properly.

The most important command a dog learns is the come command. Your dog would be taught that on the command come he should run directly to you and then sit and wait for further orders. He is also taught the place command. This is by far my clients’ favorite command in that you can use this in so many different areas of the dog’s life and yours. I take a dog bed or throw rug and on the command place, I teach the dog to stay there as a time out. This is an extended time out because he has the freedom of movement on the place and he’s allowed to have toys. Also we can move this from room to room so he never feels exiled. We can put it in whatever room you are entertaining in. You can also bring it with you to someone else’s house if you use a dog bed, throw rug or some type of a mat. Because your dog is extremely comfortable on place in whatever room you’re in we can expect your dog to stay there approximately 45 minutes plus. This is ideal when company initially comes over.

So now we have taught your dog to get back away from an open door. Once your guests are in, he’s been taught to come up to them without jumping, and then we send him to a place to calm down for the rest of their stay. This is ideal for a dinner party, anytime the kids want to play on the floor and don’t want the dog in their face, or anytime you are watching a movie and maybe your dog is a little too active. These are all situations where you can put your dog in place rather than having to put them outside or put them away. Also part of this program is to teach your dog all of the rules of the house. This would mean anything that you determine as improper behavior in your home. Everything from stealing socks to digging holes in the yard, jumping up on people, or going up on counter-tops. Whatever you deem to be improper behavior is corrected.

Chapel in the Pines

  • Details

    The Chapel in the Pines is treasured by many as a beautiful “Carpenter Gothic” style Victorian church.

    The building had its origins in the growing desire by many late-19th century New Englanders to move away from the strictures of fundamentalist religion. Universalist Societies were providing a liberal alternative to rigidly conservative denominations. The Eastham Universalist Society was formed in August of 1889 and drew into its membership such prominent local citizens as Sea Captain Edward Penniman and the Knowles and Nickerson families. Stories about its founding include nightmares experienced by Captain Penniman’s daughter following fire-and-brimstone sermons at the Methodist church and the arrest of  local fishermen for the “sin” of fishing on the Sabbath. The movement to establish a proper home for the new Society was on!

    One of the Nickersons donated a plot of land, and Captain Penniman chaired the building committee. Under the direction of Elkany Hopkins, many Society members contributed long hours to the construction of the small, graceful building with its gothic-style stained-glass windows, steeply pitched roof and steeple, and welcoming entry porch. The building was completed in just five months!

    Whether by design or accident, the vaulted ceiling of the sanctuary provides superb acoustics, praised by musicians as well as speakers. Since 1974, it has been the home of the First Encounter Coffeehouse, hosting a wide variety of folk musicians, and is known far and wide as one of the best spaces in which to perform. Various other community groups make use of this welcoming space for workshops and events, and it has always been a popular site for weddings and memorial services.

    In 2018, the Chapel underwent its most recent renovation with money raised from neighbors and friends and two grants from the Town of Eastham's Community Preservation Act funds. The recent renovation included restoring the word shingled roof and steeple, construction of a commercial grade kitchen, installation of a handicapped accessible bathroom, and a pond-side deck, as well as improvements to the wheelchair ramp and adjacent parking. These upgrades, all reviewed by historic preservationists, have improved the Chapel's functionality in countless ways.

Josephine Carandang-Garcia: MAT helps opioid abusers live beyond the myths and stigma of the epidemic

Not my child. Not in our neighborhood. Conversations about substance use disorders are often met with denial, stereotypes and myths.

But with almost 4,000 opioid overdoses in Anne Arundel County since 2015 and a nationwide opioid epidemic, most county residents now realize that SUDs do exist in our communities and sometimes in our own homes.

There is greater awareness and understanding today about opioid dependency. According to the 2019 Maryland Public Opinion Survey on Opioids, 80 percent of county respondents are concerned or very concerned about prescription opioid abuse, compared to 71 percent four years ago. Still, families and friends may discourage medication-assisted treatment (MAT) due to fear and mistrust brought on by myths and stigma.

Addiction is a brain disease. While the body can detoxify from opioids in a few days; the brain needs months or years for recovery. Opioid dependency is a chronic illness, and similar to hypertension or diabetes, a chronic disease requires chronic long-term treatment. Cold turkey abstinence is not effective. Ninety percent of people in abstinence-based treatment return to illicit opioid use within a year.

With the options of buprenorphine, methadone or naltrexone (Vivitrol), MAT is a scientifically proven method toward long-term recovery. A study from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine shows that long-term MAT helps individuals with opioid use disorders cut their risk of death in half. MAT addresses the number one goal in the fight against the opioid epidemic -- to save lives.

