Suppose we have some house price data for 30 years (1970-1999). This is yearly data (30 data points). Suppose some major event $X$ happened on 1980. I want to see whether this event affected prices later on. Is using median filters a good methodology for detecting outliers in later years?
I like the idea of looking for interventions that form level changes in a process. This can be done using ARIMA models and search for the changepoints. Our friend IrishStat does this with his autobox software as he so nicely demonstated yesterday.
I am sure he will be happy to give you more details and perhaps even do a data analysis for you.
I wouldn't call the level shifts outliers. There are various types of outliers in time series and numerous ways to try to detect them. We also discussed this either yesterday or today. Fox identified two type of outliers in his paper from back in the 70s.
If you know a priori that a major event occurred at a specific point in time, then one could use a piece of software (that I won't mention because I blush easily!) and specify that this "cause variable" can have contemporaneous and lag structures, THEN a PDL or ADL can be identified to quantify the contemporaneous and lagged structure. This is known as a Transfer Function Model or as an ARMAX model. If you don't have access to this kind of (not-so-expensive) software, then simply lag the indicator/event variable as many times as you think appropriate and estimate the ARMAX model, which of course would include your ARIMA specification and any other indicators reflecting the impact of pulses, level shifts, seasonal pulses and local time trends that were necessary to yield a Gaussian error structure, a.k.a. white noise.

Royal Wedding
That Was Then, This Is Now
It's been three decades since the last wedding of the century. What's changed? As Katie Nicholl writes in the May issue of Vanity Fair, Kate Middleton is no Diana 2.0. To see how William-Kate compares to Charles-Diana, we've itemized the nuptials' essential facts, from the guest lists' persona non grata to the cost of commemorative china.

Food & Spirits: From espresso shots in Naples to coffee-flavored gelato in Rome, discover exactly where today's coffee culture got its start by taking a tour of Italy's best cafes.
There's nothing like starting the day with a cappuccino. Nothing that is, unless you're starting that day with a cappuccino in Italy. Something hidden within the perfect crema, a dash of sugar, and milk foamed lighter than air makes you realize why this civilization in particular has not only survived for thousands of years but taught the rest of the world how to eat, drink, and be fashionable.
We've scoured the country from the sparkling vistas of Lake Como to the breathtaking Amalfi Coast and found, in no particular order, 10 cafes that make Italy's coffee culture the best in the world. No one does it better than the nation that invented espresso and if you haven't made the trip yet to see why, you might want to start stocking up on those frequent flier miles. Read. Sip. Enjoy. Ciao, bella!
Italy's Top Ten Must-See Cafes
U r absolutely right!!i did not have a cappuccino, but was there for an aperitif..enjoying a flute of Dom P, watching the sun going down over florence is just priceless!
I think you should try to have a Cappuccino sitting at the belvedere table in the terrazza restaurant of Il Salviatino www.salviatino.com: sippin cappuccino looking at the dome of Firenze is amazing! unfortunately is so difficult to have one of those tables!!!

Items marked with red have tested a 3 or above (out of 5) in comedogenic (pore-clogging) testing.
The list of ingredients above is provided for informational purposes only. Always check the actual product label in your possession for the most accurate ingredient information due to product changes or upgrades that may not yet be reflected on our web site.

