The House
Casa Escondida is a sustainably built jungle bungalow located one mile from world famous surf at Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica. Casa Escondida has two master suites, a full kitchen, a spacious porch overlooking the back yard, hot water, dining room, living room, utility closet with a washing machine, outside shower, and wireless high speed internet. Both master suites have one double bed, closet and a bathroom with a large shower. The house was designed with large overhangs to provide lots of shade and capture the breeze coming down from the mountains, which keeps the house cool. Casa Escondida sleeps four comfortably and also has two plush air mattresses if you need more space.
The Landscape
Casa Escondida, which means "hidden house" in Spanish, is surrounded by a garden of tropical flowers, citrus trees, papaya trees, pineapple bushes and numerous other exotic tropical plants. Floor to ceiling windows and doors allow you to experience Costa Rica's finest flora and fauna and hear the murmur of the nearby stream. Take a stroll through the ½ acre grounds, and encounter lizards and leaf cutter ants and keep your ears open for the distinctive call of the Scarlet Macaw. While you're walking around take a minute to smell the flowers and take in the wonder of our tropical garden. If you are feeling adventurous, you can walk through the neighboring teak farm and see the 100 meter waterfall that crashes to the pools below throughout much of the year, or take one of our beach cruisers for a ride to the beach. Of course, hanging on the big back porch and enjoying the mountain breeze as you relax is always an option too. After a day at the beach, put your feet up in one of our 3 hammocks and read a book while you sip on a cold cocktail made with fresh tropical fruit. While you're kicking back in the hammock, peer into the tree canopy above and keep your eyes open for the many scarlet macaws, toucans, butterflies, iguanas, monkeys and sloths that make their homes in the treetops. Make sure you head to the beach to watch the amazing sunsets. After a great dinner, step into the backyard and be amazed by the stars overhead and distant sound of waves crashing on the beach.
The Surf
Playa Hermosa and nearby Jaco is THE definitive surf mecca of the central pacific coast. This area arguably offers the most consistent year-round surf with over 3 ½ miles of steep beaches with excellent exposure to swells from almost any direction.
Keywords: House,casa, bungalow, surf shack
I am architect whose main focus is designing and building small sustainable homes in beautiful locations around the world.
The Owner purchased this house in 2008
My good friend and I had been traveling to Costa Rica for awhile and realized that we wanted make a cool surf shack near one of our favorite surf breaks, Playa Hermosa.
We can ride our bikes to fantastic surfing, beautiful sunsets and great restaurants in Playa Hermosa.
My husband and I went to Costa Rica for our Honeymoon. We had the pleasure of staying in Casa Escondida for a whole week. I can not say enough wonderful things about this beautiful home. It was exactly as described. We loved how open the house was with all the windows and doors. We stayed here for a week and then decided to travel for another week. I wish we stayed here the whole time instead. We met Ricardo(the caretaker) and spent a lot of time with him. He made our stay such a great experience. He took us to do so many things. We barely understood him and he barely understood us but it didn't matter....we made it work. It was nice to just lay in the hammocks outside with a couple of beers and just watch the Tucans and listen to all the sounds of wildlife all around. My husband and I aren't really in to doing a lot of Touristy stuff and this was the place to just sit back, relax, surf etc.... I highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a home away from home! :)
My friends and I loved our 7 day stay at Casa Escondida. The house was quite spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed the scenery and quiet atmosphere around the house. Most of our days were spent exploring beaches and parks and doing various tours (white water rafting, kayaking, and ATVing). Thank you for a great trip!
Our family was lucky enough to have stayed at Casa Escondida for three months. We loved the home for many reasons; the house is airy and spacious, with a breath taking view of the beautifully manicured garden and back yard. Our daughter loved spending time outside exporing the trees and fauna. We would wake up everyday to the birds singing, toucans and parrots visiting the mammoth trees outside, and the general serene and quiet of the home. Although it is completely quiet and private, there are neighbours and Ricardo (the caretaking) close by and we always felt safe. The house has a fully equipped kitchen, fantastic yard and hammocks, and is maintained by a warm and wonderful staff to ensure that it is in beautiful condition. Casa Escondida is about 1 mile away from Playa Hermosa, which a beautiful beach known as one of the best surfing beaches. We enjoyed sunsets there and watching the weekly surf competitions. The Casa is a close 10 minute drive to Jaco beach which provides all the ammeneties we were looking for (including a farmers market and many restaurants/bars/stores), but it felt miles away from the crowds of Jaco. We also loved driving to the quiet and calm beaches of Playa Esterillos, which are about a 15 minute drive from the Casa. We would love to stay here again! Highly recommended for those seeking adventure and for anyone looking to truly relax and be away from it all. Pura Vida!
I would highly recommend Casa Escondida to anyone. It is a gorgeous home surrounded by beautiful landscaping. Spacious rooms and tons of large windows make for a perfect view! Well maintained and gorgeous architecture. Close to restaurants, spectacular beach, breathtaking waterfalls and only 10 minutes away from Jaco. We can't wait to return and can't imagine staying anywhere else. The perfect trip!
my girlfriends and I rented this vacation home to celebrate our 60th birthdays. it was just the perfect spot to do what my family ordered me to do... relax, take in the ocean, walk among the flowers, read and laugh. this is a simple, very clean and airy house to be in... it is filled with the essentials to cook, make fruit smoothies, cook on the stove. the gardener/ caretaker is extremely polite and helpful... knows the history of the property and surrounding area and all of the plants, is filed with ideas of what's. available to do and is a joy to have check in periodically. this is a wonderful family house... big enough to house 2 small family's... it is less than a mile from the surf and 10 minutes from Jaco... which has rstores for food and fun and great gelato! it is a splendid" home base" house to travel from!!!.... we plan to go back with our families many more times in the future!
The house, the location, and the care taker, were perfect. Great for surfers, no more than 5 min drive from Hermosa. Felt completely safe leaving our belongs in the house because the care taker was there watching over the house while we were out surfing. There isn't air conditioning but there are huge windows with screens that let in a nice breeze. The house is tucked away in the rainforest and we heard and saw howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, humming birds, and so many more animals than we would have seen staying in a highly populated area. 6 of us stayed there for 10 days and it was and over all wonderful experience!
Pura Vida!

