Re: st: NLOGIT

Check that
(1) Your Stata is updated. -nlogit- was fixed for missing observations.
(2) Your covariates are not all dummies. Manos suggested to get
some multiplicative variables: something like "married (dummy) times
income (in dollars)". Also, if ageskl is age times dummy-skilled and
age times dummy-unskilled why you have both?
(3) Drop the nolog in the process... maybe there is some information
that we/you want to know, such as "not concave", "variable xyz
dropped due to collinearity", etc.
(4) Run a SIMPLE version of the model... I meant really simple.
You should play with fraction of your dataset, and less covariates.

Subject: Re: st: NLOGIT
MNL == Multiple Nested Logit?
You've given us the command that you use, but not shown what the
error's Stata is reporting are. These are likely to be informative in
helping resolve your problem.
From the FAQ (http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/statalist.html#advice)...
* Say exactly what you typed and exactly what Stata typed (or did)
in response. N.B. exactly! If you can, reproduce the error with one of
Stata's provided datasets or a simple concocted dataset that you
include in your posting.
Don't send examples like this, which gives no information:
o The command -fiddle- worked yesterday, but it is not working today.
or like this, which gives very little information:
* I am using -frog-, but I just get the message "invalid syntax".
This example shows better style, setting aside the fact that its
answer can be found in the online help:
* I am using Stata 9 to try to draw a plot using -scatter-.
Here is an example showing my problem with the auto data:
. scatter mpg weight, s(p)
I get lots of very small points. Why doesn't Stata use plus symbols?

Dear Statalisters,
I have done a MNL of employment status (4 choices: wage employed,
unemployed etc) with individual specific controls eg sex, education,
age, race etc and in the next stage with only the wage employed run
another MNL of occupational choices (3 choices: skilled, unskilled etc)
with controls like the first stage (not the same though). But I also
want to do a NLOGIT while incorporating all the decisions, so there will
be 6 choices in the bottom set (3 choices out of wage employed, 3
remaining categories of employment status) along with the first set of 4
alternatives. I constructed the data set and the tree is running fine
but I was unable to run NLOGIT and was facing error message. Is it due
to the use of common individual specific variables in both stages? But I
need to have demographic and education variables in both stages. Any
suggestion is highly appreciated. A simple version of the model is as
nlogit choice (occchoice=ageprof ageskl ageuskl agesemp ageunemp agenemp
*/ age2prof age2skl age2uskl age2semp age2unemp age2nemp)
(empstat=ageemp2 ageemp3 ageemp4 /*

Dansk Lawson-Fenning Quistgaard for Cutting Board
Sold Out
Teak cutting board by Jens Quistgaard for Dansk. Circa 1960.Lawson-Fenning opened its first store in 1997, while Glenn Lawson and Grant Fenning were still students at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. It has since evolved into a Los Angeles fixture, with showrooms in Silver Lake and the design corridor of Beverly Boulevard. Their line is a contemporary one with a sense of place and history: Modern shapes and finishes mingle with traditional details and context, and 20th-century pieces are eloquently mixed with new designs from their own line of sustainable, locally crafted furniture.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Heh, I guess you didn't bother to.. um.. look? At the top? It IS covered in trim. I am considering putting trim around the bottom... but I sort of like the straight angles. I might put something very flat around it, just to cover the black... maybe... we'll see.
Short of perfection? I think I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you!
*cough* trim around bottom(and top maybe) of tank *cough*
Why fall just short of perfection?
Great job.
Hhhhmmmmmm... I'm not sure whether I like it tall, or short. My original plan was to have the stand about 6 inches shorter. I wanted something very squat looking. Which is probably why it doesn't quite look right. It should either have a shorter stand, or a taller tank. Maybe when I move I'll sell the 75 gallon, and pick up a 90. They're about 4 inches taller, yeah?
And thanks for the complements. They are very appreciated. I'm thinking about making a similar stand for the first 5 tanks listed on this page: http://alysta.com/books/fishtank.htm
But I want to make it out of two 8 foot 2x12s. Maybe do a how-to on it. Something small, easy to make, but still look different.
But that will be much later. AFTER I fix the roof, the window sills which have rotted due to the roof leaking for years, leveling the curtain rods, finishing the trimwork on all the base boards on the first floor, along with all the windows. re-painting the second floor, and finish painting the third floor... etc... etc... etc...
My wife just walked by and saw this. She was very impressed! That is quite an accomplishment. So, I just did some "redesign" and decided I think the proportions would be better with a taller tank.
I think the only imperfection is the low tank - otherwise a very good looking furniture quality tank setup.
I totally laughed at the "2x4 madness!" comment! Thanks for that! Here are a few pics of the stand and hood, at 95% complete. I just need to build the caps for the legs. But that's about it.
I used three switches for the 6 LED flood lights, so I can turn on either the outer two, middle two, or two most center. It makes for a very dramatic scene, when the sides are lit up, but the center is dark. When I get the chance, and maybe after the water clears up again, I'll put up some pics of the tank with just the side lights, or just the center lights on.
The water is all yellow, I think due to the tannins leaking out of the mineralized topsoil... at least, I hope that's what the problem is. If anyone knows, feel free to let me know.
|Very nice. Kudos on doing something different than "ADA knockoff" or "2x4 madness"!
|It looks awesome! Although I will be very curious about how well fish do in your tank with that substrate lol.
Reybie, thank you for all your complements thus far. I really like how well folks on TPT are ready to give out complements, or advice, as needed.
Hoppy, I think you'll like it much more once all the finishing touches are complete.
Dogfish, if you look on page 1, you will see something that looks like a picture frame, made out of 1.5 inch crown moulding. I still need to stain it, but that's going to be what covers up the black frame on top. And as far as it fitting the space, I can scan the prototype pics that I drew up at work (if I can find them) and I measured, checked aquarium sizes, and re-measured, to figure out exactly how big of a tank and stand I could have. The limiting factors being the light switch on the left hand side, and the bathroom door on the right. That door doesn't open all the way as it is, so I didn't want to make it too much of a squeeze to get through. But thank you very much on the complements, I greatly appreciate it.
Dragonfish, The LEDs are pretty awesome, but I don't think they produce much PAR for the plants. We'll see how things grow. So far I know it's enough to keep crypt parva, java fern, and some stem plant alive. But none have done much growing. I'm going to put at least one more 10w LED in there, and possibly two more after that (one on each side of the hood) The shimmer effect is awesome, and without the front of the hood attached, the shimmering on the ceiling is beautiful. If I ever build another stand (what am I saying? Of course I will!), I'm going to make one that is a lot more industrial looking, and juse use conduit with the LED flood lights, so you can see the entire light, and the ceiling shimmer. It looks like I have a swimming pool in my dining room! It will pain me somewhat to finish the hood, and close it all up.
A note on the 20W floods. The only place I could find them online was through alibaba.com, or aliexpress.com I paid $75 for the two 20W floods, with free shipping. But then the bill for customs tax came about a month later, for 30 dollars. So they were approx. a dollar per watt. Also, the emitters on those 20W LEDs are HUGE!! Like, a full square inch!
Also, I'm going to need a TON of aquascaping advice. I have EXTREMELY limited knowledge on aquatic plants (come on, I threw a bloody banana peel and multi vitamins into my dirt!) so I don't know what will look right, how fast it will grow, how big things will get, etc. All I know about is the really long grass that grows in the northernmost portion of the chesapeake bay, anubias nana, and crypt parva. Oh, and I also know that I can't keep glosso alive to save my life. I'll get some pics of the way I laid the substrate out once the tannins clear up a bit. I'll need knowledge on rocks, driftwood, etc. I'll make a new thread in the aquascaping forum, and link to it from here. In the mean time, where would be a good place to research rocks? It seems like there aren't too many great rocks around me, but maybe I'm not looking in the right places?
|I also REALLY dig it! How do you like the 20w LEDs? I was thinking about a pair for my 55 gallon low-light.