Acne.org is not associated with this product. All proceeds from links go toward Acne.org maintenance.
[The prices listed above may change at any time and in some cases do not include shipping.]
It doesn't make your skin look shiny, which is nice. It's not moisturizing in itself but provides a decent amount of moisture for its weight. Stung my skin slightly. For normal to regularly dry skin, it should be OK, but for benzoyl peroxide-type dry skin, it does not suffice. My skin was so dry one morning, I applied it as soon as I got out of the shower (skipping an application benzoyl peroxide) in order to lock the moisture from the shower into my skin, but after some time, my skin still became plagued with dry patches. I could barely open my mouth without the skin around it peeling off. I even applied 3 or 4 coats of it: This still wasn't enough. On another note, it contains comedogenic ingredients. Bottom line: This moisturizer is good for normal to regularly dry skin from dry climate, dehydration, et cetera—not severely dry skin that you get from using a generous amount of benzoyl peroxide.
Let me just start by saying i have suuuuper dry skin.
I got a sample of this moisturizer from the medi spa I go to. I like it because it actually goes into the skin and makes my skin feel hydrated and comfortable, versus just sitting on top and making my skin feel sticky and dry. I will definitely purchase a bigger bottle.
While taking Claravis I started to get dry patches on my skin, almost like eczema, that were absolutely miserable. My dermetologist swore by this lotion (which was not available in many stores just yet) and he bought this stuff directly from the manufacture to sell for cheap to his patients. I was only paying about $8 if I remember correctly (versus the $15 in the store these days), so it was worth a shot. It helped so much!! Haven't found another lotion that gave me more relief, and I continue to use it post Claravis!
I switched to this lotion after acne.org's moisturizer just didn't work out for me. I was flaky and had extremely dry, hard patches from the bp and it only took two days for this stuff to get rid of those. It is very light and hydrates very well for me. I also found that it goes on very nicely. Some people say that it balls up a little, but I've never had that problem with this lotion (but perhaps because I only use 1 pump of bp once per day).
I am actually just completely in love with this moisturizer. It feels so good on the skin, absorbs well and makes my skin sooooo unbelievably smooth. It really has helped perfect the texture of my skin. It wears well under makeup and the 12oz bottle will go a nice long way. I've also not had any problem with it clogging my pores despite the combination of red flag ingredients. I'm sure that they might make some people break out, but it seems I'm not particularly bothered by them.
Long story short, I got million dollar skin for about $10.
A few people asked me to try this moisturizer so I gave it a go. Whenever I test products I do my absolute best not to change any other variables, so I just did The Regimen exactly, but swapped out Acne.org Moisturizer for CeraVe. For the first week it was great. CeraVe has a very light feel going on which is welcomed because thin products reduce physical irritation during application. It also looked fine on my skin all day and didn't make me shiny like some other moisturizers have. It also is very, very good at moisturizing. I could use only 1 and 1/2 pumps of it for my entire face and neck and stay hydrated all day.
However, it has Ceteareth-20 and Cetearyl Alcohol prominently listed on the ingredient deck, so I was a little worried it would clog my pores. The combo of these 2 ingredients, which are very often used together, rank as a 4 out of 5 for comedogenicity (potential to clog pores and cause acne). Since I know it can take about 2 weeks for acne to appear, I just enjoyed the product for the first week and well into the second week. Then wham. I got some pretty bad clogged pores around my nose...both sides of my nose and under my nose as well. The look was a "thickness" to my skin, with the beginnings of what would be stubborn breakouts starting to come on. This is exactly what I would expect from a pore clogging product.
Once I realized at about the second week mark that my skin was clogging up pretty badly, I stopped using it. That night I slathered on Acne.org AHA+ (10% glycolic acid) in place of moisturizer, and by the next morning I woke up looking much better. For the next 2-3 days I applied Acne.org Moisturizer mixed half & half with AHA+ and got my skin right back to normal and clear.
I'm giving CeraVe 2 stars only because it does not work well within The Regimen and from my experience is not good for acne-prone skin. As a general moisturizer for people who are not acne-prone, I think it's great.
Everyone is different, I didn't tolerate this well (more breakouts; more severe breakouts). I gave it two stars because it might be a good non-face moisturizer.
This moisturizer is the only moisturizer that has never caused me to break out. it hydrates my skin perfectly without making me oily.
CeraVe is a great moisturizing lotion. I had tried so many moisturizers before trying CeraVe but I'm so glad I tried it. It's a little pricy for a broke college student like myself but it's with it and lasts you a pretty good amount of time. It's very moisturizing, yet very light. I suffer from acne yet lately my skin would get really dry especially after using the regimes Bp. This really went well with the regime and it does not break me out. I would recommend this for people with sensitive skin who need some moister.
I have had clear skin my whole life and have only broken out once badly in high school and then again recently being 21. Apparently I break out pretty bad due to a dairy sensitivity combined with hormones( just quit birth control). Anyways, I was put on oral antibiotics and two creams and my skin was extremely dry and flaky. My face being flaky made my acne look worse. I also tried tea tree oil which burnt my skin and I needed to heal that as well. Needless to say I searched and tried numerous products before being recommended this moisturizer. Total Godsend for me! My flakes were gone and minor burns were repairing themselves within one day! Now a couple days later, my skin is a huge difference. I would definitely recommend!
I've recently begun on the Regimen and started before I had a quality moisturizer. My skin was getting REALLY dry and I wanted to get rid of the visual effects of the hardening of the BP. The moisturizer I was using just wasn't cutting it, so I went out and got this one. After about 3 days my skin is almost back to it's normal moisture levels. It's not greasy though may not be heavy duty enough for the depths of winter. It hasn't caused breakouts or clogged pores. The Glycerin does react slightly with the BP on my face creating some mild tingling or burning if my skin is in bad shape but it fades.

A little confused
Hi, I am new to this forum and a little embarassed to ask this so you will have to excuse me. I am from England and am not sure exactly what is meant by a 'cookie cutter nose' :confused:
Regards to all
It's a nose that looks a specific way and often unnatural. Sort of like if you were to draw out an image freehand, or if you use a stencil. Cookie cutter = stencil-esque...
I hope that makes sense. haha
I guess you mean the kind of nose that looks like it's been worked on.
It does not necessarily mean the nose looks done.
For example when referring to a "cookie-cutter" surgeon, it means the doc does one size fits all noses (the same nose/nose style) for all his patients. this approach does not work well. :(
If you look on a few surgeons' websites, and check out their before and after photos you will eventually notice this phenomenon.
The patients can be different ethnicities, various races, male or female, but the common thread is they all have the same nose!!!
Like I said in my earlier post in this thread, it just doesn't work.

This is the fix. IF YOU ARE NOT RUNNING AN en-US LOCALE YOU MUST STOP IMMEDIATELY AND CONSULT WITH ME!
^Sorry for the shouting! Not trying to be rude!
C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSUR\winsxs\Manifests is a drop box for the System Update Readiness Tool. If we put files in there, it will use it as a source for finding good copies, and hopefully fix your issue.
NOTE: This fix was created specifically for this user! If you are not this user, do not run this fix, but instead create a new topic and you will be helped!
Download the attached Packs.zip. Inside will be two files. Put both of these files into C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSUR\winsxs\Manifests Make sure that they are extracted from the zip file. Do not try to modify them in any way. If you don't have that folder, create it.
Once both files are in there, run the System Update Readiness Tool again. Wait for it to complete.
Retry your failed update. Hopefully it will be successful.
EITHER way, failed or succeeded, upload just this small log: C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log
Upload it to this forum (NOT RapidShare) or copy and paste it inline.
Good luck!

i'm reading the true20 rules at the moment and would like to clear a few thing up.
character have only one attack per combat round, is that right?
true20 does not use xp to work out if they gain a level. still trying to get my head round this idea. it's not that i don't like the idea but has anyone got a way to use xp in true20? i was thinking that every 20 xp the character gains a level. xp would only be handed out every so often, say a maximum of 5 per game and conviction pionts could also be spent to gain a level but you would have to spend two to gain a point of xp and your conviction point total would drop one point for every two points used in this way.
sorry if this makes no sence but it was late when i posted, i'll re-read later and see if i need to edit when i've had some sleep.

