Hello all. I'm in Cape Coral, Florida, and we just got the new on-screen guide a few hours ago. I had been getting Dolby Digital 5.1 audio on all channels offering that. But now with the new guide, it's just plain stereo.
I've got a Cisco RNG 200 HD DVR connected to my HDTV via the component cables and the Cisco's coax digital audio out is connected to the HDTV's coax digital audio in. I'm not using HDMI because with the Cisco and my HDTV, there's a bad audio/video sync problem with HDMI and using component and the coax digital audio output that issue is alleviated.
Before the new guide, I was able to get into the Cisco settings and set the audio output to Dolby Digital. But with the new guide, the only audio options I can find are mono, stereo and matrix.
Anyone know how I can get Dolby Digital 5.1 back?
Solved! Go to solution
Okay -- this is absolutely hilarious. I emailed Comcast support about my Dolby Digital issue now that my city has the new on-screen guide. They're telling me to get Dolby Digital back, I need to turn off the audio in the HDMI setting and that will send DD through the digital audio optical output of my Cisco box.
Is anyone at Comcast actually able to read and/or understand what a customer is telling them?
1. I am not using HDMI, I am using component connections because HDMI has an a/v sync issue.
2. I am using the digital audio coax connection (my surround sound system doesn't have digital optical).
And, by the way, they just raised the rates in Southwest Florida.
hello flaboy,
i'm having an issue with tnt-hd & amc-hd. n0 dolby digital 5.1 on sterio on these channels.
I am having the exact same problem on a new just out of shrinkwrap RNG200 (replacing my old RNG200 with audio dropouts, not authorized errors, and massive trouble on a few HD channels... but at least the 5.1 sound worked.
Current firmware is: S25p3.1109.r-27
There is NO way of getting to HDMI settings on this box, and thus no way to get better than 2.0 sound.
Currently connected via HDMI to an Onkyo 607 which can take the crappy PCM 2.0 audio and make something of it, but I'm really missing my Dolby Digital 5.1 sound.
Attempted to plug in an optical cable to see if that shook the box loose to no avail. Considering this thread has 400+ views... it MUST BE A PROBLEM.
Anyway, I chatted with a tech a couple of nights ago, and he was useless in helping me, assuming the audio setup option held the keys.
For the Record, this is what Audio Setup looks like:
Default Audio Track (Channel Default)
Audio Output (TV Speakers, Stereo, or Advanced)
Compression (None, Light, Heavy)
Stereo Output (Mono, Stereo, Matrix)
Optimal Stereo (Select to optimize)
Stereo on Audio Output leaves you with - Optimal Stereo (Select to optimize)... AND NO OTHER OPTIONS
Advanced gets you Compression, Stereo Output, and Optimal Stereo
For those of us that value sound and have receivers that process things properly... we want our options back. I'm sure its a software bug (I'm a former developer, and IT project manager... geeky enough to know) that wasn't caught in QA.
Techs: may i suggest you test this on a fresh box, and not one that is already configured properly then updated?
I am using HDMI and an optical cable for Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, however I cannot seem to get it to work. Can you help?
In order to have Dolby Digital 5.1 audio output to your surround sound system, you will need to turn HDMI audio OFF via the guide menu. Here are the steps:
If you wish to listen to the HDMI audio via the TV, you will have to turn HDMI audio On following the same steps above. This will allow the HDMI output to send the audio to the TV so the TV provides the audio.
Please note: These instructions do not apply if you have an RNG set-top box as the RNG box should pass both HDMI audio and optical audio simultaneously.
If you just received the guide last week (areas of VA, WV and NC) a software patch to address this issue is scheduled for this week. The software update will occur overnight automatically. I apologize for the inconvenience,
Please let me know if the above does not resolve. Thanks.
The attached may assist: http://por-chr.cimcontent.net/ui/pdf/meetyourguide/Audio_Setup_Guide.pdf
OK, I have an RNG200 box, as listed above... but it only ever outputs in PCM 2.0. Where is the Dolby Digital?
I do happen to be in Arlington, VA. Does the update announcement pertain to me and thus will I get a fix?
That's funny, mine will only do Dolby and I would rather have PCM! I think in Audio Setup, you can try Matrix. Hopefully this "update" is worth it to get to the new Tru2Way TRUE update at the end of the year. The 4:3 guide and loss of options, like PIP, setup options, etc., is pretty SAD!!