Cancer Patient Gets Rough Treatment
By Risha Chitlangia
NEW DELHI: Government hospitals are supposed to provide treatment free of cost to poor patients. But 20-year-old Soli Bibi, who was recently diagnosed with cancer of the uterus, says she had a terrifying experience at Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital. She was slapped and humiliated by her doctor when Soli told her that she couldn't buy medicines from outside. But things turned ugly when Soli filed a written complaint with the medical superintendent against the doctor, as within five days she was discharged from the hospital.
Soli was admitted to GTB hospital in March after she suffered a miscarriage. She was admitted in the gynaecology ward and was later diagnosed with cancer of the uterus. Since the time she was admitted in the hospital, Soli claims that her family members bought all the medicines as advised by the doctor. "All my tests were done outside and my family member used to buy the medicines. I'm very poor and can't afford the treatment. My family has taken a loan of Rs 6000 for my treatment," said Soli.
Things were fine till Soli's family was buying the medicines from outside. But on June 16, 2008, Soli was allegedly slapped and humiliated by her attending doctor after she told her that she didn't have money and can't buy the medicines from outside. "I didn't have money and couldn't afford the treatment. The doctor slapped me and said 'if you can't afford,why did you come to the hospital'," said Soli.
But her problem didn't end here. With the help of a Parivartan activist, Soli Bibi dared to file a complaint against the doctor with the medical superintendent of GTB hospital hoping for justice and better medical care.
"Soli and we (Parivartan) filed a complaint against the doctor. How can a doctor slap a patient? Everybody in the ward was witness to the incident, but no action was taken against the erring doctor. In fact, she was discharged by the same doctor within five days after we filed the complaint," said Swati Maliwal, a Parivartan activist.
Interestingly, on Soli's discharge summary states that Soli Bibi was not transferred to the Oncology ward due to non-availability of EAMCO (a combination of drugs which was forced to buy from outside) in the hospital and "the patient not affording the same from outside". On being asked about the non-availability of drugs in GTB hospital, medical superintendent, Dr PC Dixit, said, "We don't have drugs for cancer treatment, as the unit has been shifted to Delhi State Cancer Institute (which is inside the GTB campus). They are supposed to treat her." As per Soli's medical records, she has been on EMACO therapy since April 23, 08 till June 17, 08. If she could get treatment from Delhi State Cancer Institute free of cost, then why was she not referred there? "Why was she made to buy such expensive medicines from outside?" questioned Swati.
Soli's complaint was accepted on June 19 and on June 23 the same doctor discharged her. The hospital authorities have taken no action against the doctor so far. "I have forwarded Soli's complaint to the head of the department gynaecology. I'm waiting for her reply. We have to follow the procedure," said Dr Dixit. But why wasn't her case transferred to another doctor after she had complained ? Why was she asked to buy medicines from outside? Why didn't the hospital procure the medicines for her? To this Dr Dixit said, "We get so many complaints, we can't keep changing doctors. I'm looking into the matter."