|Very interesting looking stand! (I'm sure you aren't looking for comments about the substrate, so I will pass on that for now. Bananas?) I'm trying to figure out what would make the stand look better to my eyes, but I'm not there yet. Maybe a bigger tank???
Alright folks, here is the completed stand. Still working on the hood (obviously) but here are some pics.
Before laying down the MTS, some folk get all this dolomite and potash, and stuff that can be a real PITA to find. I'm a bit more of a risk taker, and am willing to put a couple guppies lives in danger to ensure my tank isn't going to poison my fish. So I first covered the bottom with steel wool. 6 pieces, which were stretched out a bit to cover the tank. These will rust in a matter of days, and will continue to produce plenty of iron oxide for the plants. There are certainly some bad chemicals on this stuff, but by the time it leaches into the water, it won't be any worse then the chesapeake bay. I also threw in a few tablets of TUMS. I hear there is some magnesium in them, and they are mostly calcium, so the plants will have plenty of that.
A few expired multi vitamins were also thrown in there. I'm sure there's stuff in there that plants will like, right? I also tossed in probably over 100 egg shells which had been dried, smashed, and ran through a coffee grinder. Again, calcium carbonate. I was also eating a banana. What the heck? Plants might like the peal. So I tossed that in also. Some no-salt was thrown in there for a replacement to the dolomite. So all my bases should be covered. We'll see how it works.
Attachment 35298
I'm planning on sticking a black ghost knife fish in here eventually, so I figured he should have a nice big cave. I made this out of a 2 litre soda bottle.
Attachment 35300
After the mineralized topsoil was in, it was capped in washed playsand. I found some really grey playsand at home depot that I liked a lot, so I tossed out the yellow stuff I already had, and got the grey stuff. This next pic shows my LED flood lights. The wiring isn't currently the safest, but it'll be fine as long as the front isn't on the hood. Once the hood is completed, the wiring connections will be made inside of sealed boxes, so moisture can't accumulate on them, and there will be an extra layer of insulation between the connections and wooden hood.
Attachment 35301
And without further ado, here is the completed stand!
Attachment 35302
I still have a couple finishing touches, but I learned a really good trick from Hoppy. It's a secret that he posted on the forums. Stand far enough away, so people can't see your mistakes!
And I will post pics of the hood, and top rim cover once they are complete.
One more pic... I call this my ark of the covenant!
Attachment 35303
I suppose I should probably put a pic of the stand over on the official sticky stand thread as well.
Reybie, thank you very much! I am almost finished with it as of last night (up past midnight finishing everything, makes for a real early 5 AM) I just have a few small things to do. I need to stain a couple places that got rubbed a little too much, or had to be filed down to be just the right size. And I have one or two pieces of trim to put on in select locations, etc.
Calmia, are you referring to the habitat for humanity re-stores? Because those places ROCK!! Talk about some cheap stuff! I replaced 12 windows in a house of mine a while back for about 300 dollars with re-store windows.
A note on little touches, trim will do you wonders! Even cheap vinyl trim has it's place, in my opinion. And a lot of the time with the vinyl stuff, you don't even have to nail it. Just use super glue!
|Now that is one sweet looking stand!

Well, it was requested when I posted in another thread that I do a build log, so here goes...
Parts from svxdc:
Steering Wheel Controller -
Wire Harness -
Center console aux input adapter -
Parts from me:
Center Console USB adapter -
Protect those pins with epoxy:
Missing is the post heatshrink photo, just to be doubly sure.
Parts from IA Performance and JL Audio:
JL Audio C5-650 tweeter in the IA Performance tweeter Pods -
It is hard to tell, but I used CCF on the back side to wedge the tweeters into place. I later clipped the stock connector, leaving enough to return to stock, and soldered onto the JL Audio Speaker wires.
JL Audio C5-650 woofer in a birch baffle:
I wrapped the stock connector in painter's tape then used a piece of deadener to hold it to the door. No photo of that, but I couldn't have a wire dangling around and possibly rattling.
Kicker Wire and Fuse Holder:
Sadly, I ran out of heatshrink, so I used red electrical tape that I had on hand to keep the techflex in place.
Alpine PDX V9:
Pioneer DEH-80PRS:
I need to get better shots of the temporary sub enclosure that I made out of birch. I may end up building a FG enclosure as soon as I sort out some other issues. This is all I have for now:
I had to make a ring because I cracked the birch when installing the hurricane nuts. I think I hit a tiny void and it turned into a HUGE crack. The ring covers the damaged part and then some.
Thank you for looking!