Two common myths pose conflicts among people who are ambivalent about MAT.

Myth: Medication-assisted treatment trades one addiction for another.

TRUTH: Methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone reduce cravings, prevent withdrawal, reduce negative health outcomes, improve retention in treatment, and help normalize brain function. With these treatment options, an individual can focus on developing healthy thought and behavior patterns that will lead to a successful recovery. MAT, combined with counseling and attention to medical, psychiatric and socioeconomic issues, has the highest probability of being effective.

Many of our recovery clients are able to develop sustainable healthy relationships, regain the family life they had once lost and maintain employment.

Access to MAT can easily fit into one’s work or school schedule. For instance, buprenorphine is conveniently prescribed and dispensed at doctor offices. Buprenorphine can be taken orally daily; it can also be administered through subcutaneous extended release that lasts 30 days or a subdermal implant lasting six months.

Myth: Medication-assisted treatment is only for a short term.

TRUTH: Some people only need MAT for a few months, while others benefit from it for years. As long as the medication is taken as directed, under the supervision of a medical professional, it is safe and effective for short or long-term use.

Addiction’s effect on each person’s life is unique. The success of MAT is rooted in an individualized recovery plan addressing a person’s specific physical, mental and spiritual needs and issues. Counseling is a critical component of the recovery plan.

It took time to develop self-destructive patterns from drug misuse; likewise, it takes time to re-learn healthy ways of thinking and behaving. Overcoming opioid addiction is hard work. A client said, “From where I am now in my recovery, I cannot believe who I’d become in my addiction.”

Lifestyle changes on the road to recovery can be challenging. Changes include abstaining from substance misuse, finding purpose and meaning in a self-directed life, and enjoying healthy relationships. In the end, successful recovery is possible and MAT is one means to that success.

To get more information about MAT or to schedule an intake appointment, call the Department of Health’s Road to Recovery Program at 410-222-0100 (Glen Burnie) or 410-222-6001 (Annapolis).

Spring Fishing on Sanibel & Captiva Islands

Finally the waters have warmed over 70 and are likely to stay above 70 this year.  With the warming temps at 74-75 the magic number for many species.  Redfish are again showing up in number, Snook is improving every day.  And the first Tarpon have pushed into the bay for the dedicated die hard tarpon addict.

I will switch primarily to tarpon around mid April as the waves of fish continue to push in.    If you’ve not fought a Silver King, your missing one of the greatest fishing adventures you could ask for.   Strong and acrobatic, we had a near 200 lb fish pull us 4.5 miles in the Gulf, a 24 ft Pathfinder with 3 people on board.  Incredible.  I’t wasn’t all “pull” we have chase to get 300 yards of line back as it kept nearly spooling us.   Not doing so would have risked a cut off by a passing boat.

One of the more interesting things this spring is the number of slot sized permit being caught, in the gulf beach zone and in the Mangroves.   Tipped Jigs with Shrimp and on a float is getting the job done.    Pompano are running near the passes, and the lighthouse Bar. Cobia are starting their annual run, Kingfish wont be far behind.  Triple Tail on the crab bouy’s, Big Trout are prowling the flats.   Opportunities abound.  The nearshore and offshore wreck and reefs are loaded with snapper, grouper and cobia.

This 4-5 week period from now forward will offer some of the years best fishing in the Sanibel Captiva and Pine Island Sound area.

Send a request with your dates below, Im on the water most days but will call you in between trips or at the end of the day.

Tight Lines!

A supercharged V8 has returned to selected Holden showrooms with the arrival of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.
- shares

Australian muscle car enthusiasts have been in mourning since the shutdown of local automotive manufacturing in late 2017. As many feared, we didn’t realise what we'd lost until it was gone.

Although it sounds like a cliché, Australian-made performance cars truly were the most metal – and had the most power – for the money anywhere in the world.

While demand for Aussie V8s climbed in the lead-up to the factory closures, these performance variants were only made possible by the six-cylinder family and fleet sedans that once dominated our driveways. It was relatively cheap to add a V8 to a car that already existed, than it was to design a performance vehicle from scratch.

Once buyers shifted away from sedans and into SUVs, the plug got pulled on the whole damn lot. The factories closed and we became a nation that imports all its vehicles. No more cheap V8s.

By a fortunate coincidence, Ford Australia was able to fill the void left by the Falcon V8 after Detroit decided to bite the bullet and make the Mustang a global model – even if at first it did not make financial sense.

Holden, on the other hand, was left without a V8 in its showrooms for the first time since the 1960s, when the homegrown Commodore reached the end of the line.

