My 30 Gallon Aquarium
I have a 30 gallon aquarium, I wouldnt really call it planted, but I am looking for any thoughts on how I can make it better with out making it high tech and very time consuming.
I have a standard 30 gallon aquarium. I have the standard hood and light fixture on it that came with the aquarium. I am using an aqua-tech 20-40 HOB filter.
I have a fine sand substrate, some rocks, and some small driftwood branches. As for plants, I only have three amazon swords. I tried to grow some dwarf hair grass, but with out much luck. It stayed alive but never grew or spread in here, I have had luck in a ten gallon and a small container. I know someone is going to frown on this, but this past summer I collected some native aquatic plants from a nearby lake. They did pretty good for a couple of months but recently my pleco ate some of them.
As for my current fish:
7 peppered corys
6 neon tetras
4 pristilla tetras
1 pitbull pleco
1 sepia tetra
Many many snails
I would like to be able to grow some more plants in the future. I am also thinking about just redoing the whole aquarium. Any ideas on better lighting or filtration are gladly accepted.

A North Las Vegas gun shop is auctioning a firearm it claims was sold to the store by the ex-Los Angeles police officer who was the subject of a tense manhunt in California.
Bargain Pawn said it bought a revolver from Christopher Dorner on January 15 at a price of $50.
The shop also has images from a surveillance camera that show Dorner selling the gun, and a signed sale ticket by the former Las Vegas resident.
The sale was made just mere weeks before a killing spree began throughout southern California, of which Dorner was suspected. In all, Dorner was connected to the slayings of four people in a spree that began Feb. 3.
"My son recognized him when all the stuff started to happen, said Bargain Pawn's co-owner George Bramlett. "He says, 'I think we bought a gun from him.'"
Dorner, who also had a $1 million bounty for his capture, eventually died during a standoff with authorities in Big Bear Lake, CA.
As of Friday evening, the Astra 960 revolver had 21 bids with the highest at $615, according to the auction site.
The shop said it will donate proceeds to the victims' families or an injured police officer's fund.
Jason Jacobs, a customer at the store, said he would not bid on the gun, but understands that there is a market for criminal memorabilia.
"If it's going to help the officers that were killed, it's a good thing," he said.
In February, FOX5 revealed the world of "Murderabilia," in which items used or created by notorious felons are sold to the highest bidder.
"I think it's crazy - absolutely crazy," said Las Vegas resident Despina Lablanc. "We don't want it on the street."

very nice quilt.......
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
very nice quilt.......
Love your scrappy hearts!
Once upon a time~
There was enough time~DD
It's gorgeous...maybe echo around the hearts (this will make them stand out) and maybe just ditch quilt the rest. Or go nuts and quilt heart shapes in the white bits and ditch quilt the sashings.
Love your scrappy hearts. QC is a great site.
Beautiful quilt!
Treat people the way you want to be treated!!
thats so cute! i love the quilters cache, they have the most fabulous blocks! you did a great job with this one!
A rolling stone gathers no moss
What a good use of scraps. QC is a really good resource for scrappy quilts. I put that pattern on my bucket list but my bucket is running over. Your quilt is lovely.
She who dies with the most fabric, didn't sew fast enough!
I love it - makes me smile. Can't help you with the quilting but your idea sounds good.
it's very pretty. Your fabrics are ever so much brighter than what I mostly had (when I had so many 2.5" blocks)--and it makes for a beautiful quilt. Congratulations.
And I agree with the others...whatever you do will be fine, but SITD would probably enhance it. But, it will be nice no matter what you do.
I can't find this pattern anywhere on the site, searched and searched, could you put the link in for us?

|Re: st: multivariable median regression
|Fri, 22 Apr 2005 17:19:06 EDT
You asked about how to run a multivariate median regression. Isn't this the same as Stata's qreg command. If you type . search median regression at the Stata prompt, a lists of references appears. One reference is for a Frequently Asked Questions source related to qreg. Here is the first two paragraphs from the FAQ. If this is what you're looking for, then qreg is your answer. ======= "Stata's qreg command fits quantile (including median) regression models, also known as least-absolute value (LAV) models, minimum absolute deviation (MAD) models, and L1-norm models. "Median regression estimates the median of the dependent variable, conditional on the values of the independent variable. This is similar to least-squares regression, which estimates the mean of the dependent variable. Said differently, median regression finds the regression plane that minimizes the sum of the absolute residuals rather than the sum of the squared residuals." ======= Joe Hilbe =========================================================: Dear listusers, I have to build a multivariable median regression model but I don't understand which is the appropriate method to select variables. I can get the pseudo R2 that is based on the likelihood of a double exponential distribution, but I don't know how to use this information to decide if a variable has to enter or not in the equation. Many thanks, Elisa <mailto:email@example.com> -----Mensaje original----- De: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Enviado el: vie 22/04/2005 20:18 Para: email@example.com CC: Asunto: st: problem with missing F stats and P values in joint model test Dear listusers, When I run multivariate regression, the F or chi2 model statistic has been reported as missing for some models. The Stata help menu says "the model that you estimated has its F or chi2 model statistic reported to be missing. Stata has done that so as not to be misleading, not because there is something necessarily wrong with your model". But I want to understand the mechanism behind this problem. I suspect it might be due to the lack of LHS vars' variation or lack of statistical power. Does anybody have experienced the same problem and have some thoughts to share? What kind of consequence will this cause? Does it affect the interpretation?