TERAMA, E; (2010) Regional Demographic Differences: the Effect of Laestadians. Finnish Yearbook of Population Research , XLV 123 - 141.
|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
Laestadianism, a conservative revival movement inside the Lutheran church, has an estimated 100,000 followers in Finland. Laestadians have characteristics differing from the followers of the mainstream state church in areas such as religious activity, regional concentration, fertility and family planning, but these are generally not quantified due to lack of easily accessible data. This study highlights the importance of including location and religiosity, and not only religious affiliation in the study of fertility behaviour. The research uses statistical tools to study the correlations between such variables as religious density and total fertility rate. It is found that on the regional level, the total fertility rate and the increasing number of small children in the family is positively associated with the proportion of Laestadians. The regional variation of religiousness, and the subsequent effects on population structure and socioeconomics are discussed.

A middle-aged man, who tried to kidnap a five-year-old from a house on the outskirts of Thane, was caught by neighbours, thrashed and then handed over to the police after midnight on Sunday. The child was asleep with her grandmother in the house, in the Shildaighar area, while the rest of the family was outside participating in the Janmashtami celebrations when the incident happened.
The grandmother was awakened by the cries of the child and she drew the attention of the people outside. He was caught after a bit of hide-and-seek. The police gave the name of the man as Nimayi Lalu Sadole and learned through an interpreter that he hails from West Bengal. The child's parents live in Panvel and she has been in Shildaighar with her aunt, who is helping with her schooling. The man has been charged with kidnapping and trespass. He was produced in court on Monday and remanded to police custody.

Although the International Polar Year officially came to a close in February, NASA is continuing to push the frontiers of polar science from space, the air and the surface of ice.
A team of researchers from NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Science Foundation and the British Antarctic Survey unveiled a newly completed map of Antarctica today that is expected to revolutionize research of the continent's frozen landscape.
Researchers from NASA and the USGS have woven together more than a thousand images from the Landsat 7 satellite to create the most detailed, high-resolution map ever produced of Antarctica.
Scientists using satellite data have now created the most detailed maps ever produced of the vast snow-covered Antarctic continent. The maps reveal unprecedented views of surface features that provide clues to how and why the continent's massive ice sheets and glaciers are changing.

For the record, a 150mm lens with the proper cone on an Omega D-II will enlarge a 4x5" neg to 16x20" with the standard column. I don't know if there was an extended column that worked with a D-II, but you could raise it or easily rotate the column to project on the floor, if you only print that big occasionally.
Used enlarging lenses are pretty cheap, so there's no reason not to use modern 6-element lenses from the major manufacturers, and it's not much of a stretch to go for Apo lenses that were formerly very expensive (with the exception of Apo EL-Nikkors, which are still very expensive). Ctein published an article many years ago, showing that there was more sample variation among lenses of a single manufacturer and model than differences between comparable lenses from different manufacturers.