To fill the gap, Holden’s performance-car partner for the previous 30 years, Holden Special Vehicles, embarked on a mission to import the Mustang’s US rival, the Camaro, and convert it to right-hand drive at its facility in Clayton, south-east of Melbourne.

While it might seem like a straightforward process, it is anything but – especially as the vehicle must be crash-tested three times to ensure it meets Australian safety and quality standards in order to be sold as a 'full volume' model rather than a private import.

It takes about 12 hours to convert a US pick-up to right-hand drive, but the same process for the Camaro is three-and-a-half days because it’s more complex. A ute body and chassis are easily separated, but a car like the Camaro needs to be stripped back to a shell, and much of the building process started all over again.

More than 500 new and unique components go into a HSV-built Camaro, many from suppliers that previously made parts for local manufacturers. Which is why it has been such a long road getting to this point, and why there is a $20,000-plus price gap between the Ford Mustang and the entry-level Chevrolet Camaro 2SS that starts from $85,990.

After releasing an initial batch of 550 cars this time last year, Holden Special Vehicles has introduced a facelifted version of the 2SS with the option of a six-speed manual or a 10-speed auto. With a 6.2-litre V8 and, by coincidence, the same 10-speed auto used in the recently updated Mustang, the updated Camaro 2SS is a formidable package.

But the car we have here is the $160,000 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 powered by a supercharged 6.2-litre V8, the performance flagship of the range. It has so much grunt, it’s the most powerful vehicle ever turned out by Holden Special Vehicles.

For the tech heads, it has 477kW of power (or 650hp in the old money) and a mammoth 881Nm of torque, giving it a better power-to-weight ratio than HSV’s final locally made sedan, the $170,000 GTS-R W1.

The ZL1’s power output is slightly less than the 485kW claimed in the US, because the HSV version had to be tested to European emissions standards. There are no mechanical differences and there is no less power between the US and Australian versions, it was merely how the output was measured.

Likewise, it’s worth noting the Camaro ZL1 has significantly more grunt than the GTS-R W1 once power is compared to the same standards. The W1’s published output figures of 474kW/815Nm were measured to the older German DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) standard, which translate roughly to 466kW/801Nm according to ECE testing protocols.

Given the Camaro has more power and is about 100kg lighter than the W1, the ZL1 promises blistering performance. This presents a new problem: getting all that power to the ground via the rear wheels.

While the Camaro is as much about corners as it is about straight-line performance, it turns out to be quite a beast to move off the line smartly. Which is why I was stuck in a wall of smoke during the first few attempts to test its 0–100km/h credentials during the preview drive at Sandown Raceway. Granted, the road surface was cold and the circuit is known for its lack of grip, but this was comical.

Eventually, we eked out a time of 4.8 seconds which, for the uninitiated, is still quick. But there is no doubt that with the right tyres on a warm day and a sticky surface, there is time to be saved.

Fortunately, there is more to the Camaro ZL1 than its straight-line speed, although it must be said that its rolling acceleration is up there with the Mercedes-AMG C63 and BMW M3 sedans that we happened to be testing the week prior.

The steering is slightly heavier than the regular Camaro, but just as linear and responsive. The brakes (six-piston calipers up front and discs the size of pizza trays) have a superbly accurate feel that enables you to meter out precise amounts of braking force.

The standard tyres – road-legal racing rubber from Goodyear – didn’t pass Australian requirements for wet-weather emergency braking, so HSV switched to Continental tyres similar to those fitted to the final run of HSV Commodores, but much wider for extra grip.

Given that tyres are also a key part of how the suspension responds and feels, it’s remarkable that the ZL1 has lost none of its agility, and nor is it brittle to drive around town.

While most of the preview was on a racetrack, we did venture briefly into the suburbs and onto freeways, and came away impressed with how comfortable the ZL1 was to drive in normal conditions.

Best of all, though, is the supercharged sound. It’s intoxicating, but you need to take it in small doses, otherwise you may not have the freedom to drive on public roads for much longer.

The only question that remains, given the considerable cost: is the Camaro ZL1 a legitimate rival to the fast European sedans and coupes in the same price range?

The price is high compared to the US, not only because of the considerable cost of the conversion. The ZL1 is slugged with 33 per cent luxury car tax on every dollar above $66,331. Buyers in Victoria and Queensland will pay even more due to those states imposing their own arbitrary luxury tax.

It’s fair to say that buyers of fast Audis, BMWs and Mercedes might not cross-shop a Camaro ZL1, but they’d be missing out. For me, dollar for dollar, this US muscle car is more than a worthy rival to the Germans.