HULK SMASH: The T-Rex on its way to Christchurch isn't a dinosaur, but rather a huge truck that simulates an earthquake to reveal the properties of rocks and sediments below. The truck weighs 29,000 Kg and will pound and shake the ground to reveal which soils are more likely to liquefy, and which soils are more stable. It's a good old-fashioned technique: stomping hard to see if the base is solid.
LIGHT COOLER: Some cooling systems are bulky and use dangerous coolants and refrigerants such as liquid helium.
Now scientists at Nanyang Technological University have used lasers to cool a Cadmium Sulfide semiconductor from 20 degrees Celsius down to minus 20 C. This optical cooling system could have uses in computers, satellites, smartphones and even MRI machines, saving space, energy and harmful gases. Getting rid of the gases is good news for the environment, but how about the Cadmium Sulfide?
A BIT HARD: Is diamond really the hardest material in the world? A team of researchers created a material that may be harder: ultrahard nanotwinned cubic boron nitride. The secret's in the nanostructure, in that neighbouring atoms share a boundary and often mirror one another which makes the material harder to deform. The boundaries act like walls, so with each segment 3.8 nanometers wide on average there are more 'walls' than in other materials. Unfortunately hardness can really only be definitively established by using an even harder material to test it, so this may not be the last word in hard materials after all. If it is though, it's sure to find use in drilling for resources.
EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE: The US Army's ARGUS-IS is a 1.8 gigapixel video surveillance camera that can resolve details down to 15 cm from an altitude of 6 Km. The idea is to attach it to a drone and observe an area of 25 square kilometres at a time. The camera captures video at 12 frames per second so supplies 600 gigabits of data per second, or 6 petabytes per day, needing a supercomputer to process it all. It'll also need some pretty super software to actually make use of all that video data.

Leaving Nouakchott turned out to be as easy as jumping into a bush taxi with another 6 people and wait the 4 hours of travelling out. We went through quite a few smaller towns, each of which had various election campaigning tents with people hanging around drinking the tea and smoking their little Mauritanian pipes. Then we reached the Mauritanian side of Rossa which is a town situated on both sides of the border divided by the Senegal River. Having been informed by emails from other friends who had previously crossed here, I knew all kinds of useful things like exchange rates and prices for entry into Senegal. After converting my cash, which involved intense debate, and required that I walk away a couple of times before they gave the price I wanted, I rocked on up to the border guards and said let me in
The border guard took one look at me and said "have you got an exit stamp for leaving the Mauritanian Territory?"
Now I knew full well that I didn't need to pay for an exit stamp for leaving Mauritanian, and knew perfectly well that the border guard was going to ask me for one, knowing perfectly well that I didn't need one, but not knowing that I knew, I promptly told him that I didn't need one. This meant that he knew I didn't need one, I knew I didn't need one and he knew that I knew I didn't need one. Now that we had reached this higher level of understanding he looks back at me and said. "Where is your exit stamp?"
I played his game a bit and after 5 minutes I resigned to the fact that he has not got anything better to do then keep asking me for a stamp all day if need be, which effectively is him asking for money I negotiated the cost of the stamp down to just under 1 euro, which I paid but really didn't need to.
After a little boat trip across the river I got herded towards a taxi bus, where this very tall guy told me we were going to leave straight away
2 hour later he decided we'd better get going, and I though to myself I'd better get use to this liberal notion of time, cos I think the worst thing would be to try and visit Senegal in a rush. However we did see an absolutely fantastic sunset and was in St Louis late that evening where I got me a taxi to the youth hostel.
Managed to catch up with a few people I hadn't seen for a while at the hostel and the very nice gentleman there offered me a pint of beer for around 1 euro. Now after two months backpacking in Islamic countries and cruising in deserts, a beer was a very beautiful sight. That night I reckon I might have drunk a few. That night I also met Ghalied the South African with whom I would spent the next 20 days at St Louis.
Saint-Louis was named by the French after their king and use to be the capital city in Senegal up till 1958 and was previously the capital on French Western Africa, but that was a while ago in 1895 to 1902. Originally the city was only on a largish river island on the Senegal River but it has now about 171,000 people, whom live mostly on the mainland
Deciding that we wanted to go to see the beaches we walked across the bridge to the Langue de Barbarie which is probably 50-100 meters wide we went to admire the beach, which was hardly admirable as it was covered in rubbish and smelt terrible because not only do people throw their household rubbish directly on the beach but they use it also as their personal toilet. In fact most ways you looked someone was squatting relieving themselves. It's hard to try and understand how people here could let the beach get to that state, so I didn't try any longer.
Instead we took ourselves by clandestine taxi (20 cents) to the Hydrobase. The Hydrobase use to be a stopover for planes coming from Dakar, where they would stock up on water before crossing the desert north before arriving in Europe. Here the beaches were cleaner and the people are always smiling. With Ghalied, we tried a small hotel for a few days and ended up at another Camping Grounds (Called 'Camping' but had grass huts) on the beach where we stayed and got to know most of the locals with whom we had beers most nights at the local bar/disco called Le Papayer.
In St Louis it seemed to be that there are a lot of begging children. I later found out from Abdul who runs a neighboring camp site and also an association that helps these children, what the essential problem is. When a child reaches 3 or 4 years old, the parents often sends them to what they call a Marabout. This Marabout is a religious teacher who is suppose to undertake the task of teaching the children about the Koran. There is a debate as to whether Marabout should in fact exist in the Islamic religion as there should only ever be a one-two-one relationship between a believer and Alla. But exist they do and have hold a lot of power in the Senegal society to the extent that the population will generally vote the politicians that are supported only by the brotherhood of Marabouts. Anyway these children who sometimes come from 100s of kilometers inland are told by the Marabouts to go begging in the streets and any money they make they must return to the Marabout. If they don't return with enough money then they often get beaten. As a result they run away from the Marabout and don't go back home and become street kids. Abdul's association set up a house where these kids can go and just hang, or get a meal and have their clothes washed. But it seems they have too many kids to look after and not enough resources.
I never intended to spend so much time here, but I decided that I needed to have a sort of vacation from the vacation
However before we affronted Dakar, we left one morning and went 20 kilometers further south along the Langue de Barbarie to quite a famous camping site called Zebraba situated within a national bird reserve. We managed to take a little boat trip down the river and to the bird island were we saw about 50 seagull and a pelican. The seagulls were only so interesting and the pelican would have been more impressive if we hadn't previously been attacked by one while frequenting a neighboring hotel. The fact we got away from the attack unscathed was due to the fact that the guard pelican seemed to have a broken leg. Oh we did see a dead sting ray being ripped apart by crabs, that was cool!
The day after the boat trip we got a lift to the St Louis bus taxi stand and paid for a seat direction Dakar

