I bought this car used about 2 weeks ago from a private party. After driving it for I while I have noticed that occasionally it finds the P0171 code when starting. I estimate it finds the code in about 10 to 20% of cold starts. It never finds the p0174 code or any other code. Occasionally while cranking during a cold start there is a knock or a popping sound. There is never a knock or rough running at any other time. There may be a slight lag in acceleration from slow speeds. Fuel consumption seems to be elevated at about 19 mpg of mostly highway driving. The car has about 115k miles on it. I am interested in what is the most effective set of steps to resolve this problem. I think if the problem was the MAF sensor or a vacuum leak, etc, it would find both 171 and 174, at least some of the time. My OBD-II scanner can not read real time engine data (is it worth investing in a more capable scanner or should I take the car to a mechanic?). It can only read and erase stored codes. Will driving the car without attending to this problem cause further damage? Where should I start in troubleshooting?

The Mississippi Department of Education has decided to put an end to the early-release programs that some of the state's school districts have employed. The State Board of Education made its ruling last week. Friday, they announced there would be a 25-day period in which residents can state their view on the matter.
Columbus is fortunate to have many festivals, events and celebrations sprinkled liberally throughout the calendar year. Each plays a distinct role in helping Columbus develop and enhance a sense of community. We are at our best when we are together on such occasions, when the focus is not on the many things that often divide us, but on the interests and values that we share.
Monday night the Columbus Municipal School District's Board of Trustees pulled a fast one on the teachers and parents who came out to hear discussion on Superintendent Martha Liddell's proposal for "early dismissal Wednesdays" during the 2012-2013 school year.
This month, California will actually follow a trend, for once. And for once, it's a trend Mississippi would do well to emulate.
Recently, the Columbus City Council meetings have taken on the aura of theater - theater of the absurd, to be more accurate.
To understand a thing, you must first understand its nature. When a person kills another person it is generally considered a criminal act. But when a cat kills a mouse, no one considers it a crime (aside from the mouse, of course). The cat is not regarded as a murderer. It is simply being true to its cat nature. Allowances are made for that.
This week, seven Mississippi elected officials announced they had switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. As you might imagine, the news was heralded as a triumph among giddy GOP leaders. The Democratic response, just as predictably, was terse. Switching parties six months into a four-year term is not something to be taken lightly.
Tonight, the Columbus Municipal School District will announce a decision on the superintendent position.
People are quick to dismiss the financial troubles of the bankrupt Columbus Country Club. Snobs, fat cats and elitists are terms that get thrown around in conversations about the 89-year-old club.
The CVB currently has a good set of grant application guidelines -- requiring the submission of line-item budgets, as well as the anticipated impact of the festival presented -- but they need to be adhered to.
This week Newsweek magazine released its list of America's Best High Schools for 2012 and one of ours made the grade.
Each spring at Pentecost, Annunciation Catholic Church holds an international food festival.
This Saturday, a home-cooked meal in Starkville could cost you $125. You can be sure it won't be your standard meat-and-three.

There's little doubt pre-kindergarten classes have significant benefits to students, school districts and communities.
Let's forget, for a moment, the challenges associated with enforcing a "saggy pants" ordinance. (Who wants to be the officer responsible for measuring -- and documenting -- how far a man's pants hang below his waist?)
A car moving 60 mph will go more than the length of a football field in the five seconds a driver looks down to send a text or dial a phone number. That driver is more than 20 times likely to have an accident than a non-texting driver.

It is no new observation that the Bible instructs us to love our neighbors and to love our enemies, probably because they end up being the same people.

Hi Gemma,
Have you asked this helpful person what she means when she refers to you as an Empathic Witch or a Natural Spirit since she would be the best source (in my opinion) because she is the one who gave you the terms, I would believe that she should be able to tell you (explain) what those terms mean to her.
Also what do you mean when you say that someone "blocked" you when you were 5? Blocked you from what?
Even if you have surpassed this person ability wise she should still be able to "unblock you" since she is the one who blocked you to begin with.
Best wishes
Hi Gemma,
I wish I had some reading recommendations but unfortunately I don't. I would ask Nocturne's Angel because I think if anyone could suggest something it would be her. I'm hoping someone else will pop on and suggest something. The way to private message is you go to someone's personal page and under their photo click on "Add as Friend." That sends them a friend request, and when they accept it you can message each other.
Hi Gemma,
Well, it's impossible to say what this person meant by "witch" and "natural spirit." As far as I'm concerned, if you're not practicing witchcraft or you're not a Wiccan, then you're not a witch. You would be best qualified to say whether that is the case or not. Some people have called me a witch when I was not remotely involved with witchcraft, just because they sensed something "mystical" or "magical" or "woo" about me. On one hand, they were correct in that they sense something about me which is different, but on the other hand they were putting the wrong word on it. So maybe that's what was happening in this case too.
"Natural spirit"? I have no clue what they meant by that.
Now as for being an empath, again you are best qualified to answer that. If you are still in contact with this person, I would ask them to elaborate on what they meant by those comments. My guess is--and I'm just speculating--that they were trying to say that they sense you have empathic and/or psychic abilities and natural magical talent. Now the real question is, what does that mean to you? How do you feel about that?
We can but try! Ask away Gemma!

