Mo on Soap
I enjoy texture in my soap usually so over the years have gone back to Figs and Leaves time and time again. And spent quite a long time using Porridge too - both lovely on the skin either in the bath or shower. I have a selection of all our soaps around the house so I can keep an eye on their performance, which means I ring the changes depending on where I am. Currently beside the kitchen sink are Ice Blue and Sandstone. I've popped Godmother and Rock Star beside my daughter's shower - she's away at the moment so it helps keep the room fresh-smelling also. I'm looking forward to removing some of the less popular soaps in the range and working on something new.

David Hosier found guilty of 2009 Jefferson City murder
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - A jury found David Hosier guilty of a Jefferson City double murder.
Both sides wrapped up their arguments in court Wednesday and handed the case to the jury around 3:30 p.m. The trial, which was supposed to take up to two weeks, lasted only three days.
Just before 5 p.m., a jury found Hosier guilty on all four counts.
The defense only called two witnesses to testify and Hosier did not take the stand.
Hosier was charged with first-degree murder, first-degree burglary, armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a firearm in shooting deaths of 61-year-old Rodney Gilpin and his wife, 45-year-old Angela Gilpin, in Jefferson City in September 2009.
A jury was selected last week in St. Charles County. The trial has been delayed twice because not enough potential jurors could be found in Cass and Clay counties.
Hosier and Angela Gilpin had an affair but she was trying to reconcile with her husband when the couple was found shot to death at her apartment in September 2009.
Hosier was charged in both killings, and the jury heard testimony about both. But the judge clarified Wednesday that this week's trial was only for Angela's death. The status of the case in Ronald's death is unclear.

Coal mining applicants call job postings a fraud
NORTON, Va. - 3,000 people applied for coal mining jobs through Professional Contracting in Norton, Virginia.
Many people are calling fraud on the promised positions. We sat down with the president of professional contracting and got the answers on what is happening and Eddie Estep said he would follow through with his promise. "800 jobs that were mentioned, 800 jobs will be filled. 50 of them are filled right now," said Estep.
However, Estep says the jobs aren't necessarily for coal right now. "They may have been a carpenter at one time. If they're a carpenter you can place them in a carpenter's job, they get a check and then when everything comes forth with mining, you pull them back into mining," said Estep.
Estep told us the process to reopen a coal mine takes time. "People can't be employed overnight, it just doesn't happen that way," he said.
He says they are working to put the mines in a different name, rather than opening a brand new one to save on costs.
We went and spoke with Randy Moore, the Chief for the Virginia Department of Mines, who told us he hasn't seen any paperwork for the reopening and says nothing can move forward without it. "Companies can come in and do a buy-out and they assume those permits, but still that's a lengthy process, could take up to a month," said Moore.
Estep told us he had an investor back out, which has put a strain on moving things forward, along with rumors Estep says aren't true. "Nobody was ever charged to come in here, this is not an employment company," he said.
Estep says he has other investors and is continuing to find jobs for coal miners until the mines are opened up.
Both the Wise County Sheriff's Office and the Norton Police Department said no one has complained about the company yet and said they encourage anyone who thinks there might be a problem to report it.

This is simply idiotic and simply not true Hakeem Nicks is better then Dez Bryant
This is simply idiotic and simply not true Hakeem Nicks is better then Dez Bryant
Dez is physically gifted there's no denying that but...mental preparation is just as important as if not more than talent. Dez still doesn't know all of the routes in Dallas's playbook and he's not helping himself off the filed either.
Skip is a known Cowboy lover and he talks up Tony Romo every offseason. This is just more him promoting them for the offseason championship they win every year.
"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."
If he completely cleans up, he will be a 1400+ yard receiver in the future. Super talented.
Bayless is a moron. Nuff said. As long as Tebow is playing for an AFC team. His Super Bowl Pics are easy. Tebow's team vs Arlington Cowturds. And, yes I said Arlington. The Cowturds play in Arlington Texas. Located in Tarrant County. They have nothing to do with Dallas.
I already covered Stadium location. Official Ticket Phone # is an 817 area code. Tarrant county again. Practice Facility, and Corporate Offices Valley Ranch in Irving Texas. And, I happen to live in Arlington Texas.
1970's tv is better than today's tv.
If he cleans up his act and trains really hard he could be. He said Calvin Johnson, not Jerry Rice
Dez Bryant's mother is skip's dealer. Everyone knows that.
Skip is moron and idiot..he's romo cowboys...and brady sucker....
It's funny how quickly some of you forget that Skip Bayless was one of the biggest Cowboys bashers just a few years ago, and has been for the majority of his career.
Skip Bayless just says things to shock people.
And, why so shocked? IF Dez Bryant ever reaches his full potential, I don't see why he wouldn't be as good as Calvin Johnson.


text: soupcan, you're right about not moving them in really cold weather, however, if the alternative is that they die because their cluster is too small, I would take my chances with bringing them into a little warmer area. What PAHunter could do is bring them into the basement for a couple hours to let them reorganize themselves after the move, keep them in the dark if possible. Then move them the short distance into the garage and again keep them in a dark place. Anything you can do to keep the hive around 40 or low 40's is best for them to not be too active, and yet they can still get to food. John

iPhone Review: Mirror's Edge
Posted on 19th Sep 2010 at 08:33 by Joe Martin with 1 comments
It's mainly because of the type of game that Mirror's Edge is. Like Super Quick Hook it's a fast-paced racer with exploration elements as you search for secrets and new paths through the levels. The levels are short and slick, flying by in a matter of minutes. It's a game for filling train journeys, not for keeping your hands busy while you watch TV.
It's an important and often glossed-over distinction, I think. The iPad is

OK, so the reason I couldn't find the queen, and there was no brood of any kind in the brood chamber? Yep, queen trapped above the excluder, one honey super full of brood. I figure she dropped down onto one with the opened hive stacked last time.
(For MB, all you "honey excluder" and continuous broodnest people... all together, with feeling: "I told you so". Thanks )
Anyway here's my newbie quandry. I'm requeening next week, so I was in the hive today to check stores and to cage up the queen (both to break the brood cycle, and so I can pop her out in the evening easily and introduce the new lady in the morning). I caged her in the lower deep, what used to be the brood box. I left out the excluder (what's the use with the queen caged), and left the broody honey super just over the stores deep. See diagram (you may have to expand the window th read the labels):
Need I put the brood closer to the (caged) queen? I'd like to not leave that shallow on for the winter, so if they'll hatch out the brood to later join the new (laying) queen below but still keep the queen alive for a week, I'd just as soon use this setup and go into winter with just the two deeps. There's a good population of bees; I think they could fill both areas adequately. It's hot daytimes here, 50s at night.
Good plan or fool's errand?
<edit> And also, I should start feeding now, a week in advance of introduction, right? That's why there's a deep on top of the Tarheit-inspired ventilation box, for a gallon mason jar.