Planning a paving program is especially daunting if streets havee been neglected for some time. If not done properly, your department could be sidetracked or, worse, subject to the whims of officials and residents who demand streets be paved based on purely subjective criteria.
If done correctly, however, the plan will provide the tools necessary to develop and budget for a long-term capital improvement program. It will objectively evaluate the condition of the pavement for each street, prioritize the need for action, and, finally, recommend a design approach.
The first step is to establish objective criteria for evaluating existing conditions. Because each street must be visited and evaluated using the same criteria, the criteria should be simple to understand and easy to implement. Use a simple scale of 1 to 5 for the initial evaluation.
Once the initial evaluation phase is complete, an engineering evaluation should be conducted for all Priority 1, 2, and 3 streets. Realize that one-size-fits-all solutions won't work. Repair options include complete full-depth reconstruction, full- or partial-depth milling and overlay, spot repairs and partial pavement milling and overlay, or simply crack sealing.
However, don't forget Priority 4 and 5 streets because they still may require maintenance; evaluate them annually.
Subbase soils may have a major impact on the final design. Those that drain well are more likely to provide stable base and may be candidates for a full- or partial-depth mill and overlay, while streets with low-permeability soils are more likely to require subbase preparation and a thicker pavement profile to prevent failures from recurring within a reasonable pavement lifespan.
While not always required, soil borings and a full pavement design should be considered before embarking on a road program.
While it may be desirable to pave all Priority 1 streets in the first year, it's usually cost-prohibitive.
An annual budget of $250,000 to $500,000 is ideal, but $150,000 to $300,000 will enable many streets to receive at least some treatment. After several years of an aggressive repair program, an annual maintenance budget of $150,000 to $200,000 will suffice to keep streets in decent shape.
There are several ways to fund a capital road program. Grants may be available from the Federal Highway Administration or state transportation departments. Typical funding for municipal roadway reconstruction grants as administered by the New Jersey DOT, for example, is $180,000/year. A city may also self-fund the program by issuing bonds or using capital funds from the city's budget. Coupled with grant monies, municipal funds can be stretched to allow for a substantial program.
Stretch your design budget to get as much paving done at one time as possible. This doesn't just save money: The more streets that receive new paving, the happier residents will be.
Even if the budget allows for only one or two streets to be addressed, include more streets in the bid using alternative bids. This way, if market prices are favorable and excess funds are available, you can award some of the alternatives without having to rebid. As a cautionary note, if funding is to be provided through a bond ordinance or through state or federal grants, the language in the approving documents must be general enough to allow the excess funds to be used for the alternative bids.
Because reconstruction disrupts the motoring public, conduct paving operations from June through August, when there's less traffic in general and no school buses to contend with. As a general rule, projects should begin after May 1 and finish before Thanksgiving.
Paving can be done in spring or late fall, but there are serious challenges when paving too early or too late in the year, especially in the northern states.
Spring — especially March and April — tends to be rainy, disrupting the construction schedule and affecting the quality of the finished product. If the road gets saturated after it's been milled, the subbase may become soft and the contractor will seek a change order for additional undercutting.
Late fall brings more wet weather, as well as overnight freeze/thaw conditions and community leaf pickup schedules to work around.
Make sure your design professional has enough time to design the plans and prepare the necessary bid documents long before the construction season begins. A notice to proceed with design is best given in the fall so that plans and specifications can be ready to advertise in January or February.
Contractors who begin lining up work early in the year tend to be more aggressive with their pricing, so the earlier the job is bid, the more likely you'll be to receive better pricing. Advertising a paving project in late summer can prove disastrous from both a scheduling and a budgetary standpoint.
Remember to consult local public contracting laws for mandatory requirements before advertising. Complying with some local bid laws can be tricky.
In New Jersey, for example, bids must be advertised in the official newspaper of the city at least 10 days before bid opening, and can't be received on Mondays or the day after a state or federal holiday. Other rules include ensuring that all contractors are notified and acknowledging receipt of any contract addenda at least seven days before the bid opening, excluding weekends and holidays.
The bid document itself must include a checklist to be endorsed by the contractor indicating all required items, including a bid guarantee, a surety certificate, a statement of ownership, and a business registration certificate, have been supplied. A one-year maintenance bond is also required.
Always check references before engaging the contractor. If you have doubts, bring the contractor in for an interview and ask how the task will be accomplished. The local public contract laws will provide more guidance on this issue.
Public input and notifying residents about potential interruptions, preferably weekly through oral and written notices, goes a long way toward minimizing complaints.
As the project progresses, monitor the contractor's work and requests for payment to ensure payments keep pace with actual construction. The best way to accomplish this is by measuring the "in place" material quantities before each request for payment. Carefully monitoring monthly payment requests and material quantities reduces the likelihood of costly overruns or unexpected change orders.
Once construction is substantially complete, generate a "punch list" of incomplete items and allow the contractor time to correct minor defects. Don't make the final payment until they're all completed to your satisfaction.

p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) (137F5) Rabbit mAb (PE Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) protein. The antibody does not cross-react with JNK/SAPK or p38 MAP kinase.Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Hamster, Monkey, Mink, D. melanogaster, Zebrafish, Bovine, Dog, Pig, C. elegans Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology: Chicken
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the C-terminus of rat p44 MAP kinase.
This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to phycoerythrin (PE) and tested in-house for direct flow cytometry analysis in human cells. The antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) (137F5) Rabbit mAb #4695.
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a widely conserved family of serine/threonine protein kinases involved in many cellular programs, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, motility, and death. The p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) signaling pathway can be activated in response to a diverse range of extracellular stimuli including mitogens, growth factors, and cytokines (1-3), and research investigators consider it an important target in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer (4). Upon stimulation, a sequential three-part protein kinase cascade is initiated, consisting of a MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK or MAP3K), a MAP kinase kinase (MAPKK or MAP2K), and a MAP kinase (MAPK). Multiple p44/42 MAP3Ks have been identified, including members of the Raf family, as well as Mos and Tpl2/COT. MEK1 and MEK2 are the primary MAPKKs in this pathway (5,6). MEK1 and MEK2 activate p44 and p42 through phosphorylation of activation loop residues Thr202/Tyr204 and Thr185/Tyr187, respectively. Several downstream targets of p44/42 have been identified, including p90RSK (7) and the transcription factor Elk-1 (8,9). p44/42 are negatively regulated by a family of dual-specificity (Thr/Tyr) MAPK phosphatases, known as DUSPs or MKPs (10), along with MEK inhibitors, such as U0126 and PD98059.