High School Summit Tackles "Unrecognized Educational Crisis"
Parent Participation: A Requisite for Success

New Resource! Celebrating Veterans Day in the Classroom
High School Summit Tackles "Unrecognized Educational Crisis"
Secretary Paige joined more than 700 of the nation's high school leaders for the National High School Leadership Summit on Oct. 8 in Washington, D.C., during which he unveiled a series of measures to promote educational excellence in secondary education.
"We are facing an unrecognized educational crisis in this country," said Secretary Paige. "Our wide and sometimes growing achievement gap confirms that we live with a two-tiered educational system."
Paige said that only one in six African-American seniors and one in five Hispanic seniors can read proficiently. On-time graduation rates at inner-city schools, he added, are "shockingly low," with fewer than half of ninth-graders in the nation's 35 largest cities graduating four years later.
To tackle these and other issues, Paige announced the following efforts:
- Preparing America's Future," a high school improvement initiative.
- $11 million in new grants for promising activities in grades 6-12 to increase the enrollment of students from low-income families in advanced courses.
- $2.4 million in grants for the State Scholars Initiative, a community partnership to increase the percentage of students who complete challenging courses that will better prepare them for postsecondary education, the military and the workplace.
- A new Web toolwww.studentaid.ed.govto guide parents and students through the college application and financial aid process.
Parent Participation: A Requisite for Success
By Don Ogden, Sacramento, Calif.
In the summer of 1998, I was hired as the principal of Camellia Basic School, a magnet elementary school in the Sacramento City Unified School District. The demographics of the school reflect the community's very diverse population: Asian students of Cantonese and Vietnamese descent make up 39 percent of the student body; Latino students are 22 percent; African-American students are 17 percent; and Caucasian students are 16 percent. More than half of the students speak a language other than English at home. A significant portion (66 percent) of our families participate in the free and reduced-price lunch program.
|"Education is the common denominator of all people, the road to emancipation and liberty, the way we find our humanity and discover our soul. There is no mission more important than providing an inclusive, quality education to all people, no endeavor more crucial."
Secretary Paige, in his remarks at the 32nd General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), on Oct.3, in Paris.
Yet these figures do not translate into odds against us. This year, Camellia Basic was recognized as a No Child Left Behind-Blue Ribbon School. Last year, Camellia Basic was a California Achieving School and a National Achieving School, and in 2001 a California Distinguished School. In addition, for the last five years, Camellia Basic has been rated as an "exemplary school" (the highest possible ranking) by the Sacramento City School Board.
One of the greatest contributors to our success has been parent participation. Although our magnet program allows students throughout the city of Sacramento to enroll, we require parents to commit at least 40 hours of volunteer service during the school yeara commitment that has long been upheld. During my tenure, Camellia parents have volunteered over 100,000 hours of service.
My first day at Camellia Basic School taught me quite a bit about the true value of parent participation in education. Upon entering the office for my first day as principal, the school secretary handed me a computer printout and said, "You need to call these people and let them know that they need to complete their 40 volunteer hours."
I proceeded to call the first parent, not sure what to expect. He explained to me that he knew he was short 20 hours and he wanted to make a donation to the Camellia Basic PTA so that he could honor his commitment; he asked if he could take care of it on Friday. When Friday approached, he came by the school and explained that he had been working as a roofer that week in the 100-degree Sacramento summer heat. He opened his wallet and proudly handed me a crisp $100 dollar bill. I gave him a receipt and put the money in the PTA's cash box.
We spoke for a few minutes and he emphasized that he knew his kids were getting a good education and how important it was for all parentsregardless of marital statusto honor their commitment. He was a single father honoring his. By the end of the next week, each of the families made a visit to the school and honored their commitment. "What an amazing place!" I told everyone who would listen.
That year, parents continued to astound me. I remember one of the parents called to let me know that a problem was occurring at the bus stop. Before I could provide a resolution, she let me know that she had already spoken to her husband and several neighbors. They were going to create a schedule to have parents monitor the bus stop. And if needed, they were willing to ride along on the bus to make sure that the problems didn't escalate. Again, I was amazed and told everyone who would listen.
Later in the year, several parents asked why we didn't offer a music program. Within a few weeks, these same parents organized an after-school program that provided violin, viola and cello lessons for students in grades 4-6.
I have five years' worth of amazing stories like these.
In my opinion, it isn't the activities we offer parent volunteers that create our climate of commitment. Most schools have similar fundraisers and use parent volunteers as classroom helpers. The difference is the standard we set for quantifying and securing that commitment. It is this 40-hour service that Camellia parents pledge yearly that reflects the remarkable climate of volunteerism. Also, the need to fulfill this service sparks creativity among parents looking for innovative ways to assist the school.
At the beginning of each school year, I host a new parent orientation, describing the tradition of commitment to volunteering at Camellia. And each year, by their increasing demonstrations of support, parents have proven that their participation is a requirement for student success.
Don Ogden is in his sixth year as principal at Camellia Basic School in the Sacramento City Unified School District. He was one of 100 educators in America honored with the Milken Outstanding Educator Award in 2002.
Close-Up: No Child Left BehindIndian Education
American Indian students continue to show gains on the SAT. In the past 10 years, American Indian and Alaska Native students have shown a 6-point gain on the math and 3-point gain on the verbal portions of the standardized test.
Source: Digest of Education Statistics, 2002, National Center for Education Statistics.
No Child Left Behind includes programs that support efforts to meet the unique and related academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students. Recently, the Department made several announcements affecting Indian education:
- The Office of Indian Education has been elevated to the Office of the Under Secretary, to reflect the importance of the department's Indian education programs.
- Indian tribes, schools and agencies that serve Indian children will share more than $105 million in grants to improve education opportunities. The grants include $5 million for professional development, college preparation and early childhood education, and nearly $100 million to help 1,200 local education agencies improve the educational opportunities for approximately 470,000 Indian students. More information about the grants is available at www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ous/oie/contacts.html.
- The Bureau of Indian Affairs, which serves approximately 48,000 Indian children, received $9.4 million in federal reading grant funds to improve reading achievement using scientifically proven instruction methods. Over six years, the Bureau of Indian Affairs is set to receive $30.4 million in Reading First funds.