Curtain for a window next to a wall
I read the other discussions about hanging curtains, and I am all for hanging curtains high and wide. Unfortunately, one of the windows in my bedroom is right against the wall, with only 2 inches or so between the trim and the wall. I suppose I could take off the finial on the side by the wall, but that still doesn't leave room for the curtain to open all the way. I was also thinking I could gather the curtain on the side that is not by the wall, but this would look unbalanced. Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to handle this situation? Thank you! I appreciate the help!
Is it like this, chickenlips? This is our small "study" in our new house which hasn't been decorated yet (needs new rug, WT, furniture...) but is low on my priority list. This room, and dd's and ds's rooms upstairs all have this annoying feature. In our house it was necessary to preserve the classic symmetry of our front facade, with the constraints of our staircase which is on the other side of the left wall. We are fortunate that the dining room, on the other side of the staircase and wide foyer, has symmetrical windows. That room is very prominently located in the house and it would have driven me nuts! Anyway...I had always thought in my head that I would do a pair of panels on the right window, and one panel with the finial dying into the wall on the left side. I figured there was no way to "hide" the asymmetry. I was planning to work with a designer to make sure, buf have really pushed this project own my list! Don't want to hi-
jack, but will be following this thread closely!
@ nini
Yes! That is exactly how my bedroom windows are situated, only mirror opposite. Looks like we have the same situation. I need to get my curtains done before we move up to the bedroom, so I can't put this project off too much... I can post a picture of the finished product if you are interested when I finally get it done.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I am set on curtains. I bought the material and am in the process of making some. I just need to figure out how to hang them on the weird window.
So will you be using the curtains for privacy? What type of rods/construction are you thinking? In my children's rooms upstairs, I just did plantation shutters for privacy, and am just now thinking of decorative curtains for dd. You could do some type of hard valance at the top, which could cover the rods and might make it look a little more balanced. I have pretty much decided with mine that there is no way to make them appear symmetrical, so I am just hoping that the fabric and style of treatments I do will be lovely enough that people will overlook the wonkyness! :)
Hi Chickenlips...You can do one panel with a tie back to the wall side. For the rod use a end cap butting to the wall and a finnial on the other side. I think ellendi suggestions of using a Roman Shade is a good idea. For a little more character have it made as a hobbled or waterfall. I included a link to a pic of what the drapery might look like.
Here is a link that might be useful: Narrow drape
I think I would be tempted to get a rod that turns the corner so a small part of the drapery covers the corner and trim of the window, but the rest stacks to the side.
Might solve the problem, or might look even more unbalanced. I feel for you guys.
Here's a picture I found of a room that has the same problem.
Spaces design by Charlotte Interior Designer Donna Frasca
I think the OP in the other thread mentioned that she didn't like these rods, but I find that they are quite pretty in their simplicity and the attention is on the drapery instead of the rod.
May I just say that I really really dislike the men who design/build houses with windows like this! Wat the #*%� were they thinking? (That is a rhetorical question-I know they are planning the exterior look when they do this, but it is still stupid). We have several as well. Love the house, hate the placement of several windows. We have no window treatments since privacy is not an issue with those windows, but I think I would go with a shade.
My bedroom has a similar issue. My windows are close to the wall but unlike your situation, the windows are spaced evenly. I used curved rods from Penney's and they look fine. I like rods with finials better but they would never work.
In fact I posted a few days ago asking if it would be okay if, in another bedroom, I used a curved rod for a cramped corner window and used a straight rod with finials for the other windows. Didn't get too many responses to the post.
You have two issues - balance and space. Curved rods solve the space issue but I don't know what you would do about the balance.
Here is a link that might be useful: Curved curtain rod
Thank you all for your responses! You have given me a lot of good things to consider. My curtains would be for privacy. I was set against blinds because I really dislike the ones with the string that pulls them up and down; although I have to say, the waterfall roman shades don't seem too bad. I prefer the way curtains look though too, so I'm pretty set on trying something with the curtains whether it be a success or failure!