Your area in northern VA does already have the referenced software update. Let me see about the surround sound receiver that you have - Onkyo 607...
Have you unplugged the cable box and the Onkyo receiver from power and then plug back in to re-establish the HDMI handshake to the TV? Also you may want to try to disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable from the cable box and the receiver..
Do you have the same issue if you use a coaxial out or optical audio cable for digital audio?
Any word on this issue from anyone yet? I'm having the same problem with my RNG200 box. I do NOT have the option for HDMI in the menu settings. Only Stereo and Matrix.
I've power cycled my cable box, etc. Confirmed my home theater pc can pass through 5.1 surround sound to my Onkyo reciever then to my TV just fine....
I don't have a prior point of reference if this ever worked or not because I just got my tv service turned on again after a year a few weeks ago.
I'm trying to do as much research on my own as possible before having to resort to going through the motions of contacting tech support as I already can foresee this being a difficult thing to find someone on the other end to be able to assist me with.
I should NOT have to use an optical cable to achieve 5.1 surround sound on my TV. This should work through HDMI.
Correct, your RNG 200 won't have the guide menu options to select for HDMI because that box automatically passes Dolby Digital 5.0 audio via the HDMI.
Have you tried to disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cables? Sometimes the HDMI handshake just needs to be reestablished.
And what about an option to disable Dolby 5.1 and go back to PCM like the old guide had?
cjstrain - The previous guide software had an audio setting menu that allowed the customer an option to set their SPDIF audio output (Optical audio out) to PCM (Pulse Code Modulation audio) or Dolby Digital.
This new guide does not offer that option and outputs only Dolby Digital audio via the SPDIF audio output (optical audio out).
We have a solution that is already in our On-Screen Guide 2.0 http://www.xfinity.com/onscreenguide2 as a customer selectable option; the options for audio digital output in that guide are Dolby Digital, HDMI and Other (other being PCM).
On-Screen Guide 2.0 is already available to customers in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee and parts of Louisiana when they subscribe to our AnyRoom DVR service.

The winter of the baked potato
It seems that every winter we have a dish that gets done over and over (to death even). Last year it was osso bucco (from the Family table book). The year before soup. And a few years back it was risotto, to the point mr rabbit can no longer face mushroom risotto.
This year it's baked potatoes. So far our favourite topping has been mince and baked beans cooked with a taco seasoning, served with the potatoes, sour cream and avocado.
Any other ideas for us to try?

Re: The winter of the baked potato
Winter? It's summer where I am. 90 degrees out.
Speaking of potatoes, I did see something on Pinterest of interest: baking potatoes in chicken broth. Supposed to make for a crunchy outside and a fluffy inside. Has anyone tried it? I don't know how long to leave the potatoes in the oven.

Re: The winter of the baked potato
I'm in the southern hemisphere. But it'll still get to 22C here today.
I think you'd have to par boil and roast with oil to get that effect.

Re: The winter of the baked potato
have you ever done hasselback baked potatoes?
once it is almost done I brush the top with garlic butter and turn on broiler to get the top crispy brown.. topped wth crumbled bacon and chives or green onions and sour cream.

Re: The winter of the baked potato
My favourite is a small pat of butter, tasty cheese, sour cream, some crispy bacon and finished with coleslaw. Probably not that good for me but delicious!

