![]() A kitten inherits two copies of each gene from its parents (one from each), and each gene can be either dominant or recessive. Female cats have two X chromosomes (XX) while males have one X and one Y (XY).Ĭats inherit a combination of genes from both parents, though the wide variety of colors you see in cats come from just two main colors: black and orange (or red). When it comes to feline genetics, characteristics like coat color and pattern are carried on the X chromosome. A common example of a bi-color orange tabby is an orange tabby cat with pure white patches. These tabbies have a combination of tabby patches which are darker in coloration than the rest of the body. While traditional tabby cats often exhibit the same solid orange tabby pattern all over their bodies, orange tabby cats can often be seen in a bicolor pattern. The most common breeds of ticked tabby are the Somali and Abyssinian breeds. ![]() Ticked orange tabbies have the typical tabby markings on their foreheat and the same agouti fur, but any stripes or spots are very subtle and may not be visible except in strong light. This tabby variety is the most unique and can be difficult to identify as a tabby because there are no obvious spots or stripes. In fact, experts aren’t quite sure whether spotted tabby cats developed from mackerel tabbies or whether they simply have different genes. Spotted tabbies have bright spots of varying size all over their sides which can be difficult to distinguish from the mackerel tabby pattern. Tabby cats are primarily known for their stripes, but they can also have spots. ![]() They have a random series of dark and light orange swirls, much like a bullseye. These cats have bold, swirling patterns on their backs that resembling the marbling you’d see in a cake. While the mackerel tabby may be the quintessential tiger cat, the classic tabby is the most common. Though they may look like tiger stripes, they actually branch out from a single stripe running down the cat’s spine which creates a pattern that resembles a fish skeleton, hence the name “mackerel.” 2. In an ideal example of the pattern, the stripes are evenly spaced with no broken lines. The mackerel tabby is the iconic “tiger cat” with narrow stripes running parallel down the length of its body. When you hear the phrase “orange tabby” this is probably the variety you picture. Now that you have a better idea of what physical characteristics define the orange tabby, let’s take a closer look at each of the five tabby patterns. Though each orange tabby is different, tabbies in general have specific characteristics that are easily identified. In other cats, the striping is much more subtle or appears only on the cat’s legs and tail. In some orange tabbies, the stripes may be bold and clearly visible running down the length of the cat’s back and body. While tabby cats come in an array of patterns, most have some degree of striping on their coats. The tabby pattern comes in five different varieties: The term tabby refers to the combination of stripes, spots, and swirls which cover the cat’s body.ĭepending on the breed of cat and its individual genetics, the tabby pattern can be localized to patches or certain body parts, or it could cover the entire body of the cat. ![]() What Makes Orange Tabby Cats So Special?Īll cats are beautiful, but orange tabby cats are known for their colorful coats and unique pattern. Click here to read our review of the Basepaws cat DNA test kit. Wish you could learn more about the genes that make your cat special? Cat DNA testing could be the answer. That being said, there are some interesting facts about orange tabbies you should know. How can you not love a ginger cat, especially one with tiger stripes?īecause the orange tabby is not a specific breed of cat, it’s difficult to make overarching generalizations about things like temperament and personality. Tabbies are known for their striped coats and, while they come in a wide variety of colors, the orange tabby is uniquely beautiful. While the term “tabby” doesn’t refer to a specific breed of cat, it does represent one of the most common coat patterns seen in the world of cats – both wild and domestic. The orange tabby cat is not a breed, but it is certainly one of the most iconic (and some would say cutest) cats out there. What do famous cats like Garfield, Morris, and Milo have in common? They’re all orange tabby cats. ![]() ![]() Other plan details: Domestic data roaming at 2G speeds int’l data reduced to 3G speeds after the first 2 GB/day.

The standout piece of art in this book has to be the singular action scene focusing on Madman. These characters are full of personality and detail under his pen and the book is immensely better for it.Ī part of the world being so detailed, though, is that Shaw is presumably also sticking these wink-and-nod references in the background and it’s only fair to say that it’s getting old on his part as well. Most of the time the story is succeeding, it’s because you can connect with the sudden glee Shaw is depicting Ava with, or the consternated decision making of Madman. He also makes a conscientious effort to fill these characters with as much emotional weight as possible. His work is dynamic and exciting, and the pop-art aesthetic given to the real-world comic book characters never gets old. However, this only exacerbates Cates earlier issues because readers can notice how comparatively better Madman’s presence in this book is to anyone else’s.įrom the first few pages, though, it’s fairly evident that Shaw is the star of this book. He’s consistently the most heroic character in the book, and that’s a simple concept that shockingly works really well in superhero books. His presence in this book is exciting, but even more than that Cates writes him in such a kind, lovable manner that he’s impossible not to enjoy. In contrast to all of that, Cates’ work shines most in this book, and Shaw’s too for that matter, when it focuses on Madman. This isn’t to say readers should have expected Superman or Doctor Strange to show up in this series, but rather to say that Cates is largely failing to deliver on relevant surprises, or on the exciting premise of this book. This wouldn’t be as much of an issue if Cates hadn’t teased Doctor Blaqk as both Superman and Doctor Strange earlier in the series. In a story sold as a fantasy-fueled crossover of comic book worlds, it comes across as vanity to have the Paybacks the focus of much of the story. What is a drag, though, is the over-pronounced presence of Cates’ own original characters. This isn’t a drag of C-list heroes though, as they are often the most fun elements of the series. ![]() It seems that truthfully, all readers are going to get here are C-list heroes and Cates’ own original creations.