boipinoi604: Yea but how do you set up an alarm that corresponds with events on the calendar?
Miguel A Núñez: Video is great and easy for lean. Question how to create and alarm that works with cell off?
Deborah Brandes: you can see all the alarm "tones" where he selectes them. melody is not the name of the sound you are hearing. its one of the selections. watch the vid where he selects a sound after choosing from melody/vibrate/melody & vibrate etc.
MyBeedrill: Well nokia phones automatically turn on itself and set off the alarm. i thought s3 is a SMART phone. i dont want to lose the battery power by keeping it on...
Matt Morjig: If you don't know how to use an app to set an alarm you've entirely missed the point od android and should have gone with a much simpler closed source OS like iOS or wp8 and stayed away from android...
TheDrunkenMantis: First time on a smartphone/android... I have no idea what I am doing..
Sam Hus: Very helpful. Thanks.
Jen F: Can anyone tell me how to disable the repeat button permanently?! It is automatically set to repeat on the same day I set the alarm. Not very helpful for setting an alarm for the next day.
Irunwild31: Go to S-voice and click settings. You can voice control your clock,camera,music and calls. Say stop or snooze. I use it all the time. GLTA
Thecuriousincident1: Hey can you tell me if you ever found out how to do it? I want to know how to do the same thing my battery doesn't last as long as it used to.
Freya Orange: Well this phone has the ringtone volume, the notifications volume and the media volume. What volume plays the alarm tone? I want to hear the alarm but I dont want to hear all my other notifications. I only want to use the essential volume at night!
Jam Salvador Jayar: I do those exact steps and I set it for weekly, Monday - Friday and it alarms once then never again
Deborah Brandes: Okay good demo, but need to know how to turn off the alarm or snooze it. I've tapped the zzzs and hit the button at the bottom of the phone, I've swiped accross it and all that, but can't get it to turn off. HELP
Hammad Raza: i am fail to under stand how does it works when swithed off.............any one to help me.
QueenTxoxo1: I am not tech savy so this was very helpful but I'd also like to know the same thing as german manuel ramirez pina. Thanks
HowTechs: You can create as many alarms as you want; just use the "Create Alarm" button for every subsequent alarm. All alarms will appear in the list; if they exceed the height of the screen, just scroll up and down to find them.
Mark Cairns: My problem is that the alarm simply fails to go off or goes of for about 1/2 second then stops. I thought of deleting all the alarms to resetting them up but I cant find anyway to delete an alarm... you can only disable it. HELLLLPPP!
pranaydevil: How to set the alarm on autopower ??
HELLH0WND: So lets say you select a song to wake up to. How do I adjust the duration of the alarm so that the entire song will be played and not just 1 minute of it?
meteorace1: can i have different time alarms for each day ex. 9 am Monday - 10 am Tuesday
secti0n31: Is there ANY way to change the default alarm ringtone/settings? If I set an alarm with S-voice it defaults to this super melodic default ringtone that woud NOT wake me up.
ioana paula: my alarm doesnt ring I don't know what should I do it only aperace on the screen but does not ring ..help pls
Vet: When I graduated High School, all I wanted to do was kick back and relax without having to do any homework. But I realized I have no money to do anything fun. So I went to a San Francisco Vet School to get trained to make money. But seeing your videos, I am gonna be an internet marketer on the side. Let me know if you have any tips. Thanks.

Orb Launches First Internet TV Solution That Allows Consumers to Watch All Their Online TV Shows: Hulu and More on a TV
OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Orb Networks (www.orb.com) today launched the first Internet TV product that allows consumers to watch thousands of online TV shows from Hulu, ESPN3, Comedy Central and more by bringing it to the home TV for comfortable, big screen viewing. Orb TV is now available for $99, offering a complete home entertainment solution that is easy to set up, and simply controlled through a convenient smartphone app (iPhone, Android, iPad, iPod Touch).
In addition to online TV, Orb TV provides consumers with easy access to thousands of movies on their TV, via Netflix. Orb TV also makes it easy to stream home videos, YouTube and photos to the TV, for viewing with friends and family
Unlike many other Internet TV solutions that are complicated, expensive or lacking in the availability of TV shows, Orb TV is simple and affordable and does not require additional purchases. Orb TV transforms any TV into an Internet-connected TV that is easily controlled via a smartphone. Because it leverages the consumer's existing investment in their TV, home computer and smartphone, it offers an easy and affordable way for consumers to enter the new world of connected TV.
"With Orb TV, people are no longer locked into watching their favorite online TV shows on a small PC or Mac computer screen," said Joe Costello, CEO and founder, Orb Networks. "We make it easy for consumers to enjoy popular TV shows on any TV, in any room of the house. With the smartphone, consumers no longer have to worry about losing the remote for the TV, and it has a familiar interface that consumers are accustomed to."
Getting started with Orb TV is easy and quick. Users simply download the free Orb Caster software to their PC or Mac; next they plug in the Orb TV unit — a hockey-puck sized device — into any TV in the home; finally they download the free Orb controller app to their smartphone.
To help consumers easily find and watch their favorite shows, the Orb controller app features a powerful and easy-to-use global index of TV shows. Consumers can type in the name of the show they want and then Orb quickly finds the show, without requiring the user to specify its source (e.g. Hulu, ABC, CBS, etc).
Orb TV is now available for $99 and can be ordered online at orb.com.

