Opening Up Or Closing Down
Splash pads are not really new. My first encounter with one was in 1989 with an early "in-house custom" model that had been installed at a park in the 1970s.
It was essentially a set of holes in a galvanized potable-water supply pipe that was erected 9 feet over a concrete pad; the pad was piped to drain into a creek at the back of the property.
It worked, but it lacked novelty; the concrete slab sustained algae and moss, and every year, a section of pipe or the gate-valve needed replacing. It was eventually removed since it no longer met the wastewater-management code.
Modern splash pads and spray grounds have come a long way. Besides interactive designs and individualized layouts that create unique travel circuits, many are installed with a recirculation system that filters the water and provides a sanitizer, and in many cases, a UV-treatment phase.
Although the modern system is considered better in most instances, it also requires a higher level of technical ability to troubleshoot and maintain to meet the health codes that apply to these features.
The town of Trophy Club's parks and recreation department in Texas installed a new splash pool in 2010. While a spray ground, splash pad, and splash pool all use the same elements to eject or spray water, a splash pool exists where there is any depth of standing water.
This also creates the need for lifeguards and a few other mandates that come with operating a pool. On the flip side, however, splash pools create opportunities for slides into low water, which are not typically possible with spray grounds and splash pads.
"In all, I have been … satisfied with our spray pool," says Jacob Lohse, the town's aquatic coordinator. "It brought in double the amount of people from the year before, and I believe this year will be even better."
Lohse was very involved with the vendors before the facility was built to ensure he knew as much as possible about the procedures and potential feature problems he might encounter. Despite the upfront knowledge, Lohse said he and his crew are still learning how to manage the unique features.
Develop A Maintenance Plan
The best strategy to protect the value of these investments is to have a customized, comprehensive maintenance program. According to Hillary Boen at Lewisville Parks and Leisure Services in Texas, this starts with conducting a thorough end-of-season inspection and wear-and-repair checklist for features. This past winter, Boen explains, the agency decided to keep water in the "pools."
"In respect to the splash pads, that means we are keeping water in the surge tank. The feature pumps are closed off and drained to prevent any winter damage. The UV systems are turned off to preserve the light-bulb life. One bulb can get us through about three seasons or one full year. These run about $1,500 each. The pump motors and impellers are inspected during this time," she says.
"We also order any parts that may need replaced or repaired. We do not typically replace the broken/missing parts until right before the summer starts. The weather is very hard on our splash pads."
The managers at Lewisville realize they will replace the poured-in-place decking every 5 to 6 years, which allows them to budget for this expense.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- With anti-hydrofracking advocates listening to his every word, Health Commissioner Nirav Shah was grilled by state lawmakers for more than three hours on Monday.
While money for permitting and regulating the controversial natural gas drilling process isn't in the budget, Senate and Assembly lawmakers pushed Shah to give them an answer on when his health review would be completed.
Shah began a review of the health impacts of hydrofracking in November 2012. Since then, little information has been released on what studies Shah is consulting or who is advising his department on the fracking issue.
"Right now it's very emotional and we're staying away from the emotions. We're sticking to the science as much as possible. I don't have a date because I don't know if the one definitive study on health is going to come out or if it will ever come out," Shah said.
The lack of transparency has frustrated advocates on both sides of the hydrofracking issue, who are demanding more information from Shah's office. On Monday, Shah told lawmakers their questions will be answered once he deliver his report to Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens. Indeed, Shah has plenty of outside advice along the way, including lawmakers themselves submitting fracking studies for his office to review. "I have a packet here of 150 peer-reviewed studies that just came out in 2013 compiled by physicians, engineers and scientists for healthy energies. I'd like to submit them on the record," said Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal, D-Manhattan.
The review began after state officials missed multiple deadlines to develop an environmental impact study and permitting process for high-volume hydrofracking. It is a politically fraught issue that pits groups that want to see more jobs in the Southern Tier against environmentalists.
"He's said let the science lead the way. It has not in any way impacted me. And when I asked for more time he said, OK, you can have more time," Shah said.

Miele announces its first refrigerator line for the North American market. The Miele Mastercool refrigerator will officially launch April 2008 with a sneak preview at the International Builders' Show in Orlando, FL, in February and the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Chicago, in April.
The MasterCool line, which will also include freezers and wine coolers, are based on a modular design concept allowing for limitless combinations and location flexibility when designing a kitchen environment. Three types of installation are available: Framed Stainless – a standard stainless design that remains a popular, classic look right out of the box; 2) Framed – allows models to be installed proud flush of the surrounding cabinetry and provides a frame for custom cabinet panels; and 3) Fully Integrated – frameless, solution where the refrigerator disappears into the cabinetry surrounding it. A bottom mounted ventilation system integrates/disappears fully as well.
In the introductory phase, the modular components for the refrigerator and freezer will come in classic 18, 30, and 36-in width dimensions and the wine cooler in a 24-in width. By combining refrigerator/freezer components, MasterCool appliances will easily nest inside the typical niches of 48, 54, 60, 66, and 72-in wide, depending on the products selected. An in-door water/ice dispenser is available on the 18-in freezer tower while ice makers are standard in all other freezer compartments (including freezer columns and bottom mount freezer.)