First, businesses discovered quality as a key competitive edge; next came science. Now, Donald A. Norman, former Director of the Institute for Cognitive Science at the University of California, reveals how smart design is the new frontier. The Design of Everyday Things is a powerful primer on how - and why - some products satisfy customers while others only frustrate them.
Download the accompanying reference guide.
©1988 Donald A. Norman (P)2011 Tantor
"Provocative." (Time)
"Badly needs updating"
The original title for this book was "The Psychology of Everyday Things" and it has not been updated since 1988. It contains mostly pop psychology insights from the '80s rather than design ideas, so if you are looking for information on the actual design process you will be disappointed.
Many of the psychological insights have been refined and unpdated in the two decades since publication and what must have been insightful and modern at the time now seems obvious or too simplistic.
The performance is terrible. The narrator has a Shatner-esque delivery where he randomly speeds up and slows down his reading and then dramatically drops his volume at the end of sentances. I honestly thought there was a problem with my stereo before I figured out he was doing it on purpose.
The author mentions in his new preface that the ideas in the book are timeless and therefore he didn't think it needed updating. However, a significant amount of speculation is done by the author about what computers in the future will be capable of--all of which has already come to pass. There is simply no need for an entire chapter fantasizing about a future where you can have an electronic appointment book.
Apparently, the book is considered a classic in the design and engineering world, but until it is updated it only has value as a historic document.
"Much Insight a Little Dated"
I have two rules; avoid abridgements and watch out for older texts on contemporary topics. The Design of Everyday Things was produced several years ago and it shows. While it is just filled with worthy insight, much of the material is dated.
"A bit dated."
Narration is good and keeps your interest. The idea that we should blame bad design and not ourselves for mistake is stated repeatedly throughout the book. To my disappointment I found the examples to be dated. He discusses VCRs as if they were more commonly used than DVDs. At one point he said he envisioned a portable computer that could be taken anywhere plugged into a phone within 5 years. How long has the iPhone been out? It would have been nice if the book updated before making into an audiobook. Turns out that this audiobook was recently released (making it seem like it was a new book) but had been written several years ago.
"Classic in the Design World"
Potentially. It would be a great reference book to remind myself of good design principles.
The history behind of the important design decisions that we use in our lives (e.g. keyboard), as well as the concepts that will continue to hold over time.
Solid, plain, clear.
Only relevant for certain people, but at the same time for those who understand these concepts already might not learn anything new.
Despite having a nominal publishing date of 2002, the examples in the book were never updated from the late 1980's. This makes the book incredibly old fashioned and quaint to listen to. Although the ideas contained are timeless, the examples (such as PBX phones and floppy disks) are so out of date they obscure the arguments of the book.
The examples. They are out of date and truly irrelevant in this age.
strident, monotonous, and nasal
I would update the examples to ones that are relevant today. There are adults out there now who have never seen the kind of phone systems he describes, the typewriters, or the floppy disk. Every single example from this book is from the late 1980's, and was not updated during the 2002 publication. MAJOR editing mistake.
"NOT a UX Primer"
Someone with more patience for whining / someone who hadn't been told it was a "UX Primer" and was thus completely disappointed.
Woody Allen
Huge let down.
"Good book, but the narrator's tone is pretentious"
I would probably read the book the second time around. This is the first time where the narrator's pretentious and condescending tone really pulled me out of the material.
The story is great and the writing is insightful.
The door story is good.
The design and simplicity of a car versus a radio.
My complaint is on the audio and narrator, not the book. I would probably read the book the second time around. This is the first time where the narrator's pretentious and condescending tone really pulled me out of the material.
"too boring to stick it out"
Prosaic, pedantic and judgmental with excessive uninteresting personal observations. maybe this is interesting to others, not me
bored me
disappointment and boredom
wasted my credit on this
"A solid engineering strategy"
I particularly like the approach the author has towards the design of systems, as something intended to be used by humans (v.s. perfect, precise manual-reading robots.) The use of examples is also extremely helpful.
Probably the explanations behind some of the near-disasters. The fact that poorly designed and somewhat misleading control panels in three mile island contributed to a near-meltdown is a great example of how good (or bad) design can make all the difference in the world.
Peter's voice is clear, with no major accent, and good tone variation.
No extreme reaction, but it was an interesting read.
Some of the topics in this book are covered in later books by different authors. So, in this sense, the book is a little redundant to some other popular books on the strengths and weaknesses of the human mind as a tool for reasoning and decision-making.
Also, towards the end of the book there is some discussion towards future improvements in design in everyday things. As this is an older book (late 80's) and some of those ideas have already made their way into mainstream products. The ideas seem a little silly/obvious 20+ years later, and I had to keep reminding myself of the age of this book when making my way through some of these "forward looking" topics.
"A necessary evil."
I have had this book on my short list of books to read for almost 10 years. I saw that audible had it and figured this would be the fastest way for me to finally consume this book - it kept getting bumped down on the list of my exciting fiction.
I work as a software engineer and it seems that every conference or class I have attended has recommended this book, and for good reason. Design as a whole is a very tough job. Non-designers are having to wear designer hats all the time and failing to understand what that means. This book sets out to explain why things go wrong and what sort of questions should be investigated. This book does that but with WAY to much background - it could (and should) have been written as a few page pamphlet and would probably have had wider acceptance and functions has a reference piece.
This book does not spend a lit of time describing the design of everyday things. There are few (when compared to how much material is in the book) actual case studies, or examples of good or bad design. I found the material very interesting but it failed to live up to what I wanted or needed - a guide to one of the most difficult task in any engineers job, interface design.
I found it really interesting how a book from 1988 is not horribly out of time. There are a few points where you can tell (like when discussing the modern type writer) but the logic and points of interest apply to today as much (if not more so) then they did in the 80s and 90s.