I am intrigued by this curved rod idea. It would be interesting if it were possible to have a curved rod on the side by the wall and a finial on the other side.
Arrrgh.... i get so frustrated as I know exactly what I want to show you, but I can't find a picture that shows it....
Anyway, here's as close as I can come and this example isn't great, but perhaps it will give you an idea. Please ignore the floppy contrasting top on this example...
Instead of using a curtain rod, which you don't like, you can mount finials to the wall so they cover the entire window and hang like a tab-top curtain, or here they used large curtain rings, off the finials. (For a more country look, I've seen people use antique glass door knobs.) Then use a hook or a knob or a tie back to pull the curtains to one side for the daytime, and just unhook them for privacy at night.
Otherwise, in your pic, you do have room to mount a regular curtain rod and put a stationary valance across the top and then hide a shade ...roller, duette...behind it, or you can put a woven wood shade under it. You could use either a gathered one or a flat one.
I think the suggestion to have the curtains draw to the middle when open is a great idea. If you are just going to slide them open and closed you could use a single rod. If you are using an actuall traverse rod I think you would need two rods with one being a right draw and the other being a left draw. Drawing them to the middle would allow maximum light in during the day because no fabric would be covering part of the window glass. If you want a valance with your curtains, you could make it one long one to stretch across both windows.
You could consider using swing arm curtain rods - either one wide one or two narrower ones per window. The one for the corner window could be mounted on the side wall and swung open to rest agains the side wall. Since both sides of the drape show when you use the swing arm rods, you'll want the back side of the drape to be nice fabric too.
That swing arm idea is very cool! You would have to leave a clearance when putting furniture on that wall, but it is certainly one option. Also, you would't want white lining, which could affect how the curtains look from outside.
Your builder was just plain sloppy. I understand the window problem but your heat registers are very badly placed. There is no excuse for that. smh
I think I am going to go with the one long rod across both the windows and open the curtains in the middle. I really like that idea! I saw in a blog that I can even just spray paint electrical conduit for the rod (see below). Then I am going to put a plant or tapestry or something to stop the line of vision on the left side of the left window to make the windows look more balanced. I will post a picture when we are done.
Again, thank you so much for all the responses and ideas! I am learning a lot about the options available for this unfortunate space issue. The swinging curtain rods do look really cool and the idea to use finials instead of a curtain rod seems really nice too!
Here is a link that might be useful: DIY Curtain Rod
I'll be looking forward to seeing it finished. It's either going to look great or it will look funny, lol. Maybe you should find some way to hang them in that spot temporarily, before you go to the trouble of installing the single rod?
You could tack (with push pins) them onto a long 1 x 2 and get others to hold each end up so you can get an idea.
I haven't seen chickenlips exterior, but I have seen Nini's.
It is drop dead gorgeous and the perfect symmetry of her beautiful Georgian home is well worth the sacrifice of a couple of off center windows.
But, I am a sucker for symmetry (and beautiful quilts).
Personally I think the window treatments in the link I posted below are absolutely hideous. However - note how they manage to take your eye away from the fact that the window butts up to the side wall.
I have a window like that in my home and when we moved in the previous homeowner had installed a window treatment that did the same thing in a much simpler manner. It was merely a canopy with 2 side panels. The height of the canopy and the fact that it protruded into the room minimized the wall next to the window. Wish I had a photo to show you but that was 25 years ago. Now that I think of it the canopy resembled a simple bed crown.
Here is a link that might be useful: window treatment
Wow Quilly, I've never seen that done. It does trick the eye for a minute, but I could never live with it, lol.
I like the fullness in the last pic you posted. Any way you could get more panels and add the same number on the empty sides (in the last pic) of the windows? I think the color looks terrific with your comforter and walls, but I think the curtains do need to be a little fuller to look their best.
Beautiful color! I agree about adding more panels to make the curtains fuller. Also a beefier curtain rod would help. I would even lower the rods a bit.
Put a picture between the two windows so it won't look so jarring when the curtains are closed.
A tall houseplant or a tall and narrow piece of furniture in the corner would look great there, and will mask the oddness of the window placements.