Feedback letter to Developers Part 2[ Edited ]
This is a follow up feedback letter since my last input a few days ago which can be read here...
After more time spent with the game, I've come up with a few more things that I thought might be worth sharing. I'm a level 30 with Zeus so I can assure you I have put in the time to justify writing a long post. I apologize in advance if any of this is repeating what has already been said in other posts. Anywho...
1. I noticed in a vidoc (maybe desert of lost souls part 2?) that regarding traps, players were once able to press and "hold" traps as opposed to "setting" them or "activating" them. By this I mean the camera would pull out, giving a much broader view of nearby enemies, while the player held back the lever for however long he/she desired, waiting to release just before an enemy ran over the trapping area. This seemed far more effective than what is currently in place regarding the setting/activating of traps. My initial thought after seeing this in the vidoc was "why would they remove this feature?" I have many other friends playing in the beta who felt the same regarding the traps. Some of them are just completely awful with the combat and were hoping to find another way to contribute. After playing the beta, many of them have lost interest for they feel the traps aren't effective enough as it stands now and they wouldn't have fun getting killed over and over without contributing in some way. One friend of mine put it best..."It's still too much like Call of Duty for those of us who aren't as effective with the combat. We don't stand a chance. People like me need it more like Battlefield. Another avenue to contribute." He was hoping traps would fill the gap.
2. Often times during the cinematic of the spear coming down, I am mid combat and before the cinematic is over I am dead. This has become incredibly frustrating to the point that when the countdown for gods intervening appears, I run from whoever I'm fighting just to make sure I don't die during the cutscene. I've also noticed if I begin capturing a point during this period, my character will continue to capture it even though it's supposed to be a "no-play" period. It seems unfair and during some cases can make the difference in a win/loss.
3. I use the relic/item that grants magic for winning the chest minigame. This, combined with "zeus lightning cone shot from hands" magic ability has led me to getting 8+ kills a game. I'm not complaining about it, I'm just bringing it to your attention that with this combo, I have been able to spam magic and kill lots of dudes to the point that I wonder while playing if this type of spamming is what the devs intended.
4. Any time someone drops out of the game or the teams are unbalanced (3 vs 4), it's usually a blow out. Now sometimes a solid team can pull off a win with the odds against them, but more often than not it's not even fun because of the handicap. Just having a computer AI that sucks thrown in there to fill the gap would benefit simply because it's another body out there distracting the enemy.
5. Sometimes when trying to "set" a trap, I continuoulsy push the R1 button to interact with the lever, and once the animaiton begins, I then hold the R1 button, yet it only "activates" the trap as opposed to "setting" the trap. What I mean by this is why can't I choose to "set" the trap instead of "activating" it by holding down R1 after I've already tapped it? The animation seems long enough that one would be able to do this. What often happens is I accidentaly "activate" the trap, have to wait for it to do it's thing, wait for the lever to reset, then make sure I hold the R1 button from the get go to "set" it.
6. When fighting on the lower level of Desert of lost souls, I sometimes will wear a dude down to maybe 10 percent health only to have him run away and jump onto the wall, climbing up to safety. If he outruns me, he outruns me and that's fine, but when he's clearly in my range and my chain simply wont pull him down, that feels cheap to me. I can't tell if my chain simply isn't registering with the enemy or if it's just not possible to pull someone off the wall once they've started climbing above your sword swing's height. Either way, it's frustrating.
7. I wish there was some sort of time limit on the spear of olympus. Sometimes I encounter an enemy team who immediately grabs the spear and just holds on to it for the rest of the match, punishing anyone who comes near with 2 or 3 spear throws that lead to death. It's nearly impossible to kill the guy with the spear because he's so powerful and once he has it, it rules out the possibility of us getting it to make up that 1000 points to catch up. I just wish that it had maybe a 45 second time limit before it disappeared much like the hammers and boots of hermes. That way players couldn't spam its ridiculous power.
8. Why no points for assists? Many times I beat the crap out of a guy after a long fought battle only to have a teammate kill him with one quick easy swipe. The system in battlefield 3 worked great cause you got damage points even if someone else killed the guy. You do 85% damage, you get 85 points. Some other guy does 25% damage but gets the kill? He gets 50 points (25 for damage and 25 bonus for kill.)
This is all just nitpicking like my first letter. I just wanted to throw some feedback to you guys since that's the whole point of the beta. I hope that this stuff was helpful in some way.

Re: Feedback letter to Developers Part 2[ Edited ]
@hey_there_panda 1st Off, You Still Haven't Added Me ! Are You Going To ? If Not, Then Let Me Know In Front Of Every1 .Lol
I Feel Strongly About #8 As Well, In UC3's MP You Get $ Value For Assisting A Kill (Or Inflicting The Majority Of Damage To The Enemy Without Actually Finishing Him Off.)
I Think I Might Have A Solution To This; Why Not Have At 1, 3, & 5 Assist Kills A Sort Of Power-Up To Make The Player Feel He Is At Least Being Awarded When His Kill/s Are Technically 'Stolen' By His Teammates ?
At 1 Assist Kill: The Warrior Is Awarded 25% Increase Of Either Physical Defense Or Elemental Defense Depending On His Allegiance .
At 3 Assist Kills: The Warrior Is Awarded 50% Health
At 5 Assist Kills: The Warrior Is Awarded 50% Magic
At 7 Assist Kills: The Warrior Is Awarded 50% Health + 50% Increase In Either Physical Attack Or Elemental Attack Depending On His Allegiance .

Re: Feedback letter to Developers Part 2
Friend request accepted. Regarding the assist points, anything would be better than nothing at this point. There are just too many situations in this game that lack rewarding. Sometimes I'll hang around a capture point that my team has posession of, when 2 or 3 enemies are trying to capture it. I might not kill any of the enemies, but I'll keep them busy for at least a minute or two while continuously knocking them off the capture point even after they've taken down our capture 25% or so. How about small amounts of points for defending a capture point by keeping the enemy team at bay? I feel that players who do this are truly helping the team and yet recieve no reward for it.