Over at Patheos, Tony Jones asked a really thought-provoking question:
I met someone recently who said she wept when Ratzinger was elected pope — wept tears of sorrow. She now hopes the next pope will be more progressive. And all I wanted to say was, "You know, you can switch denominations."
I get that there's more to being Catholic than the doctrine and the hierarchy — for a lot of people there's family and even ethnic ties involved. So I'm wondering if some of you readers can enlighten me: If you disagree with just about everything the Vatican does and says, why stay Catholic?
I've struggled with something similar as a religious person in the more generous sense, as a Christian. I mean, I've seen just how damaging religion can be better than a lot of people, but I still read my Bible. I still tithe. I probably talk in religious metaphor enough that it's offputting at times. It seems like a rational person would just give up the belief set at some point if it wasn't helping.
My answer to Tony, on behalf of my Catholic friends and relatives, applies at some level to my own Christian identity:
I consider myself a "Catholic-in-law." I'm a lifelong Methodist but my mum's extended family is Catholic and so I have some firsthand experience with the culture. And I think we Protestants tend to undervalue a key aspect of it: for a Catholic, the Church isn't just a creed you sign on to, or a set of activities that you do together, but rather it's a community in the truest sense of the world.
My cousin, who also was quite upset when Ratzinger became pope, explained it to me by analogizing with a dysfunctional, even abusive, family. If your father beats you or your sister emotionally blackmails you your whole life, at some point you have to change the way you relate to them to protect yourself. But no matter how badly it gets they are still your family and you have to struggle with that relationship – if you ask someone who's suffered familial abuse, you've probably heard that simply severing that relationship so it no longer affects you is the impossible dream. Now, my cousin wasn't saying the church was as harmful to her as an abusive parent is to a child. But for many Catholics it's part of who you are and must be dealt with rather than abandoned. That's been my experience of the RCC, in any event.
I'm curious what people make of this. If you've ever been in a situation like this, why did you stay in the group?
This whole topic reminds me of a song off Avenue Q (thanks to Aliana for introducing me to it – my life is definitely better for it). At some level it's all about bearing up under bad circumstances, though of course these situations aren't on the same level as the suffering the sex scandals and other such things have caused the faithful, to say nothing of the victims. Really, it's just good fun. (Do be warned, it has PG13ish language throughout.)

Palladino: Watertown's Hogan starts strong at Open
The Summer of Hogan rolls on. Just a few weeks after younger brother Jay made a run to the quarterfinals of the Connecticut Amateur, big brother Jeff is doing the same at the 79th Connecticut Open.
Jeff Hogan made six birdies and completed the first round of the Open at the Torrington Country Club Monday with a 4-under-par 68. That is one shot off the lead, which is shared by Cedar Knob pro, and 2007 Open champ, Jeff Curl, and a first timer at the Open, Eric Steger of TPC River Highlands.
For Hogan, who will be a junior at Fordham in the fall, there is no better way to make an Open debut. He failed to qualify in four previous tries. Now, on his first time in, he's on the leaderboard.
"I was 0-for-4," in qualifying, he said Monday. "Now I am 1-for- 5. I'll take it."
Hogan made six birdies, three on the front and three on the back, and kept his golf stress free.
"I kept (the ball) in front of me," he said, "and made stress-free pars, with two bogeys, and a couple of three putts." Hogan arrived at Torrington "with no expectations this week. I was just trying to make the cut."
Ah, but things change dramatically when you have your name on the board, with a red number next to it.
"Yes, things change a little bit now," said Hogan, "but I am looking forward to (today)."
Blake Morris of the Country Club of Waterbury, and Waterbury native John Bushka, the pro at Aspetuck Valley, are both at 2-under 70, three shots in back of Curl and Steger.
Bushka birdied two of his first three holes, made five birds on the day, with the only blemish a double bogey on 18. Morris was rolling the ball beautifully.
"I hit a lot of really good putts from 10 to 15 feet," Morris said, "that did everything but go in. That's why we play three rounds of golf. If I do the same thing (Tuesday), I guarantee you they will start to drop."
The putts will have to fall if anyone wants to chase down Curl, who has gone low in this event before.
"I played solid all day, tee to green," said Curl, who is not playing this season on the Web.com development tour. "On the first six or seven holes, I hit six or seven lips. I had reasonable chances but couldn't get anything to go in. But then I made a birdie on nine (No. 16), and that got me going."
Curl made five birdies in the last 10 holes, and did not make a bogey.
Steger is an Indiana native who followed his wife here when she took a job at ESPN. He got into the Open at via a playoff at Lake of Isles, and now he shares the top spot.
"I had an eagle on No. 12," Steger said. "I hit an three wood and a three iron (from 220 yards) to two feet. It jump-started my round. Then I birdied 17, 1, 2, 4 and 5. The eagle helped and I made a lot of good pars."
In a crowd at 4-under with Hogan are Daniel Balin of Burning Tree, Tommy McDonagh of Shorehaven, and at 3-under are former Amateur champ Matt Smith, and C.J. Swift of Great River.
The cut comes after today's second round. The CSGA takes the low 40, plus ties, and right now that number may be 1-over 73.
Setting up well for round two today is two-time champ Ken Green, who is at 1-under 71, along with Paul Stancs of Fairview Farm, and the 2003 Open champ, Steve Sokol.
"I made six birdies, but there were a lot of careless mistakes," said Sokol, a pro at Orange Hills, "which comes from not playing much. My last competitive round was the Travelers qualifying, and before that, U.S. Open qualifying.
"My brother (Adam) reminded me, gently, this morning that I always start off not so hot, and I have to charge my way back."
At even par 72 are Addison Owens of the Washington Club, Brian Quilter of Farmingbury Hills, four-time champ Kyle Gallo, and Tom Gleeton of the Country Club of Waterbury.