Current state of appraisal industry/profession
Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum. I am a professional woman who has worked in another field for more than 25 years and am exploring other options these days - primarily, a profession that I can continue doing should I move to a more rural/smaller city and do part time eventually when I am older. I have been reading a lot of threads here stating that the appraisal profession is oversaturated and underappreciated. I hold a Masters degree in another field and have spoken to an appraiser who teaches the various courses here in Chicago and he believes I would have no problem becoming an appraiser and could make a good living. He also told me that it's a low stress job.
But, I have some concerns. First, I know that the trainee program is tough. I am not worried about working a 50 hour week, but I do have bills to pay and would like to know what the average salary would be for a trainee (understanding that it's reduced while I learn and pay my dues) and if it's possible to do this work part time so I have time to supplement my income with my current consulting. Also, I have read that appraisers don't like hiring trainees. I have seen a few job postings, but would like your opinion. Frankly, I have bills to pay and am my own breadwinner. I wouldn't mind supplementing the two years required to apprentice if I thought I could make enough to put it back in a reasonable amount of time. Is it possible to make $100,000 or thereabouts once I am certified and how many years would it take to reach that level? I should also say that I have worked anywhere from 50 to 70 hours a week for my entire professional life, but I am hoping to stay more around the 50 hours a week now and would like to run my own shop as soon as I could. I think I would enjoy this work and that it could transition well once I moved, but I need to eat too so I want to be realistic. Any advice you pros have will be appreciated.
BTW, I have also been reading blogs and articles saying that work is picking up and that there is a shortage of new recruits in the business (and I realize that this is for a variety of reasons). However, that information doesn't seem to jive with what I have read in the threads here, and that is why I am posting. From what I have read here, there are more appraisers with too little work. I am in marketing and business development and I have learned that you go to the pros in the field for the most reliable information.
Thanks in advance. Cheers!

A trainee probably makes 300 bucks a week, if they make any money. On my 10th year of appraising I wouldn't pay anyone to teach them how to appraise. They get to learn, I get to take advantage of their limited ability to provide labor. Not to mention it would be tough to get any of my clients to accept a trainee as it is for most appraisers. I wouldn't hire a part time trainee, I would at least want them to play secretary if there isn't any active work for them to partake in. To make $100,000 I would have to work around 50 hour weeks to make that money I think. That's a crappy per hour $ amount actually, maybe I'm wrong on that. The work is so varied that $400 can take 4 hours on one job and 8 hours on the next one. Of course that's before taxes which is where my per hour $ amount looks bad.
In the next few years i foresee an appraiser shortage that will end once they kill the profession within 10+- years. So, take that as you will.
Anonymous Appraiser
Certified Residential
FHA Approved
Yes you can MAKE $100,000 a year, but the banks, AMC's and middle men will steal $20,000 to $40,000 of it from you.
This is a courtesy call. Your next installment of processed data is due for upload in one hour.
My Opinion Only
After becoming an appraiser in 1998 and then becoming state certified this is year I am not going to renew my license.
The lenders have figured out a legal way to steal part of the money we used to make by using appraisal management companies and for me that has made staying in this business no longer an option.
Unless you are willing to play their games and take the money they are offering it no longer makes any sense when you figure out the amount of hours you work and devote to doing appraisals the rewards for me just are no longer there.
I would not recommend this profession to anyone at this time for the reasons stated above.
Again this in only my opinion and I am sure others will have their own opinion on the state the appraisal business is in at this point in time.
We used to be considered professionals and I never entered this business years ago to have someone else run my business for me and yet that is just what going on today.
If anyone disagrees with me just try standing up to your clients and not let them push you around and see what happens next to your business.
The endless stupid phone calls and requests for things not to mention the problems with liability and law suits.
Jim Hill
You will spend 2 years making $20k a year in a dying profession. Statistical analyses, stated values, AVMs all will replace 80% of appraisals within 10 years as the lending industry consolidates. Go into real estate sales combined with mortgage brokerage if you want to use your background. The real estate market is recovering in most areas and someone that is willing to be outgoing, professional, and work hard can make a good living. The $100k is a long-term goal, but I would not consider that in appraising any more. And I've been in the business since 1970.
If I were to recommend appraising as a "new" profession right now, I would suggest that a person first get a sales license, and go work with a commercial orientated sales company. Take their classes, learn their lingo, deal with buyers and sellers and get a good understanding of the commercial aspect of real estate from that end. Plus commissions are far more than appraisers make, but Salespeople too are finding their commissions being cut by the lenders, who in residential, hold most of the inventory. Commissions that were 6% for homes a couple of years ago are now 2.5% from the GSEs and lenders for REOs, couple that with low selling prices and there is no wonder NAR is trying to push it's way back into the appraisal industry to capture more work for their sales people.
Anyway, once you can establish yourself in sales you should be able to generate an income flow to survive appraisal training. Find a good all around appraiser doing both commercial and residential until you find what you like best. Take the best classes you can afford, and ask lots of questions. The best mentor can make all the difference but you are as responsible to learn the trade as the mentor is in teaching you, so never be afraid to ask questions and seek a greater understanding. Bad mentors are just that, trainees bear the responsibility to learn, and be good appraisers on their own.
Hopefully you can fill in between jobs with some sales and classes to make the whole thing survivable. I did it as a single parent, without assistance, would never do it again, or recommend it, but the best advice I can give you is too not look for monetary rewards for years, it is a struggle, and don't expect a rabbit race to the finish.
A "low stress job"? Yikes!!
I've been doing this for about 20 years and the stress level can be very high. Income goes up and down. Can you make 100k? a year, maybe, after 10+ years of good experience and being certified. More likely if you can get your CG and work for a commercial office. While training, if you can find a mentor, you will make very very little if anything at all.
A generation ago I would recommend this job to my kids. My dad was an appraiser, so I followed suit. I would not recommend this job to my kids now.
As usual, Marion offers very good advice.
Always remember, everything is temporary. The bad, and the good.