Re: Feedback letter to Developers Part 2
Re: Feedback letter to Developers Part 2[ Edited ]
What? Getting that pretty "x5 Assisted" message across your screen isn't enough!? I'm of course being sarcastic here...
Good points, panda...but regarding your Zeus comments...he MIGHT be OP but I am thinking he's just user friendly. R2...L1+Square/Triiangle with the hammmer...brutal spells. But I throw some Elemental Defense on my Ares warrior and can live through those things. Generally, if a guy's elemental power is high enough to hurt me bad, his defense is low enough that I can kill him with a combo and a followup (If I have my hammer equipped anyways). He MIGHT be balanced, just easier to use.
Yes, that spear is a pain in Team Favor of the Gods...Though I'd suggest making the wielder a bit more susceptible to interruption or make him slower to move/attack. That way, hanging onto the spear is a risk/reward situation as opposed to now, where it's a ppurely reward situation if wielded right. Grabbing a few easy kills then killing that cyclops is much too easy to pull of with that thing in hand.
Re: Feedback letter to Developers Part 2
I really like your idea regarding the spear having a risk/reward system. Slowing the player down or extending the recharge time before another spear throw would help the balance immensely. I would love it if you guys would check out my first feedback letter that I posted the link to in my initial post. I'd like to hear other people's suggestions regarding some issues I pointed out because, like this one you pointed out with the spear, is much better than my initial idea of a time limit on possessing it. Also, I had many questions about the function or interactivity with Polyphemus that maybe someone here coudl shed some light on. Please check it out. Thanks.

At the beginning of the Cold War, adults saw comic books as contributors to juvenile delinquency and bureaucrats saw them acting to subvert "American" values. This concern led to U.S. Senate hearings and the publishers' defensive creation of the Comic Codes Authority in 1954. Wrapped around this timeframe, Comic Books and the Cold War, 1946-1962: Essays on Graphic Treatment of Communism, the Code and Social Concerns explores the change in comic books with atomic anxieties, the nuclear family and the communist threat. The book is a collection of essays edited by brothers Chris and Rafiel York.
While some of the comics told stories of direct confrontation between the forces of good (America) and evil (everybody else), some were much more subtle. Or at least some of the essayists want us to believe that theory. Frederick A. Wright's essay on the Flash comics, "I Can Pass Right Through Solid Matter!" suggests that the superhero was able to contain anything that threatened the American way of life, while also being free of restrictions. Bank robbers could be viewed as "the capitalist fear of communist system's redistributing the wealth." In the age of intercontinental missiles with only minutes between launch and death, who better to save the world than the strength of Superman or the speed of the Flash?

Chronic immune activation is a central feature of HIV-infection, and the degree of activated T-cells is a better predictor of disease progression and mortality than plasma viral load. The study hypothesis is that the anti-inflammatory substance etoricoxib will dampen chronic immune activation and improve the effect of T-cell dependent vaccines in HIV-1 infected patients.
The aim of the present study is to explore the efficacy of the study drug on markers of immune activation and vaccine responses, as well as safety of the study drug, in HIV-infected patients not receiving antiretroviral therapy.

Detailed Description:
The current trial was based on our observations that augmented levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) contribute to the T cell dysfunction in HIV-infected patients. In T cells, cAMP triggers a protein kinase A (PKA) - Csk - Lck inhibitory pathway that inhibits the proximal T cell receptor (TCR) signaling events. This mechanism may also be involved in the inhibitory function of regulatory T cells.
The investigators have hypothesized that elevated levels of cAMP in T cells from HIV-infected individuals result from increased production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) following activation-induced expression of cyclooxygenase type 2 (COX-2) in lymphoid tissues. Although the investigators have identified even COX-2 positive T cells in HIV-infected individuals, activated monocytes may be the major source of PGE2; high levels of COX-2 are produced de novo after a number of stimuli, particularly lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Circulating LPS is indeed increased in untreated chronic HIV infection due to enhanced translocation of microbial material and correlates to chronic immune activation and disease progression.
In three preceding clinical explorative trials, the investigators have demonstrated that COX-2 inhibition by COX-2 inhibitors (COX-2i) improves the immune functions of HIV patients, the first two studies included patients on antiretroviral treatment (ART). In the third trial the investigators also showed for the first time that treatment with a COX-2i was able to downregulate chronic immune activation and improve T cell functions (efficacy of T cell-dependent vaccine) in asymptomatic HIV-infected patients who did not use ART. In these patients, chronic immune activation was dampened as demonstrated; CD38 density on CD8+ T cells (primary endpoint) decreased by 24% by study week 12. This reduction could be extrapolated to a possible improvement of CD4+ T cell loss with 30 CD4 cells per ul per year with an approximate mean CD4 loss of 60 per ul per year. These data founded the basis for further support to this study through the GLOBVAC call program under the Norwegian Research Council (granted application for the current study).

People around the world,
My name is Noah Bangs. I have set up a petition for the white house on petitions.whitehouse.gov, because I have discovered the cold, hard truth about energy companies.
Back in the 1800's, Russian inventor Nikola Tesla found a way to use perpetual motion to generate infinite, clean energy. But, greedy energy companies shunned this invention because they were afraid of losing profit.
Money isn't everything, though.
If this petition reaches the president or congress, we could see a huge change in the world today. Cars that don't require fuel, more businesses and enterprises, clear ozone, etc.
We could literally eliminate electricity bills forever.
Sign and share this petition if you agree.

I wasn't sure whether it was actually making MS better or just slowing it down. Thanks for clarifying. I have an aunt with MS, and maybe I should mention this to her. Does anyone have a link to a well-thought-out report on bee stings and MS?