Well, I asked for it and now I have my answer.
Maybe this explains all the lumps on my head ……….

@Frank – yeah, be careful what you wish for!
Dilbert has been a staple in my life ever since I worked as a lead sysadmin at AT&T. I love The Dilbert Principle – I saw it just about every day manifest itself in real life.
.-= Barbara Ling, Virtual Coach´s last blog ..6 Brilliant Squeeze Page Resources You'll Want To Explore Part 1 =-.
Dilbert's the bomb! And yes I do recommend Scott Adams's books also, I own them. Knock yourself out!
Again, thanks for the much needed chuckles, who doesn't need it!
.-= Nadira Haniff´s last blog ..DO YOU KNOW THE "Law Of Countability"? =-.
It would have been nice if you would have linked to the original comic strip. I probably have enough Dilbert merchandise and Adams' books around my office to pay for a few strips, but still, next time, try to send visitors to his site as well, and not just the Amazon.com book section.
.-= Karl Heinz Kremer´s last blog ..Abstraction =-.
@Karl – the strip is a scan. Also, I did link to the Dilbert site in the previous strip, so mixing it up this time.
I was bathing my critical patient in ICU, and noted the distinctive hairstyle. I just could not remember where I saw it. Now I know….it is Dilbert's hairstyle. (-:
Agreeing with Karl, here is the link to the "Most Popular" Section. Checking it out is my daily routine: I wait for an annoying moment during work and then I click on this link. Most times it makes me laugh.
i just look for marketing tips in cartoon and i found this site, and i think i have found this book. thank's andy
Hi Andy,
Thanks for sharing the strip – I love Dilbert! It's spot on every time!

Big. Blue. Nice! There is no better feeling than to be surrounded by people who care deeply about you.
Andover is a rather large community, but a very strong one. The welcoming atmosphere and genuinely kind people are what helped me to call PA 'home'.
Talented peers, championship athletics, and the boys. Who needs red, anyways?
I was dazzled on revisit day. Everyone here really cares about you! #NonSibi
I came to Andover seeking a challenge and way to improve my hard work and skill sets. What amazes me is how much I've grown while doing so. #Support #ItsLitt
It's an exciting, global community and has challenged me in ways I never imagined a school could… not to mention I've made amazing friends and have super fun weekends! #workhardplayhard
On my revisit day, I remember seeing students walking to class happy and enjoying themselves. The teachers didn't talk at you, they talked with you. The students and teachers shared a strong bond that went far beyond basic instruction.
The student body is so talented, smart, welcoming, driven, and bursting with PA pride. I know that the friendships I have formed here will last very far into the future. #community
I came to Andover because it's a place where I can express my creativity—a place where I can truly be myself. #EndlessOpportunities
When I visited Andover, all of the kids were friendly and charismatic. I wanted to be a part of that community #big #blue #nice
On my revisit day, not only the students but also the teachers seemed to really enjoy being at PA and genuinely wanted me to go #BigBlueNice
Even though Andover is thousands of miles from home, it felt like home to me. Everyone was so welcoming.
I thought Andover would challenge and help me to reach my full potential. It has a rigorous curriculum that balanced academics, arts, and athletics.
I wanted the challenge of discovering myself and learning to live on my own. #independence
As soon as I heard about Andover-Exeter Weekend, I knew.
Andover had been my dream school ever since I was little. Living as a day student has been the best of both worlds #DreamsComeTrue
The perfect combination of academics, sports, extra-curriculars, and school spirit.
Best part of being a junior is definitely meeting new people and trying new things! #juniorequalsfreshmanatPA

Sheriff O'Flynn wants hefty pay raise
Rochester, N.Y. -- Monroe County Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn wants a hefty pay raise.
He is asking county legislators to bump up his salary to $174,000 a year.
That's $37,000 more than he is making now and $50,000 more than he was making two years ago.
The request is part of his proposed $138 million-dollar budget.
Specifically, he is asking that his salary be tied to the district attorney's salary.
Heres where it gets a little tricky.
The DAs salary is tied to the salary of Supreme Court judges.
Whatever the judges make, the district attorney makes.
Two years ago, the state gave the judges a raise that will reach $174,000 this coming spring.
Should OFlynn get his way, his salary would hit that mark at the same time.
OFlynn wrote in the same change in 2011, but legislators, including the top Republican, balked at the bump.
Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks' spokesperson said then the hike was not the legislative intent of the law, adding OFlynn was comfortable with his current salary.
His current request is part of Brooks proposed budget for 2014, which means it can be amended by the county legislature.
In this same budget, Brooks is cutting 60 county positions and laying off 15 employee.
OFlynns spokesperson said the sheriff will address questions regarding his pay hike on Tuesday.
OFlynn won another term as sheriff earlier this month.