Where I stayed
Jasy Hotel Puerto Iguazu
Read my review - 4/5 stars
Read my review - 4/5 stars
Today we had our first (intentional) early wake up, and prepared to head off to Aeroparque airport for our flight to Iguazu Falls. Buenos Aires was either still sleeping, or stumbling out of a nightclub at this time, so the drive to the airport was a breeze.
Aeroparque, which is mainly used for Domestic flights, is one of the weirdest airports I've seen. It is virtually located on the outskirts of suburbia, next to the river, and the tarmac looks like a jumble of aeroplanes parked willy nilly all over the place. When the aeroplane was taxiing out, it was like an aviation version of the game "Rush Hour ".
When we landed at Puerto Iguazu, the aeroplane wobbled a bit, landed safety, and the whole plane applauded
Our hotel, Jasy hotel, is very nice and rated number one of the hotels in the area on Trip Advisor. It was easy to see why when you saw the hotels surrounding! One thing we aren't thrilled about is that need to put your used toilet paper in a bin instead of flushing it, due to the primitive plumbing. Yecch. I've seen this before in Egypt and some parts of Asia, but I still hate it.
Ted and I decided to walk around the town nearby to see what there was. Nothing. It actually came as a relief because the town isn't a hodgepodge of insane touristic activity. There was actually very little open and no traffic on the roads. Everyone must have been at church. We still managed to find an outdoor eatery open selling olives (every store is selling them) and Argentina's staple dish empanadas before heading back.
We were picked up at 2.15pm for our sightseeing tour of the Brazilian side of the Falls
We arrived in the town of Cataratas and dismounted the bus, and were then picked up by another bus to start our 1.5 klm walk along the Brazilian side. We all fell over ourselves trying to get a photo of the Falls before getting off the bus, once again forgetting that, chances were, the view was not going to disappear that fast! Sure enough, the further you walked, the better the photo op.
There were creatures running around called the quatis (also known as Brazilian aardvarks, Mexican tej�n, hog-nosed coons, pizotes, Panamanian gatosolos, crackoons and snookum bears), which signs in English, Spanish and Portuguese asked you not to feed, mainly because they could carry rabies. Clearly the signs weren't written in Idiot, because there were idiots everywhere doing the exact opposite of what the sign said.
I took probably six times more photos than usual, since it isn't every day you can see one of the 7 wonders of the natural world (according to the sign anyway), but most of them were reserved for the area called the devils throat, which had a walkway that went right to the edge of the Falls, as well as an elevator which took you to the top of an observation tower
Before coming away on this trip, Ted and I wondered whether paying the Brazilian visa fee of $60 per person was going to be worth it, especially since we would only be spending a few hours there. Well, we can turn around now and say it was, otherwise we'd always feel like we only did the half Iguazu.
After all this, we returned to Argentina and our hotel, and Ted thought outdoor dining would be a nice idea. Unfortunately so did the mosquitoes, so hopefully we don't end up with malaria, typhoid and God knows what when we return home!
Even now at 8.30pm, I am yawning so it's probably the early part of the holiday catching up with me. We head to the Argentinian side tomorrow which hopefully, is just as great as the Brazilian side. Truly Ted and I experienced a full Brazilian today.
Day 2
Today was the day when I think I saw one of the most - if not the most - amazing sight today
Our pickup today was at 7.20am, but since we were in bed by 9pm last night, we certainly weren't struggling. Once again we were picked up by a small bus, transferred to a bigger bus, and driven out to the Falls with a larger tour group. I find it so droll how Argentinians walk around carrying a gourd of mate with them, like a cup of coffee from Starbucks.
When we arrived at the park, we were both taken aback at the place. We had expected to be walking along a jungle track, armed with machetes and fighting off wild animals, creepy foliage and evil Nazis before reaching the Falls. The park was actually completely laden out with gift shops, bathrooms, maintained gardens and helpful staff. It was so easy! We then boarded a train to take us on our way, guaranteeing that we we're never walking far.
We then walked about a kilometre across a walkway that was elevated above the water, to reach the part of the waterfall called the devil's throat
We had plenty of time to stand and enjoy this spectacle before we continued onto more view points. Even though they were not as grandiose as the devils throat, they were still spectacular. I never thought that one thing could be viewed as amazing from so many different angles. I won't bother going on too much about the view, I'll let the pictures do the talking. Actually, they won't do the Falls any justice either, so maybe you should just VISIT them!
I think Ted and I posed in more photos here than anywhere else which was easier said than done because, just when you had the perfect photo lined up, some idiot would move into the view! We also faced another force of nature today when, standing on one of the higher viewpoints, Ted commented on the storm clouds that seemed to be rolling in
After all this excitement we went for a buffet lunch and several beers in the park's restaurant. Clearly Ted and I were impressive to the Argentinian crowd, because we were even interviewed by some students for a school project. I don't know what the subject of the project was and I think we were too afraid to ask. We then headed towards the exit, conveniently located next to a gift shop, and returned to our hotel.
All in all, another great day.

What is the best disto of Linux for hacking?
Well that's nice and shows a degree of skill, but it really is not helpful for someone new to the subject.
The question remains, is there a better distro? Well, yes and no. Sorry about that,lol! But as you spend more time in Linux you will see what I mean.
Ok, perhaps there is no Distro that is better than an other, but is there one that is easier?
YES! While its true I can tweak any version of Linux to do what I want, some are more difficult than others. Installing Kismet is a good rule of thumb. That can be so easy on some versions and others it can require some experimentation. Why is that? It has to do with how the kernel is written and a few other things added on. Fedora and Red Hat often are in there own world searching for the mainstream balance of security and stability. Red Hat used to be the choice of the hacker but not so much any more.
As far as the hacker goes, anything that is easily customized and not restricted is the choice. Distros like Gentoo for instance. Anything that is too popular is "out". If you go to a Hacker convention and are you asked what Distro of linux you use, don't say Red Hat or even BackTrack, LOL! That's for the masses and remember hackers want to feel l33t or elite and special.
That being said, I would say there is one version of Linux that I would recommend for the beginner. Its Ubuntu. Its easy to install and most hacker programs work out of the box and there is so much community support. So far, I found no problems.
Why learn Linux? There are many servers out there that are linux. Most hackers use it. Many free tools are available. Its so easy to write programs for if you are into that. I still go by the idea if you want to protect your network, you must think like a Hacker.
Don't make Backtrack your only installation of Linux! I have been told that way too much by windows people. They will say " yes I know linux, I have the Backtrack live CD". To really know linux, you must know how to install and deal with driver issues, etc.. If you do, it will repay you big time! Once you feel comfortable with it all, then go to Backtrack. If you can use Bactrack only from the command line, that's a good test of your basic skill.
As a recap, go for Ubuntu and get a good feel for it. After that, play with a few other versions just to get a feel for them. Remember that you cant consider yourself a complete hacker without knowing Linux.

text: On Facebook, a friend of mine posted that he was looking for new tires for his wife's Jeep. He wanted to find the best deals, and was asking for recommendations... Well, someone responded with a place that sells "retreaded" tires. Curious about it, I started looking through and seeing what they had... So, my question is : A) Have you used or purchased a retreaded tire in the past? B) If you have, did you have any problems with it? Or do you think it was a good deal? C) If you haven't, would you consider them? Do you think they're safe? Any input is greatly appreciated. I'm about a month away from buying new tires, and the tires I usually buy cost about $210 each. But the no name retreaded brand, with the exact same tread as the tires I have now, they're about $100 less each tire.