At the end of 2008 the ASC listed 121,322 total appraisers. Today only 103,152 are listed. During that period of time 18,170 have dropped their license/certification. It does not take an advanced degree to figure out that for many this is no longer a good career. Welcome to the forum!
Good information is provided by the experienced appraisers in the above posts. Perhaps my perspective as an "Appraiser Trainee" currently going through this process might also be insightful as you and I have similar backgrounds.
I too am coming into this industry from other professional fields and have business degrees -- Bachelors and Masters. My background is in Organizational Change (business process improvement, HR, training and development, etc.).
I've been around the appraisal industry for over a decade -- I have family and friends that have been in residential appraising for many, many years -- and I've seen how this has all changed from the mid-90s through today.
OK, enought set-up -- now to the current situations as I see them. (Note: requirements vary from state to state so bounce what I say below off of your own state's requirements. I'm licensing through Texas.)
1. The required education is adequate. There are multiple sources of education and the course work can be obtained both through classroom and online sources. Most folks like the Appraisal Institute (AI) or McKissock but there are others. Pick the sources that matches best to your learning style, budget, and time availability.
2. Find one or more GOOD mentors/sponsors. This will be the person who you'll be working with for the next couple of years. This is an apprenticeship program. Whomever your mentor is will shape the appaiser you hope to become. Choose a good professional!
a. Finding a mentor may be the most difficult part of becoming an appraiser. In today's appraiser world, a trainee is not a benefit to the mentor; they are a costly impediment. In most states, you, as a trainee, can do almost no work without the mentor being with you 100 percent of the time and directly supervising every part of the appraisal process. This reduces the efficiency of your mentor, hence the drain on his/her time and money.
b. Find more than one mentor if possible. Again, as this is an apprenticeship program, having only one mentor provides only a single perspective of this multi-faceted business. You'll learn "their" way which isn't necessarily the ONLY way nor may it be the BEST way to appraise. More insight to alternative methods may provide more long-term benefits to your appraiser training.
3. The appraising environment is tumultuous at best and venomous at worst.
a. Large numbers of appraisers are forecasted to leave the industry in the next few years, either through retirement or just to change professions. The number of appraiser trainees expected to enter the industry is expected to decrease sharply as the entry requirements become more demanding/restrictive in both January 2013 and January 2015.
b. Major industry changes are in the works. For example, alternative valuation processes, many of them automated, are being introduced which, as their reliability grows, may have a direct impact on fee appraising in the very near future. This information is drawn from a variety of sources which are available for your review from AI, several leading real estate sources, Working RE, GAO studies, and other sources. (I believe my information in this paragraph is correct but, folks, feel free to tweak this.)
c. Appraisers seem to have an ever-increasing risk of liability in today's environment. It may be because we have E&O insurance. It may be because the GSEs and others are forcing lenders to buy back bad loans from years ago. Maybe it's because more and more reports are being reviewed. Maybe it's because more borrowers/sellers are looking for any reason to "blame" someone if their loan doesn't go through or their house doesn't sell. Whatever the reason(s) (or for no reason at all!), appraisers have a greater exposure to risk in the performance of their responsibilities than ever before. Has it reached the point of "you're guilty until proven innocent"? I don't know. But there seems to be ample evidence to support the theory that if you have a complaint against your license, AMC/lenders will add you to their "do not use" list as a precaution to reduce THEIR exposure to liability/risk. And unless something has changed recently, appraisers have little or no redress options when added to these "do not use" lists. You simple will not receive work.
4. Income potential is limited as a trainee. I joke with people who ask about coming into this industry by saying that they'll likely qualify for food stamps during their trainee period. If I didn't have reliable income sources outside of this industry, it would be almost impossible to maintain anything close to my normal standard of living.
5. Future income potential can also be problematic. Even after all of your training and education is complete, unless you're able to quickly develop and maintain a client base NOT associated with the GSEs, you'll find very, very little work as a Licensed Appraiser. You'll need to be a Certified Appraiser (again, Texas' titles and rules -- yours may be different) to actually capitalize on most appraisal opportunities. While private clients are the best, AMCs may be your life's blood in the first couple of years of appraising. They are NOT all evil. Try to find those that treat you professionally, have reasonable fees for the SOW and complexity of the assignment, have reasonable turnaround times, and who send you a reasonable amount of repeat work.
These are just a couple of thoughts and I hope you find something useful in the comments above.
Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions or concerns and I'll be glad to pass on what I've learned.
We don't make the news. We just report it!