I wasn't sure whether it was actually making MS better or just slowing it down. Thanks for clarifying. I have an aunt with MS, and maybe I should mention this to her. Does anyone have a link to a well-thought-out report on bee stings and MS?
well, i have BEEN stung, and it didn't help. I hesitate to get stung too often because I am concerned that I might develope an allergy to honey bee stungs.
I have also heard the reports, perhaps it works better on some people than on others.
MS is an auto immune disease, and diabetes might have an autoimmune componant. I have both. Allergies are ALSO an autoimmune problem, and I get allergy shots to prevent asthma in the spring.
Tysabri is the hottest new MS drug, but I tried it and I am allergic to THAT, too! :rolleyes: I got hives. The neurologist is pretty sure I CAN take it if it is given after steroids and antihystamined, but he wants somebody else to be the guinea pig. He would be willing to try in a year or so, after someone else had done it.
On the GREAT side, they have found that some statins (commonly given for high cholesterol) have shown a 44% reduction in the lesions from MS, after only 3 months. They are running tests on human subjects right now.
I am currently on an anticholesterol med, (not a statin) so on Monday I will call my Doctor about switching to one of the statins. They have also changed my MS meds to something hopefully more effective.
I think the sting therapy is area-specific. Getting stung in the hand doesn't help back pain, etc. Maybe that's why you didn't notice any relief.
Sting therapy is also cumulative, and both frequency of stings and time allowed for the venom sac to inject poison are components in effectiveness.
east, also it does show promise, both for MS and diabetic (or other caused) neuropathy, in improving the situation rather than just slowing or stopping symptom progression.
Terri, it is not an ALWAYS thing, and I'd seek a doctor's advise first if I were in your situation, but reactions to bee stings, unlike many allergic reactions, are often, perhaps usually, regressive, that is degree of allergic sensitivity goes down rather than up. As a teen I was extremely allergic to bee stings, but now a sting never results in more than very localized reddening (perhaps an inch diameter circle) that is gone in 10-15 minutes. This is with my removing the stinger immediately...I'm not sure exactly what would happen if I let it sit there and pump away till empty, but I'm probably going to start finding out in the next week or two. I have arthritis in both knees and am going to try sting therapy for it and see what happens.
Later...right now it's back to the bee yard.
From the study that I read (someone here had the link), after 2 seconds or so you've gotten almost all of the poison anyway. Doesn't hurt to let it pump a bit longer though. The danger is that the barb works it's way deeper as it goes.
I use venom theorpy for my back injury. It works great on the muscle spasms. I hope it helps the nerves rebuild.
Hillbilly, I raise mushrooms too and there is a particular mushroom that shows promise at stimulating nerve regeneration as well. I don't raise the particular type of mushroom and don't remember the name, but I'll look it up in the next couple of days and let you know what it is.
Well, east_stingray, I will finish my Rheumatology Fellowship in May. My dad kept a few bees when I was a kid (1980s), and I alway wanted to try it myself. After I finished medicial school and finally having a modist income I bought 2 hives (new) and package bees. Since then I'm up to 22 hives. Two of those hives are my dad's. Last summer he entered his honey in the Arkansas State Fair and won "Best in Show." His side-line job is as a cattle farmer. Now, he is more famous as a beekeeper. I think he enjoys having people ask him about the bees.
I've looked at beekeeping as a profit but there are too many variables for me. If you plan to become a specialist you could indirectly make beekeeping profitable. You send a couple jars of honey (spring/fall) and maybe a candle to all the physicians in your area as Christmas gifts. They remember you as the "bee guy." You will make much more money from having them know your name than beekeeping would ever bring you.
By the way, as a specialist in immune system diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, I wonder if lack of exposure to the environment (such as lack of bee stings) may play a role in the initiation of immune mediated processes. Rheumatoid arthritis did not exists prior to about 250 years ago. This is proven by the lack of erosive changes in skeletons from folks who died prior to then. Now it's in all races and continents. There are no infectious etiologies linked to it. The underlying problem is in the immune system attacking the joints. Maybe we just need to "exercise" our immune systems by being exposed to certain things in the environment to keep it from turning on us. Remember, idle hands are the devil's workshop.
As for bee venom therapy, if you are not allergic and it makes you happy go ahead and do it. That's all I have to say about that.

El apartamento está muy bien, es cómodo, limpio y tiene muchos detalles para hacer la estancia agradable. La zona es tranquila y con servicios cerca.
No tuvimos la suerte de conocer a la propietaria en persona, porque estaba disfrutando de sus vacaciones, pero en todo momento estuvo pendiente de nuestras necesidades, contactando con nosotros por email y facilitándonos contactos por si necesitábamos algo.
Gemütliches, geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Apartment. An alles wurde gedacht - hier fehlte einfach nichts!! Sehr nette und zuvorkommende Gastgeberin !
Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder !
Eine sehr schöne, gepflegte Wohnug, die für ein Paar wunderbar passt.Um Fragen und Wünsche hat sich Ingela stets zuvorkommend und schnell gekümmert. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
come prima esperienza è stata davvero ottima! la casa in un quartiere tranquillo, tenuta bene, pulita e molto confortevole, ringrazio Ingela per l'accoglienza e l'ospitalità, ci si sente a casa propria e non manca davvero nulla! Ha tutte le comodità possibili, anche la metro è dietro l'angolo e in 5 min ti porta in centro! Bella anche la sensazione di casa al ritorno la sera, stanchi ma felici di aver visitato una città unica...
A nice appartment for a very good price!
Metrostation was 3 minutes walking. 10 minutes later you enter the beautiful city center of Wien. The host is very friendly and helpfull.
In the appartment a lot of information and citymaps.
No complaints, only a positive experience!
We had a good stay. Appertment was clean end well furnished/equiped. The four available beds were good as well. The extra bed for the fifth person was not that good.
The owner gave nice extra advise and is really involved.
Location of appartment near Underground is perfect.
Actually we were in flat 10. We had a pretty nice stay and felt very comfortable. The flat is well equipped, super clean and quiet. There are even 2 mobile phones in the flat which can be used to call each other for free. It is perfectly located to the subway "Meidling Hauptstrasse". The correspondence with Ingela was very pleasant and always prompt. We do highly recommend Ingela and the flat. Br, Georg
We had a wonderful stay at this flat during our autumn vacation, all thanks to our fantastic host. The apartment is spacious, clean and has all the facilities that one could possibly need during a vacation. It has one large bedroom and two small ones, so there was ample space for the four of us, 2 adults and 2 teenage kids. It was convenient with 1 bathroom with a toilet and an additional smaller toilet. The flat has also a large well-equipped kitchen. There is an air-conditioner in the living room. That worked fine as well.
The apartment is very conveniently located, very close to the Meidling Hauptstrasse U4 underground station. The city centre could be reached from there by the U4 line in about 15 minutes. There are also a number of supermarkets, cafes and restaurants in the neighbourhood. So no problems with shopping for food and other necessities.
Lastly, but not the least, we were privileged to have a fantastic host, Ingela. She is efficient, considerate and, given her concern for details, ensures that her guests have a pleasant stay in her flat. Ingela very kindly provided us with 2 free local mobile phones and a computer in addition to maps and other necessary information in a ring binder so that we could get around without any inconvenience.
If we visit Vienna in future we would very much like to rent the apartment again. And we would certainly like to recommend the apartment to any potential visitors who would like to have great stay in beautiful Vienna !
das Apartment befindet sich in einer verkehrsgünstige Lage.
U-Bahnstation in der Nähe!
die Gastgeberin, Ingela hat uns die notwendige Informationen persönlich übermittelt!
Für einen Kurztrip nach Wien ist diese Adresse eine gute Wahl..auch für 2-3 Tage eine Empfehlung!
Gruß und wir kommen gerne wieder!!