Re: The winter of the baked potato
slice them 1cm thick and let them go in a little hot olive oil, in a non sticky pan or iron skillet until crispy and done, when they are roasted add a dust of powder veg stock and a little butter to colour

My daughter Charlotte's unique way of thinking about life has made me realize that not everyone sees things the way you expect them to, and that has opened me up to a much richer perspective in my management responsibilities. As a local general manager with public relations agency Hill+Knowlton Strategies, I have some employees who, like Charlotte, don't always follow the rules. I love working with these people, but it isn't always intuitive.

Man I'm jealous.
That is a really awesome fort…
You could add a little hand crank crane arm to help get heaver things up and down. I would pull the 2x4 anti-personal obstacles out of the ground. After you fall through the wire hitting those would really suck. Drive some 10 penny through a 2x4 (like a bed of nails) and screw them into the walls nails out to keep the bears from destroying the walls or trying to climb.
And if the little lady approves of something like that going in next to the house (assuming the 2 of you are not 8 years old) she is super cool.
lol.....she is a lot older than 8....old enough to be done with college and have job that makes twice as much as mine, which gives us extra money to build cool things.And if the little lady approves of something like that going in next to the house (assuming the 2 of you are not 8 years old) she is super cool.
THAT...is impressive. :-)
I was envisioning those 2x4's driven into the ground encircling the fortress wrapped with electric barb wire.........motion lights set up on sirens......flash bang cannons.......LOL.....ya get the idea. ;-) ohh I forgot to add.....running outta your house in the middle of the night as the sirens, lights, and flashbangs are going off in your undies holding a shotgun, and releasing the hounds......HA
Very awesome! Keep us posted on how it works for you!
If you wanted you could have all the entrances facing out and have each hive next to the other so you have 75% of the deck to work behind them. Plus you won't have forager bees constantly coming in on all sides. You would have to change feeders to do this but it's just a thought.
Yup, thats exactly what it is. So far its just one round three story tower that I live in and now the wooden bee tower but I have plans for three more connected towers with an enclosed courtyard.cool place looks like a straw bale house shaped like a castle in background ??
If yu have five german shepards that chase "beers" then it is no wonder you have to do patrols every twenty minutes. After so many beers the dogs aren't worth much are they.LOL
Nice bear fort.
don't forget to dip the sharp end of the pungee sticks in the outhouse hole before you use them. we had a bad bear year last year. they skipped the hives and came on the porch for the dog food, and a couple 40 pound boxes of pollen sub. good luck. justin
Just when I was beginning to think I was too obsessive over bees, and that perhaps I was putting too much time into working on hives and traps and whatnot.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!
I've got to show this to my disgruntled girlfriend.
Can't resist..... I have a dollar that says that the bears will eventually get the hives on the tower !! Perhaps not this year, but certainly during next year.
Nice straw bale house. Free stacked or framed? My family (mom and step dad and me) stuccoed them for a few years all over the west coast from Alaska to S. California- natural soil plasters of course. Like the bear fortress too - I hate trying to explain/defend my crazy ideas to people.....it doesn't matter if these things work or not, the best part is creating them.

Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
Updated pictures showing how it connects to the rest of the house. So far so good as far as bears go but as you can see one of my hives isn't doing so good.
This is an amazing thread. I laughed so hard I forgot about mosquito spray and have tears running down my cheeks. Not at the fort, which is mega cool, but at the responses.
I'd offer to swap you a weasel for your bear, but my weasel isn't nearly this expensive to defeat. I'm down to 5 hens, but haven't lost one in a month. (as long as my darned dog doesn't damage the run I'm good.)
Stuck in Texas. Learning Permaculture in drought, flood and strange weather. The bees are still alive.
When they finish the honey it gives a bridge to your kitchen! I don't think I'd go for the bridge. Just in case.
Stuck in Texas. Learning Permaculture in drought, flood and strange weather. The bees are still alive.
I'm no bear expert but it looks to me like you still may have to run an electric fence around the top railings of your bee fort.

