Matrix Algebra vs Element by Element Algebra The Mat in Matlab stands for matrix. The fundamental design was created to do matrix algebra easily and efficiently. Perhaps unfortunately, this means that the shortcuts we use to do normal algebra are a bit more complicated. Let's do both types of algebra in this assignment by starting with the solution to simultaneous equations that you did using a spreadsheet and then going into the shortcut algebra used for normal equations. Electric Circuit: Solutions to Simultaneous Equations For the circuit shown find the current flowing in each branch. All R1 R2 potential differences in volts and resistances in ohms. V1 15 R1 4 r1 2 r1 r3 r2 I3 V2 6 R2 3 r2 2 I2 V3 4 r3 1 I1 V1 V3 V2 Kirchoff's laws Look at a junction and get: I1 I3 I2 Now examine the left and right loops: 15 2I1 4I1 1I3 4 0 , 4 1I3 3I2 6 2I2 0 . This gives us a set of three equations that we can put in standard form with a number multiplying each of the currents and the constants on the other side of the equal sign. 1I 1 1I 2 1I 3 0 6 I 1 0 I 2 1I 3 11 0 I 1 5I 2 1I 3 10 Solving a set of simultaneous equations These are now in the standard form for simultaneous equations: 1 1 1 I1 0 M C V 6 0 1 I2 11 where M is the matrix of the current coefficients, 10 0 5 1 I3 C is the vector of the currents and V is the vector of the potentials. We can solve for C by finding the inverse of M and then multiplying from the left, M 1 M C M 1V C M 1V . Page 1 Matrices and Matrix Algebra Let's solve the matrix equation: C= M-1V using Matlab. To enter a matrix in Matlab, we'll just make a 3 by 3 matrix: M = [ 1 -1 1; -6 0 1; 0 -5 -1] The semicolons inside the brackets make new rows in the matrix. We also need a column vector for the voltages. V = [ 0; -11; -10] And that's all the input data. Now let's do some algebra. To invert the matrix call M^-1 % invert the matrix To solve for the currents we need to calculate M-1V. C = M^-1*V This is far easier in Matlab than in Excel. Check that this is the same answer that you got using a spreadsheet. Assignment: M1_Simul 1. Here's the same assignment you did in a Spreadsheet. For the circuit shown find -the current flowing in R1, R2, and R3, R3 V2 - the power dissipated in each of the batteries. All potential differences are in volts and R2 resistances are in ohms. R1 V1 12 R1 20 V1 V2 9 R2 40 R3 30 2. Matlab has a powerful set of tools available for matrices. For the matrix given for the first circuit above, show that M-1M is the identity matrix. Use the "det" function to find the determinant of the matrix M. Page 2 Multiply M by its transpose. M' is the transpose of M. What is the transpose of V? How does it differ from V? Reminder…. Please include Analysis, Tests, and Results in your write up. Assignment: M1_VectorProd Another important thing to try is the dot product of two vectors, x x x . First you'll 2 need some x values, so make an array: x = 1:0.5:10. If we "square" x, you'll see that xSquared = x*x and xSquared = x^2 both fail because x 2 x1 x2 x3 * x1 x2 x3 isn't defined in linear algebra. To get the dot product, the second vector has to be a column vector. x1 x 2 x1 x 2 x3 * x 2 x 3 Try taking the transpose of x to make x into a column vector. Put a print out of this in your report. Then try multiplying x by its transpose. What is the value of x2? What is the magnitude of | x | x x ? Element by Element Algebra Most of the time we're going to use matrices in a different way. You've already seen that we can plot functions using plot(x,y) where x is an array of numbers and y is an array of numbers. We can also use arrays as a shortcut in functions like y x 2 and y 1 / x . Here, we don't want to find the magnitude of the vector x, by taking its square. Nor do we want to find the inverse of the vector x. To see what we're trying to do we need some x values: x = 1:0.5:10 If I want a normal function of x2 then what I want to calculate is xn2 . Each element of x needs to be squared. Matlab does this by adding a period before the *, like ".*" or a period before the carrot, ".^". y = x.*x y = x.^2 To divide, it's the same thing; add a dot. So, y 1 / x is calculated for each element. y = 1./x Take a look at the plots: Page 3 plot(x, x.*x) % element by element multiplication plot(x, x.^2) % element by element powers plot(x, 1./x) % element by element division Now, that's all there is to doing the hard stuff. There are a couple things that don't require dots, namely addition z x y and multiplying or dividing by constants z 2 * x / 35 . plot(x, x+y) % matrix addition is element by element plot(x, 2*x/35) % matrix mult/div by a const. This can be pretty tricky and you will generate lots of error messages due to missing periods while using Matlab. Therefore, this assignment using the shortcut algebra is perhaps the most important assignment for Matlab. Assignment: M1_ElementAlg Plot the function, f (t ) (t 1) /(t 1) on the range -5<t<5 using 20 steps in t. Plot the intensity, I ( ) cos 2 ( ) on the range 0<<2using 20 steps in . Plot a Gaussian, G( x) e ( x ^ 2) / on the range -5<x<5 using 20 steps in x. Let = 10. Don't forget…. Please include Analysis, Tests, and Results in your write up. Page 4