|Summary File 3 Technical Documentation -> Appendix C. Data Collection and Processing Procedures -> Glossary -> Imputation
When information is missing or inconsistent, the Census Bureau uses a method called imputation to assign values. Imputation relies on the statistical principle of "homogeneity," or the tendency of households within a small geographic area to be similar in most characteristics. For example, the value of "rented" is likely to be imputed for a housing unit not reporting on owner/renter status in a neighborhood with multiunits or apartments where other respondents reported "rented" on the census questionnaire. In past censuses, when the occupancy status or the number of residents was not known for a housing unit, this information was imputed.
Internet Questionnaire Assistance (IQA)
An operation which allows respondents to use the Census Bureau's Internet site to (1) ask questions and receive answers about the census form, job opportunities, or the purpose of the census and (2) provide responses to the short form.
Interpolation frequently is used in calculating medians or quartiles based on interval data and in approximating standard errors from tables. Linear interpolation is used to estimate values of a function between two known values. Pareto interpolation is an alternative to linear interpolation. In Pareto interpolation, the median is derived by interpolating between the logarithms of the upper and lower income limits of the median category. It is used by the Census Bureau in calculating median income within intervals wider than $2,500.

|Social Explorer, U.S. Census Bureau; 2000 Census of Population and Housing, Summary File 3: Technical Documentation, 2002.
|Summary File 3 Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Definitons of Subject Characteristics -> Housing Characteristics -> Vacancy Status
The data on vacancy status were obtained from Enumerator Questionnaire Item C. Vacancy status and other characteristics of vacant units were determined by census enumerators obtaining information from landlords, owners, neighbors, rental agents, and others. Vacant units are subdivided according to their housing market classification as follows:
For rent
These are vacant units offered "for rent," and vacant units offered either "for rent" or "for sale."
For sale only
These are vacant units offered "for sale only," including units in cooperatives and condominium projects if the individual units are offered "for sale only." If units are offered either "for rent" or "for sale," they are included in the "for rent" classification.
Rented or sold, not occupied
If any money rent has been paid or agreed upon but the new renter has not moved in as of the date of enumeration, or if the unit has recently been sold but the new owner has not yet moved in, the vacant unit is classified as "rented or sold, not occupied."
For seasonal, recreational, or occasional use
These are vacant units used or intended for use only in certain seasons, for weekends, or other occasional use throughout the year. Seasonal units include those used for summer or winter sports or recreation, such as beach cottages and hunting cabins. Seasonal units also may include quarters for such workers as herders and loggers. Interval ownership units, sometimes called shared-ownership or time-sharing condominiums, also are included in this category.
For migrant workers
These include vacant units intended for occupancy by migrant workers employed in farm work during the crop season. (Work in a cannery, a freezer plant, or a food-processing plant is not farm work.)
Other vacant
If a vacant unit does not fall into any of the categories specified above, it is classified as "other vacant." For example, this category includes units held for occupancy by a caretaker or janitor, and units held for personal reasons of the owner.
Available housing
Available housing units are vacant units that are "for sale only" or "for rent."
Available housing vacancy rate
The available housing vacancy rate is the proportion of the housing inventory that is available "for sale only" or "for rent." It is computed by dividing the number of available units by the sum of occupied units and available units, and then multiplying by 100. This measure is rounded to the nearest tenth.
Homeowner vacancy rate
The homeowner vacancy rate is the proportion of the homeowner housing inventory that is vacant "for sale." It is computed by dividing the number of vacant units "for sale only" by the sum of owner-occupied units and vacant units that are "for sale only," and then multiplying by 100. This measure is rounded to the nearest tenth.
Rental vacancy rate
The rental vacancy rate is the proportion of the rental inventory that is vacant "for rent." It is computed by dividing the number of vacant units "for rent" by the sum of renter-occupied units and vacant units that are "for rent," and then multiplying by 100. This measure is rounded to the nearest tenth.
Data on vacancy status have been collected since 1940. Since 1990, the category, "For seasonal, recreational, or occasional use," has been used. In earlier censuses, separate categories were used to collect data on these types of vacant units. Also, in 1970 and 1980, housing characteristics generally were presented only for year-round units. Beginning in 1990 and continuing into Census 2000, housing characteristics are shown for all housing units.

Well, I watched this video more times than I'd like to admit. There is really nothing you can conclude. To me, it seems that Tony Stewart is going at a constant speed. Kevin Ward approaches the car. Then you can no longer see Kevin Ward and the car jumps towards the side where Ward is. My hypothesis is that Ward continued to move toward Stewart's car and the rear tire struck him. The tire was unable to rotate on the right cause the still rotating back left tire to jump the car towards Ward. It really all depends on when Ward was struck which there is no possible way to see from the video.
Posted at 11:29 PM on August 24, 2014
Constant speed? I see it and hear it accelerate. The cars are under caution and that means go slow and be aware of a potential hazard. Stewarts defenders simply can't come to terms with the fact that his little spray message backfired. It's not the first time someone's tried confronting a driver by walking on a racetrack as foolish as it might be and another reason to be aware and go slow.
Posted at 11:42 PM on August 24, 2014
Watch the video again. The speed is constant until the vehicle jumps towards Ward. It may be that Stewart accelerated and that caused the jumped. Or, it may be that Ward got stuck in the right rear tire which caused the car to jump to the right as I explained. Or, it may be another explanation. I don't support any side but wanted to express a different hypothesis that I haven't seen yet. It is a tragedy for all.

Okay it was probably on purpose there i said it ! He is to good a driver to be involved in an accident twice in two laps to not know what he had done ! It's. Bulls hit to think it was just an accident and besides he put himself in.that position by his dirty driving track hog that he is!

"Probably" on purpose. There, you said it.
How can you know what was in Stewart's mind? Judge not lest ye be judged.
The boy was a fool for jumping out of his car during a night race on a muddy track wearing a black drivers suit. Yes, a caution was out; but drivers still speed to bunch up for the restart. Unless Stewart himself admits it was his intention to run down Ward, we can only conclude that it was an accident, the result of a young man's foolish, hot-headed behavior.