All of the information has been very useful. TXArmadillo, I will digest all you have told me and take you up on your PM offer with more questions if and when I have them. Thanks everyone for your input. I am really sorry to hear that this is happening to your profession. I have bought and sold property in the past and the appraisal is an important part of that process. I hate to see it turned into a commodity and no longer a profession. The minute things start to become automated is the minute you can look for problems and then lawsuits will follow. More money for the lawyers, right?

Summer Reading Strategy - Series Books Grow Readers!
By Dr. Anne McGill-Franzen, professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN
For at least 100 years, series books have enthralled young and older readers alike, hooking them on storylines and quirky characters that speak to them in a way they understand. A great way to keep kids on track with their reading goals over the summer is to introduce them to a popular series of books that will last throughout the summer break.
As one parent so eloquently noted, her child at 6 years old needed
Junie B. Jones
to laugh with her peers; at 12 years old she needed
Gossip Girl
to help her make sense of her world; now at 19 she needs
Tender is the Night
and everything else F. Scott Fitzgerald ever wrote. This parent realized what researcher Catherine Ross discovered in her interviews of adult avid readers: Avid readers started reading with series books!
What is the power of series books?
Series books provide pleasure to young readers. They fill a need within them to know the kinds of things that series characters do and say, and what happens to them. Not only do young readers need to possess a deep knowledge of the characters say Harry Potter or Katniss Everdeen for themselves, but they need to know them to talk about them with their friends, to be the sort of person who has an opinion about the
Hunger Games
trilogy, who thinks she knows what will happen, and who can pass judgment on the way things turn out. Reading series books helps young people develop an identity as a reader a person who collects the new books in the series, who eagerly awaits the next book or movie, and most important, who
chooses to read
Reading series books makes kids smarter!
Besides the sheer pleasure of reading series books and the sense of belonging that expertise in a particular series confers on the reader, series books develop competence in reading. Reading series books improves students fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Simply put, reading series books makes kids smarter.
rapid and automatic word recognitionis an important component of reading development. For readers who are able to decode or sound out words but unable to do so quickly, experience with series books provides critical practice. Early on, researcher Melanie Kuhn and her colleagues believed that repeated readings of the same book or passage was essential to the development of fluency. More recently, these same researchers have discovered that wide reading the term researchers use to describe reading a variety of books at a particular level of different books within the readers instructional level is more efficient in developing fluency than rereading the same old passage. This is so because a relatively limited core of words is actually repeated over and over within, say, books at the first- or second-grade level. These words are often called
words, or
words. Wide reading provides many more contexts for encountering words (often the same words), and hence develops fluency. Readers who read multiple books in a series encounter the same characters and settings, so these names are familiar; high-frequency words are repeated often as in wide reading; and other less frequent but important content words are also repeated. To illustrate, lets take the word bully. Every school child today knows what bully means but may not recognize it in print, at least not at the first- or second-grade level. In
Ricky Ricottas Mighty Robot
, one of a series of books about a robot written by beloved childrens author Dave Pilkey, there is a chapter titled The Bullies. From a total of 85 words, every 12th word or so is bullies, providing ample opportunity for young readers to make the printed word their own.
Ricky was very small and the
picked on him. Where do you think you are going? asked one of the
. Ricky did not answer. He turned and started to run. The
chased him . (pp. 9-12).
is another component of reading development one that influences comprehension of text at every level. In conversation, most of us use only a fraction of the words in our reading lexicon. We seldom use what researchers have called rare words challenging words that appear in reading materials but rarely in our speech. In fact, rare words appear as often in books for preschoolers as in conversations among college-educated adults!
Taking a look at one of the
books, based on the TV series of the same name, the story opens on a cruise ship headed to Australia, and Scooby and Shaggy true to form are eating. Beautiful Daphne, again true to form, is showing off by the pool.
Daphne climbed up to the diving board, bounced a few times, and did a cannonball into the pool. The splash was so huge, it
the shuffleboard court, where Velma and Fred were playing. Great form, Daphne! Velma said
Rather than meeting new words like drenched or sarcastically in a lesson isolated from a story, readers of series books experience challenging words in the context of familiar characters and plots, a virtual scaffold for making new words their own.
The same holds true for
reading comprehension
. Written language text is much more complex than spoken language. Books hold not only rare words but more complex ideas that are embedded in different sentence patterns and organizational frameworks. Linguist and educator Carol Chomsky discovered several decades ago that exposure to literature was the most potent correlate of advanced language development for children between the ages of 5 and 10 years old more powerful than age, IQ, or family background!
Captain Underpants
The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby
, other series by Dave Pilkey, are notable not only for outrageous but engaging potty humor but also for language play. Danger Dog, for example, plays with the words on several signs, rearranging the following sign:
Saint Wendys
Trust in our Great
Doctors, Food, and Care.
to one that reads:
in our
Typography in series books also offers support. Readers of the
Babysitters Club
series cannot help but notice when the point of view changes even though the text is not annotated for different speakers because the font indicates a different person is speaking. Likewise, readers of
Junie B. Jones
are treated not only to full-blown language play (beautifulest) but also typographic cues to understanding characters through their dialogue: All caps suggests loud, insensitive bellowing; italics suggests exasperated or threatening words; and the words of toys who speak to Junie are always in italics.
The very redundancy of the characters, settings, and plots in series books provides support to readers at every stage of development, including those who are dealing with understanding and interpretation of long stretches of text in different genresrealistic fiction, fantasy, historical narratives, and so on. The new core standards make explicit the requirement that students make full use of text to develop an understanding of its meaning.
Series books grow readers in a host of ways by building a hunger for reading that provides a foundation for a lifetime of literacy. And literacy translates to success in and beyond the classroom into the corridors of life itself. Stock popular series in your classroom and school libraries, and promote series through booktalks. Then watch the books fly off the shelves as you watch learning soar!