What brush to use with Ace Cabinet paint???
I'm just getting started with these forums...so much great info! I need a bit of help with paint brushes. I have started to paint all of the ugly 1980's golden oak trim, doors, built-ins, etc in my home with the Ace Cabinet Door and Trim paint. I really like it, but I'm having issues with visable brush strokes. The paint manager at my local Ace suggested the Wooster nylon/poly blend brush. I bought one, but I'm not liking it. I would love any assistance/advice on the best brush to use with the Ace paint. Faron, if you're out there, can you help? You seem to be the expert when it comes to the Ace paint.
Thanks :)
Hello Brystersmom!
Wooster (as does everyone!) has a lot of those bristle-blends. Which exact brush-series did'ja get?
If you were here in Fargo (!), I would've suggested the newer Purdy Chinex, or a Corona (harder to find...) Chinex.
* The Purdy Chinex's are in the ACE warehouse system now, as of summer '09. Avg retail ~ $12-$20 ea., depending on size.
* A very good 2nd choice would be the Purdy XL-Cub. This is a popular brush here! It has a "stubby" wood handle, enabling easy movement in tight areas. We get lots of good feedback on these!
Re the "brushstrokes".
* Often impossible to TOTALLY eliminate, but...some hints include...
* Paint in a cool area.
* Use loooonnnnggg smooth stokes...don't "dust" with your brush.
* The fewer the strokes...the better!
* Don't brush same area past 1 minute...Literally.
* Don't apply too thick, or too thin.
* Once applied evenly...with minimal strokes...LEAVE IT ALONE. DO NOT go back into it even 2 minutes later.
* If necessary, wait 24 hrs. if sanding is needed b4 2nd coat.....wellll, ya gotta wait 24 hrs. between coats anyway!
* Apply 2nd coat same way.
* On vertical elements, like Vanities, doors on-hinge, etc., 3 lighter coats often works well (eliminates odds of sagging).
>>> Be aware...full cure/hardening often takes a MONTH or so, b4 heavy items should go back on. Could even be longer if color is dark.
Hope this helps...
Thanks for the quick response! The brush I currently have is the Wooster Ultra/Pro Lindbeck 2 1/2" angle brush. So, it seems that my best bet is a chinex brush??? I don't remember seeing any Corona brushes at my local Ace. I like the idea of the Purdy Cub with the short handle as I do have several places on my built-ins where that would come in very handy. If my Ace doesn't have the Chinex brushes, will any brand's chinex brush be alright?
I really do like the paint...and my wood trim looks 100 times better than the ugly golden oak even with the faint brush strokes.
Thanks again for your help!
Karen :)
Faron, that's a really helpful post.
You should start "clipping this post" for posts like this one that is choc-full of good information and/or discussion. The "clippings" tabbies are in the upper right-hand corner and they are darn handy.
That way all your posts will be "clipped" in on place so they can easily be found all together.
Fun-C & Karen...
Thanks for your kind notes!
The Lindbeck should be a good brush. When you're in the "good/very good brush" category, results depend more on the paint used...AND......good technique/prep for the conditions.
Other painters have their faves. Hopefully we'll get a well-rounded opinion here....instead of just ME babbling-away...;-)
I've never used the clippings. Now I've gotta try it!!
Your thoughts/practices on color-use, etc., blow me away most of the time!
I think EVERY post of yours may end up in MY clippings!!!
Every post?! I've been saying the same things over and over for the last five or so years. All ya have to do is wait a minute and it all comes back up again. I'm kind of like gastric reflux. âº
I clip my own posts because I don't remember exactly what I said and/or in what post I said it. And every now and again someone will email me to ask me a question or for more explanation of something I talked about. It never fails that I can't find the post they're emailing about and I have to review it in order to answer them coherently -- because rarely do I remember all the gory details.
The search option here is weird and not all that helpful so I started clipping the posts that I think most people "get" as well as the much appreciated nice words that occasionally get tossed my way.
I think you can only save 50 posts at a time so you might want to be choosy.
Oh my stars, Christy Moore, you are my new best friend. People have tossed many a comment my way (some good, some not so good) but the Mark Zuckerberg thing might be my favorite. lol! Thank you for the kind words!
I do have a website. It's kind of lame but it is what is at the moment. Also have a blog with podcasts. Launching end of this month I will be doing quarterly Color Outlook podcasts with a team of five top color experts in different locales across the U.S. - Garden Web's own AMYSRQ is on this Color Outlook team too.
And, of course, I'm on Twitter, FaceBook and I also admin a free forum on LinkedIN called Color & Paint Professionals.
Never a dull moment. :)
So Faron, I've primed my cabinet box tonight and will hopefully be able to start using my Ace Cabinet & Trim paint tomorrow (for the first time not on a sample board!). I thought I'd try the roll-it-on & brush-it-out technique.
I ordered a 2.5in Purdy Chinex because I remembered you or someone else on paint talk recommending it, but I gotta admit, it's a little unwieldy. I have big hands for a woman, and I still find the handle a little awkward (all the Purdy handles got bigger lately). Any chance my Wooster Shortcut can handle the job? I'll probably give the Chinex brush a shot since I special ordered it, but the Shortcut is easier to handle and has softer bristles. I'll have to see if we can get in a Purdy Cub.
Don't use the Shortcut on this!
Handy little brush, yes...but not up to the finish level of the better Cubs & Chinex's.
Yep-one of the Cubs would be good as well.
You may have one of the "Full" handles. Purdy also has a "Rat-tail" handle. It's flatter and smaller. These are the "Dale" models I believe.
I know we have Dales & at least one other type of Purdys, but it seems like all the recently received brushes have fatter handles. I'll just have to get used to it, I guess...or double check what's in the warehouse & put off painting til Tuesday. Thanks, Faron!
Jessicaml & everyone!...
Note on this Purdy page the different handle-styles.
(link below)
* The Purdy XL-Series "Glide" has the fuller handle, or "Fluted"...using their lingo.
* The XL-Series "Dale" has the smaller/flatter "Rattail" handle. For detail-type work, these are the most popular.
* The shorter-handled XL-Cubs have another style...
This is actually a pretty neat site!
A novice painter can pick up good info. by looking thru all the Purdy stuff, and reading their descriptions.
Here is a link that might be useful: Purdy-brush catalogue...
Was linking that on another forum.
Here is a link that might be useful: OK....THIS is the Purdy XL-series page!!
To anyone who can answer...
I'm almost there.
~I've finally found the white I want.
BM Linen White without the "R" tint.
~I've picked the primer.
Fresh Start Oil.
~Got the brush.
Corona Chinex.
NOW , Jessica mentioned the roll on and brush finish.
I don't think I'm fast enough for that method.
I was going to just brush it all (27 cabs. and 13 drawers). But if I was to attempt to roll first should it be a foam roller ?
I just don't get the foam roller.
Never liked them.
Is it just me ?
Maybe I'm not loading it well.
I never read much about rollers here..
Maybe because unlike the color white or brushes there's not hundreds to choose from.. :)
forboystoo - Still putting off my painting, hopefully get to it Wednesday, but the idea behind the roll & brush technique is to quickly apply the paint (thus the roller) but brushing so the roller won't leave an orange peel finish. In theory, it's fast. In practice...we'll see!
As for foam rollers...supposedly better quality foam produces better results. I have a Whizz roller I ordered through my Ace because I was contemplating painting my countertops, and that's the brand of roller that was recommended for the Rustoleum countertop paint. I think rollers get discussed less because while there is a difference in quality, it's a less pronounced difference from a good roller to a bad roller than from a $2 brush and a $20 brush.
Whenever I get around to finishing my paint project, I'll let you know how it worked out!
Zounds...Oh no!! I was only talkin' full-size 9" sleeves there! I should'a stated that...Crikey!
For the smaller-roller market>>>
YES....the Whizz brand stuff is very good. I love the handles too on their frames. Covers themselves are super.
I've got the small Wooster "Flip-Frame". That's a handy articulating frame!
(did I REALLY just say "Zounds" further back....??!?)