Many eons ago, after they had created the universe and its many dimensions, Tokimi and her sisters Tsunami and Washu were trying to figure out if it were possible to create something more powerful than themselves. While Washu and Tsunami had gone their separate ways to accomplish that end, Tokimi remained to carry out their original plan, by creating abnormalities in the universal fabric to create this superbeing. It was through her manipulations that Z had gained the power of the Lighthawk wings. But she also saw that Z was unstable and wondered if her sisters had better success. That was the reason why she wanted Clay to bring Washu. However, because Clay had ulterior motives in mind, she had D3 seal away Clay's memories of her involvement with him.
Later, when Z rebelled against Tokimi and tried to kill Tenchi, she had sought to contain her errant servant. But because of this, when Tenchi's powers threatened to destroy all universes, Tokimi and her reunited sisters tried to contain a possible explosion, but Tokimi was attacked by a being called the "counter-actor," thus putting the universe in danger. The "counter-actor" in a human form was revealed to be the Empress Misaki gone mad. Tenchi (or perhaps the personification of Tenchi's powers) later saved Tokimi from death by calming the rage of the "counter-actor".
Afterwards, Tokimi would be instrumental in discovering that a set of extra cells that Noike had was in fact the female half of Kagato. Also, Tokimi would reveal a child form, much like Washu uses, which she used during the final OVA episode. Tokimi was also a guest at the wedding of Nobuyuki and Rea Masaki, occupying the "resident kami" portion of the shrine.

Allen Poe ft. Basement Up & Von Pea - Gina
Artist: Allen Poe
Featuring: Von Pea, Basement Up
Producer: Nemo Achida
Album: Pocket Full of Ohms
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 3 votes )
An underground buzzmaker hailing from Kentucky's capital (that's Frankfort, for those of y'all who didn't have to memorize the state capitals in middle school), Allen Poe makes his DJBooth debut with single numero uno off his next independent full-length. A nostalgic ode to first love, this breezy cut depicts the rhymesayer's tentative romance with a girl named Gina. Joining the headliner over the mellow sample work of Lexington rapper/producer Nemo Achida (who dropped off his latest single, Slave to the Wave, last Friday), the headliner is joined on the mic by Tanya Morgan member Von Pea and Bluegrass State hip-hop trio Basement Up. Have you fallen head-over-heels for Gina? If so, keep it locked for all the latest leading up to the Fall release of Allen Poe's new album, Pocket Full of Ohms, via HiPNOTT Records.

HR service center offers 'next generation' BPO delivery
MANILA, Philiippines — Do you help recruit new talent into your organization? Would outsourcing your HR and payroll administration help you increase quality and compliance along with saving money? Do you want to transform your classroom-based learning into e-learning? Do you have operations across the Asian region from Dubai to Wellington? Then Talent2 is a company you should know.
Talent2 is the Asia Pacific leader in HR Managed Services, headquartered in Australia, with operations across the region.
Talent2 has always had Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) operations in the Philippines, but due to growth it is expanding.
Talent2 has had great experience with its two delivery centers in the Philippines — Makati and Cebu — and is building on this by continuing to invest in the Philippines.
This expansion will ensure that Talent2 has the right quality and capacity for its clients around the world. It will be officially opening its new 500-seat service center in March, which demonstrates its commitment to its clients, people and to the Philippines as a BPO strategic delivery location.
Mary Sue Rogers is the Talent2 Global General Manager with overall responsibility for the Shared Service operation in Manila, and is far from being a new comer to the Philippines.
Having previously worked for IBM as its global leader for the HR BPO business, she knows what quality of talent, customer dedication and experience is available in the Philippines.
Building on the track record established in IBM, Mary Sue is looking forward to leading the design, built and operation of the "next generation" of HR, Learning and Recruitment BPO delivery.
The next generation of BPO delivery centers developed by Talent2 will provide an exceptional quality of services for our clients, and just as importantly will establish people processes inside the centre that allow for development and career expansion of the Talent2 team.
Talent2 is focused on the Asia Pacific region and will provide an opportunity for experienced HR and Recruitment professionals to work in a "day shift" environment — something that many competitors in the market cannot provide.
Delivering a high quality work environment that focuses on people, facilitating "work life balance" along with career development is quite unique in the BPO delivery market in the Philippines. This will ultimately benefit not only the Talent2 team but also Talent2 clients.