darwin diary
getting off the plane was like walking into a sauna - my glasses fogged up - warm rain pounding on the tarmac, palm trees thrashing madly in the darkness.
6th floor - holiday inn darwin. i had to jimmy the sliding glass door to the balcony - guests aren't supposed to open them during the rainy season - apparently everything gets moldy, "even the cat." fuck that - i hate air conditioning. silent flashes of fork lightning illuminate black ranks of thunderclouds marching westward across the timor sea, to the north.
darwin is not a big town, maybe 70 or 80 thousand - but it's the biggest population center for 2500 miles - about equidistant from Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, and Jakarta, which is in fact the nearest of these. A first world city projected onto a third-world backdrop.
I'm here because it's the staging area for the UN transitional administration in east timor - I'm meeting with an international group involved in "capacity-building," helping to bring the timorese up to speed in the theory and practice of democratic elections, something they haven't had any experience with.
After 400 years of portugese rule, they were granted independance in 1975, only to be immediately invaded by the Indonesian Army, with attendant pillage and massacre - an event noted by Noam Chomsky and hardly anyone else since then. The legacy of the portugese is their religion: the east timorese are catholics, which distinguish them from the muslims of west timor, and the rest of indonesia.
In 1999 the UN finally succeeded in establishing the illegality of the indonesian occupation, and ran a referendum to let the east timorese decide whether to become a province of indonesia, or an independant state. In the weeks leading up to the referendum, truckloads of indonesian soldiers drove around waving machine guns and warning the locals that if they voted to secede, there would be another massacre. The population turned out in droves anyway, and voted overwhelmingly in favor of independance.
The reprisals were not long in coming. The indonesians burned every hospital, every school, every power plant, police station, and government office in the country. And unknown numbers of people were killed. The UN compound was surrounded by razor wire, then ordered to evacuate when it became clear that there was unsufficient force to protect them. Some of them refused to leave, reasoning that if they did the thousand or so refugees inside the compound would be slaughtered. I stayed up late one night drinking mini-bar whiskey with a couple of these people, who were never really sure that they wouldn't all be slaughtered anyway, they just couldn't bring themselves to leave, while mothers were passing their babies through the razor wire to try to save their lives.
It's an epic story, that i'm not qualified to relate - somebody sure as hell should. And it's far from over - there's an election this summer to elect a consituent assembly which will be charged with drafting a constitution - they don't even have a constitution yet!
as far as elections go, it seems rather futile, given the rough treatment democracy is receiving in the good old US of A - and satellites - lately. There's a conference in Quebec City in a few weeks that may determine the effective sovereignty of Canada, Mexico, South and Central America - and we aren't even allowed to know what's on the agenda! I have to keep telling myself that it's better than nothing, every little bit helps, etc. But if democracy isn't about what you do, how you participate as a citizen, on all the days you don't vote - then it doesn't really mean anything.

With Bernard, Hosley - Barden and Phillips now ruled out (profootballtalk.com) we have another chance for some players to step up - so who gets the looks.
Bernard - Without the big fella - Richardson has to be foaming at the mouth a bit (although he is not practicing due to his wifes pregnancy but playing on sunday). So who steps in? Kuhn and Austin. Neither have looked special in limited snaps but we will get a good look this Sunday at both of them. Although there is also the chance that they move JPP inside at times and maybe tuck too.
Phillips - Stevie Brown was good in the box last week - its his coverage down field thats a question. If the browns follow other teams and try to get the ball out quick this may not matter much Sunday - not to mention the browns Wideouts are banged up and not very deep.
Barden - Randle obviously gets a shot as a rookie here to be the number three - but while he has looked very good as a return man - the game seems a little to fast for him RIGHT NOW as a wideout. It will slow down and he will catch up - but is he ready week 5? Don't be surprised if Jernigan gets a shot too. I would think Bennett and the Hynoceros see some targets as well.
Hosley - Again this mean more Will Hill in the slot - kid can play and he will definitely be coming on a couple nickel blitzes.