Emerson sells over one million Fisher digital valve controllers
Danny Nelson, vice president of instruments for the Fisher division, was a mechanical test engineer in the mid-1990s, supporting the new FieldVue instrument design. "From the early inception of the product, we focused on Fisher core product values—reliability and performance," he said. "Because the FieldVue instrument was the first communicating, loop-powered digital positioner, several new tests were developed to verify technologies deployed in the product. These were never done before in prior valve mounted instrument products."
With its introduction, the FieldVue instrument platform not only received several industry awards, but also resulted in more than 50 patents for its innovation and reliability. By 1999, the installed base of 100,000 FieldVue DVC5000 instruments had delivered one billion hours of run-time in process plant environments.
Over the past decade, the global development team has added numerous enhancements and application options for FieldVue instruments, from online diagnostics to remote mounting. Emerson personnel developed a stainless steel version for use in harsh, off-shore environments as well as a remote mount option that can withstand temperatures up to 120 °C (250 °F).

Okay so there are some books you AVOID reading with all you might BECAUSE you know you are going to love them and not be able to put them down and not being able to do anything until you've read every single offering the author has ever written. Right? Right, you know what I mean. Harry Potter is like that for me. YES! I confess I know it's sacrilege but I have never actually read Harry Potter precisely BECAUSE I know I would love it and have to read it along with all of Rowling's books and that would be like, 2 months of my life gone, POOF! just like that! I'm not saying that I wouldn't enjoy it... I just happen to have responsibilities, you know, a life, a cat, a job...
So Alex suggested and was surprised that I had never read a Tamora Pierce book.... and thought I would love them. I had the sneaking suspicion she was right. BUT, precisely because of that I've been avoiding them. She has like, what... 30 or MORE books out, right? Can you even do the math on the reading of that (in months)!!!
However, last week I happened upon a collection of SHORT stories by Tamora Pierce "Tortall and other lands: a collection of tales". I thought, "it's SHORT what can it hurt - I can just read one... maybe I'll like it, maybe I won't." Last night before going to sleep I started a paragraph of Student of Ostriches the first short story in the collection just to check it out and... I couldn't put it down! What an exciting, engrossing read! So... uh, I guess I'm in trouble now...
And then this morning* I came to the Library and, low and behold Alex had written a blog about Tamora Pierce! How weird (synchronistic) is that! See Alex's blog here. And check out what Tamora Pierce has in the works for us here. All the way to 2015!
*this blog was originally written on November 15th 2011.
So my New Year's resolution? To read at least one book I've been avoiding reading for a long time :0) - the rest of Tortall was just as good ;0)P
Everyone has a list of Christmas Classics that they work their way through every year. I only have three that I haven't yet watched in 2011 (both "Grinches" and "Home Alone")... but it's only Christmas Eve! I like to keep the magic going and watch a bunch of movies well into Boxing Day as well. "Love, Actually" and "The Holiday" are two that I've already seen six times this year, but that's 'cause they're good year-round, and I'm a perennial Christmas-in-July-er.
But when I was looking at my list, I realized that there's a pretty huge gap in the genre, and that movies geared towards teens just aren't factoring into the Hollywood Christmas equation. I find this strange, since Teen Choice is pretty much ruling the scene in every other facet of entertainment. At any rate, it seems like flicks go straight from sickly sweet Kid's movies to R-rated College movies, and there's no mid-range for Jr. High or High School. Maybe I'm wrong though. Maybe you can help me compile a list of the best of the best for Teen Christmas. It's going to be piecemeal, we're going to have to stitch it together bit by bit, but maybe that's what Teen Christmas is all about... holding on to what remains of your childhood, grasping on to what you want out of your future... and add a healthy dose of sarcasm and humour. Merry Christmas... and pardon my gifs.
There is one GLARING exception to that statement, which is, of course, the glaring exception to MOST things. It's Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Part Christmas, part Halloween, part creepy, part adorable, mix some morbid, macabre, grossie bits with equal parts lovely, romantic, heartfelt bits, and you've got yourself an instant teen classic. It's not for kids (I wasn't allowed to watch it 'cause my mom new I'd get... nightmares...) and not for adults, unless they grew up with it (Movie Maniac Moe can't watch ANY Tim Burton movies because the animations freak her out). But teens hold up Jack Skellington as a paradigm of awesome; you can see his face plastered on everything from hoodies to watches... and poor Sally fits into our metaphor of a patched-together Christmas perfectly.
Mean Girls is NOT a Christmas movie, but it does have two of the greatest snapshots of School Christmas ever to be caught on film: 1) Candy Grams, the best-tasting, most bittersweet test of popularity to ever exist, and
2) The annual Talent Show/Christmas Pagaent/Winter Musical showcase of mediocre "dance skillz" by resident school hotties.
This is pretty much exactly what Jr. High was like for me, and if you haven't seen it yet, watch it, and tell me if it holds up to your school experience. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
Ummmmmmmm Charlie is a kid in the first Santa Clause, and a graffiti-ing teen in the second... that counts, right? Teens love spraypaint, right?
There's a pretty excellent scene in the full-length Grinch where our green buddy tries shaving for the first time. That's a standard teen trope if ever I saw one!
Buddy the Elf's parents were High School sweethearts. And now I know I'm stretching this way too far. Also thanks to hawkeyefan31 for this gif. If you can't tell, I'm just learning how to make them, and they're pretty sad.
And of course, Christmas Classics aren't limited to movies. After all, what is Christmas without music. Here are some of my favourite Christmas tunes... I'm sure I'm missing plenty, so please send along your favourite playlist so I can add it to mine.
Top of the list is Sufujan Stevens Songs for Christmas. If you haven't already heard it, I'm really sorry Christmas is over and you'll have to wait until next year (because we all know Christmas music after the 26th is a taboo - right?). Songs for Christmas is a brilliant album where Stevens remixes a ton of Christmas classics, mostly religious, in his folksy, quirky way. He also throws in some great original compositions.
Next on my list is Hawksley Workman's First Snow of the Year which captures the joy you feel as a kid when you look out the window and shout 'It's snowing!!' and also, his great tune Merry Christmas (I Love You)