Plotting effects for glmer(, family="binomial") models
UPDATE 12/15/10: Bug fix. Thanks to Christian Pietsch.
UPDATE 10/31/10: Some further updates and bug fixes. The code below is the updated one.
UPDATE 05/20/10: I've updated the code with a couple of extensions (both linear and binomial models should now work; the plot now uses ggplot2) and minor fixes (the code didn't work if the model only had one fixed effect predictor). I also wanted to be clear that the dashed lines in the plots aren't confidence intervals. They are multiples of the standard error of the effect.
Here's a new function for plotting the effect of predictors in multilevel logit models fitted in R using lmer() from the lme4 package. It's based on code by Austin Frank and I also borrowed from Harald Baayen's plotLMER.fnc() (package languageR). First a cool pic:
These plots contain the distribution of the predictor (x-axis) against the predicted values (based on the entire model, y-axis) using hexbinplot() from the package hexbin. On top of that, you see the model prediction fo the selected predictor along with confidence intervals. Note that the predictor is given in its original form (here speech rate) although it was entered into the model as the centered log-transformed speechrate. The plot consideres that. Of course, you can configure things.
For example, you could plot the effect in probability space:
my.glmergplot <- function( # version 0.43 # written by email@example.com # code contributions from Austin Frank, Ting Qian, and Harald Baayen # remaining errors are mine (email@example.com) # # last modified 12/15/10 # # now also supports linear models # backtransforms centering and standardization # # known bugs: # too simple treatment of random effects # model, name.predictor, name.outcome= "outcome", predictor= NULL, # is the predictor centered IN THE MODEL?