How to help my lemon tree? over/under watered??
I have just returned from a 10 day vacation to find that my previously healthy lemon tree is doing very poorly; the leaves are all pale and droopy, and the few fruit growths are tiny, as if they were dwarfed lemons. it has grown some flowers but even they fall off without blossoming.
This year it has rained VERY heavily, more than usual, and my guess is the tree has suffered from the excess (it is potted). The weather over the past few days has become very warm, almost summer like. The soil is fairly humid but not soaking.
How would I go about drying out the soil? Should I fertilize the tree (which would require watering it)? If so, should I make the earth more or less acidic?
I live in Morocco so we don't have any of the specialized products available in the US : I DO have some special citrus fertilizer, but to alter the soil PH I would need to use vinegar or equivalent. Home stuff.
Any ideas on how to save it? It's an otherwise lovely tree....
thank you
How big is your tree? How big is the pot?
Drooping leaves is a sign of lack of water reaching the leaves. This can be due to dry soil, or root damage which can be caused by overwatering. So you have to work out which it is.
Are you absolutely sure that the soil is damp throughout? Sometimes a full leaf canopy prevents much rain reaching the soil surface, even after heavy rain. So the top layer may be damp but the rest bone dry. It can be difficult to wet certain dry soils - water just flows through without wetting. Dig down a bit to check. This is easy to remedy - just stand pot in water for several hours.
If the problem is root-rot due to overwatering you have a worse problem. You could try re-potting in drier free-draining compost while cutting off any rotten roots. The leaf canopy should be reduced at the same time by pruning as the damaged roots can't support so much. You could try treating soil with the French fungicide Aliete. And prevent further water reaching the surface until it dries. Or you could just hope it improves as summer approaches.
Fertilising won't do any good until you have sorted the drooping leaves.
Also check for any root-eating pests.