Microsoft Might Just Be Done with Former Clinton Flack
When we searched Mark Penn's name yesterday on Bing, using our Surface tablets (psych!) and saw this headline we wondered, "Why would anyone want to fire this guy? His track record is just as spotless as his ethical record!" Remember the Wall Street Journal column he used to promote Burson-Marsteller while he was acting CEO? Good times.
Oh, and remember this 2008 gem? Thanks, Mark Penn!
Now why might Microsoft, according to the story broken by Re/code, be thinking about letting the guy go?

Thursday 15 November 2012
Supporter safety at Premier League grounds has never been greater after a Home Office report showed that football-related arrests fell by more than 30% last season.
More than 13 million fans went to the 380 matches in the Barclays Premier League last season and during that time 814 arrests were made, a rate of 2.14 a match. This was down from 1,191 in the 2010/11 season. There were significant drops in arrests for public disorder and violent disorder, as well as for racist chanting and pitch incursions.
Richard Scudamore, Premier League Chief Executive said: "It is not by accident that arrests rates at Premier League matches have fallen by nearly a third over the past season. This is down to years of hard work and co-operation between all those involved in football in this country. Tribute should be given to our 20 clubs and the way they have worked with supporters' bodies, the police and local authorities to make grounds safe but passionate.
"The Premier League is now the most watched and supported football league in the world and with that comes responsibility. Over the last two decades our clubs have worked tirelessly to make Premier League grounds more welcoming and are striving to deliver a first-rate experience for all fans. Not only are our grounds currently 95% full but the audience for Premier League football has never been more diverse: 23% of attending fans are female, 11% are black or ethnic minority and 13% of season-ticket holders are children."
"It proves that clubs working together with the football authorities and their local multi-agencies does work"
John Newsham
The police also welcomed the figures. "This decrease in the number of football-related arrests and banning orders is encouraging and shows the police service has worked hard with football clubs and supporters' associations to ensure genuine fans can attend games without incident," said Assistant Chief Constable Andy Holt, the Association of Chief Police Officers lead on football policing.
"Compared with the 2010/11 season there has also been a marked decrease in the number of public disorder incidents, alcohol offences and racist or indecent chanting at games."
Policing minister Damian Green MP hailed the statistics, saying it was "testament to our hugely successful model of football policing".
He added: "Where hooliganism was once described as 'the English disease', we now set an example for others to follow."
The Football Safety Officers Association called the reduction "encouraging", putting much of it down to good stewarding and good ground safety management.
"It proves that clubs working together with the football authorities and their local multi-agencies does work," said John Newsham, the FSOA chairman. "We must continue with this type of work and continue to build on relationships with all that are concerned with the safety of all who attend events."
Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the Football Supporters' Federation (FSF), added that the figures emphasises that "the overwhelming majority of fans reject football violence of any sort".
Clarke added: "The overall picture is a very positive one and the FSF wants to make sure this downward trend continues - we believe it can do so and reaffirm our commitment to a multi-agency approach involving fans' groups, the football authorities and the police."
An example of how seriously the Premier League takes the care of supporters is the VisitFootball initiative, a joint venture between the Premier League and the national tourism board VisitEngland that assesses the level of service that customers receive at football grounds.
VisitFootball has adapted VisitEngland's "Visitor Attraction Quality Assurance Scheme", which is used to assess other tourist attractions such as theatres and museums, specifically for football stadia. All 20 clubs in the Barclays Premier League were judged by a professional tourism assessor across eight areas of the supporter match experience, such as ticketing, stewarding, catering, toilets and the club shop.
During the first two seasons every club got one visit as part of the VisitFootball initiative but for the 2012/13 season every club will receive two visits. The scheme has been expanded to look at even more aspects of customer care and there are three new assessments being done at every Premier League ground: away supporters, accessibility and hospitality.

Panel Data Models
Nearly all of the models in LIMDEP may be analyzed with special tools for panel data. A partial list of the panel data models supported in LIMDEP includes:
- Linear regression model, OLS, GLS, IV
- Probit, logit, Gompertz, complementary log log binary choice
- Tobit, truncated regression, categorical data
- Survival models: exponential, Weibull, lognormal, loglogistic
- Loglinear models: Weibull, gamma, exponential, inverse Gauss
- Stochastic frontier
- Bivariate probit, partial observability
- Ordered probit, ordered logit, ordered Gompertz, ordered complementary log log
- Sample selection
- Poisson, negative binomial, zero inflated Poisson
- Conditional logit (multinomial logit - discrete choice)
The panel data models include fixed and random effects, random parameters and latent class models for almost all nonlinear models supported by the package. There are also numerous special estimators for the linear model, such as Arellano and Bond's GMM estimator for dynamic panels and Hausman and Taylor's estimator for random effects models. No panel data operation anywhere in the program requires that the data set be balanced. Most estimators place no limit on the number of groups in the panel - the data set is already 'in the program' so it must already fit in memory. Many tools in addition to the estimation programs are also provided. For example, you can bootstrap sample groups in your panel data set, a feature we have not seen anywhere else.