The only thing this function really needs is a model and a NAME of a predictor, e.g. this plots the distribution of centered log-transformed speechrate against the predicted probability of a complementizer (the outcome of my model). On top of the distribution, it plots the prediction dependent on the value of cLSPEECHRATE and the CIs around it. Per default this plots in log-odds space.
I think this is a great way plot to detect outliers – everything is in the right space: the y-axis is the average predicted log-odds (=fitted(model)) and the x-axis is in the scale actually used in the model
my.glmerplot(lmer.speaker, "cLSPEECHRATE") # but you can go to probability space (now debugged) my.glmerplot(lmer.speaker, "cLSPEECHRATE", fun=plogis)
The above plots are nice since they plot against the actual scale of the predictor, but they are often hard to interpret.
What if you want the nice scale from your original variable on the x-axis? that is, if you don't want centered log-transformed speechrate, but rather speechrate? The distribution would then be nicely plotted in the space you can understand (but beware: to detect relevant outliers, see above). The predicted effect should also be plotted correctly — so, we need to tell the model what was done to the original input variable and we need to give it the original variable:
my.glmerplot(lmer.speaker, "cLSPEECHRATE", predictor= d$SPEECHRATE, predictor.transform = log, predictor.centered=T) # or shorter (predictor.centered defaults to T) my.glmerplot(lmer.speaker, "cLSPEECHRATE", predictor= d$SPEECHRATE, predictor.transform = log) # or in probability space my.glmerplot(lmer.speaker, "cLSPEECHRATE", predictor= d$SPEECHRATE, predictor.transform = log, fun= plogis)
The following, however, would be wrong (since variable IS actually centered and logged in model). Usually that becomes apparent when you plot, but be cautious
my.glmerplot(lmer.speaker, "cLSPEECHRATE", predictor= d$SPEECHRATE, predictor.centered=F) my.glmerplot(lmer.speaker, "cLSPEECHRATE", predictor= d$SPEECHRATE)
of course, you can modify all the color settings and other parameters. see above. Here is an example:
my.glmerplot(lmer.speaker, "cLSPEECHRATE", fun=plogis, xlab="Centered log-transformed speechrate (syllables/second)", name.outcome="complementizer", col.line = "black", col.int = "gray", colramp = function (n) { plinrain(n, beg=20, end=225) })
Which, in all ugliness, would look like:
I am sure there are plenty of bugs in there or room for improvement and extension. Please comment on this post, or send us your updated improved version =).
Hhhmm, probably it would be better to include an option to plot the "real" distribution, i.e. not against the predicted (fitted) values, but against true averages in the "bin". If you know what I mean …
32 thoughts on "Plotting effects for glmer(, family="binomial") models"
I used your new code to plot standard error lines from the logistic regression by lmer. However, it seems that predicted lines (with standard error lines) depart significantly from predicted values. If needed, I can send my picture to you, so you can point out where my mistake is.
Thank you very much!
Best wishes,
Can my.glmergplot plot interaction effects as well? Also, this function seems to only take predictors that are continuous. What if I have a predictor that has been sum-coded?
Hi Florian, thank you for sharing this code.
I am trying to use it (version 0.42) for plotting a GLMM with logit link. However, it produces the following error message and aborts:
> my.glmergplot(glmm2, "log(dist)") Error in -na.action(model@frame) : invalid argument to unary operator
So the source of the problem seems to be this line of code:
# make sure that only defined cases are included predictor = predictor[-na.action(model@frame)]
As far as I can tell,
predictor still has its default value (NULL) at this point. Or is it an obligatory argument? How is this supposed to work?
For completeness, here is some more information on my model:
> glmm2@call glmer(formula = rep ~ log(dist) * log(freq) + (1 | seq), data = c, family = binomial)
In the end, I was able to produce a plot after commenting out the line of code quoted above. Perhaps it should be re-inserted further down?
Hi Florian, thanks for the code…it's working quite nicely for me.
However, I do have one question. Is there a simple way for me to adapt the
code so that the hexbinplot() code plots the raw values that were fed into
the LMER model, while still maintaining the line of fit and confidence
intervals from the predictor values?
I would it would have something with changing the following lines, but I'm
not sure:
pdata= data.frame( predictor=predictor, outcome=outcome )
p <- ggplot(data=pdata, aes(x=predictor, y=outcome)) +
xlab(xlab) +
ylab(ylab) +
xlim(xlim) +
ylim(ylim) +
opts(legend.position=legend.position, aspect.ratio=1)