We are walking towards Mystic forest, where I saw a huge fire. By the time we arrived in Mystic forest, the entire forest was burnt to ashes. Nothing was left, but sadness. All the flowers were gone, and the trees were all destroyed. The liveliness that was once there died with the forest.
Ammo and I walked further into what was left of Mystic forest, finding more of what we saw before, ashes.

I woke up, and all I saw was white screen of nothing.
Where am I? Am I dead? Did I go the spirit world? So many questions are running though my mind at this moment.
I then got up and looked around. I then got up and went to get a fresh pair of clothes, I put on my jeans and I then grabbed my shirt. I took of the dirty one and noticed something different about my appearance. I was somehow taller, more muscular, and I have a tattoo!? I twisted my arm around to get a better look at it, it was a dragon. Was this the very same dragon we killed? It certainly looked like the dragon we killed; it even had the injuries from the fight.

"Wait, just real quick." I pleaded, my voice low as to not disturb the other people in line. He sighed, turning his head so he could watch me in the corner of his eye.
"What?" He asked rudely.
"What are we doing?" I ask him. He doesn't respond, but turns away. "Answer me." I demand.
"If you don't know then why are you here?" He quizzes me.
"I-...." I didn't want to admit to him that I don't remember anything but the line. "I don't know." I finally say it. it shouldn't have been that hard, but it took... a while.

The DragonbornAn ungodly shriek sounded loud and high, joined with sound of its wings slicing through the air. It sent a chill down her spine and caused her to freeze instantly, like a deer in sudden danger.

Her muscles tightened instinctively and her breath caught her throat as her eyes jumped to the dark, cold, grey sky. But it was already gone.
Certainty settled into her mind, the hunt was on. The only question that stood; who was the predator and who was prey? Two roles that would stay unclear and undecided until the final moment. It was certainly hunting her, but this prey would not go quietly nor easily into Oblivion.
Her ears perked up immediately. Keenly waiting and listening, but she sat in absolute silence. An eerie stillness only broken by the dull breeze -- unafraid of what traveled in its winds -

Two years passed and I didn't see that beautiful girl ever again but all I could do was think about her How nice she was with me, her smile and her tenderness that made everyone around her want to hug her and never let go.
One day when I started school I finally saw her again She was still the same,she had the same long hair she had before, and she still made me feel in the clouds. Then when she saw me, she smiled in a tender way and waved. For a moment I was paralyzed, so nervous, and I couldn't help but blush and finally I waved back

Eating cole slaw will make me sputter,
A sweaty foot, dog poop on the lawn,
Is that a wasp over there? That's it, I'm gone.
My fear of cellphones I cannot explain,
I'm scared of small children who always complain.
The horror of jello that melts in the heat,
That moment you realize it's "mystery meat".
With toothpaste and matches, the world is so scary!
Ever noticed, close up, most bugs are hairy?
The thought of pierced ears sets me into a tizzy,
Knowing germs are everywhere makes me feel dizzy,
Waking up to dog breath in the morning,
That kid who decides to bite without warning,
Backwash, mold, being sprayed by a skunk,
Comprehending that your favorite shirt shrunk,
When people notice you can't tell time,
Dreams about miss piggy's heinous crime,
Anxiety when you run out of soap,
The chance of falling when jumping rope,
Unidentified creature with glowing green eyes,
A math test that surely will bring your demise,

The Power of GriefHe had buried her himself, returning her broken lifeless body to the Bionis in Paradise Park, so in her eternal slumber she could look over Colony Nine as she had with Shulk and Reyn so many times. Squatting in front of her grave, he remembered her. Her laugh. Her smile. Her eyes. They were all gone. Forever. Fresh tears began to well in his electric blue eyes. The realization of how much he had lost, how much he would never see again... A tear escaped one eye. And another. And another. Soon the tiny trickle had transformed into a massive downpour. Raw sobs were wrenched from his lungs as the raw grief over-whelmed him. Colony Nine heard him. Especially a certain spiky red-haired Defence Force soldier. Upon hearing those heart-wrenching sobs he abandoned his post, running at a sprint through the Residential District and up into Paradise Park.The Power of Grief3 years ago in Short Stories More Like This

He soon came across his partner, and helped the injured girl to her feet. The two of them escaped their destroyed base through a hidden tunnel, arriving at their underground emergency bunker.