|On the International Front
A new report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which tracks education in 30 industrialized nations, finds that while the United States is among the leaders in public and private educational spending, America's 15 year-olds only score average on international assessments of math, reading and science.
The latest edition of OECD's report, Education at a Glance, also indicates that the U.S. high school graduation rate was below the world average in 2001. Nonetheless, the report reveals, American teachers are among the hardest working, spending 950 hours or more per year at school (compared to the international average of 792 hours).
In related news, after a 19-year absence, the U.S. rejoined the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on Oct. 1. Secretary Paige led the U.S. delegation, and First Lady Laura Bush helped raise the U.S. flag over UNESCO headquarters in Paris. In his remarks, Secretary Paige noted the consistency between No Child Left Behind and UNESCO's education initiative, "Education For All," which pledges to provide primary education for all children and massively reduce adult illiteracy by the end of the decade. Secretary Paige's remarks are available at www.ed.gov/news/speeches/2003/10/10032003.html.

Speed limits to change in Breezy Point
Breezy Point City Council member Otto Schmid informed the council Monday night, July 1, that the speed limits surrounding the intersection of County Roads (CR) 4 and 11 will soon change to 45 miles per hour.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation signed off on the change on June 6.
The change will affect three sides of the intersection of CR 11 and CR 4. To the west, CR 11 will become 45 miles per hour 1,300 feet west of the stop sign (to just west of Robin Lane). Currently that area is 55 miles per hour.
CR 11 will also be 45 miles per hour all the way to 1,850 feet north of the stop sign, which is just north of North Drive. Currently that road is 50 miles per hour.
To the south, CR 4 will be 45 miles per hour from the stop sign to Breezy Point city limits. Currently that area is 40 miles per hour.
The council requested flagging the signs with orange to alert motorists to the new speed after it's installed.
By email, Crow Wing County Highway Department Engineer Tim Bray said that the county is currently working installation of the new signs into its schedule.

The pats haven't won anything since spygate they need this win for validation. That whole "dynasty" is tainted. Too bad, its not going to happen on our watch...[/quote] Ok, so when Chris Canty responded to Brady's comments was he being nervous? By your logic he's being nervous too. Personally, I see it as Canty getting pissy and lashing out over what brady said. He can do that, but he looks no more or less nervous than I purportedly do.[/quote] What??? Can you read? How does my logic parallel Canty being nervous?[/quote]

It doesn't. Pats fans, like this little moron over here, have gotten so sensitive that unless the world is blowing on the Pats collective ****s it's seen as trash talking. There hasn't been anything on either side that really constitutes trash talking this go around, much less the "most trash talking coming from a team" that this **** wad claims. Hell, Brian Billick put anything and everything said this week to shame when we played the Ravens in the SB, when he called us the "worst SB team in NFL history." Now that's trash talk.

Saying we're going to be playing on Sunday and having a parade on Tuesday isn't trash talk. Being a WR and saying that you hope a WR playing as a CB will cover you isn't trash talk. Saying that Brady isn't god isn't trash talk. Saying when you watched film that you saw Brady let the pressure get to him isn't trash talk.I guess it is to pantywaist Pats fans.

But, this dumbass has his panties all in a knot because we're (our team and our fans) aren't cowering and genuflecting in front of the almighty Patriots.

Hey, PatPatson, go grab a washcloth and clean the sand out of your vag.

Enlighten me please.
Is there such a thing as organic honey?
The topic came up briefly in my beek course at the University of Minnesota last year. If memory serves me well, I'm pretty sure Marla chuckled a bit before answering and then stated that in North America there was no such thing as organic honey since we can't control where our bees forage and a hive would have to be kept miles from a pesticide laden flower, plant, crop and there was no way to guarantee this with blow over and such. She did however defer to a group of beekeepers in class from Brazil that said they had hives (African) that were very remote and guaranteed organic. Those with knowledge on this topic in class were all in agreement.
I am asking this because I was on facebook tonight and a company I follow that sells certain products with beeswax claim their products are 100% organic and that they purchase their beeswax from a supplier in North America that keeps their hives 4 miles from any source of pesticides. :scratch: Good marketing?


text:
She's beautiful, Colleen! Congratulations!
We took a quick walk through of the hive today because I saw what looked like capped queen cells through the window. Turned out they weren't capped; it was just the angle at which I was viewing them. Turned out that there is virtually nothing left in the cells throughout the hive. No brood at all, of course. Almost all of the cells in the hive have been cleaned out. No capped honey, some uncapped nectar, some pollen, very little of both. No sign of a queen. I believe that I've seen posted around here that the bees will polish up the cells when they expect the queen to start laying, but in this case it looks like they not only polished up the cells but decided to start almost completely fresh!
We went through Hive 2 looking for young larvae and eggs. Saw the queen, found young larvae, but eggs eluded our eyesight. We decided to move one of the newer combs with young larvae and some capped brood to Hive 1 on the basis of it couldn't hurt and if they don't have a queen they may still be able to make one.
We're heading out Wednesday and will be gone the rest of the week, so when we come back we hope to either see evidence of a laying queen or new supercedure cells.
Hive 2 was also fairly cleaned out of their capped honey, so we're concerned there may not be enough of a nectar flow around here at the moment. We're going to put feeders into both hives this evening after our syrup (left over from when we first got the bees) thaws out. And then we'll see what happens when we get back.