Pretty bad when I walk downstairs and see my DS using the paddle to pet the dogs with. He was giving them a massage
My mom came over to visit unexpectedly not too long ago, and as she's sitting primly on the edge of the couch, attempting not to actually touch any of the crap scattered around her, DD comes wandering out from behind the sofa with my hot pink gspot vibe in her hand.

I MUST clean this house. I have no idea when or how or why my vibe ended up behind the sofa. It has been missing for a while, tho.

The Wauwatosa Fire Department will lose a fire prevention lieutenant and has reorganized its supervisory structure as part of its effort to reduce its budget by 3.7 percent for 2014, representing a savings of $488,104 over what it is expected to spend in the current year.
The elimination of the fire prevention officer will reduce the frequency of fire inspections to non-residential structures from two times a year to once a year, according to the department's budget statement.
The reorganization reduces the number of lieutenant positions by three, and reduces the number of captains from nine to six.
Innovative collaborations
The Fire Department won praise from members of the Budget Committee for its innovative collaborations with other departments to save money.
The department for the third year held a joint training academy with the North Shore Fire Department, which allows the departments to share instructors and work together. Fire Chief Rob Ugaste said 22 students have gone through this process.
It also shares its repair shop, mechanics and reserve apparatus with the North Shore department, and two years ago joined in the creation of a 22-unit purchasing consortium that has yielded significant savings, Ugaste said. This includes, for example, savings of $300 per set in turnout gear, which is the clothing firefighters wear in responding to a fire. The larger departments of Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay also have or will become participants, he said.
The department has entered into a joint coverage agreement on structure fires with the city of Milwaukee, ending a system under which the departments didn't cross the border, Ugaste said. West Allis, Greenfield and North Shore also are working with Milwaukee.
Ugaste is working on an agreement with neighboring fire departments to help pay for maintenance of the Wauwatosa training facility, which they also use. The facility includes a tower, and is located off Walnut Road, west of Mayfair Road. North Shore and Brookfield fire departments have agreed to share in the upkeep, Ugaste said.
A $5,000 annual fee would be charged to departments that use the facility, Ugaste said, with the city matching that fee. Just last year, $40,000 was spent on repairs, and this year $3,600 was paid by the city for an inspection to certify the training tower.
The cost of savings
Ugaste said that the department has lost 12 sworn positions since 2004, including the elimination of the fire prevention lieutenant, with 10 of the positions being lost in the last four years.
As a result of reductions, one ambulance is no longer staffed, and Fire Station No. 2, on the city's north end, now only has one engine and one med unit.
"The dedicated positions of training officer and fire marshal no longer exist. The purchase of dispatch software that would significantly expedite call processing in the dispatch center had to be delayed. Every effort has been made to find efficiencies and create revenue, but to be honest, we're running out of options," Ugaste said.
Ugaste noted that the department itself generates $3 million in revenue, which constitutes more than 23 percent of its annual budget.

|Bio Alcamid/Sculptra/or other
Mar 17, 2005
Thanks very much for your response on "changing meds/facial wasting". We (my partner and I) have decided to wait on any changes as the dizziness and fatigue are managable. However, I'd like to get a very direct answer to what product is the current best recommondation for wasting, Bio Alcamid or Sculptra? As I understand it, Bio Alcamid has been used in Europe (Mexico) for about 6 years (longer for other purposes) with limited side affects, correct? It basicly fills the sunkin area with a water based silicon suspention that, after some time, the body forms a layer around. Largest concern being mirgration? How much of a concern is mirgration? Sculptra actually thickens the skin from 2 mm to about 10-12mm, with it's own possible side affects. Again, cost is not an issue, if I need to take my partner to Amsterdam for Bio Alcamid, no problem. Please give a recommondation and logic for same. And of course, thanks so much of this forum and your expert responses. Jeffrey...
| Response from Dr. Conway
Both products, in the right hands, produce excellent results. it is much more important to focus on WHO will do the procedure than what product will be used. Pick a surgeon who is experienced, and make sure you see pictures of the results that have been generated on patients similar to your partner. Make sure you see both short and long-term results and ask about the type of complications that have been experienced and how they were addressed.