"Our latest Renault Kadjar to arrive with us, and she doesn't disappoint. This stunning example is the Signature model, which is top spec, and she lives up to that title with immense pride. The first thing to note is just how well she has been cherished by her previous lover, with everything from her paintwork, to her alloy wheels and through to the interior being in incredible condition. Since she was first registered in September 2016, she has covered just a meagre 36,945 miles on our beloved roads, which might indicate why she is in such good condition, she has clearly had a sheltered life so far. She comes packaged with the widely praised and economical 1.2 litre TCe engine, which packs a real punch while also returning some great fuel economy figures to help save those pennies for years to come. You can also be rest assured that she's in tip top shape mechanically too, as our technicians will complete her latest service and latest MOT as part of our preparation process - so you can simply drive away and enjoy everything she has to offer. Speaking of what she has to offer, well, you're in luck. She boasts an incredible range of features, including satellite navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, rear parking camera, front and rear parking sensors, park assist, DAB radio, dual zone climate control, two USB inputs, AUX input, cruise control, auto headlights, keyless ignition and multifunction steering wheel just to name a few. It's safe to say she certainly won't be hanging around, so please don't hesitate to contact the award winning team at Bristol Street Motors Renault Derby to arrange your unforgettable test drive today. We are located on Sir Frank Whittle Way in Derby, the best post code to use is DE21 4RX. We look forward to seeing you soon!"

This service is provided free of charge! As with all pre-owned used cars, our Factory trained Technicians have inspected the vehicle and serviced it in line with the Manufacturers specification and where applicable. We will also have carried out the MOT on the car (should it require one) and completed with no advisories. We can offer you a personalised video of the car on request so you can view the car from the comfort of your own home. Once you've watched, we know you'll want to drive it so we can now offer you an unaccompanied Test Drive without the pressure of having a Sales Consultant with you so you can test the car out yourself and with the family too if you want.

Negreanu Busts Hellmuth, Kevin Gerhart Wins WSOP Bracelet and $97K

Kevin Gerhart won his first WSOP bracelet and $119,054 last summer in the $1,500 Razz event. Just under one year later, Gerhart struck gold again with a victory in the $500 Pot-Limit Omaha event to earn his second World Series of Poker bracelet and a top prize of $97,572.

Gerhart (TheRealKG) is no stranger to tournament success. From 2016 through 2019, he recorded 114 live tournament cashes per his Hendon Mob profile. Gerhart entered this series with a circuit ring, a bracelet, and 41 cashes for $302,363 in WSOP events. The Ohio native outlasted a field of 1,137 entries in what was the longest event of the online series to date, clocking in at 13 hours and two minutes.

Chris Moorman (Robotbob47) made his deepest run of the series in Event #20 before eventually settling for fourth place and a prize of $28,601. Moorman is working his way up the $100,000 Online Bracelet Series leaderboard with this being his fourth straight cash; he earned $825 for a 245th-place finish in Event #19, $5,157 for a 27th-place finish in Event #18, and $4,159 for a 33rd-place finish before making the money again in Monday’s event.

$500 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed Results

  1. 1. Kevin Gerhart (TheRealKG) $97,572
  2. 2. Cody Brinn (Duckmoney420) $60,324
  3. 3. Jenny Svancara (Mobey) $41,290
  4. 4. Chris Moorman (Robotbob47) $28,601
  5. 5. Adam Jones (AdamJ080584) $20,210
  6. 6. Shanmukha Meruga (Shanmukha) $14,480

Negreanu Busts Hellmuth En Route to a 25th-Place Finish

The online rail for the $500 PLO event was in full swing on Monday evening as Daniel Negreanu (DNegs) and Phil Hellmuth (Lumestackin) were both seated at the same 6-handed table with fewer than 100 players remaining. In the key hand at the table, Negreanu raised under the gun and called a short-stack shove from Hellmuth to his immediate left.

Negreanu tabled the 8♣ 6♥ 4♥ 5♦ and was behind against Hellmuth’s K♥ K♦ Q♦ 10♠. The 7♣ A♠ J♦flop brought no immediate help to Negreanu, but the 4♣ on the turn brought in his backdoor straight draw and the 3♠ on the river completed the nut straight, eliminating Hellmuth in 95th-place ($921). On Twitter, Negreanu lamented the fact that he didn’t get the chance to experience a Hellmuth blow-up in person.