We have all learned many Spanish words and phrases. My kids both have absorbed the language like little fish. They usually remember words and phrases that I do not and they are always asking me how to say certain things in Spanish (which either have to look up or ask Kelli). I highly recommend Kelli and the Lango class!
Amy Menezes
Just had to tell you that my daughter *loves* the Lango CD. Each morning this week since Spanish class, she runs into the living room and jumps up and down yelling, "dance, dance!"

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Nope, you're not alone! Our house is 12 years old, and while we haven't had to deal w/ major stuff like replacing furnaces, I do feel like we have so much work to do in order to make it into the house we want. I wish we had a money tree because there's a lot of potential in our house but it's just kinda blah right now.
When we bought our house, we only intended to be in it for maybe 5-ish years, maybe a bit longer. Well, now that its value has fallen about $100K (GULP!!) since we bought it, we're gonna be here for much, much longer.
Yep. And our house isn't even what I would consider "old." Our house was built in 93, and we bought in 07. Since then, we've had to replace the a/c and furnace, the roof (not covered by insurance because they said it was a "design flaw"), fix the interior ceiling (thank you crappy roof), and pay someone to get rid of mold (once again, that you crappy roof). We've spent a fortune both removing the above ground pool and then trying to get grass to grow where the pool was. Despite this, you can still see a very clear outline of where the pool was. This summer, we absosutely have to get the deck replaced. It is falling apart and is to the point where I'm scared to walk on it.
We're both in the military and will be moving in the next year or two. There is no way we will make back anything close to what we've put in this house. Thankfully, we haven't had to go into additional debt to make these repairs. We've talked about renting this house out when we move since we won't be able to sell it for what we've spent, but with its track record I'm scared of what other things might go wrong.
I don't think I want to buy ever again until we're both out of the military and settle in a permanent location.
You are not alone! Buying a house was the worst financial decision we could have made (at least in the short term). We've been here 4 years and have had to replace the brand new roof (MAJOR $$$ not covered by insurance) because it was leaking everywhere, we've had mold remediation, the furnace has broken (it was repairable, but it was a $$$ repair - nearly 1k), had to install a fence underneath our porch because critters were digging at the foundation, blew in insulation, etc. etc. etc.
We still have a few big things on our list - we're getting central A/C shortly, and we have extensive electrical work to do (probably next year). We also have a leaky pipe that requires walls to be torn out to fix, but we're going to wait on that... we just don't use that bathroom in the meantime.
The real bummer is we haven't been able to do any "fun" or cosmetic remodeling (aside from painting) because we have so much structural work that needs done. We did get new windows - that was kind of fun but also very necessary, as our old windows were from 1929 and were cracked, leaking air, etc. I can't wait for the day when I can actually spend $$ on a bathroom remodel or new floors instead of something behind the walls.
Yes, but we did this intentionally. We bought a house that needed work in foreclosure so the money we would have put into a larger down payment we've used to renovate the house. In the past 2 years, we've done new flooring on the whole first floor, finished the basement, renovated the kitchen, and we're now renovating the bathroom/getting new windows.
It seems like people with newer houses have more issues. Our house is from the 1920s (we live in new england where there's a ton of old houses!) and we've had no issues at all. *knock on wood*
YES! Our house was built in 1910 and there are just so many problems. We had to replace the roof one year after we moved and we just had to have our basement waterproofed and redone. We found out that the previous owners did not disclose that the basement leaked which resulted in a LONG court case. We won, but did not get as much as we hoped. I love old houses, but I will never buy one again unless I have a TON of money to fix it up constantly. We also had to replace our furnace. It is never-ending......
Oh gawd...all these posts make me think I should just tear our "New to us" house down and have a ready to move in Prefab to my specs set on the xisting foundation...but then again in all honesty our house was build in 1950 and is not having any of the issues described...we just need a new Heating System which I'm sure could be had for $2000- but we want to get out of the Oil-business so it will run more like $12k...BUT our 1950 house is also still on the original heating system...
A money pit no doubt- but I feel fortunate and count my blessings that we were not able to buy at the peak of the market as my husband was laid of as an AIG Subcontractor a good 8 mths before everything went into freefall!
I really hope the market turns around soon for you guys sitting on a ton of negative equity!
We've been in our house 8 years and have literally replaced every.single.thing at least once (we're on our third stove and dishwasher).
We did have a lull there for a while where we didn't have to replace anything in a pinch, but the money got absorbed into other areas anyway so it wasn't even a break on the wallet... I just keep telling myself that it's all adding to my home's value and we'll make out great when we sell (we bought well before the housing crash so I know we'll make tons of money when we sell).
Absolutely. We're in the exact same boat, except we bought 5 years ago. I feel sort of cursed. We've had floods, freak random things, plumbing disasters, walls cave in, etc. And nothing has been covered by insurance. We know we're on year 5 of what the inspector said was a roof that would last 5 more years. And we only have 2 bedrooms, making it tough with a baby coming in 5 weeks. We're trying to do a short sale since we know it's probably going to take at least 10 years to get our value back. Still paying the mortgage, but listed it to see what happens.
Yup! Our house is 110 years old and we put a ton of work into it. Thankfully we haven't hired a contractor for any of it but still it's been a lot of work and it doesn't by any means look new even though everything is new.
We pay way too much to live in this craptrap!
during my pregnancy alone!!!
kitchen redo - cabinets were hideous and warping! shelf with glasses actually fell down
garage door needed replaced
AC broke in TX heat in July (due in Aug) - new AC didn't work at first
bathtub issues that could've lead to mold and part of our exterior wall falling down - new tub/tile, etc. in master!
On top of all that, we had already decided to close in an outdoor room as our nursery. I almost lost my mind but luckily we had extra $ saved up for baby!!!
Our house was built (poorly) in the 80s and had been a rental home when DH bought it.