A total of five students from Hope College presented their summer research projects at the Consortium for Computing Sciences in College's Midwest conference, which was held Friday-Saturday, Sept. 27-28, at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Ind.
One of the presentations was named among the top- three student presentations at the conference. In addition, a three-member Hope team placed third in a programming contest held during the event.
The students were junior Carrie Halvorsen of Traverse City, senior Marty Kane of Champaign, Ill., senior Chad Kettner of Grand Rapids, senior Mike Kopchick of Grand Rapids and senior Alex Sherstov of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Ben Occipinti and Josh Rowe, participants in the Hope College Computer Science Research Experiences for Undergraduates program from Grand Valley State University, also presented their summer work at the conference.
Sherstov presented his paper "Vizualization of Distributed Algorithms using DisViz," which was selected one of the top three student works at the conference. Halvorsen and Kane presented a poster on their work on electronic textbooks, while Chad Kettner and Kopchick presented a poster that described research into improving the ability of search engines to respond appropriately to ambiguous search requests.
Sherstov did his work under the direction of Dr. Herb Dershem. The other four students all worked under Dr. Ryan McFall.
In addition to making their presentations, the students participated in a programming contest held during the conference. The team of Halvorsen, Kane and Sherstov solved three out of the eight problems for a third-place finish, while the team of Kettner, Kopchick and Ben Occipinti correctly solved one problem.

ExOne Slips On Q3 Miss, Reiterates Guidance
Shares of ExOne (XONE) were 1.7% lower after hours following its third-quarter earnings report, after ending down 4.3% during regular trading on news that its CFO is stepping down.
ExOne reported a loss of 2 cents a share on revenue of $11.6 million. Analysts were looking for the company to earn one penny per share on revenue of $12.2 million.
The company also said it expects that 2013 revenue will be at the low end of its previous $48 million to $52 million guidance. The Street was already anticipating that, with an average estimate of $48.2 million. ExOne forecast gross margin for the year at the high end of its 42% to 46% guidance and operating expenses to come in at the high end of its $18 million to $21 million guidance.
Fellow 3D printer 3D Systems (DDD) was in the black during normal trading, but was also lower after hours.

There seems to be at least one poster in this thread that implies that the destruction described by Russell employee(s) to at least one of their buildings and a large 5 frame nuc yard is made up. Well, I saw a large pine tree laying through the middle of his building a few weeks ago ... it certainly seemed real to me. It certainly doesnt help speed things up in the busy spring season.
This is agriculture. Weather slows things down or (in this case) causes damage which can be fixed but it takes a little time. Would you rather they fix the damage or email every time someone asks a question of no consequence (in this twitter, facebook generation (most thoughts and comments really are a waste of most peoples time and doesn't really require a response).
If a business owner or employee takes to time to respond every time a customer writes an email, you would be able to read a book the length of this thread on 20% of your customers. I have some sunkist queens and they are best queens in my apiaries (one other strain I have is just as good, but they are certainly worth having).
Now, the busiest (meaning best) queen breeders arent going to call or email you back in the Springtime... Get it? I'm a commercial beekeeper and you couldnt pay me enough to mass produce quality queens due to the massive amount of time it takes 6 months out the year just to produce the product. There are only so many hours in the day. There is not time to respond to thousands of people every day. Be patient if you ordered. If you havent ordered and aren't the patient type, you probably shouldnt order at all. My $0.02...
Regarding their damage, if they have everything fixed and got back on track with orders, then I am impressed. Remember, I saw the damage AND I dont work for them (and, no, I'm not a Russell).


text: This is a quite random posting but I felt compelled to share. Here is a documentary/interview with John Curry that was done in 1987. It includes discussion with him spanning his beginnings in skating to his professional career. Also included is his entire Olympic winning free skate as well as clips from other programs. The program is a classic and Mr. Curry was such a well spoken person. I really was intrigued and found myself listening intently to what he had to say. There are 5 parts, I have linked to the 1st. The others can be found to the right in the related videos section. http://youtu.be/0Yh2a0OMGf8 This was inspired by someone else who, in another thread, linked to Curry's 1976 Olympic LP. From there I found these videos.