Movie Review: Beautiful Creatures

Hollywood's obsession with chasing the YA demographic continues in the quirky film.

Director: Richard LaGravenese
Rating: PG-13
Studio: Alcon Entertainment
Hollywood's obsession with chasing the YA demographic continues with the strenuously quirky, campy but snoozy Beautiful Creatures, directed by Richard LaGravanese, who also coadapted the screenplay from the first novel in a four-novel series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.
We're going to go out on a limb and say that this would-be franchise may not have the stuff to become the next Twilight or Hunger Games–level juggernaut. The dark, goofy Romeo and Juliet lite centers on a sensitive, bookish high school guy (Alden Ehrenreich) grieving the death of his mother. Stuck in a conservative, picturesque South Carolina town, he falls head over heels in love with the mysterious, socially prominent soon-to-be-16-year-old niece (Alice Englert) of the town's equally mysterious, filthy rich eccentric (Jeremy Irons). Alas for the smitten Ehrenreich, it turns out that his lady love and her whole clan are "spellcasters"—you know, witches—some of whom have gone to the light side like Irons while others, like Emma Thompson and her sidekick Emmy Rossum, have gone dark, meaning they get to wear better wigs, fancier duds and camp it up so wildly, it's as if they've fled the set of a whacked-out Tim Burton flick.
At first, the good-looking, wise-to-itself movie wafts along on a vapor of faux Tennessee Williams dialogue, silly Southern caricatures, literary references and a vague air of secrets and menace. Sure, it's silly, but compared to the strained seriousness of Twilight, say, it's a refreshing alternative. But the whole gumbo boils over when the makers of Heavenly Creatures fritter away all that good will with mind-numbing scenes of thumbing through ancient manuscripts, flashbacks and other obvious huffing and puffing to cram in all of the 593-page novel's hocus pocus meanderings.
Although slumming, Irons, Thompson and a shamefully wasted Viola Davis do what they can to class up the joint, but with its two-plus-hour running time, oh lordy, is this thing dull. At the very least the witches ought to be able to cast a spell to keep the audience awake.

text: Educators step forward for good causes MTA educators prove every day that they are as committed to their communities as they are to their students. In March, several MTA members traveled to Hartford to be among the 15,000 people who turned out for the 5K Sandy Hook Run for the Families. The following month, educators joined with business people and residents at the the Malden Education Association's inaugural 5K Race/Fun Walk. And on May 5, MTA educators from all over the state showed their support for Project Bread at the annual Walk for Hunger. These charitable events are just three of many that help underscore the fact that public school educators are at the very center of community life. Involvement in such efforts does more than raise funds for good causes; it gives members of the public a chance to interact with educators outside of traditional school settings. "It was awesome to see all the enthusiasm for teachers," said Maryann Ziemba, a history teacher at Millis High School about the Sandy Hook run. "I have always been proud to be a teacher because giving back is part of who we are. "She noted that raising funds for the families at Sandy Hook bore special significance because the tragedy in Newtown, Conn., which took the lives of both students and educators, "had such a direct effect on our profession." The group from the MTA New Member Committee, running in T-shirts emblazoned with the words "Massachusetts Teachers with Compassion," was personally thanked by a Newtown educator who saw the educators in the crowd and made sure to come over to talk with them. "This is just an awesome outpouring of love and camaraderie," said Susan Connelly, a counselor at Newtown Middle School, who got her start teaching in Massachusetts before moving to Connecticut. The Malden race, meanwhile, was designed as a family-friendly festival. It was set to start on April 27 at MacDonald Stadium. Registration for the run was $25, while walkers could sign up for $15. All proceeds are being donated to a local anti-hunger organization called Bread of Life. Matthew Gillis, a physical education teacher who organized the MEA race, said reaction to the event has been "beyond positive."school. Prior to the event, coaches and physical education teachers recruited student athletes to participate, and the business community also put together teams. In September, Natick High School Vice Principal Zach Galvin once again plans to take part in The Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk, which follows the course of the Boston Marathon. Since 1989, the walk has contributed nearly $87 million to support cancer research and care at the Dana-Farber Cancer Center. Galvin, a cancer survivor, has helped raise nearly $500,000 through the event over the last 16 years. He has a goal of $50,000 this year. "Reaction from everyone is extremely positive, and part of that is because so many knew me when I was a new teacher and fighting stage-four cancer," Galvin said. He added that he shares credit for his fundraising with many others. "I succeed because of those around me," Galvin said.