I just recently discovered The Bones of Winter by Said The Whale. This is a darker, more sombre tune that captures the desperate feeling we sometimes have around winter solstice when we know there are 3 more months without sun... it is a lovely song.
Similarly, Joni Mitchell's River is sad song capturing the desparation of loneliness... absolutely beautiful.
I love Fall Out Boy's cover of What's This? It's lots of fun.
And what is Christmas without Vince Guaraldi Trio's Christmas Time is Here ! I'm sure I don't need to tell you that this masterpiece is a Christmas staple and among the most popular Christmas tunes.
So there you have it. The best of the best we could come with with for Christmas and Teens. If you know of a teen movie or song that I'm missing out on, weigh in on the comments board. I hope you all have a very merry Christmas, and we'll see you on the other side.
With holiday magic in the air, I thought I might get away with writing about some great fantastic (and magical books) without having a bunch of people vomit all over me... However, I also happen to know that a lot of you secretly and not-so-secretly love fantasy. And these are books with a twist.
As a teen, a friend introduced me to The Sandman by Neil Gaiman and although I had always shunned comic books, an instant romance was born. Gaiman is a mysterious magician weaving stories that are bizarre and strange, that usually leave you with more questions than answers. He also picks stunning illustrators to work alongside him. One of my favourites is Charles Vess. Vess' style could be best described as Art Nouveau meets 1930's comic book. Instructions, also by Gaiman, is a fairytale poem that might leave you rather quizzical and Stardust: Being a Romance in the Realm of Faerie, is pure indulgence! Go on fairy lovers, love it up! Of course you can always count on Gaiman to never follow the staight and narrow... There's DVD and Blu-Ray versions too. MirrorMask is a lovely, bizarre story that I reviewed earlier as an audiobook. It explores the intricacies and complications of mother/daughter relationships and I had the priviledged coincidence of listening to this in the car this summer while travelling back from Drumheller with my mother. Here's to unplanned synchronicity! MirrorMask is also a beautiful graphic novel illustrated by Dave McKean and a great video.
I discovered that Charles Vess has also illustrated some YA novels by one of my favourite Canadians (Saskachewanite to be precise), Charles DeLint! They're great! And short. In Seven Wild Sisters ginseng, bees and faeries mix! Featuring an Apple Man, an Old Aunt and Wild Hills, here's a short excerpt: "Most of her time was taken up with the basic tasks of eking out a living from her land and the forest... But you could buy your food instead of having to work so hard growing it.' 'Sure I could. But I've had to have me money to do that and to get the money, well, I'd have to work just as hard at something else, except it wouldn't necessarily be as pleasing to my soul.'... 'You find weeding a garden pleasing?', 'You should try it girl. You might be surprised.' " Medicine Road stars the Dillard twins Laurel and Bess (from Seven Wild Sisters) in a wild adventure in the Native Southwest. Check 'em out! Charles DeLint is also an artist, poet, folklorist & critic as well as playing in various bands -- he has just released a CD The Loon's Lament with his wife MaryAnn Harris and John Wood. It features cover art by Calgary's own Lisa Brawn!
The latest superstar to hit the scene earned his stripes working on animation for Toy Story! William Joyce has come up with the brilliant idea of re-working the characters of St. Nicholas, The Man in the Moon the E. Aster Bunnymund and others into "The Guardians of Childhood"; modern day super heroes inhabiting familiar, yet not-so-familiar folktales. These display some stunning SteamPunk style illustrations with a ton of adventure to boot. Maurice Sendak has said that The Man in the Moon is "a fabulous recapturing of an old, real fairy-tale world. Dark Mysterious. Stunning!" and Joyce's latest release Nicholas St. North and the battle of the Nightmare King has hit the shelves... just in time for the holidays.
And what fantasy suite is complete without a title such as The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle? "We are not always what we seem, and hardly ever what we dream." The graphic novel adaped from Beagle's 1968 classic is lushly illustrated by Renea DeLiz and coloured by Ray Dillon. The library has just ordered Beagle's new book First Last Unicorn and other Beginnings. This includes letters, an unpublished novella about The Last Unicorn, interviews, correspondence and other snippets giving delightful insight into the creative process of this beloved master of fantasy. Over the holidays watch the DVD and Blu-Ray versions and then check our stacks in the New Year for the new book. Start the year off right!
Tolkien and Robin Hood Fans will appreciate Mouse Guard by David Petersen. Mouse life is treacherous and towns must be gaurded. Hence the formation of.. "The Mouse Guard"! Immerse yourself in a leaf-ridden, Ork-like medieval mouse's reverie (nightmare or dream?)! Mouse Guard vol. 01 Fall 1152 was critically acclaimed as best Indy Adventure Book of 2006 by Wizard Magazine and I can see why.
Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard vol. 01 also created by David Petersen. This album brings together 17 different comic artists - aka "mice", as they gather together at June Alley Inn to compete to clear their pub tabs by telling the most creative and fantastic stories (a fun nod to the classic "Canterbury Tales" by Chaucer!)
AND... I'm so excited I can barely contain it!!! Alex may geek out about being a Potter fan but I'm a total Lord of the Rings girl and.. Yes! they released an unexpected trailer for Peter Jackson's upcoming The Hobbit! .... Why can't it be next year already?!?!?!?
Everything You Need To Survive the Apocalypse is the first novel written by Lucas Klauss. The story is very extreme and out of this world, but I found myself relating to it. It's a book about the everyday life, issues, and conflicts of a teenage boy--with a unique twist.
It starts off with the protagonist, Phillip, falling in love with a girl at first sight. He gets invited to go to church by this girl, Rebekah. He realizes that Rebekah is a very strong Christian believer and the only way to spend time with her is to go to church. To achieve this, Phillip has to go behind his father's back who happens to be a strong atheist. Later he begins to question his reasons for getting involved in church.
I recommend this book for anyone who likes to reflect because it makes the readers question what is right and wrong. The novel has a lot of information, rules, and opinions about Christianity, so be sure you're okay with that. Although there are many parts on Christianity in the book, there is also a relationship conflict with family and friends and the book can relate to many different readers. The protagonist understands that friendships can be broken just as fast as they are made, and that love is complicated and the best anyone can do is try. All in all, the book is great for pleasure reading and for critical thinking.