Cracker Barrel: Frankie B.
A few nights ago I had a very long talk on the phone with an old friend from boyhood days near Chicago. You might say we spent the time on a salvage operation, dredging up long-lost memories ...
Summer, 1953. I am 11 years old, a haunter of the north side of Chicago, a frequenter of Wrigley Field. Father, already a Cubs fan for decades, has nurtured within my heart a wondrous emotion. I am smitten with 25 people, all at the same time. I am in love with the Chicago Cubs.
I spend as many days as possible in the bleachers, above the ivy-covered bricks, absorbing the crackle of flags, the Lake Michigan wind, the odors of hot dogs and mustard and popcorn and beer and cigar smoke.
As a bleacher bum, it is only natural that I should take a particular interest in outfielders, and especially in Frankie Baumholtz.
Frankly, Frankie is no demolisher of fences. Instead he is compact, dependable, tough. When he turns to spring after a sinking line drive or charges back, leaping, to snag a sure hit, my blood pounds in sympathetic exertion.
"Attaboy, Frankie!" I yell. "Way to go. Way to go!"
The pinnacle is reached one August day when my man makes a stupendous rally-killing shoestring catch against the Reds in the top of the ninth and then comes to bat in the bottom of the inning and smacks a game-winning double against the right field wall.
Frenzied with love, I race halfway around the ball park to the place under the grandstands where the catwalk from the dugout passes right next to the spectators' ramp. I position myself against the restraining fence, clinging like a monkey to the wire, along with dozens of other jabbering kids.
The players file past like a pantheon of gods before my eyes: Hank Sauer, the old slugger, his face incised with deep furrows like the face of the Indian chief in our social studies book, hawk-nosed, proud; big Bob Rush, the fastball pitcher, raw-boned and red; Randy Jackson, the stalwart third baseman, his eyes snapping with a bright good humor.
Little by little the crowd thins out and the sounds of scuffing feet and cackling voices die away and I am alone, waiting for my hero. He must have passed, I think. I must have missed him.
But then I hear the sound of spikes clacking against concrete and a moment later he turns the corner and starts up the long incline to the clubhouse, the click of his steps filling the universe, filling my heart; and on he comes, walking slowly, tiredly, his eyes fixed upon the floor of the catwalk, his blue warmup jacket hooked on his forefinger and trailing back over his shoulder, his cap pushed back on his head.
And then he is right before me, and I can see the deep reddish tan of his face and the matting of hair on his forearms and the way his sweat-soaked hair lies lank upon his forehead.
"Hi, Mr. Baumholtz. Nice game." I want to say more but I can't think of anything.
He turns, nods his head just a little, smiles at me with tired eyes.
"Yeah. Thanks, kid."
He reaches up, pulls his cap down lower over his sweaty hair, continues on his way. I cling to the wire fence as though electrocuted. It is as if I have looked upon the face of God.
Then the clack of his spikes grows softer and a door creaks open and a faraway babble of voices spills out and the door slams shut and he is gone and there is only silence.

László Sándor <email@example.com>:
Using the FWL thm is the fastest way to go, probably, but I am not
clear on what you are actually doing. Is it something like one of the
approaches below? Or are you trying to get the individual-specific
coefs on the treatment dummy (harder, but can be done in Mata without
making any really big matrices)?
webuse grunfeld, clear
set seed 1
ren company c
keep if c<5
qui ta c, g(d_)
g byte t=uniform()>.5
forv i=1/4 {
g byte td_`i'=d_`i'*t
drop d_1
reg mvalue kstock d_* td_*
est sto reg1
egen double m1=mean(mvalue), by(c t)
g double mres=mvalue-m1
egen double k1=mean(kstock), by(c t)
g double kres=kstock-k1
areg mres kres, a(c)
est sto reg2
egen c2=group(t c)
areg mvalue kstock, a(c2)
est sto reg3
est table reg?
Or are you doing something like:
qui reg mvalue td_2 td_3 td_4 d_* kstock
predict m2, res
qui reg td_1 td_2 td_3 td_4 d_* kstock
predict t2, res
reg m2 t2
which still needs big matrices as the problem gets big? Make sure you
are getting the right answer in a small subsample before you go too

Hi. I am new to candle making. I would like to make beeswax candles. I like container candles because I don't own any molds. I did a google search of Beeswax candles. I have found instructions on making beeswax container candles with mason jars. I have also found post on different sites that say never use beeswax in containers.
Okay so I am turning to those of you with way more experience than me. Is it okay to make container candles with beeswax. I figure if I use wick 1 or 1,0 on a 3 inch container. What do you all think. Also if you could suggest good books or sites to learn from I would really appreciate.

When we last left off, I was in Amsterdam for less than 48 hours for the mobile launch of Spil Games/GirlsgoGames incredibly popular desktop title: Sara's Cooking Class. To review: Sara's Cooking Class is a desktop game with 50 million users worldwide. Under the tutelage of Sara, an animated chef, tween girls learn to cook in a virtual kitchen.
I played the game, and enjoyed it (I made macaron!) but I really try to stay away from playing games on my desktop. Hence I dare not sign up for WoW, SWOTOR or Guild Wars 2 – once I get entrenched in these types of games, I find it very hard to leave the computer. Or get any work done. When you work from home, you have to be disciplined, and I am already severely lacking in the discipline it takes to say, "I don't need to complete another mission." I realized this back during ye olden days of Myst. But I do play games on my phone and iPad (*cough* JapanLife *cough*). I don't feel guilty when I'm killing time on my mobile, as opposed to the crushing guilt I apparently feel sitting in front of the computer, leveling up a character, or beefing up my cities in Hex Empire.