PHOENIX (AP) — Police say the family of an 11-year-old leukemia patient whose mother unexpectedly took her from a Phoenix hospital last month has a history of removing the child from medical facilities against the advice of doctors.
The child, Emily Bracamontes, had been receiving chemotherapy at Phoenix Children's Hospital for about a month before her mother removed her on Nov. 28 while she was still being treated.
Since then, Emily's parents have refused to provide police in Arizona with any information on the child's whereabouts or treatment, but her mother and father have asserted in television interviews that she is under the care of doctors in Mexico.
The girl appeared in an interview Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America," the first time police have seen her since she was taken from the hospital.
Police say until Emily's parents provide proof the child is safe, criminal charges are still being considered.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (1/7/13) – On Saturday, January 5, 2012, at approximately 3:55 PM, Kentucky State Police (KSP) Trooper Byron White responded to the scene of an accident at the 7000 block of KY 54.
According to KSP Officials, 37-year-old Whitesville, KY native Michael Hall, along with four children as passengers, was traveling near the 7000 block of KY 54 in a 2003 White Honda Van when he noticed vehicles stopped in traffic. Hall ran off the side of KY 54 to avoid the stopped vehicles and came to rest in an earth embankment.
Three of the four children sustained minor injuries and were transported to Owensboro Medical Health System by Mr. Hall.

In Snow White & the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart is (according to a mirror that melts, turns into an imposing warrior and speaks) "the fairest of them all." Now, she has another superlative to add to her increasingly impressive resume: highest-paid actress of them all.
Forbes has unveiled its annual list of the top-earning actresses in Hollywood (based on the combined tally of "upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work"), and the 22-year-old Twilight star is perched at the very top. To snag that spot, all she had to do was earn a cool $34.5 million between May 2011 and May 2012 -- no problem thanks to the the one-two punch of last fall's The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 and this summer's Snow White.
Stewart didn't have a whole lot of breathing room, however. Nipping at her heels was Cameron Diaz, who snagged the No. 2 spot and earned $34 million this year. While Diaz's turn in What to Expect When You're Expecting was certinaly a factor, it was the surprising box-office success of her raunchy comedy Bad Teacher that truly put green in her pockets.
Sandra Bullock grabbed third on the list with $25 million, despite the fact that her only film over the period, the indie Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, was far from a box-office smash. (She's still earning residuals from her mega-grossing 2009 hit The Blind Side, which helps.)
Angelina Jolie, whose only films during Forbes' measured frame were Kung Fu Panda 2 and the indie In the Land of Blood & Honey (which she wrote and directed), took the No. 4 slot with $20 million -- largely on the strength of her product endorsements (thanks, Louis Vuitton!).
Fifth place belonged to Charlize Theron, who made $18 million over the one-year stretch thanks to high-profile turns in Snow White & the Huntsman and Prometheus, as well as her earnings as the face of Dior.
Rounding out the top 10 were Julia Roberts (No. 6 with $16 million), Sarah Jessica Parker (No. 7 with $15 million), Meryl Streep and Kristen Wiig (No. 8 and 9, respectively, with $12 million), and Jennifer Aniston (No. 10, with $11 million).

|I use standard 13-13-13 and then super phosphate when I have blooms. Also, this year I have started using the Hooker formula on my prebloom daylilies, and since it has such great stuff in it have been putting it on other flowering plants, as well. Also, about mid summer, I try to sprinkle a little Epsom salt around non-potted plants (ones in the ground). On my potted plants, I use either the Peters (20-20-20) or Miracle Gro (15-30-15).

|Homemade compost. It improves the soil as well as it feeds the plants, and the earthworms love it.
Only problem is, there's never "enough."