This is my last attempt at trying to help all of you to understand what it is like to drive a Sprint Car so you are not so quick to judge and sentence Tony Stewart. Yes Tony was in the middle of the track but if you notice he did swerve toward the in field, these cars do not have mirrors, it is not like driving your garden tractor while mowing your lawn. These cars weigh 1200 lbs+- and have 700HP+- that people is seriously lop sided hose power to weight ratio. Tap the accelerator and the back of the car wants to swing to the right, Tonys swung to the left. It is the way the car is designed to make left turns. I have reviewed this video at least 40-50 times if you notice car number 45 is in front of Tony Stewart, keep in mind Tony only has around 70 degrees of straight ahead vision depending on what racing seat he uses and what helmet restraint he uses also how dirty his tear away was at the time. Heck, his helmets face shield could have played a part in the tragic accident. The video shows 4 cars going well above caution speed in front of the 45 car so don't bark about the caution. During caution at least on my home track it is common to leave around 50 feet between cars to accelerate to keep the motors cool. Anyway, my condolences go out to both the Ward family as well as Tony Stewart. They do need prayers. This sport is very exciting. If there is a race in your area sometime try it. they are usually a pretty good deal for a family.
Trish, I do believe in Biblical times they fought in arenas to the death! With sticks that had balls with pointed spikes on them and swords….etc. I think I prefer driving a Sprint Car. LOL Have a great day everyone!

Something that Tony Stewart would be aware of.
Also people people seem to ignore the fact that the cars are capable of stopping which is what Stewart suddenly did after hitting the guy.
I'm not at all surprised he's already back in a race car. He made a statement that he hasn't raced for several weeks out of respect for Wards family. I wonder if he considered asking them what would be an appropriate period.

ndStephanie, please do not act as God in this situation in stating that since Tony was a cocky driver God had enough of him and said stop by having him kill a 20 yr old young man?!…Since we are made out of flesh, we ave no idea the thoughts of our God and His retributions…If you.want to blame anyone, blame NASCAR for allowing these men to get back at each other on the track. These sports like NASCAR, Baseball and especially Hockey say they do not condone bad sportsmanship but all the while, with a wink, they do allow their athletes to get back at each other on the field of play because its all about pumping up the drama and ratings. I am an ADVID sports fan but I HATE when these sports allow the athletes to go at it with each other and then they step in most of the times when someone gets hurt. I teach my children to play nice, sportsmanship and to have respect for the talent of their opponents.This world today, thinks that blood and retribution makes sports great but they are so wrong. Sportsmanship and respect for all those involved is the ultimate spectator's thrill, seeing good clean talented athletes giving all they got and playing with heart, not tempers.
Having said all of that, In my opinion Kevin Jr should have stayed in his car which would have been the best avoidance of this terrible tragedy, but since he got out his car and he was out on a track to which there was still cars motoring around track caution or no caution, NASCAR should have made everyone stop their cars where they were to ensure his safety…but as usual this sport doesn't take direct action unless someone gets hurt. These sports creates the so called "d**K's" and then acts like they are shocked something like this could happen!..I don't know Tony's heart or attentions but I would never say he did it with malice unless concrete proof of it…I pray that Jesus would comfort Kevins family and I also pray for Tony and his family as well..

This fatality occurred as the cars were being driven under a caution. I notice some dimwits argue that the cars are steered with the throttle as if they cannot be steered unless hitting the gas to point them. Well this might be true in race mode but under caution the cars were steering around a circular track without sliding oversteer under power without a problem until Stewart decided to hit the gas and buzz the victim. No intention to harm and only to niggle but he miscalculated.
What's the point of a caution flag? To make others aware that someone else is vulnerable on the race track. So Stewart needs to man up and take responsibility for his stupid action that resulted in someone's death. The fans and friends of of celebrities all too often blindly support their hero's without making them accountable for their misjudgement whether they're sport-stars or entertainers and as a result they are forgiven for anything while others without a high profile aren't.

Here I am again not defending Tony Stewart but trying to explain how a Open Wheel Sprint Car does function. I am a Sprint Car Driver. Depending on the track, the conditions, the weather, my cars setup, yes under a caution I do use the throttle to help steer the car. I am not saying Tony was not giving a little response to Mr. Wards finger pointing but hey who in their right mind is going to continue to walk toward a car into traffic (clearly shown in the videos). By the time Tony hits the accelerator Mr. Ward is well out of his field of vision but continues toward his car. What Mr. Wards intentions were we will never know but one thing I am sure of Tony Stewart is guilty of no crime or infraction at all. This certainly was tragic. But ask yourself this….would we even be here talking about this if Tony Stewart were not involved? I think NOT! I have a bent axle hanging on my shop wall and yes number 14 put me into the wall but I DID NOT GET OUT OF MY CAR!!!! People this kid should NEVER have gotten out of his car NEVER!!! He would still be ALIVE. Mr. Ward caused his own death by stupidity and immaturity. So put the in you pipe and smoke it. Now…put that in your pipes and smoke it!

kcspeedracer post:- , "I am not saying Tony was not giving a little response to Mr. Wards finger pointing",
I'll agree with that admission you don't appear to be defending Stewart.
But then when you say he is not guilty of any crime or infraction you are defending him. Stewart didn't have to send a little message. He could have observed the caution like everyone else.
Everyone else steered past observing caution without hitting the gas Stewart didn't.
This is exactly what Stewart needs to own up to and take responsibility for.
Sure you can blame the other guy for doing what others have done in the past as well by approaching competitors still in their cars but this doesn't dismiss Stewart's culpability as his fans and supporters hope it does.
I'm sure if the roles were reversed these same people would defend Stewart with my argument.

and those that HATE the celebs. will undoubtedly find fault in any and everything they do. as you are now doing to Tony Stewart. Don't you think this is hurting Tony's soul too? He took another mans life. I am NOT a Stewart fan, but right is right wrong is wrong and they were BOTH wrong that fateful night. Kevin had no business getting out of his car whatsoever. It's clear he was trying to be a bigger shot than Tony, and unfortunately it cost him his life. you say Stewart needs to man up and admit his wrong doing, Don't you think Kevin's family needs to do the same? I feel bad for them truly, but he should have stayed in his car. I never got out of my car till told it was safe to do so.
Posted at 6:33 PM on September 3, 2014
As to hating celebs. Whether it was Tiger Woods saying how his family was first and foremost in importance and getting acclaimed as a role model just days before the real Tiger is exposed or Lance Armstrong making that "That those don't dare to dream big I feel sorry for you" speech after having destroyed the dreams and lives of many others. Whether it's this stupid Justin Bieber kid and those other entertainment celebrities constantly going in to rehab with behaviour issues there is an epidemic amongst many in not taking responsibility for their actions. Along with all these over indulged personalities you have a society craving superficial reality shows and defending their pumped up hero's without questioning their shortcomings. If these people are to be seen as deserving role models then they should be required to live up to it or brought down.