The popular rating agency Standard & Poor's has downgraded the U.S. credit rating. This is ironic since the S&P's idotic ratings for the toxic mortgage assets helped get us into this trouble in the first place. That, said, they decided to downgrade us for our dysfunctional debt ceiling fights. I can't say I blame them for that.

The industry security clearance process has had problems almost from the time it started. There is a perpetual backlog of applications, which has driven up costs to both industry and government agencies.
The story took a dramatic turn on April 28 when the Defense Department announced that it would not conduct additional security clearances because the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office has, essentially, run out of money for such actions. Curiously, that announcement came late on a Friday afternoon with little warning.
It was just the latest and most visible indication that the program is troubled. Vendors have been paying a high premium for people with security clearances, and those high costs have to be passed along to agencies.
It is essential to remember that vendors are seeking these clearances because they are trying to address agency security needs and concerns. And these clearances are probably very important given the natural concerns the government has about security and given that more and more work is being done by contractors.
Even DOD officials acknowledge that the program has had difficulties. Robert Rogalski, special assistant to the undersecretary of Defense for intelligence, testified last week before the House Government Reform Committee that the Defense Security Service had submitted 100,000 requests to the Office of Personnel Management for industry investigations before they were halted.
"Based on current projections, we anticipate submitting an additional 100,000 industry investigations" this fiscal year, he said.
Rogalski all but said the program has been mismanaged, and he said senior leadership is now focused on fixing the problem.
But there must be a wholesale look at how the program works. Industry officials noted that these applications are largely processed the same way they were when Dwight Eisenhower was president. And there are some simple fixes. Currently, applicants can submit their applications electronically, but they cannot submit their fingerprints or signatures electronically.
If this program is important — and we believe it is — it is time to look at fixing its problems once and for all.

My One Night Out of Two in Santa RosaPosted Nov 17, 2014
Pros: See above
Cons: Move the hotel somewhere else.
Location: See above
The room was beautiful, great decor. Bed was super comfy. The neighborhood in which the hotel is located is not great. Very noisy crowd at the two bars that flank the hotel. It didn't quiet down until 3:00 am. For that reason and others, I changed my reservation and did not stay the second night. Really tragic because the location is so close to downtown and a great midway point in the metro area. I strongly doubt I would stay here again. Perhaps during the week when the drunks would (hopefully) be fewer in number.

Surprisingly great!Posted Oct 5, 2014
Pros: Very clean and modern.
Cons: Parking
Location: Not the best location in the "downtown". They ran out of parking so I had to park across the street at a diner. Was kinda nervous leaving my car there
Looks interesting from the outside...once you get in the room, beautiful. Modern and very clean. Espresso machine in room was awesome to wake up to.

Great hotel near Downtown Santa Rosa, CAPosted Sep 11, 2014
Pros: Everything!
Cons: Stronger water pressure in the shower.
The hotel was great. It was like a **** 4 star hotel with wonderful amenities. The entire hotel was recently remodeled and they choose high end materials such as lime stone for the shower walls. The room even came with an expresso machine and mini fridge. The mini fridge was hidden away in a cabinet next to the built in dresser and working desk. The king size bed was very comfortable. The new A/C unit worked great and kept my room at a very comfortable 68 degrees during a hot summer day.

Very worth the money. Quick walk to downtown. Chose due to proximity to Russian River Brewery. It was a bit loud in the room as it is on a busy road so traffic noise could be heard but it didn't keep any of us awake! Plan on staying there again next year for my annual trip to Santa Rosa!

POORPosted Oct 24, 2011 on Hotels.com
We were desperate. Other hotels had no vacancies and/or were too expensive. Poor exterior condition, worn & chipped paint. No clock. TV with lots of Spanish channels. Metal kleenex holder came out of wall when kleenex was taken. Lots of foot traffic & noise into wee hours of the night. Drapes were shredding at bottom hemline. Dresser drawer was broken, facing off, pushed or kicked in? Front desk closed at night. Sign posted to ring bell at side window for assistance. In all fairness, front desk staff was nice to us.

This Hotel was horrible!! dog hair floating in the swimming pool. waited at the front desk for 30 min when they were not busy.. my reservation was changed from 2 double queen beds in a room to 1 king bed in a room I had reserved 2 rooms for 8 people. the rooms were not ready for check in when I arrived yet the women give us our keys to our room so we had to sit outside while they made the beds. oh and when i checked out i was charged for extra people because the rooms were only for 2 people instead of 4. not happy at all with the service or the hotel.. it was gross..