Monday was the deadline for Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson to veto SB 202, the anti-anti-discrimination bill that seeks to prevent cities and counties from protecting the civil rights of gay people.
The bill passed the legislature 10 days ago. Hutchinson said he would allow it to become law. During the past week, pressure had been mounting on the governor to change his mind.
Five days ago, the Arkansas chapter of the Human Rights Campaign released a statement condemning the bill. "Discrimination is not an Arkansas value, and the Governor should take swift, immediate action to veto SB202," said chapter director Kendra R. Johnson. Read more »

Startup Finance: Where To Spend And Where To Save
The popular business saying, "You need to spend money to make money" is particularly true when venturing out in the business world as an entrepreneur.
This month

Small business finance covers the nuts and bolts of funds management including cutting edge tools to manage funds and commentary from leading small business finance experts.
The popular business saying, "You need to spend money to make money" is particularly true when venturing out in the business world as an entrepreneur.
It is easy to make financial mistakes. However, once you recognize potential missteps, you can take steps to avoid them. Here are the top five financial mistakes startups make and how to steer clear of them.
As much as high-growth startups look alike, the industry they operate in or the stage of development they are facing are major influencers on the amount of money a company "burns" on a monthly basis.
Mobile app flipping is a rapidly-growing investment strategy for young entrepreneurs. And for tech savvy business owners it is a low risk and sensible way to develop a unique and technology driven investment portfolio.
As you craft your next investment pitch, keep these three things in mind.
It's important that you know what type of relationship you're entering.
Whether you choose to bootstrap or take early capital, remember to always do this.
The age-old concept of the American dream lives on in the world of startups — we have pulled ourselves up by our very own bootstraps.
These four principles helped us launch a successful crowdfunding campaign and turn our product into a sustainable business.
In the end, fundraising boils down to one thing: You have to tell a story that investors really want to hear.

NOAA, National Hurricane Center, FEMA, you name it. All these federal groups running around doing nothing but forecasting, warning, preparing you, running evacuations, and eventually doing rescues could be better handled by a private sector "HurriCo" that obviously would do what PEOPLE want, as represented by what they can afford in hurricane-fear gouging binges, instead of acting in the public interest as represented by the Nanny State and its one-size-fits-all evacuate EVERYBODY stupid left-wing ideology. The private sector would be so much better at search-and-rescue-for-a-profit, shelter-natural-disaster-victims-for-a-profit exercises. Also why should the gubmit rebuild roads, bridges, sewer lines, whatev after a hurricane when the private sector is guaranteed to do it better because of all the competition and free market and invisible hand and whatnot. And the goddam National Hurricane Center is the worst, all they ever do is talk and predict and warn and blah blah blah, but in their whole history they have NEVER prevented ONE SINGLE HURRICANE. - PFnV, Official renter for the weeks of August 27-September 11, Nags Head Realty, NC As soon as the Nanny State lets people back on the Outer Banks
or maybe we just bring the National Guard back from Afghanistan/Iraq and have them respond to this. If i am not mistaken, thats a big part of their job.
Oh yeah by the way, I CERTAINLY hope no Republican governor accepts ANY Federal emergency aid of any kind. Except Virginia's, of course.
Well, there's your problem right there. Then again, I went and got an Alaskan kayaking package for January.
Rick Perry will hold an old time really big tent revival and pray away the storms.. meanwhile it still has not rained in Texas.
Yeah we never survived Hurricanes back in the day before FEMA...... :singing: I remember a number of Hurricanes hitting RI when I was a boy, no 24/7 coverage no FEMA and yet we survived, wonder how that happened.
Yeah,well, you may have survived but in 1954, 60 people and 200 homes did not. Providence,Rhode Island hurricanes
You should have checked the 1938 Hurricane for real death and destruction, the difference is of course satellites to allow people to prepare and evacuate as needed. Of course the property loss cannot be prevented in the case of a natural disaster by the Feds or anyone else. BTW private insurance did take care of property loss without the feds getting involved.
I did not mention '38 because you specified "in your lifetime." If you were born before 1938 I apologize....based upon your enlistment years I am thinking you were not. But there are federal building codes which much be adhered to now which were not in place at the time. Are you denying that a tougher standard of building materials and specifications have made a difference? That's probably debatable since most homeowner's insurance policies do not cover natural disasters. Unless, of course, you got a link which backs up your claim.
Same goes for Galveston in 1900 or so. No advanced warning and it's estimated 8000-12000 perished. While we all hope and pray that the damage and devastation is kept to a minimum, it will be interesting if the Federal response will have improved since Katrina in 2005 and the press coverage of it. The Northeast is much more densely populated. I have seen the destruction caused by a Cat 3 Hurricane firsthand, Katrina in Mississippi and television did not do it justice. If you have seen the pictures of the bombed out cities in Europe post-World War 2, it is the closest I can describe it as resembling.
Yeah it's just better cuz of satellites... And we woulda gotten those sooner if kennedy had said "we will urge small businesses, before this decade is out, to land a man on the moon and return him safely to earth, as a completely speculative venture in case it leads to some private sector profit..." Let them commies use state resources on space programs! The private sector woulda launched Rand I by 1947 if it weren't for them damn nanny state Democrats!
Yep, he did...all the way down to 65% - or twice as high as they are today. BTW Kennedy also believed the following: "If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich." The Myth of JFK as Supply Side Tax Cutter - US News and World Report
Kennedy's not my favorite president for a few reasons, but he had some great one-liners about the dangers of an imbalanced society.
RI recovered, but not well and not quickly.. the last major hurricane was Carol in 1954, and we lost power for a week.. where we lived was never really fixed, and we lived with water stained ceilings.. Yes we were less reliant on government, but there were in general less people and it took months to achieve some type of normalcy.. Do not minimize the impact of hurricanes, FYI FEMA does not do a lot of rebuilding or direct stuff.. their role is more coordination and making sure services are delivered. Having worked in several disasters now, it is apparent that volunteer service agencies drive the recovery... and there is a need for coordination of them. Most recentlly after the RI Floods there were Mennonite Church Groups, Methodist Church Groups, Catholic Church Groups etc. All of which, now thanks to George, can be reimbursed by the Federal Government.. When I was in Louisiana for disaster response, the same thing was apparent.. there are a lot of groups that get mobilized quickly to respond. This hurricane has the possibility of disrupting the lives of up to 65 million people.. that is a lot of people, a lot of homes and a lot of businesses. The way it looks right now is that the emergency response system will be stressed to the max times 2.