Everything worked out great :) very close located to public transport, quiet location.
Apartment cozy, 3 bedrooms with shower each with TV, bathroom. Was clean and very friendly, helpful hosts :)
Would not hesitate to book again :)
Es hat alles super geklappt :) sehr nahe gelegen zu öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln, ruhige Lage.
Wohnung gemütlich,3 Zimmer jeweils mit Fernseher,Bad mit dusche. War sauber und sehr freundliche,hilfsbereite Gastgeber :)
Würden es jederzeit wieder buchen :)
Very close to training center of Borussia Dortmund, easy access to city center via public transport. Stores, local restaurants and even a skittle-alley in walking distance.
Not super luxurious rooms, but in good shape, very clean and cosy.
Very kind hosts.
A great welcome, pleasant accommodation. Center within easy reach. Tram
Een prima ontvangst, prettige accomodatie. Centrum eenvoudig met tram te bereiken.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Very nice host. The shower and toilet is shared with another apartment, but this was not a problem for us.
Sehr netter Gastgeber. Die Dusche und das WC teilt man sich mit einer anderen Wohnung, was für uns jedoch kein Problem war.
Beautiful nice apartment, easily accessible, friendly landlord
Schöne nette Wohnung , gut erreichbar, freundliche Vermieter
Small very luminous home, not far from the center, easy access to local transport.
Kleines gemühtliches Heim, nicht weit vom Zentrum, gute Anbindung an den örtlichen Nahverkehr.
We chose this place as it was closely located to my sister's family in Dortmund. However it really isn't that far from the centre of town - about 15 minutes on a tram. The apartment is cosy sized and the loft area with a second bed is pretty cool.
The apartment is really nice and I have felt totally comfortable. It is indeed quite far out, but the connection to bus and train is fine. All very clean and good facilities. To be recommended!
Die Wohnung ist wirklich sehr schön und ich habe mich total wohlgefühlt. Sie liegt zwar ziemlich weit außerhalb, aber die Anbindung an Bus und Bahn ist prima. Alles schön sauber und gute Ausstattung. Zu empfehlen!
Clean apartment on 2 levels. This apartment is best suited for one family because the two rooms are not really separate. (One on each level). The toilet and bathroom are on the 1st level. It may be annoying for two separate families. The staircase leading to the upstairs bedroom is a "little stiff" (Elderly care or children ...) The host seems very friendly although we have not communicated due to short stay (one night and language barrier)
Appartement propre sur 2 niveaux. Cet appartement convient mieux pour une seule famille car les deux chambres ne sont pas véritablement séparées. (une à chaque niveau). Les toilettes et la salle de bain sont au 1er niveau. C'est peut être plus embêtant pour 2 familles distinctes. L'escalier qui mène à la chambre du haut est un "peu raide" (Personnes âgées ou enfants attention...) L'hôte parait très sympathique bien que nous ayons peu communiqué à cause du séjour court (une seule nuit et de la barrière de la langue)
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

lol i don't know ,i mastered the old boards, this one my old school html code isnt working
oh doh all i had to do was type it in and not use a code thanks
LMAO Is very amusing how this clown thinks SB's are overrated and not as important , if winning the SB isn't the main purpose then , can somebody ask him what's the point to win the Div. , qualify to the playoffs or even win the Conference championship ?
Many team fans were happy that we miss the playoffs, these include fans of the Cowboys, Skins, Eagles, 49ers, Packers, Patriots, Jets.
Funny to see fellow E-girl fans giving the OP crap:
"2 Superbowls in 5 Years. Yeah, Laugh at them."
"And guess what 9-7 > 4-12."
"This is a terrible thread. It's like a kid with no legs laughing at a kid who only has one. "
good stuff
Yeah a lot of fans of other teams seem to have this hate towards us. I'm not sure why.
I think all 12 playoff teams are happy we missed the playoffs and are too injured to do anything anyway... Nobody wants to face the "Hyde" Giants.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.

Marlene Dietrich lived in this original Berlin House from 1894 in her young days.
5th floor WITHOUT elevator.
Selfservice breakfast, HD-TV, DVD/BluRay, a selection of international movies on DVD and BluRay, Radio and WLAN internet included.
Access to kitchen and dining room, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, washing machine and dryer.
Bedlinen and towels are provided.
Host speaks english, german and danish.
Minimum stay 2 nights.
The apartment is located in the famous district Schöneberg between U stations Wittenbergplatz and Nollendorfplatz. In the roaring 1920s, Schöneberg was the neighbourhood of artists and musicians of Berlin. The neighbourhood around Nollendorfplatz in particular was known for elaborate parties and a casual lifestyle. To this day, modern clubs like Goya build on the atmosphere of that time.
Winterfeldplatz, which hosts the city's largest food market on Wednesdays and Saturdays, lies directly to the south. Around the square and on nearby side streets, there are plenty of cafes and bars.
Another Place of interest is Schöneberg town hall. After the division of Germany, it was the political centre of West Berlin. This is where Kennedy uttered the famous words, 'ich bin ein Berliner'. To the south of the town hall, the long Rudolf-Wilde park is a good option for a leisurely stroll.
Schöneberg has a good connection to the neighbouring districts. The U-Bahn lines U1, U2, U3, U4 and U7 go through the district as well as the S-Bahn lines S1 und S41 / S42 (the circle line).
100 meter to bus to Bahnhof Zoo and Alexanderplatz and nearest U stations.
FREE PARKING AVAILABLE in the streets around the apartment and it is generally not difficult to find a parking lot (not rarely right in front of the door, mostly within a 100-200 m radius).
House rulesSmoking only on the sunroof terrace.