Yes, sorry. I should have specified that I wanted raw values for the Outcome. I'm rather new to posting within technical blogs;)
My model is linear, and I was looking for a way to illustrate how well the predicted slope of my model fits the raw data, without having a monstrous "cloud" of data points on the graph.
Anyways, I think I figured it out by adding the following changes to your script:
raw = model@y
pdata= data.frame( predictor=predictor, outcome=raw )
I have VERY little programming experience, but I think this should work, no?
Thanks again,
Kyle Lovseth
I tried to use the function earlier, but got an error message as below:
Error in my.glmergplot(answer.glmer, "ms") :
could not find function "fun"
The model I fitted is below:
answer.glmer <- glmer(answer~ms*es + (1|subject)+(1|item), alldata, subset = p == 11, family = "binomial")
I wonder what might've gone wrong.
i run the function to plot the partial effects of a model that i did with the package lme4. But it gives me an error: "Error in model@X[, -indexOfPredictor] %*% t(model@fixef[-indexOfPredictor]) :
no compatible arguments"
I will apreciatte if you can tell what is the problem. Thanks.
Hi Florian,
I went back to work with the function "my.glmergplot". I have a model, where my dependent variable is binomial. I have only one independent variable (categorical with 2 levels), and two random intercepts. When i run the function it gives me the same error that I presented in the previous post:
"Error in model@X[, -indexOfPredictor] %*% t(model@fixef[-indexOfPredictor]) :
no compatible arguments"
I used the lmer function, and my model run without problems.
Thanks in advance, kind regards,
Hi – I noticed that the Design package is not available these days, and has been replaced by rms package. Can rms simply be replaced into the function? Also, I find I get the error,
Error in -na.action(model@frame) : invalid argument to unary operator. I am pretty sure I am naming my predictor properly. Is there any common reason for this error?
Hi folks,
Really hope you can help me on this. As I am not a statistician and I am fairly new to R programming language I wonder if you could provide some pointers. I have searched high and low for ways to plot my mixed effect glmer model and found very little until now. The model deals with the presence and absence of an invasive species on navigation buoys (pa_cm). The fixed effect variables are the percentage cover of different animal/plants on the buoys (f1….f4). As there was more than one sample taken per buoy I want to include this as a random effect (Num). In addition buoys came from different geographical areas with possible different conditions so I want to include Area as a random effect.
So this is the model I am using
The key question is how do I include my model output in your plotting script, Forgive my ignorance, but how do I state my model and predictor in this case. If you have any input on the model or how best to plot it I would be over the moon. Best wishes.
Hey Floran,
Thanks for getting back to me. For both I get a Error: could not find function "my.glmerplot" . I have look through the code to make sure the scrip is running OK. It seems to all go through without any warning messages. One possible reason could be that in the latest version of R the 'Design' package is unavailable. Best wishes.
Hi Florian
seems I changed (or maybe "kludged" is a better word) your script and replaced the Design package with ez. Works great for R 2.14 . Seems R 2.15 has killed the script. I have a laptop still running 2.14 so I am OK. I can send you the script and data set if you are interested.
This looks extremely useful. I don't know how much has changed in the past two years, but I was just trying to get this function to work and I'm having some trouble. It looks like model$fixef is old syntax for fixef(model) and same for ranef, but I don't know what model@X is for, nor what model@x or model@Zt is for. Could you please explain those bits or let me know if you think this will be too difficult to update?
Thank you!

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Palihotel Melrose
7950 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Neighborhood: Melrose
After a successful dip into the hospitality pool with the Palihouse Holloway in West Hollywood, the Paligroup is back with what's perhaps a more traditional vision, both in form and in function. The Palihotel operates like a classic boutique hotel, which means guests spend more time in the common spaces and less in the rooms — the casual Southern-style restaurant, The Hart and the Hunter, is the hub of social activity, its power to draw a crowd multiplied by the scent of warm, buttery biscuits occasionally wafting outside.
The rooms come in double and queen layouts, both compact and urban, some with courtyard views and others with outdoor verandas. While the look isn't modern, exactly, it is very much of the moment. This decade-spanning, bohemian-rustic style is a breath of fresh air after years of boutique-hotel minimalism. And the real genius of this place only becomes apparent when it's time to sign the bill — at this price it's hard to think of another hotel that's its equal.
If you're a Hollywood lifer the location might feel ever so slightly peripheral, compared to the original Palihouse, which is a few blocks to the north and west, and more decidedly in the thick of things. But for out-of-towners on a retail bender this stretch of Melrose is shopping paradise; anyway, as the saying goes, nobody walks in L.A.
How to get there:
Palihotel Melrose, located in West Hollywood, is a 30-minute drive from Los Angeles International Airport, but the trip can take up to an hour depending on traffic. Valet parking is available for $20 USD per night.

What the hotel could do better:
the rooms were not clean. there was a stain by the bed, and the towels were stained. it was also very loud from the street.

It is hip and clever and in a great Melrose location,
What the hotel could do better:
The heating/air-conditioning controls are not in each room - as they should be for this price point! They are controlled by staff and affect several rooms at the same time. Thus we froze from Air Con at night & finally had to get up and get staff to turn it off.

What I liked:
Staff at the front desk were very nice. Location is brilliant, great for walking.
What the hotel could do better:
It's not as clean as you'd expect. Bit stingy on the extras too - 20 bucks per night to park, you have to ask for a robe. The walls are incredibly thin, you can hear everything happening next door.

Funding has not been released for a pilot program in Utah to increase the number of dentists providing care to Medicaid beneficiaries. The current system encourages expensive emergency department care instead of less-expensive preventive care, critics say. Dental care affects overall health and is "a cost savings in the long run," state Rep. Tim Cosgrove said.