As many of you already know, 2012 is going to be a very special year for the Calgary Public Library in more ways than one. First of all it's our centennial, yes it's true we've been serving Calgarians for 100 years and in order to honor this milestone we're throwing all of a Calgary a party. Not only are we opening up a brand new branch in the Northeast (Saddletowne) on January 14th, 2012 but at the grand opening we'll be introducing our brand new mascot!

That's right Calgary, we're giving you the chance to name our mascot. We have chosen a chameleon to represent us, but we're leaving the name up to you! Need inspiration for your entry? Be sure to visit your nearest library branch and check out some of the great resources we have on chameleons.

This will not be a random draw. Entries will be carefully judged one by one and the winning entry will ideally be an original and suitable name for a Calgary Public Library mascot. So go ahead and think outside the box on this one. It might be helpful to ask yourselves, what does the library mean to me? We already have lots of great entries so be sure to enter soon.

Oh and did I mention in addition to choosing the winning name, you'll also win a bag of Calgary Public Library swag. For full contest details please click here. May the best name win!
One of the reasons I love yalit is the coming of age theme that runs throughout it. Coming of age stories come in all shapes and sizes--naturally, because our lives have many different problems and concerns. At the core, coming of age stories are looking at identity and transitions. Transitions from childhood to adolescence to adulthood...and, well, I believe we are all transitioning all the time so coming of ages stories are relevant to all of us.
Although these stories can come across as melodramatic or angst-y at times, I think they are pretty awesome. Coming of age stories allow us to learn something about the human experience. They give readers the ability to play out different scenarios in their mind, to explore new ideas and to see how other people experience the world--and they are often very beautiful.
One of my favourite coming of age stories is Converting Kate. What I love about this book is the theme of religion--a rarely tackled topic in the coming of age genre. Transitioning to adulthood is a time of exploration when trying out new ideas and ideologies is like exercise for the mind--totally essential for your health. This book beautifuly illustrates this experience.
Converting Kate explores the effects of being raised in a strong religious tradition. 16-year-old Kate's world is rocked when her father passes away and she is torn from her home in Arizona. She and her fundamentalist mother move to Maine to help her Aunt run a bed and breakfast. Thrust into a new community and grieving her father, Kate, who has long been questioning her faith, begins to reveal her true feelings to her mother. Having been raised in the fictitious Church of the Holy Divine, Kate has followed a long list of commandments unwaveringly--only reading church-approved materials, always wearing a skirt, never going to the mall, fasting every Sunday and the list goes on and on and on. For the first time Kate refuses to go to church, igniting a lasting debate with her mother. Kate's inner conflict is illustrated through her narrative of sorting through her thoughts and feelings and pulling her own ideas away from the inner dialogue of her church. Kate emerges as a strong-willed, independent thinker and realizes that there is more to the world than her very censored, sheltered upbrining allowed her to explore.
It's a lovely depiction of the difficult and common experience of the faith crisis by debut author, Becky Weinheimer.
As I said, religion is a rarely tackled topic in the coming of age genre--have any good reads to suggest?

Welcome to the Shreveport Bar Association Website.
How can we help you?
The Shreveport Bar Association is a voluntary community-oriented Bar Association with over 600 members. It was formed in the early 1950s to promote interests in the legal field, dignity and character of the Bar of the City of Shreveport and Bossier.
Our purpose hasn't changed in the past 60+ years. We are committed to providing an organization where members of our legal community can serve the public under the highest ethical and professional expectations. In addition, our goal is to provide a variety of activities so each member has an opportunity to become involved civically, socially and through ongoing education.
The SBA is not a state agency. The organization's activities are funded through membership dues and other self generated revenue.
The affairs of the association are managed by the Executive Council who are elected by the membership. The Executive Council is made up of the President, the President-elect, the Vice President, Secretary-Treasurer, the immediate Past-President, the Chairman of the Judicial Liaison Committee, the President of the Young Lawyer's Section, the President of the Women's Section, the Captain of the Krewe of Justinian, and four Members At-Large.

Fabric Felt [FLAT] RugsPrice: $2,800.00
Eva Langhans design.
By kymo.
Danish textile manufacturer Kvadrat teamed with kymo creative director Eva Langhans to turn one of its quality wool textiles into supreme floorwear. Add a subtle, yet robust felt to a heavy-duty, high-tech, combined felt and knobbed surface; refine the whole thing with a subtle seam; and what do you get? A completely new carpet - FABRIC [FLAT]. The kymo label in the bottom corner says it all: innovation and a penchant for contemporary design combined with quality and subtle elegance.
Felt [FLAT] rugs are durable and can withstand daily foot traffic. The resilient surface has the capability to restore to its original shape with normal use. Made of anti-pilling, anti-static materials and suitable for floors with ambient floor heating. Select from five colors in 100% new wool.
Custom sizes and colors are available upon request. Please contact our Sales Department for pricing.