I've been in Cph with my boyfriend for 3 night; the house is in a very quiet and pleasure area of the city, near the sea closer to metro station and the the centre of Cph is within a walking distance. and We found a very gentle and hospitable person, ready to give use all tourists info about the city, and useful places shops and restaurants nearby. We had all comforts needed (a great tv with many dvd's, hair dryer, for ironing board, towels ect..) and all the necessary to have a cup of tea/ coffee. The room and bathroom were very clean and there's enough space for luggages and to hang up clothes. If we'll have to come back in Cph we'll return to Sven's house for sure!!! :)
We spend three nights in this appartment. We liked it very much. It is in the midst of the old city of Arhus. The people in this town were very kind and helpfull! We really were surprised. We could use a sleeping room, kitchen and shower.
Try and you will see!
Beware, parking is not easy, but there are some little free-parking areas. By train it won't be a problem at all.
Everything was perfect! when i will come back sure i will try to rent again the room
Copenhagen is amazing! The apartment is super nice and the room as well (with a really confortable bed which is so important after a walking day in the freezing Copenhagen). Sven is really kind and helpful. We followed in love with this 2 days!
Very good stay in Copenhagen. Sven greeted us warmly. The room is nice and spacious bathroom. The apartment is located close to the metro and bus. Thank you and Sven ... Godt igen nytår!
We will return!
Très bon séjour à Copenhague. Sven nous a chaleureusement accueillis. La chambre est agréable et la salle de bain spacieuse. L'appartement est situé à proximité du métro et du bus. Merci Sven et... Godt nytår igen !
Nous reviendrons !
Sven is a nice guy, everything was set when we arrived (coffee, tea on the table, tourist information).
The room is fine, well equiped in terms of TV but the flap let the light goes throught. So it is hard to sleep in the morning.
The location of the appartment is quite OK, the metro is close and the center is in a walking distance ( ~ 10 minutes).
We did not interact much with the host, so nothing in particular to say.
on the whole, was it a good stay in berlin, but not quite the expectations we had
we thought we had booked two arpartemente however it was one spatially and clean with large conservatory but just the conservatory eignette not to ueberanchtung since man kommte not darken it. not bad, we just geschoeben the beds in a room. furthermore we were not prepared for was the one in the guest house and the hospitable gentleman. was not bad but it would have not previously given better info then there were so so now is the so-
There was nothing, however, to make it clear once again a good clean stay with good ausgiebeigen fruehstuck and clean bath room and thanks again to john, sven there was non. maybe jason greeting you next time
im grossen und ganzen wars ein guter aufenthalt in berlin allerdings nicht ganz den erwartungen die wir hatten
wir haben geglaubt das wir zwei arpartemente gebucht hatten hingegen war es eins mit wintergarten gross raeumlich und sauber aber eben der wintergarten eignette sich nicht zur ueberanchtung da mann ihn nicht verdunkeln kommte. nicht schlimm haben wir die betten eben in ein zimmer geschoeben. des weiteren waren wir nicht darauf vorbereitet das noch ein gast in der wohnung war und auch der gastherr. war nicht schlimm haette man aber vorher bessere infos gegeben dann were es nicht so ein so jetzt is das so
nichts hingegen war es um es nochmals deutlich zu machen ein guter sauberer aufenthalt mit guten ausgiebeigen fruehstuck und sauberem bad und zimmer danke nochmal an john, sven war nich da . vieleicht bis zum naechsten mal gruss jason
This is a really nice room in an apartment in an amazing old building. The room is just as it appears in the photographs. It is very clean and comfortable. However, the best thing about this apartment is John. He is a very friendly and warm host and he absolutely made my brief stay in Berlin. His advice on where I might like to eat and what I might like to do in my short time in Berlin were amazing. I ate in places that I never would have known about or tried and I now love German/Berlin food. John's passion and love for Berlin are clear and this has rubbed off on me. I now love Berlin and can't wait to go back. I can't recommend this apartment enough and the incredible resource for any visitor to Berlin that is John. HIGHLY recommended!
nice apartment, clean and cared for. Jhon is a person piacevol that provided lots of information. Convenient to all amenities and 10 minutes from the center. The only flaw ..... 4 story walk back home! : P
bell'appartamento, pulito e curato. Jhon è una persona piacevol che ci ha fornito tantissime informazioni. Comodo per tutti i servizi e a 10 min dal centro. L'unica pecca.....4 piani a piedi per tornare a casa! :p
This is a very well situated apartment although not easy to find at first, the room is clean, quiet and warm, also the host Sven has a interesting life story that is a great 'icebreaker' when talking to Danes. I will be staying here again.

A year after Snowden revelations, damage persists to freedom of expression in Pakistan
In Pakistan, where freedom of expression is largely perceived as a Western notion, the Snowden revelations have had a damaging effect. The deeply polarized narrative has become starker as the corridors of power push back on attempts to curb government surveillance. "If the citizens of the United States of America cannot have these rights, how can you? .." is an argument that rights advocate hear way too often. The Snowden revelations quickly became a moment of recognition for those otherwise labeled as conspiracy theorists who believed that all digital transmissions become a tool that can be used by the U.S. government. Unlike, for example, Brazil, which has fought back, the government of Pakistan is working on ways it could replicate a NSA-like model in this country.

Re: THE gluten-free thread
I've been using Cup4Cup - a gluten-free flour blend formulated by the pastry chef for The French Laundry. It's great for baking cookies, pizza, pasta, cakes, muffins, etc. It contains xantham gum and milk products. Yesterday, I used it to make The French Laundry's chocolate chunk cookies and fresh pasta for spinach ravioli.