At Home Beauty Remedies
This past Saturday my roommates and I were in the mood to do some home remedies, specifically for our hair and skin. After researching on the Internet, we found several that we were interested in trying out. The first consisted of mixing baking soda and water and massaging it into the scalp, while our hair was damp. This was supposed to clean the scalp while also stimulating hair growth. After, we put coconut oil at the ends of our hair, and let sit for 20 minutes. While waiting, we beat two egg whites to rub on our faces. We were amazed at how tight the egg made our faces feel. The tightness in our skin felt as though we had just gotten a face-lift. We couldn't move or even smile! After 20 minutes we rinsed our hair to rid the coconut oil and wiped away the egg whites. Lastly, to top off our day at Salon de Irving Ave, we made a brown sugar and honey scrub. Did these tricks work? Is our hair shiny and silky? I can say that my hair does in fact feel silkier than before dumping our pantry in it.

2014 | 2012 |2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008 | 2007 | 2006 | 2005 | 2004 | 1996
- Brosnan, M and Levinson, D. (2014) Accessibility and the Allocation of Time: Changes in Travel Behavior 1990-2010 Using detailed travel surveys conducted by the Metropolitan Council of the Minneapolis/St Paul (Twin Cities) Region in Minnesota for 1990, 2000-2001, and 2010-2011, this paper conducts a detailed analysis of journey-to-work times, activity allocation and accessibility. This study corroborates previous studies showing that accessibility is a significant factor in commute durations. Adjusting land use patterns to increase the number of workers in job-rich areas and the number of jobs in labor-rich areas is a reliable way of reducing auto commute durations. The finding that accessibility and commute duration have a large affect on the amount of time spent at work shows that activity patterns are influenced by transportation and the urban environment in very impactful ways. The descriptive results of this analysis show a measurable decline in the time people spend outside of their homes as well as the amount of time people spend in travel over the past decade. Although trip distances per trip are not getting any shorter, the willingness to make those trip is declining, and as a result fewer kilometers are being traveled and less time on average is being allocated to travel.(working paper)
- Di, X, Liu, H, Zhu, S, and Levinson, D. (2014) Indifference Bands for Route Switching >Abstract: The replacement I-35W bridge in Minneapolis saw less traffic than the original bridge though it provided substantial travel time saving for many travelers. This observation cannot be explained by the classical route choice assumption that travelers always take the shortest path. Accordingly, a boundedly rational route switching model is proposed assuming that travelers will not switch to the new bridge unless travel time saving goes beyond a threshold or "indifference band". To validate the boundedly rational route switching assumption, route choices of 78 subjects from a GPS travel behavior study were analyzed before and after the addition of the new I-35W bridge. Indifference bands are estimated for both commuters who were previously bridge users and those who never had the experience of using the old bridge. This study offers the first empirical estimation of bounded rationality parameters from GPS data and provides guidelines for traffic assignment. Keywords: Route Choice, Travel Demand Modeling, Bounded Rationality, Indifference Band, GPS Study, Travel Behavior, Networks (working paper)
- Janson, M. and Levinson, D. (2014) Alternative High Occupancy/Toll Lane Pricing Strategies and their Effect on Market Share High Occupancy/Toll (HOT) Lanes typically charge a varying to single occupant vehicles (SOVs), with the toll increasing during more congested periods. The toll is usually tied to time of day or to the density of vehicles in the HOT lane. The purpose of raising the toll with congestion is to discourage demand enough to maintain a high level of service (LOS) in the HOT lane. Janson and Levinson (2014) demonstrated that the HOT toll may act as a signal of downstream congestion (in both general purpose (GP) and HOT lanes), causing an increase in demand for the HOT lane, at least at lower prices. This paper builds off that research and explores alternative HOT lane pricing strategies, including the use of GP density as a factor in price to more accurately reflect the value of the HOT lane. In addition, the paper explores the potential effect these strategies would have on the HOT lane vehicle share through a partial equilibrium analysis. This analysis demonstrates the change in demand elasticity with price, showing the point at which drivers switch from a positive to negative elasticity. (working paper)