Decent place at a reasonable pricePosted Sep 15, 2011 on Hotels.com
This is decent place to stay at a reasonable price. The elevator wasn't working, so we had to walk up to the third floor, but otherwise ok. It was relativly quiet, no loud neighbors. Renovation is still not complete. If you don't want to spend a lot of money on a room this is the place to stay.

Gregerson likely to unseat Marine as Mukilteo mayor
City Councilwoman Jennifer Gregerson held a strong lead over Marine in Tuesday's returns, 1,614 votes to 1,298 -- roughly 55 percent to 44 percent.
Marine, 51, has served as mayor the past eight years. Gregerson, 35, has served on the council for 10 years.
"I haven't talked to Joe yet but I think it's a pretty strong result," Gregerson said Tuesday night from a party at Amici Bistro.
"We knocked on a lot of doors and talked to a lot of people and gave the voters a clear choice and I'm excited to go to work for Mukilteo."
Marine wasn't ready to concede Tuesday night, but acknowledged the trend didn't look good.
"I think I worked about as hard as I could as mayor for eight years and I'm proud of what we accomplished, and if the citizens want to move on, I understand that," he said.
Marine said in the last election for city offices two years ago, about 6,000 votes were cast. If that holds true this time, roughly half the votes remain to be counted. The next set of returns is scheduled to be counted at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
The results from the remaining votes would have to mirror-image Tuesday's returns in favor of Marine for him to have a chance.
Gregerson outraised and outspent Marine. She pulled in more than $20,000 compared to just under $15,000 for Marine as of late October, according to state public disclosure reports.
She spent more than $18,000 on her campaign, compared to roughly $10,000 for Marine.
Gregerson gathered money and endorsements from labor and Democrats, including a $900 donation from the 21st District Democratic Party and a $500 donation from the Mukilteo firefighter union, records show.
Gregerson's campaign sent out three placard mailings in recent weeks and made several automated "robocalls" to voters. The calls and mailings included pledges to keep taxes down.
Marine, by contrast, sent only one mailing and didn't do the calls.
"She's a Democrat machine. I'm a non-partisan mayor," he said. Marine served as a Republican appointee in the Legislature in 2001 and unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2002, also as a member of the GOP.
Marine said labor groups sent mailings claiming he supported red-light cameras and a road in Japanese Gulch.
"I didn't send out any hit pieces on her. I wasn't going to go there," he said. "I expected my record would stand on its own. We accomplished a lot of great things in Mukilteo."
Gregerson acknowledged she outspent the mayor but said that wasn't the only reason for her strong showing.
"We had a big volunteer effort. We talked to a lot of people on the doorstep and a lot of people on the phone and I'm really proud of all my volunteers and their hard work. We really targeted and worked hard for this."

Age and gender. The number of men affected by heart disease increases with age after age 45. Heart disease in women increases after age 55.
Smoker. Quitting smoking may be the most important step you can take to reduce your risk factors for heart disease.
Systolic blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure is the first number of your blood pressure reading. For example, if your reading is 120/80 (120 over 80), your systolic blood pressure is 120.
Blood pressure medicine. Medicines used to treat high blood pressure include diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and direct renin inhibitors.
HDL cholesterol. HDL, or high-density lipoprotein, is the "good" cholesterol because it helps prevent cholesterol from building up in your arteries. The higher your HDL, the better. An HDL of less than 40 mg/dL (in men) or less than 50 mg/dL (for women) is a major risk factor for heart disease.