Movie Review: Transformers: Dark of the Moon
The CGI work is brilliant, but the storyline and characters flub in Michael Bay's third Transformers installment.
Director: Michael Bay Rating: PG-13 Studio: Paramount Pictures
What can one possibly say about Transformers: Dark of the Moon, movie number three in what we hope will be the last of director Michael Bay's monstrously lucrative box-office trilogy about good and evil talking robots?
Well, let's see now. This one, which starts well enough with a 1960s flashback linking the Autobots and Decepticons with the Apollo moon landings and what looks like JFK in a rubber mask, brings back Shia LaBeouf as the geeky 'bot-magnet Sam. This time though, all grown up and a college grad, the once charming, energetic LaBeouf, mostly required by Ehren Kruger's script to run around and yell, now seems cocky, overly confident, off-putting and charm-challenged.
Rosie Huntington-Whitely has replaced Megan Fox (apparently canned for comparing Michael Bay to Hitler), and the aerodynamically stacked British rose with the Bardot upper lip, the Victoria's Secret bod and the blank stare seems (to put it mildly) highly improbably paired with her co-star. They generate zero chemistry.
What else? The racist 'bots from the abysmal Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen are happily absent only to be replaced by what seems like dozens of interchangeable 'bots who occasionally spout what sounds suspiciously like right-wing jingoism. The 3D effects by Industrial Light and Magic are vertiginous, jaw dropping and very dark and the CGI work—featuring a skyscraper nightmarishly folding into itself while cast members get hurled helter-skelter and Chicago getting destroyed by warring robots—is straight up astonishing. The movie's every attempt at humor is once again aimed at easily amused seven year olds, and way too many robots thrash the hell out of each other for what feels like endless amounts of screen time.
For any of us so hopelessly old school that we expect at least a sliver of story, character, point of view or a tasty performance—something, anything—to help us slog through 154 grotesquely bloated minutes of sound and fury, the pickings are slim. Josh Duhamel, Patrick Dempsey, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich and John Turturro mug, bellow, flounder, are mowed down by the chaos around them and earn what one hopes were healthy paychecks. The wonderful Alan Tudyk is wasted. Dark of the Moon nothing; this one's more like Where the Sun Don't Shine.

I checked my hives this weekend and one of two is dead. Inspection revealed ample pollen stores, some frames of honey, very very few capped brood (dead apparently), some few brood that was partially eaten for exiting and I could see the young bee inside, dead. Almost no adults maybe 5 or 6 total. The amount of honey left was likely not enough to make the winter, but certainly enough where they did not starve to death. No sign of wax moths anywhere, no sign of hive beatles. The big question is what happened. I thought maybe freeze to death but then I figured there should be more than a few bees around. My only thought at this time is they left. A month and a half ago when I looked they were fine, not booming and massive numbers but a good amount of bees with OK stores. Any thoughts as to what I should look at for more clues? Or ideas what may have happened?
My second hive looked good. I popped the top off and saw a good amount of bees. I removed the top medium and more bees were under this. I didnt poke around and remove frames or go below 3rd medium. I saw a good amount of bees and closed it back up. The reason I mention this hive is I did not see any guard bees at the landing board. Matter of fact, I saw a yellow jacket enter unchallenged. I put entrance reducer on the smallest amount and left. They had actually built a small amount of comb in the last month. I was amazed.
Next day I returned to mass robbing of the empty hive and the second hive with so much activity it looked like a huge flow was on. Bees were tripping over each other coming and going. bees all over the landing board and flying everywhere. I really do not know if it was being robbed or was doing the robbing next door. I suspect it was robbing as the color of bee matched fairly well. My hive is dark black and the bees robbing were dark black. Just so much activity it worried me.
I took the empty hive into the house, after shaking a large number of bees out of it. I was going to add the honey to the other hive but am somewhat nervous in case they are diseased.
I did see something curious. My bees are dark and look Carnolian-ish. But a few bees were REALLY dark with no hint of yellow. German black bees?? Ill look this week and try and get some jpegs if I see them again. I did think this hive is hotter than the other. It had a new queen this summer and the color of the bees changed to dark and the hive got hotter. Not HOT, but hotter also much more productive.
So questions.
1) Ideas on why my hive died
2) Should I do a complete inspection of 2nd hive, down to each medium?
3) OK to add frames of honey to 2nd hive
I know its early to lose a hive so I really need to be careful and do not want to lose the second. Thanks.