Warren: I'm the first to hold accountable those celebrities who hold themselves above the rest of society. I won't watch a Christian Bale movie because of his seven minute tirade directed at someone offset during the filming of one of his Batman movies because the guy moved and caused him to break character. He later apologized after the recording when viral on YouTube, offering some lame excuse about what a terrible day he was having. Yeah, $20M a picture and he's having a bad day, while millions of Americans are out of work and living on the streets. An apology with an excuse is no apology at all.
But really? How does this fit in with Ward's death? I'm sure that Stewart would've been held accountable had the investigation revealed some intent on his part. You find Stewart at fault because he's a celebrity? That's ludicrous.

I don't know what video everbody else is watching but Stewart was intentionally trying to scare Ward by hitting the throttle which caused the car to hit Ward. I wish everybody would use common sense…… I would hope that NO human being would be this cruel, but the video tells it all. Stewart should be held accountable and should be ban from ever sitting in a race car again!
Posted at 8:22 PM on August 18, 2014
It's so funny that everyone is quick to jump on that "tony stewart" band wagon….. God already knows what really happened….our opinions dont matter….. either way Tony has lots to look forward too!!!!! RIP Kevin Ward Jr…. and I pray for God to comfort his mother…..I couldn't imagine losing my child…. :(

I agree…
Tony ( Highly experience Pro level Driver.) DID intend to intimidate this younger driver.
Perhaps he did miscalculate, BUT, the result is death to another human being.
MURDER by premeditated action to intimidate.
Tony Stewart deserves to go to prison. I am a NASCAR fan and all drivers have their
good points and bad. I have no prejudice for or against any drivers.
To hit and shove another car is one thing…But to hit another Human Being… (Sic)
HOWEVER, This IS MANSLAUGHTER. !!! Tony Stewart deserves to go to prison.
Even those who are fascinated by Tony Stewart must recognize his negative intentions….
Every driver on the track simply drove past Ward. Stewart was the only person to hit Ward's
body and kill him And Stewart is the one and only person who ran Ward into the wall.
Go FIGURE……

Kevin Ward could've avoided it, too, had he stayed in his car. Muddy track night race, poor visibility, he's in a black driver suit and decides to hop out of his car? Stewart, I'm pretty sure, didn't intentionally run this kid down. Ward's parents are grieving and they're angry at Stewart. Hopefully, in time, they'll come to conclude their son's role in his own death.

i totally agree with u. hes very experienced and he knws the in and outs of racing. my comment above says it all. plus hes known for being a hothead. he should be arrested for either vehicular manslaughter or attemped vehicular manslaughter. plus banned from racing indefinitely.
Posted at 12:06 PM on August 19, 2014
They're all hotheads, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon included. They, too, have put other drivers into a wall. Dale Earnhardt, Sr. was known as The Intimidator for his driving tactics, and he's in NASCAR's hall of fame.
It was a muddy track, and even if Stewart did push Ward into the wall, who really was the hothead? Stewart, or Ward for climbing out of his car on slick track at night wearing a black driver suit to point a finger at a speeding car? I'll say it again, this was avoidable had the kid but stayed in his car.

My heart goes out to the family of Kevin Ward Jr. But the fact remains that accidents do occur in racing when you move at high rates of speed. I have seen the video repeatedly and it does not look as though Tony swerved to intentionally hit Kevin Ward. The fact is that Kevin Ward Jr is solely responsible for stepping out of his car and onto the track into oncoming traffic. It was simply an unfortunate accident and Kevin Ward in fact caused his own death because of his own stupidity. Kevin's aunt should apologize to Tony for calling him a dick when the true dick in this situation was her very own nephew. I say Tony should not face any charges as he has to live with the fact of what this Kevin caused.

I am a firm believer that you are only allowed to do certain things, be a certain way, and live a certain way before God will intervene and show you you just who God is. If you are a racecar driver that enjoys wrecking people, putting them in the wall, doing whatever it takes to win that race at the expense of others….do you believe that God is approving of that?
Do you believe that God will not eventually put a stop to it all?
I have seen Tony Stewarts racing and i know that he is cocky, arrogant, and thinks of no one other than himsself when he is on the race track or any track for that matter. I also know that Tony enjoys shutting people up without saying a word or engaging in the use of physical contact.
What better way to show up Kevin Ward Jr. than to throw a little dirt in his face?
I know that hitting him was not part of the plan. All other cars on that track managed to avoid this kid except you Tony! Who would stomp the gas when all cars were at caution speed? Who would take the highest part of the track where Kevin Ward was instead of the lowest part to avoid him?
Tony is devestated right now…he is having such a difficult time with this……
In my opinion had this been a true "I didn't see you" accident.
You would be upset, however you would also know that there was nothing you could have done to avoid this tragedy, and your words of regret and sympathy wouldn't have to be rehearsed.
My point is that God will allow you to be a certain way until he says enough is enough.
Your years of racing dirty and being that arrogant person you are has finally caught up to you.
You made a choice to do what you have always done only this time it has back fired in your face. You may not face criminal charges, and if you don't then that is God's plan as well, however you will not be able to live and function knowing what you did to this child and his family.
You are a grown man Tony Stewart….this was a young inexperienced kid that was a little hot headed…..you could have allowed him to throw his tantrum and continued up the track…..instead you had to do what you have always done……and now look at the aftermath.
i pray that you get no rest until you own up and confess to all invoved what your intentions were that night.
Posted at 1:28 AM on August 16, 2014
Its really nice to hear people who claim to know God's will for everyone who does something they feel has violated that will. What about grace my friend, what about this Christianease statement 1 finger pointed at Tony and thee other 3 pointed back at yourself. God be with you who seem to have taken that right seat next to the Father and booted Jesus Christ off. I've watched Tony race through his whole career seen an arsehole grow as a man and although its up to the DA what happens to Tony. I will say Tony ran out of room on a dirt mind you dirt track and like Mr Ward was there to try and win. Sadly Kevin got out of his car to point at Tony and give it to him. The other driver were near Kevin because he was waiting for Tony. The sadly was very dumb. If you want to continue your mindset you make get relieved by the one who's will you seem to know. Don't play God, thanks.
Posted at 7:26 AM on August 16, 2014
You have your way of thinking and so do I…. ran out of track??? Really???? We all know what took place here. My main point is two lives were destroyed here. If I hear one more time that Kevin should have stayed in his car im going to be sick. This was a kid, 20 years old….Tony is so much more experienced…..there is no excuse for his behavior.
Please do not go there with me on the God subject…..I know that we are human and know all about grace….I was left for dead and know our God gives mercy, grace, everlasting love and forgiveness….and normally I do not get involved in conversations such as this….but the video is out there…..only God and Tony knows what his thoughts were that day…..the truth will always prevail….and regardless…Tony has to make it right with God not man….. everyone has an opiniin its not called judging….I am in no way worthy of even comjng close to the amazing God we serve however I am of the flesh, so are you….God is not man he is perfect! God will also cease wrong doing as he sees fit….. get in that good book before you lash out at me about using your God…..incase you have forgotten we all serve the same God….. There comes a time when a person needs to grow up and leave childish ways behind….its called being a man. Unfortunately Kevin Ward Jr. Will never get that chance….the most experienced driver on that track everyone else misses him and your boy Tony hits him…..purpose or not he should be held accountable for his actions.