latest baby blanket and hat for preemies
Here is the latest preemie blanket and hat I crocheted for the hospital.. made out of left over yarn...
Nice work. And I think that is a very nice color combination.
we had preemie grandsons they were born 3 months early, we lost one after only 18 days but the other one made it..and will be 16 years old this April, I can remember how hard it was to find tiny items for the babies in the hospital.. I would go to visit and the babies are so tiny, so I made up my mind I would make items for them..I know some do not make it and the parents are stressed enough ,not to have to worry about what to put on the little ones.. so I make tiny white blankets and hats and demise blankets also.. but I also make the bright ones for the ones who do make it.. blues, yellows and pinks and greens all the bright colors.. our little guy who made it was in the hospital for almost 3 months.. so I leaned really fast how much they all need..
The hat and blanket is just precious. I love the color combination. Is there a pattern for the blanket??
I'm a member of an organization that makes hats for preemies, I'd like to introduce the idea of colorful hats and blankets, I think the families would be so grateful.
Very nice, and the hat is adorable.
Recently my DS and DIL lost their baby, stillborn at 7 months. Baby was wrapped in a little blue knit blanket and was dressed in a blue hat. When DS and DIL showed them to me, I was overcome with emotion because I knew someone like you fine ladies had knit them for people like my DS and DIL. It meant a lot to them, and they left the hospital not with a baby but not empty-handed either. They have the keepsake blanket and hat. Thank you so much for the good work you do. You probably don't get many direct thank you's, but please know your work is so meaningful.
socks, I am so sorry for you and your son and DIL's loss, and as a grandmother, like you.. I know how you feel.. I think the loss of my sweet little baby was one of the hardest things I had to go thru..and this is my way of giving back to all the folks at the hospital that gave so much to me and the family not only with the loss of our grandson, but for taking such good care of the twin who made it.. wow going to be 16 this april.. He and I share a lot together.. we go to his brother's grave site and put toys, flowers, wreaths, crosses and bunnies, angels..what ever we can find that we think he would like.. It just brings us closer together and keeps him always in our hearts. At Christmas we make Christmas swags for all the little ones at the grave site where Conner is.. and it helps us to give something to those who have lost their little ones too.. I think with sharing in this way.. my grandson does not feel guilty that he made it and his little twin did not.. because for a few years, he kept asking me why he did and his twin did not.. Now he can accept it.. he has a purpose on this earth.. God Bless you and your Family..
orchidann, the little blankets do not take much yarn and with preemies, some blankets are just too big to wrap around them.. they are so tiny.. this blanket is just the right size. and good to take baby home in also. you can also make little fleece blankets too.. 1 yard would make two blankets .. not to thick , but just right to use on a stroller, or in their bed ..
this is a fleece blanket I made for a sweet little baby who had a lot of problems when she was born.. many surgeries.. she is doing better now ,however; still needs more surgeries.. so I just thought it would cheer her up.. I know this is a crochet and knitting forum , but though some of you might like to see what you can make for not much money,
Orchidann, you can find premie patterns at the link below. There are knit, crochet and sewing patterns, with the sizes needed in measurements, also. I have no association with the site, but have used some of the patterns.
Here is a link that might be useful: premie patterns
Orchidann, I will check and see what pattern I used.. I think it was just a baby ripple pattern but Iused a small hook..like an F size.. I will measure and let you know for sure what the size is. there is also a hat pattern I will get that for you too.. it is really easy.
there are several premie sites. I like the ripple or the shell patterns.. just seems to give the blanket a little more structure..
Huggy and Tami sincere thanks to both of you, for directing me to marvelous, resources for preemies. I'm getting started today on a cap(s), I'll be adding a blanket for each cap, just can resist
Tami I am also in Ohio NW, just outside Toledo
Socks 12345 it never dawned on me that the cap and blanket would be a keepsake who experienced the loss of a baby.
Loads of thanks again.
Hope you all continue to post your beautiful work.
Hey gang, I am in Northern Kentucky and I take mine to Univeral Hospital and Childrens Hospital.. My twin grandson who did not make it.. mother has everything he had ever used.. from lambswool type under blanket to all his little tags etc.. we did not get to get a hospital photo of him cause he was to sick to take photos.. but they did take one of him after he passed away which of course was just not something you would want.. however; we do have them and I took one to the photo shop in Cincinnati and asked him to see what he could do with it to make it look better.. costed me a ton, and it was done very poorly.. so I worked with it on Photoshop and Paint and was able to get a much better one for his twin brother to have...he has it on his dresser at home.. The hospitals also go thru a lot of receiving blankets and I have been making them latley out of single layer of fleece and using a scalloped edge rotor cutter to do the edges instead of the tying fringe.. much easier for the hospital to use in the wards. here is a picture of one.
and here is one I made for the premies...
the solid color ones only cost me $1.50 to make and the printed ones about $2.50 to make
Bless you all! Orchidann, which direction out of Toledo? Maybe sometime we could meet half way for lunch!
Huggy those blankets are beautiful. I will have to ask if our hospital will take them. They would be quick for me to make. Our knitting group, and several others in the area, make hats and mittens for our ER to give to kids and some adults who come in with out any for the winter. We also dress teddy bears for the kids who have to have traumatic procedures done or are going thru a traumatic time in the ER. And make blankets for a childrens emergency shelter.
Tami, you can make two receiving blanket out of 1 yard of fleece.. they had fleece on sale at Hancocks Fabrics the other day for $2.99 a yard so I bought up several yards. was going to make the tie blankets..but thought the receiving blankets would be better for the premies and the little babies.. I also watch for on line auctions for good buys in coats and items that I think shelters could use.. some are sorta outdated.. but when a person is cold and the coat is free they do not care where it came from and just how old it is.. some of the auctions they sell the entire closets full and at times can pick the entire contents for a couple of bucks..
And Tami, I just have a regular Brother sewing machine nothing fancy..but it does have some pretty stitches on it and that is what I used around the edge of the little blankets. and the scalloped edge rotor cutter.. makes for an easy quick blanket and nothing to get in the way of iv's and things that the little ones usually have. and also they make a nice little gift to send the baby home with.
Thanks suebdoo, and all, but it just giving back.. what good is it if you have it and can't give it back.. you know what I mean.. I feel so lucky that we have one of the twins,and he I might add will be 16 years old this April.. that I just want to say Thanks to all that helped us in time of need and I just want to help those who are where we were 16 years ago.. and since I am not a doctor.. LOL I do the thing I know how to do best.. and that is giving what ever I can.. I always hope by sharing that it inspires others to do the same and with this wonderful group of people.. I think it has.. there is always need somewhere in this world and we can all do our share.. even if it is giving someone a smile to brighten up their day..
socks, fleece is normally 60"wide.. so if you get a yard..which is 36" it would be 36 x60 and if you cut that in half.. it would be right around 30 x 36 mine end up being about 34 x 35 give or take a few inches.. I had an older rotter cutter but my newer one is a olfa.. and they have several different blades to use.. they have a wave, a pinking , and a scallop.. they may have more but those are the ones that I have seen.. and it does make sense to use them or pinking shears and not make the ties as the ties take up a lot of space and the preemie wards doe not need the extra fancy ties .. they just get in the way.. now if you just want to make going home blankets then the ties are fine.. now the crochet blanket that has the little hat is right around 27 X 24 just the right size for a preemie.. If you work for a group and make the blankets you may be able to get a tax free discount.. but you would have to have your group's tax exempt number..and most of the fabric stores will honor those numbers..Me I just make them on my own not group.. just to help me feel good too.. if you know what I mean.. My only thing is I only have so much time and so much money can only do so much.. wish I could do more.. but I will do what I can with what I have.. and hope others feel the same.. the babies and the older folks always get to me.. I guess I am just an old soft hearted granny who loves kids and older folks.. but I care about the young ones too who are stuggling to make ends meet..
we all need help sometime or other .. this is my time to share with others..
Very helpful info. I didn't know fleece was 60". Thanks. I'll take a look at the fabric and blades next time I go.
I called our local hospital today, and they said there is no organized group, but the sizes they want are 32x28 or 30x30. They didn't mention any little premie blankets. So I'll see what I can do when I finish up the odds and ends I'm working on now.
You're a very kind person. There's no telling how many people have been touched by your efforts.
All of you make me smile .... see you all have already joined the folks that care.. Thanks and I am sure those that receive your items and your smiles will always remember them and your kindness. All the babies say..
orch, here is the pattern I used for the crocheted preemie blanket, and I used a size F hook.. just worked the colors the way I wanted them.. you can do the same.. and I surely can not remember where I put the hat pattern , but I will find it. I did not put any fringe on the baby blanket..and I just used yarn that I had gotten from Wal-Mart a little while back and this was left over from that project.. you could use any color combination that you wanted.. I think even lite green and yellow would be pretty.. or pink and white. pink and green also.. or just all white and edge with what ever color you wanted.