Jayde Nicole: Outdoor Winter Workout Wednesday
Workout Wednesday gets out of the gym and back to the great outdoors.
Welcome to Workout Wednesdays, the new Playboy.com fitness blog by Jayde Nicole—personal trainer, fitness nutritionist, health nut, TV personality and, last but not least, Playboy's 2008 Playmate of the Year. Check back each week for Jayde's latest tips, and be sure to visit her all-new fitness website JaydeNicole.com.
This Week: Five Outdoor Winter Workouts!
Last week we talked about how to avoid the dreaded winter weight gain or holiday spare tire. This Workout Wednesday I would like to show you how to use the winter to have fun trying new forms of exercise and get in the best shape of your life while you're at it!
There are so many fun activities that we can only do during the winter months and most of them are calorie torchers! So why not get out there and try something new!
Here are my top 5 winter workouts!
- Skiing/Snowboarding!
If you have ever spent a day on the slopes then you know how amazing a workout this is. Your legs and glutes are in constant motion, your abs have to be tight to keep your balance. Plus, you're losing 400+ calories for every hour you are out there having fun! You won't even notice how much you have worked your body until you wake up the next morning with sore muscles.
Now, if you are like me then you are no pro. In fact, I don't think I have ever made it down an entire hill without at least one wipe out. But that doesn't mean you can't get out there, have some fun and get a great workout. Falling and having to pick yourself up only adds to calories burned!
- Ice Skating!
Not only is your local ice rink a great spot to meet cute girls, but it's also an amazing way to get a killer lower body workout! So strap on those dusty skates and hit the rink or lake (just make sure it's frozen first). Spending just two hours pumping your legs and keeping your self upright on those skates blasts about 800 calories! Show off your moves and you may even land a date out of it! You can also join a winter hockey league. Weekly games will keep you in tip-top shape!
- Sledding!
No, it's not just for kids anymore! Head for the hills and grab your best crazy carpet or toboggan, a group of friends and you're in for a treat! I'm sure you haven't forgotten how much fun it is to hop on that sled and ride it all the way down that steep hill, racing your friends! I do it every year. You will have so much fun that you won't even notice that for every slide down you have a big walk up a snowy hill, carrying a sled. You'll get some great cardio and an upper body workout, so don't be afraid to be a kid again and get out there. You can burn up to 350 calories per hour!
- Take a Hike!
Yep, I said it! If you live in a snowy climate then strap on those snowshoes and head outside! Being Canadian, we had them in the house all the time and I would use them to walk to the store when there was a ton of snow. Not only is it fun, but it is an amazing quad, hamstring, glutes, and calf workout. Guys, you need to start focusing more on that lower body to help build and balance your upper body! While you're at it, your body will torch about 450 calories per hour!
- Cross Country Skiing!
If you are too fearful of downhill skiing, this is a great alternative. Whenever I get to the slopes with my friends I always choose the cross-country trails. It's very peaceful, you get to see some real nature (I always run into large groups of deer) and you get a killer workout without all the wipeouts and snow somehow making it into your underwear. If you keep a fast pace you can burn the most calories of all my fun winter sports, up to 500 in just one hour!!
I don't know about you but I am beyond excited to bundle up in my winter gear and head outdoors! Don't let winter give you the blues. Instead, take advantage of all it has to offer and get your body in the best shape so when spring hits you will be showing off your 6 pack instead of hiding your beer belly!
Have questions or suggestions for an upcoming Workout Wednesday? Message me on Twitter (@Jayde_Nicole) or in the Locker Room at JaydeNicole.com.

[quote user="Redeyejedi"][quote user="nycsportzfan"][quote user="thegreatone"]I thought Moore is 6'1? If his height is listed correctly then yes he is comparable to all 3 as he is a tad taller than brees and flutie and a tad shorter than Chad. I'm nit like some I don't see a HUGE advantage of 3 inches in height. You can play or you can't and I really feel ge can. His weight is a concern and like you I'd like to see a little more power in his throws but I love this kid as a development for a west coast offense.[/quote]i totally agree/ Hes got the It factor that u can't teach/ Redeye will always be a "specific HT/WT/Strength/Speed" or your not aking it guy LOL I think Kellen has a chance to slip through the cracks and go in RD 5 because people don't want to iss out on a possible future WINNER
[/quote]If I was just taking his height and weight into consideration I wouldnt like Aaron Murray. Moore can not spin the ball. He has no velocity on his throws thats a major problem for a QB in the NFL. Kellen Moore is nothing like Drew Brees or Chad Pennington watch the intermediate throws he has nowhere near the pace on his ball. He also has a rather big hitch in his throw. Wasted motion , no pace on his throws, no mobility, and yes he is extremely undersized.He is not 6'1". He is listed at 6'0 on Boise States site which means he is most likely 5'11. I love how Brees name comes up everytime an undersized QB puts up numbers. Here are some names that are closer to the Truth Colt Brennan, Chase Daniel, Graham Harrel these guys are more like Moores tape but everyone focus on the one guy thatsgreat not the 100's that are out of the NFL without ever taking a regular season snap. Seriously whats more likely Kellen Moore is Drew Brees? or what Im saying and Kellen Moore is Colt Brennan?[/quote]First off u have no idea if his Ht/Wt is less then what it reads because u guys said all that stuff about Earl Thoas and u were dead wrong Kellen is one of the best college QB's of alltiMe and is one of the Most accurate QB's of all tiMe U bring up Brennan and Daniel but what the freak did they ever win? Brennan looked like a idiot against LSU in his big gaMe and Moore has looked God LIke in incredible bowl gaMes against top coMpetiton Your way off on Moore and i bet he gets drafted before the 5th round because hes not your typical sMall QB
Heres what Russ Lande for Pro Scout has to say about Kellen Moore
"He deserves late-third-round draft consideration next April. He shares
some positive qualities with a young Mark Brunell but appears to be more
of a quality backup at the NFL level. He is more accurate in the
underneath and intermediate areas with above average-accuracy downfield.
He is a tough and competitive leader."
I tend to agree I also don't think Daniel or Brennan could hold Kellen's jock strap!! Can't wait to see Kellen shred Va Tech Georgia Oregon twice TCU Utah Oregon St
When is Boise St getting lit up in a huge bowl contest like Brennan??? Its a insult to even put those 2 in a category together

Skylar Tibbits:
The emergence of "4D printing"
3D printing has grown in sophistication since the late 1970s; TED Fellow Skylar Tibbits is shaping the next development, which he calls 4D printing, where the fourth dimension is time. This emerging technology will allow us to print objects that then reshape themselves or self-assemble over time. Think: a printed cube that folds before your eyes, or a printed pipe able to sense the need to expand or contract.