- Owen, A. and Levinson, D. (2014) Developing a Comprehensive US Transit Accessibility Database This paper discusses the development of a national public transit accessibility evaluation framework, focusing on lessons learned, data source evaluation and selection, calculation methodology, and examples of accessibility evaluation results. In both practice and in research, accessibility evaluation remains experimental and methodologically fragmented. This heightens the "first mover" risk for agencies seeking to implement accessibility-based planning practices, as they must select a method which might produce results that can only be interpreted locally. Development of a common baseline accessibility metric could advance the use of accessibility- based planning. The accessibility evaluation framework described here builds on methods developed in earlier project, extended for use on a national scale and at the Census block level. Application on a national scale involves assembling and processing a comprehensive national database of public transit network topology and travel times. This database incorporates the significant computational advancement of calculating accessibility continuously for every minute within a departure time window of interest. Values for contiguous departure time spans can then be averaged or analyzed for variance over time. This significantly increases computational complexity, but provides a very robust representation of the interaction between transit service frequency and accessibility at multiple departure times. (working paper)
- Schoner, J., Lindsey, G., and Levinson, D. (2014) Differences Between Walking and Bicycling Over Time: Implications for Performance Measurement Transportation policies and plans encourage non-motorized transportation and the establishment of performance measures to assess progress towards multi-modal system goals. Challenges in fostering walking and bicycling include the lack of data for measuring rates of walking and bicycling over time and differences in pedestrians and bicyclists and the trips they make. This paper analyzes travel behavior inventories conducted by the Metropolitan Council in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area in 2001 and 2010 to illuminate differences walking and bicycling over time and illustrate the implications for performance measurement. We focus on the who, what, where, when, and why of non-motorized transportation: who pedestrians and bicyclists are, where they go and why, when they travel, and what factors are associated with the trips they make. Measured by summer mode share, walking and bicycling both increased during the decade, but the differences between the modes overshadow their similarities. Using descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, and multinomial logistic models, we show that walkers are different than bicyclists, that walking trips are shorter and made for different purposes, that walking and bicycling trips differ seasonally, and that different factors are associated with the likelihoods of walking or bicycling. While the increase in mode share was greater for walking than bicycling, the percentage increase relative to 2001 share was greater for bicycling than walking. Both walking and bicycling remain mainly urban transportation options. Older age reduces the likelihood of biking trips more than walking trips, and biking remains gendered while walking is not. These differences call into question the common practice of treating nonmotorized transportation as a single mode. Managers can use these results to develop performance measures for tracking progress towards system goals in a way that addresses the unique and different needs of pedestrians and bicyclists.(working paper)
- Schoner, J, Lindsey, G., and Levinson, D. (2014) Factors Associated with the Gender Gap in Bicycling Over Time Bicycling has grown in popularity over the past decade, but the gap in rates of bicycling between men and women in the United States (US) persists. This paper uses regional travel behavior study data from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Region in 2000 and 2010 to measure and model the gender gap in bicycling over time. Findings from a series of statistical tests show that in aggregate, women bike less than men, and that growth in bicycling has been slower for women than for men over the past decade. However, stratifying the sample shows that women who live with at least one other adult bicyclist participate in bicycling at an equal rate as men. Similarly, frequency of bicycle trips among people who participate in bicycling differed by gender only slightly in 2000, and not at all in 2010. Binary logistic modeling results show that several factors, such as age and trip purpose, are associated with different bicycling outcomes for men and women, but some commonly hypothesized explanations, such as having children, were declining in effect or altogether insignificant. These findings and conclusions are important for practice and research because understand- ing the nuances of the gender gap, such as the apparent gap in participation but not in frequency or the contagion effect of living with a cyclist, is essential for targeting programs effectively. This paper also identifies several travel behavior data collection limitations that complicate studying the gender gap, and offers recommendations for further study. (working paper)