Each repeat = 5 inches (13 cm) wide; 4 inches [10 cm] high. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

My son was not a preemie, but he had cancer when he was a baby. Wonderful people like you made blankets for all the kids in the pediatric oncology ward. My Sam is a nearly 11 year old healthy, happy, basketball super star and he still sleeps with that blanket. A picture of him sitting in a wagon with an IV tube trailing into his port and that blanket wrapped around him was posted in a newsletter for the families of the sick children that year. I know you didn't crochet that blanket for him (or maybe you did??? ;o), but as the mother of a child who was gifted with one, thank you. We will treasure it always.
rmlanza, I am so happy to hear about your wonderful son.. and to hear that his blanket meant so much to him.. and that he is doing so well.. God works in strange ways..and you are so blessed... It is so wonderful to hear that you as well as he treasure his gift that someone made for him with love and their heart.. always treasures the fact that someone cared enough to want to share what they had with you and your awesome son...Tonight when he goes to bed.. give him a hug from me.. just to let him know we are out there , and we do care about all the children, and we are trying to help as many as we can.. one day at a time.. I know you are as proud of your son as I am of my wonderful grandson who will be oh my don't tell him I said this .. "SWEET SIXTEEN" but he is without a doubt the sweetest and kindness young man I know.. but then I am his granny.. LOL God love you all
I finally found the pattern for the preemie hat that I crocheted in yellow with blue accent. you can use any color combination you want.. I used a size "F" hook and regular yarn. This tiny hat does not take much yarn..