![]() ![]() While Excel is already a pretty fast program, there are a few shortcuts that can help you work even faster. Whether you're a student, a business owner, or just someone who likes to keep track of things, Excel is a powerful tool that can help you get your work done faster. Those who like to use the mouse for everything and never use keyboard shortcuts (98% of the population) are oblivious to all of this, as they should be.If you're like most people, you probably use Microsoft Excel for a variety of tasks. ![]() Imagine if in a photo album application, where all of the photo thumbnails were displayed, after you were able to keyboard your way to a particular photo, you had to hit Command-O to open that photo? You’d go crazy! I’ve tried some photo applications like that, but I gave up on those quickly as they clearly didn’t understand the normal usage flow of their heavier users.Īgain, this is for the heavy super-users. Lastly, for anyone who lives by the keyboard, having to use two hands to manipulate the keyboard to select a file is highly highly inefficient, and THAT is truly retarded. So why would you have one usage be Command Open while the other is Enter? In this dialog, you don’t hit Command-O to select the file you want to open you hit Enter (or double click for those who don’t like to use the keyboard, but then, this thread shouldn’t be of any interest to you in the first place) to open the file. When you try to open a file with the context of an application like Word, Excel, or any other application, the application will pop open an instance of the File Chooser dialog box, which is actually just another view of Finder. I understand to increase their sales, MS has to keep mucking with their Office Suite, but they do it at the expense of everyone else who’s bought it up to that point).Īctually, here’s the reason Finder’s default key mapping is “retarded”. I’ve got all of that junk turned off permanently, although in Redmond’s Apple-esque wisdom, there is a lot of functionality in the Ribbon that isn’t available in the pulldown menus. (and don’t get me started about the ultra-retardation in the Windows ‘Ribbon’ recently. Which then means you can’t map Insert a Sheet to F10 or Insert Chart to Shift F10, which is the standard Windows Excel mapping. The one weird (though good, if you like it as so) aspect of doing so is that the volume/mute function keys will still work without hitting the Fn key together, which is a pain in the butt because you can’t use F10~F12 as standard keys. Given the number of times I actually change my screen brightness vs the number of times I have to edit a cell in Excel, it’s a worthy change. This means though you have to hit the Fn + F2/F3 keys to dim/brighten your screen etc. This will let you use the F2 key in Excel without dimming your screen. In your System Preferences / Keyboard / Keyboard, you’ll need to have the checkbox “Use all F1, F2, etc keys as standard function keys” checked. The way that you’ll have to get it to work is this: ![]() Then take control of the situation and use CONTROL+U to edit that cell and get on with your life. If you use F2 to edit a cell on a Mac, remember your screwed, and think FU. If you want to edit the active cell use the keyboard shortcut CONTROL+U. Edit the Active Cell in Excel for MacĬONTROL+U is the new F2 when you’re using Excel with a Mac. How could they do this? What were they thinking? Window users are screwed when it comes to keyboard shortcuts in Excel for Mac. ![]() But wait! In Excel for Mac the F2 key cuts text from the active cell. You want to edit a formula, hit the F2 key. It edits the active cell and positions the cursor at the end of the cell contents. The F2 key is a fundamental shortcut I learned early in my Excel life. The main gripe I have is that keyboard shortcuts should be the same in every version of Excel, yet the Windows and Mac worlds are light-years apart. Switching to a Mac has its advantages but Excel shortcuts isn’t one of them. ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the standout features of ZoomInfo is its vast database of accurate and up-to-date information on companies, contacts, and industries.

The composer even parodies his idol, Sondheim, in “Sunday,” where the petty indignities of a typical brunch shift build to an operatic crescendo. “See Her Smile” is an achingly simple portrait of a partnership in transition. “Johnny Can’t Decide” encapsulates the tug-of-war between remaining true to your ideals and recognizing the powerful lure of creature comforts.

That’s how we meet Jon (Andy Mientus), who tinkers, workshops, and kvetches between brunch shifts serving trendy food to entitled patrons. The sharp libretto and tuneful music capture a snapshot in time when a bohemian, artistic life was still within reach for the young and ambitious, when an aspiring composer could place himself at the heart of everything while supporting his dreams with a job as a diner waiter. ![]() After his death, playwright David Auburn ( Summer, 1976) reimagined it as a three-character distillation of Larson’s lean years as a struggling New York City composer. Larson initially devised the musical as a solo performance piece in which he wrestled with his 30th birthday at the dawn of the ’90s. But we Rentheads must content ourselves with the trunk of marginalia he left behind, much of which found its way into Tick, Tick…BOOM!, now onstage at Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Surely anyone who could retrofit Puccini’s La Bohème to the Lower East Side of the 1990s while adapting the musical language to a grunge-rock idiom would have achieved many great successes if given a Sondheim life expectancy. No one doubts the cultural impact or artistic value of his magnum opus, Rent, but in some ways, it only hints at the genius he possessed.