Change is an inevitable part of the ongoing evolution and refinement of our processes. Learning to implement change successfully is a vital skill for people who would be leaders in our industry. This week, Payson Hall reflects on challenges to implementing new tools and processes and offers caution to would-be change agents: Be part of the remedy, not part of the disease.
While having dinner a while back, Cem Kaner and I talked about the toxic practice of offering too much process information to organizations or individuals that are not yet mature enough to appreciate them. Cem said something simple, profound, and thought provoking: "Not only are the recipients overwhelmed, but also the bad experience (frustration with too much, too fast) inoculates them against future process improvement."
The biological metaphor he invoked for organizations is interesting and instructive. When an organism perceives it is under attack by a foreign element like a bacterium or a virus, the body mobilizes to fight off the infection. This "immune response" is quite fascinating. When the body fights off an infection, it does it in several ways, using a variety of tools.
Some responses are general purpose, like causing a fever. Many infectious agents can only thrive in a narrow window of temperature. When the body detects an infection, increasing its temperature may slow reproduction of the bacteria, which buys time for a more focused and customized response.
Some responses are targeted, like the manufacturing of antibodies specifically designed to bind to the bacterial cells and mark them for destruction by other parts of the immune system.
Not only does the body fight off the infection in several ways, it also "remembers" the event and response at some level. The next time a similar bacterium is detected, the body calls upon the battle plan that worked previously and destroys the intruder much more effectively. This is why vaccines work. Introducing a weakened version of the foreign element into the body mobilizes the body's defenses and teaches the body how to respond. When the "real" agent shows up, the body is ready and remembers what was effective before.
Organizations also have an "immune system." It's their powerful tendency to do the same thing tomorrow that they did yesterday. This creates a resistance to change that can be surprisingly robust. If you think about it, this phenomenon is not so much related to whether a particular change is good or bad. It is mostly caused by people trying to get work done. They tend to rely upon what has worked in the past and resist the disruption to their work that a new process might entail.
Here's an example: Imagine you are behind schedule trying to work through a backlog. A coworker tells you that the next release of the development tool has some neat debugging and tracing features that will save you a bunch of time after you get over the learning curve. Do you:
- Stop what you are doing, find and install the software, and read the manual, knowing that the time you save will more than make up for the
- Make a note to install the software when this sprint is complete and you have time to play with it a bit?
- Make a note to watch for Fred in the next cubicle to install it, knowing that when he has installed it (and stops whining) it will be ready for prime
- Politely tell this interloper to go away because you have work to do?
- Begin writing a folk song that nostalgically praises the current version of the tool?
Most of us find ourselves somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. It's not that we resist all change just for the sake of being belligerent (although you likely can think of several people who do exactly that); it's more that, if it isn't imperative, we will tend to delay. Repeated by everyone in the organization, this sensible behavior looks like resistance to

The IT management software and operations communities have been buzzing this week about reports that Microsoft acquired IT process automation vendor Opalis Software. We have unequivocally confirmed that this rumor is incorrect. Opalis has NOT been acquired by Microsoft. It remains an independent entity, at least for now.
Opalis, based outside of Toronto, has repeatedly reported impressive revenue growth over its short history. For the past few years, it has been a desirable morsel for larger vendors seeking to add strong process automation to their portfolios. Many have expressed interest, but its success allows Opalis to command a high premium that no suitor has yet been willing to pay.

Story highlights
- Take a helicopter to stay at a former Coast Guard light station
- Paddle your canoe several miles to a tree house along a black water river
- Book a safari-style modified tent in the middle of Texas Hill Country
These aren't your typical Southern escapes.
An African safari-style tent in the middle of Texas Hill Country. Skeet shooting from a former Coast Guard station 34 miles offshore. Remote treehouses in the middle of a blackwater river.
Heck, they're not your average vacations anywhere in the world.
Here are five unusual summer getaway ideas for travelers headed to the U.S. South, also featured in the summer issue of Garden & Gun magazine hitting newsstands May 16.
The Southern lifestyle magazine doesn't feature that many gardens or guns, although there's usually some kind of sport and garden in every issue. Borrowed from a 1970s Charleston disco called the Garden & Gun Club, the title is more a metaphor for the Southern lifestyle, heritage and land.
"People who remember it (the club) still speak of it with a dreamy look in their eyes," says editor in chief David DiBenedetto. Just like you might after one of these unusual trips:
Frying Pan Shoals Light Station, Southport, North Carolina
Once a light station that marked the shoals off the coast of Southport, North Carolina, for ships, the two-story Frying Pan Shoals Light Station now houses a bed-and-breakfast perched on a platform 32 miles off the coast of Cape Fear. The main level is 85 feet high, the helipad is at 95 feet and the top of the lighthouse is 130 feet high.
Built in 1964 for the U.S. Coast Guard and auctioned to new owner Richard Neal for $85,000 in 2010, the light station was typical of those stations built in the mid-1900s to replace light ships. The use of GPS in shipping made the stations obsolete.
Now the 5,000-square-foot space can host up to 14 guests in eight bedrooms. It's equipped with Wi-Fi, hot water, a driving range (with ocean-friendly biodegradable golf balls), a skeet range, spectacular fishing and incredible views.
It's a labor of love for Neal, who is still restoring the platform and raising funds to do more. That means some parts will be off-limits, and you'll sign a waiver before setting foot on the platform. Book your own transportation via helicopter, chartered boat or take your own boat to the station or pay for an all-inclusive package that includes transportation via boat.
"You're living and sleeping on top of a wild coral reef," says DiBenedetto. "Dolphin, tuna and whales come by. There is water as far as you can see. It's pretty wild and different."
Edisto River Treehouses, Canadys, South Carolina
For an experience truly detached from the modern world, consider a stay at the Edisto River Tree Houses. Built on an island in the middle of a private wildlife refuge along a free-flowing blackwater river, the treehouses are a 13-mile paddle downriver.
The color of a blackwater river is because of the tannic acid in the water, which is leached from the leaves of fallen trees along the river's edge. South Carolina's blackwater rivers start at springs in the Sandhills area of the state and meander until they empty into the Atlantic Ocean.
"It's like paddling back in time, and the river is slow moving, so it's an easy paddle," DiBenedetto says. Keep your eye out for alligators. Some canoeing experience is helpful to navigate fallen trees, which are often but not always cleared by volunteers taking care of the river.
This is a truly rustic stay: You have to bring your own sleeping bag, towels, food and water in the canoe. While the treehouses have cooking equipment and sleeping lofts, there's no electricity. Guests can cook on an outside grill and can use candles and torches at night.

"You can enjoy all the benefits of being a farmer without having to do the backbreaking labor," says DiBenedetto. "It's a great escape, especially for the family."
Sinya on Lone Man Creek, near Wimberley, Texas
If you want to go on an African safari but can't make the trip all the way to Africa, the safari-style tent at Sinya on Lone Man Creek may be for you and your beloved.
Located on a ridge overlooking Lone Man Creek in the Hill Country of Texas, Sinya is the spot for luxurious relaxation after a day of bird watching, hiking or fishing. Treasure hunters can poke around at the artists' booths at the nearby First Saturday Market or make the 40-minute drive to the big city lights of Austin. Dine out at restaurants in the nearby town of Wimberley or pick up provisions at the local market to cook your own dinner at Sinya.
Whatever your day, you can sit back on your veranda as the sun sets and enjoy a glass of local wine. You two will be all alone (no other tents or guests to distract you) to fall asleep in the king-size bed with goose down pillows and comforter. Wake up to the sounds of nature just outside your tent.