Connor Drinan (666666) once again gave Negreanu a sweat on their $100,000 bracelet bet with another deep run before being eliminated in 11th-place ($5,913)

Other Notable Finishes

  • 20th Gregory Raymer (FossilMan) $3,530
  • 36th Shaun Deeb (Ddtgg) $2,302
  • 44th Max Pescatori (MaxSparrow) $1,586
  • 51st Ryan Depaulo (Joeyisamush) $1,381
  • 55st Ryan Riess (BiTC0iN) $1,228
  • 64th Brandon Shack-Harris (pretty_noose) $1,228
  • 79th Jesse Sylvia (MrJesseJames) $972

The WSOP online series continues today with a $777 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Max event. Players will start with 15,000 in chips and be entitled to two rebuys.

Advertiser Disclosure

It’s all about you. We want to help you make the right coverage choices.

Advertiser Disclosure: We strive to help you make confident insurance decisions. Comparison shopping should be easy. We partner with top insurance providers. This doesn’t influence our content. Our opinions are our own.

Editorial Guidelines: We are a free online resource for anyone interested in learning more about auto insurance. Our goal is to be an objective, third-party resource for everything auto insurance related. We update our site regularly, and all content is reviewed by auto insurance experts.

Here's what you need to know...

  • Car insurance is a Property and Casualty policy that protects you against property losses and liability losses
  • If you have an accident, you can file a first-party claim against your policy or a claim with the other company
  • If you have an accident, you must have active coverage at the time of the loss to report a claim
  • Companies must honor claims as long as the policy was active on the date that the accident happened
  • If your car is totaled and you don’t have a new one, you can cancel your insurance and still get your settlement

As a child, you quickly learn the importance of having car insurance when you’re playing the ever-popular game called Life. This game shows and proves that you never know when you’re going to get into an accident.

Life might just be a game, but it teaches young players a very important lesson. You don’t just have to buy insurance, you need to buy insurance.

If you get into an accident, knowing how your insurance works after you file a claim could make all of the difference.

When should you file a claim to your car insurance for benefits?

If your car has a small scratch or you have a dent from a runaway rock flying through the air, you might not need to file a claim for benefits.

You can either pay to repair the minimal damage on your own or you can live with the fact that your car will get bumps and bruises over time.

It’s when you have an accident or you discover significant damage that you should consider filing a claim with your carrier.

You can only file a first-party claim against your policy when you have first-party coverage.

If you have only a basic policy with liability coverage, you can’t request benefits under your insurance but you should still tell your insurer about the accident to protect yourself.

What happens if another driver is at fault for the accident?

If you crash and you’re not at fault for the accident, you will file a third-party claim against the other party’s insurance.

Instead of contacting the other driver’s company directly, you should call your agent and give the claims department the details.

After you file the claim on your end, your adjuster will communicate with the other carrier.

Your claims adjuster will compare your statement to statements made by other drivers involved.

After everything has been investigated, the fault decision will be made on both sides. It only drags a claim out when the companies can’t agree on the fault determination.

Your Policy Must Be Active At the Time of the Accident

If the insurance company finds that you’re more than 50 percent at fault for the accident, you can’t file a claim as a third-party claimant.

You’ll have to collect against first-party coverage options if you want to recoup for your financial loss.

Some of the coverage options that you can collect against include:

  • Comprehensive – pays for your vehicle repairs after a fire loss, a theft, a flood loss, or another non-moving peril
  • Collision – pays to repair or replace your car after it’s damaged while your vehicle is being operated
  • Medical Payments – pays for your medical bills if you’re injured in a vehicle-related accident
  • Uninsured Motorist Protection – pays for your medical bills and rehabilitation costs when someone who doesn’t have insurance hits you

As long as your policy is in effect on the day of the loss, your insurer is obligated to pay out benefits to you.

Your policy could be set to cancel in the upcoming days or it could be paid in full and you’ll receive the same amount of money under the policy either way.

Can you request that your policy is canceled after you file an accident claim?

There’s no sense in paying to insure a car that you’re selling to the insurer after it’s totaled.

While this is a scenario where you should cancel your policy, it’s not always advisable to cancel your coverage.

Many experts recommend staying with the same carrier until the claim is closed just so that there aren’t any unreasonable delays.

Know the Consequences of Canceling Your Insurance Early

Your accident claim will be covered regardless of what you decide to do with your policy. Having your claim paid in a timely manner isn’t the only thing you have to worry about.

Here are some of the consequences that you should be aware of before you cancel your insurance after an accident:

  • You legally have to keep insurance on your car until you sign it over to the insurer (even if it’s a total loss)
  • If you cancel insurance on your car and it’s still in your name you could be fined by the DMV
  • If you still drive your car and you don’t have insurance you could be cited or have your car impounded
  • If you have a lapse in coverage, your future insurance rates could go up

You have the right to cancel your insurance at any time. You can even cancel your policy after an accident without it affecting your claim. There are still consequences to be aware of.