Juventus Vs AC Milan: Watch Live Streaming Of Italian Serie A [PREVIEW]
Claudio Marchisio. (Photo: Reuters)
Juventus take on AC Milan in Turin Sunday in a game that pits the two most successful Italian teams against each other. Kick-off is at 2:45 pm and can be watched live on beIN SPORT or streamed online (at user's risk).
Between them, Juventus and Milan have won 46 League titles, 14 Italian Cups and nine European Cups in a rivalry as old as Italian football itself. This season Juventus has been comfortably on top, leading Serie A by nine points with six games to go. The Old Lady will hope a win against their rivals will aid their quest to confirm a 29 league title.
Follow Us :
Milan have more riding on this game. They are embroiled in a battle for Champions League football next season. They currently occupy third spot (last qualification place) but face pressure from Fiorentina who are only four points behind. If Milan are defeated Sunday and Fiorentina beat Torino, the gap will be reduced to one solitary point.
The Rossoneri will be without striker Mario Balotelli for the game despite a partly successful appeal against his three-game suspension. The former Manchester City striker was given a two game ban for abusing a match official added to a one game ban for yellow card accumulation. It was later revealed that Balotelli's complaints were in response to racist abuse from opposing supporters.
A Milan appeal resulted in the ban being reduced by one game. Unfortunately for Milan manager Massimo Allegri, he will still be without the player for this weekend's fixture. Giampaolo Pazzini is likely to take his place, partnering Stephan El Shaarawy and either M'Baye Niang or Kevin-Prince Boateng in attack. Allegri controversially left El Shaarawy out of Milan's last game against Napoli, sparking rumors of a rift between player and manager. The player was quick to dismiss such allegations.
"I have an excellent rapport with Allegri," he said during a Google Hangout fan interview. "Right from last year, he was like a father to me. He is a great person, as he gives me advice on my football and helped form me as a man. I am grateful to him."
Juventus, who are unbeaten in their last seven games, are missing Anelka, Chiellini, Giovinco and Pepe due to injury. The Old Lady certainly have the squad depth to cope with the injuries. Alessandro Matri and Mirko Vucinic should start up front with Marchisio, Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal behind them in midfield.
Bragging rights are up for grabs in a game that should be a fascinating contest between Italy's two most successful teams.

The Imaginary Invalid
Translated and adapted by James Magruder, "The Imaginary Invalid" is an outrageous social commentary on medicine and its practitioners. The story follows a hopeless hypochondriac whose "habit" is supported by medical practitioners of all kinds. When it comes time to marry off his daughter, it is no surprise that he sees it as a chance to gain a doctor for a son. But his daughter has other ideas, and the result is a series of romantic misadventures, mistaken identities and more.

Hi everyone! How was your weekend? Pricey or Frugal? Black Friday is coming close, is anyone going out for it?
Now that my two trips are over(paid for on the cc next month with pay checks), it is back to the grind stone. Working as much as possible and trying to save after December. I have a lot of gifts purchased with some more to do but getting closer and nothing terrible money wise. I will probably spend more on food in December though....
I spent $9.00 on fast food this weekend and worked Saturday. I made a beef short rib tomato based crock meal yesterday and we watched the Canadian football. It was yummy and there are left overs!
Have a great frugal week everyone!
|Mon, 11-25-2013 - 11:49am
Groceries and did splurge on my DD13. Hair color, $13.00. Oh, and a 50 cent ice cream cone at McDonalds. DH paid for Chineese Saturday night and cooked the rest of the weekend. $7.00 at Starbucks during our ride.
DH is on board supporting my home business, so excited about that.

Well, it was a very pricey weekend here. I went to a NHL game with my sister - $175 for one ticket! It is always a sell out here though. She wanted to rent a hotel room and I balked at the cost so she picked up the whole tab on that. I did spend about $40 in beer and food for the night. Then I felt guilty and bought the boys all you can eat fish n chips sun night - $35.
We also went to the hardware store and bought some needed things. We built a new bed for DS2 for $12!!! We replaced the furnace vents and filter...and signed up to have the vents cleaned. It has been 5 yrs since we did this...and with everyone sick for weeks on end, I figured it might help.
We have to start shopping for xmas now...grrr....

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania high school wants its students to cut back on the body spray.
Freedom High School in Bethlehem says one of its students was recently taken to a hospital after being exposed to Axe Body Spray. Now, officials are asking students to stop using it as a cologne or fragrance while attending the school.
Unilever, which makes Axe, says it is looking into the report. The company says in a statement that the safety and well-being of users "is always our first priority" and consumers with concerns should call the toll-free number on the back of the package.
School officials say the affected student is severely allergic to the spray. It wasn't immediately clear what type of reaction the student had or what chemical may have been involved.

Spring Wine Picks: Austria's Hopler Vineyards, Gruner Veltliner +
It seems as though everyone loves a good Riesling for springtime and summer sipping. Last year, New York City was just one of the regions to participate in a "Summer of Rieslings" with a number of selections on the High Line and in restaurants. Germany is revered for its remarkable versions of the varietal.
However, a lesser-celebrated varietal promises to satisfy all of your desires as the warmer weather approaches. Gruner Veltliner, a national grape of Austria, shares Riesling characteristics, but has lighter, crisper, and fresher tones than its counterpart. On Friday March 28, Fairfield County hosted Christof Hopler, a respected winemaker and owner of Hopler vineyards in Austria. He presented a selection of his delicious wines to an eager room of wine enthusiasts at South End Restaurant in New Canaan.