It is tragedy that this took place and has taken the life of a young man. And I say a young man, because that is what he was before this accident. Sometimes accident are just what they are an accident. It's common to try to point the blame in one direction but it comes a time people need to be accountable for their oun actions. I'm not a big Tony fan but I don't think announcing to the world that Tony was trying to prove a point is a speculation. The truth is with the two videos I have seen the only people that really know what took place is Tony, Kevin and God. The facts are if Tony and Kevin did not race that night Kevin may still be with us, but that not what happen. If Kevin did not walk down the track he may still be with us, but that didn't happen either. We should all embrace and pray for Kevin's love ones that God will see them through this and make them stronger.
Thank you,

TORONTO — Hospitals can be somewhat chaotic, but that's true doubly so when they're located in Be'er Sheva and operating during the 2008-09 Gaza war.
Dr. Mark Clarfield, chief of geriatrics at Soroka Hospital and director of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Medical School for International Health, last week spoke about what's it's like to work at Israeli medical facilities that are close to the border.
"Tonight, I'll share with you what it's like to be a doctor south of Steeles," he joked to the audience at Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue.
Clarfield, originally from Toronto, said that even in times of relative calm, Israeli hospitals can be hectic. "We're a very nervous and fast-moving society. People simply don't wait. Everyone moves fast."
But when Israel invaded Gaza in 2008, everything changed very quickly.
Clarfield said the hospital put sand bags on its roofs and that helicopters landed nearby to bring the wounded to the emergency ward.
"We were also dealing with [the] constant [threat of] chemical and biological warfare," he said. "It was kind of a rough neighbourhood."
One of the greatest challenges was evacuating wards that the Home Front Unit of the army deemed unsafe, including Clarfield's own geriatric unit. "The grand exodus of the wards was really difficult, because when you have people attached to tubes or in incubators, it's hard to just move them within the same room, let alone [to the] outdoors," he said.
On top of this, to empty the hospital in case it had to accommodate mass casualties, some patients had to be sent home.
Throughout this period, university and hospital staff worked around the clock. When all leave was cancelled, they had to find a way to care for the hospital staff's children. Within 12 hours, an impromptu daycare was created to look after 300 kids. "It wasn't exactly rocket science," Clarfield said.
And while the hospital remained operational, the danger of living and working in the area was still very real. "In the media, they called Hamas' weapons 'primitive' missiles, but there was nothing primitive about them. To refer to them as 'homemade,' like cake, it really denigrates the danger they posed," Clarfield said. "We were lucky many more people weren't killed."
In Be'er Sheva, residents had about 45 seconds after the warning alarm sounded to find a safe space. In Sderot, that time was a mere 10 seconds.
"I remember thinking, 'This is crazy.' My kids could be blown up on the bus on the way to school," Clarfield said.
Despite these dangers, the hospital's staff came to work. "We did what we had to do," he said. "The students all came to classes, and we never cancelled clinical teaching. Our standards were very high – even our double standards were high."
Clarfield said that although he was describing the Gaza war, incidents similar to many that occurred during the war have happened before and will repeat themselves. A month ago, the hospital's geriatric ward was evacuated for safety reasons, he noted.
"We're in it for the long haul and we prepare ourselves for the worst, but we also have to be ready for peace at any time," he said.
He added that hospitals in Israel are places "where you have Jews and Arabs working side by side with full co-operation."
Clarfield's lecture was organized by the Canadian Associates of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
Soroka Hospital is the bloodline of the city, organizers said, and the Canadian group aims to help promote the hospital's growth.

Questions of the form "I tried such-and-such a program, but it didn't produce what I want" are pretty difficult to answer, especially if you are fuzzy on what you want. The programmer is inclined to say, "Well, feel free to write your own program then!" -ciplot- is a program on SSC I wrote. Your reference to -ecplot- I take to mean one to -eclplot- by Roger Newson. -ciplot- is a wrapper for -ci-, as its help explains. I am not clear, as you do not say, whether you would expect -ci- to produce your confidence intervals. But if you don't then -eclplot- should be fine for your purpose. In general, confidence intervals plots * the way you like them * are easy. What is difficult for a programmer is to prepare for all the ways that people like them. In your case, you would need to calculate your quintile groups calculate your confidence intervals decide on how to represent estimates, e.g. -scatter- or -twoway bar- decide on how to represent limits, e.g. -twoway rcap-. Then a typical plot requires an overlay twoway ... || ... Further advice would require a more precise question.

We will lose doctors, the quality of care logically MUST decrease if you are caring for more people with less doctors.....this is not debatable...if you are ok with more people getting care but everyone getting a lower quality of care that's up to you I guess.
But it will also cost many many jobs...and it removes choice, it also leaves decisions up to people other then your doctor, when you are 50+ and need a transplant but smoked half your life you will be skipped, they will give it to someone else...and it won't matter that you needed it first.
why do you continue to write off the first hand opinions of people who have both been insured free by govt, and privately here...and say natiional healthcare is better?
yousay "logically" but you dont know that for sure, since we cant predict immediately less doctors. It's like guaranteed work lol. </p>[/quote]
No I do know that for sure, That why I keep saying logically...because it's a god damned math problem Pizz.
More patients+less Doctors = lower quality of care...period end of story there is no discussion to be had.
I'm not saying people can't think it's better there are plenty that do just as there are plenty that think it's worse.
the reason I'm writing it off is because there is an equal amount of circumstantial evidence for and against it when asking people who have lived in both systems....it's wipes clean.