Re: THE gluten-free thread
I adapted Jamie's 'Cheat's Pizza' recipe from Thirty Minute Meals last night. I used Cup4Cup flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 2 tsp. olive oil and 1/4 C. more water than the recipe states and a pinch of salt to the dough, pressed it in to a enameled cast iron Le Creuset pan. I used the last of my pizza sauce, sliced onions, crisp bacon, mushrooms and cheddar for toppings. The other adjustment was to cook it at 232 C./ 450 F. after it cooked on the stove a bit and then broiled just briefly so the edges would not burn. My broiler is almost too hot, if that's possible.

Homemade Gluten-free ravioli using Cup 4 Cup all-purpose flour

Asia's most influential IT leaders
Page Tools
Selecting Asias most successful IT directors is akin to picking the best fruit from a basket of cherries, apples and oranges.
How can one compare the IT setup of a manufacturing firm, where lean production methods are prized, with that of a gambling services operator, which focuses more on top-line growth?
Besides, IT directors across the region have diverse experiences, priorities and management challenges. They work under a variety of economic pressures, market dynamics and government regulations. Their difficulties are compounded by todays maddening pace of change and the multiple schools of thought that exist on management.
This partly explains why CIOs have been on a roller-coaster ride in the past few years. They swing from having central control to playing second fiddle to the finance department and having most IT jobs outsourced.
But there are increasing signs IT departments are regaining favour from corporate boards and bringing work previously outsourced back in-house for strategic reasons.
For starters, JP Morgan Chase & Co in September prematurely ended a seven-year, US$5 billion outsourcing contract with IBM. The second largest bank in the US apparently believes that IT is now too important to be left to an outsider. In our January/February cover story on shared services, Telekom Malaysias group CIO Ahmad Azhar Yahya also said he had deliberately stayed away from outsourcing for the same reasons.
Laying aside industry differences and erratic board decisions, its generally agreed that the fundamental quality that makes an IT head valuable to his company and stand out among his peers is strong business acumen.
"A good CIO must be able to ensure that their organisation can use technology strategically and generate business intelligence that gives the company a competitive edge," says Chu Hong Keong, CIO of HSBC Malaysia and a member of MIS Asias editorial advisory board. In this first of a two-part series, MIS Asia interviews some of the regions most influential IT chiefs with strategic business responsibilities in their organisations. In this issue, we talk to six IT directors from North Asia about their views of leadership, management and technologys role in business. Part two will focus on their prominent counterparts in Southeast Asia.
These leaders stand out not just because of the size and success of their companies. They have been in the news for spearheading the use of technology in their industries. Their projects are constantly followed in the media-and vendors heed their call for product improvements.
As members of professional and civic bodies, their influence extends beyond the IT community. Governments recognise them for their contributions to economic growth and for their inventiveness. These chieftains are also known for tirelessly nurturing their successors.
Of all the influential IT leaders from North Asia, Daniel Lai, IT head of Hong Kong transport operator MTR Corporation, speaks the most passionately about grooming a future generation of business-savvy IT professionals. A key member of the Hong Kong Computer Society, Lai is always sniffing out the best business training programs for young talents. He is also the first and only IT person to be honoured by the Hong Kong administrative government for his business astuteness.
If there were another award for business ingenuity, it could well go to Wang Qiang, the ambitious IT chief of automaker FAW-Volkswagen. He is championing a new build-to-order manufacturing concept that is set to revolutionalise the way the car business operates in China.
Of course, our list is not complete. There are many more deserving CIOs, some of whom were media-shy and turned down the opportunity to be interviewed.

|st: New command in SSC: -checkfor2-
|Mon, 19 Sep 2005 12:18:58 -0400
Dear stata members, Thanks to Prof. Baum, a new Stata command is available from the SSC archives: -checkfor2- A Stata module to check whether a variable exists or not in a dataset. Description: checkfor2 is a routine to check for existence of a list of variables within a (usually big) data set. checkfor2 searchs through the data whether the variable exists. If it does not, a message is issued. If it does, the program looks for missings structure. Finally, if requested, the program stores the available variables in a macro for future use. A tolerance level for missings could also be set. To install the package, type: .ssc install checkfor2 Best regards Amadou. Amadou B. Diallo. Poverty and Health Specialist. PREM, The World Bank. Washington, DC. Tel: 202 458 0288 -----firstname.lastname@example.com wrote: ----- To: <firstname.lastname@example.com> From: "R.E.

DESCRIPTION -svyselmlog- estimates the parameters of the main equation correcting for selectivity using the conditional probabilities from a multinomial logit. -svyselmlog- allows for three parametric selectivity-correction methods like the ones developed in Lee (1984), Durbin and McFadden (1984) and Bourguignon, Fournier and Gurgand (2004). Additionally, selectivity can be adjusted following Dahl's (2002) semi-parametric method. -svybsamp2- Re-sampling for complex survey data DESCRIPTION -svybsamp2- creates a new data set with _N randomly drawn observations (with replacement). As with -svysamp-, the procedure respects survey design, re-sampling within different combinations of strata and PSU. Therefore using the inflation factors (pweights), the new sample can be used to get to the original "super-population". To install the packages, type: .ssc install svyselmlog .ssc install svybsamp2 Rafa ________________________ R.E.