- Tang, W., and Levinson, D. (2014) People are not 'rational': An empirical study of the deviation between actual and shortest travel time paths Abstract: Few empirical studies of revealed route characteristics have been reported in the literature. This study challenges the widely applied shortest path assumption by evaluating routes followed by residents of the Minneapolis - St. Paul metropolitan area, as measured by the GPS Component of the 2011 Twin Cities Travel Behavior Inventory. It finds that most travelers used paths longer than the shortest path. Some reasons for this are conjectured. Keywords: Rationality, Route Choice, User Equilibrium, GPS Study, Travel Behavior, Networks (working paper)
- Carrion, Carlos, Nebiyou Tilahun, and David Levinson (2012) Monte Carlo Simulation of Adaptive Stated Preference Survey with a case study: Effects of Aggregate Mode Shares on Individual Mode Choice. Monte Carlo experiments are used to study the unbiasedness of several common random utility models for a proposed adaptive stated preference survey. This survey is used to study the influence of the knowledge of existing mode shares on travelers mode choice. Furthermore, the survey is applied to a sample of subjects selected from the University of Minnesota. The results indicate that the presence of mode shares in the mode choice model does influence the decision of travelers. The estimates are found to be biased by the Monte Carlo experiments. (Working Paper)
- Iacono, Michael, David Levinson, Ahmed El-Geneidy, and Rania Wasfi (2012) Markov Chain Model of Land Use Change in the Twin Cities The set of models available to predict land use change in urban regions has become increasingly complex in recent years. Despite their complexity, the predictive power of these models remains relatively weak. This paper presents an example of an alternative modeling framework based on the concept of a Markov chain. The model assumes that land use at any given time, which is viewed as a discrete state, can be considered a function of only its previous state. The probability of transition between each pair of states is recorded as an element of a transition probability matrix. Assuming that this matrix is stationary over time, it can be used to predict future land use distributions from current data. To illustrate this process, a Markov chain model is estimated for the Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN, USA (Twin Cities) metropolitan region. Using a unique set of historical land use data covering several years between 1958 and 2005, the model is tested using historical data to predict recent conditions, and is then used to forecast the future distribution of land use decades into the future. We also use the cell-level data set to estimate the fraction of regional land use devoted to transportation facilities, including major highways, airports, and railways. The paper concludes with some comments on the strengths and weaknesses of Markov chains as a land use modeling framework, and suggests some possible extensions of the model. (Working Paper)
- Levinson, David, Michael Corbett, and Maryam Hashami (2005) Operating Costs for Trucks. This study estimates the operating costs for commercial vehicle operators in Minnesota. A survey of firms that undertake commercial truck road movements was performed. The average operating cost per kilometer for commercial vehicle operators was calculated from the survey responses. Results show that the translog and Cobb-Douglas models have approximately equal explanatory power in estimating the total cost from the data. The models also revealed the presence of nearly constant returns to scale, a finding consistent with earlier studies; an increase in output (total truckloads) of 1% increases total costs by 1.04%. (Working Paper).
- Levinson, David and Bhanu Yerra (2005) How Land Use Shapes the Evolution of Road Networks. The present research develops an agent-based model to treat the organization, growth, and contraction of network elements. The components model travel demand, revenue, cost, and investment. Revenue earned by links in excess of maintenance costs is invested on the link to until all revenue is consumed. After upgrading (or downgrading) each link in the network, the time period is incremented and the whole process is repeated until an equilibrium is reached or it is clear that it cannot be achieved. The model is tested with three alternative land use patterns: uniform, random, and bell-shaped, to test the effects of land use on resulting network patterns. It is found that similar, but not identical, equilibrium hierarchical networks result in all cases, with the bell-shaped network, with a CBD, having higher level roads concentrated in a belt around the CBD, while the other networks are less concentrated. (Working Paper).

"In the misty mountains near Mekong and Laos" Loei by lucy60
Loei Travel Guide: 43 reviews and 142 photos
This is my second visit to Loei, a small and sleepy town, fascinating for me. You may go there by bus, car or plane. I arrived by car. So, even if the town has not so much to see, I must drive and visit place at a short distance on my own. Not so many torists came here, but I recomend because is very fine and quiet. From here you can't cross to Laos.
- Pros:A good point to visit the northern Mekong Route
- Cons:No good for people that love nightlife entertenaiment