New York–based architect and Yale architecture dean Robert A.M. Stern is the 2011 winner of the Richard H. Driehaus Prize for Classical Architecture. In announcing the award, jury chair and Notre Dame architecture dean Michael Lykoudis says, "More than any other practicing architect today, Bob Stern has brought classicism into the public realm and the mainstream of the profession, reinvigorating it for generations to come."
The Driehaus prize was first presented in 2003 to architect and theorist Leon Krier, and the absence of Stern's name among the winners in the intervening years has long been the subject of conversation among professionals. The wait doesn't seem to bother Stern, who notes, "I'm joining a pantheon of friends and colleagues"—adding, apropos another Brooklyn-born intellectual, Ralph Kramden, "How sweet it is!"
While Stern has long built in traditional modes, his work is more diverse than many previous Driehaus recipients. His 15 Central Park West has been a hit in New York because of its use of brick and limestone reminiscent of other Upper West Side apartment buildings, but the 57-story Comcast Center in Philadelphia is hardly the sort or building you'd expect from Krier or Quinlan Terry, the 2005 Driehaus laureate. "Comcast is a traditional, iconic shape—an obelisk—but of our time and clad in glass," Stern says in describing how it fits with his other work.
The $200,000 prize remains architecture's largest prize to an individual—double that of the more established Pritzker Architecture Prize. "Quantities count," Stern says. "I intend to give mine to Yale, where it will further the study of classicism."
The award will be formally presented at a ceremony in Chicago on March 26, 2011.


text: I'm not happy with how the offense played today and we'll have to play better against Dallas (D was better though), but you can't deny that's a nice stat to have. Regardless of what happens with first round playoff exits, etc, the Giants have won a lot with him here. If someone told me in 2004 the Giants would have won a super bowl and be in playoff contention almost every year, I would've signed up for that. Look at teams like the browns, the vikings, redskins....they'd kill for that. Hell even the giant fans from the 60s and 70s can probably vouch here.

wlcome from albaster al
I am interested in several things about being a beekeeper. I understand I need to check out local laws and such. THe lots in my neighborhood are very small city lots, only 65'. I do not know if neighbors will be receptive to the idea. Can you add any info on how to deal with this matter. Will my neighbors be bothered by the bees? I read that I need to register the bees.
I'm not from AL but wanted to welcome you to the site from Upstate SC!

So, last time I was worried about too much pollen... seams like they took care of that, lots more space for larva and lots of eggs and little ones.
Now, it would seam that the bees are opening up some of the drone brood. And possibly... eating it? (They have lots of pollen, about three bars of honey, and capped stores at the top of all brood bars.) It looked like they were trying to eat out of the roughly uncapped cells similar to the honey eating they do when you open them up.
Anyway, I had quite a few bars (top bar hive) and a few 'patches' with drone brood. It looks like the cap is being chewed off, and the little pupae exposed. Some of them I couldn't see more than white, but it sure seamed like some had eyes on them. Some of the surrounding capped cells were emerging. Perhaps these are in the process of being capped? (but since the neighboring cell is hatching, and in some cases I know the larva were about to be capped on the 14th
I plucked out some of the suspicious ones, and found no mites. I plucked a few randomly from the hive (no mites). I did spot one mite (suspect) on a little worker. Prior to this, no mites spotted. Is this mite an indication I should do a more extensive check for infestation.
I can't tell because many cells remain uncapped, but could it be that they are done making drones? and converting those cells to workers?
This only appears to be happening to the drone brood. The worker brood seams fine.

I am pumped for Sunday. Have been since last January. I am sure all of you are too.I respect the Giants a lot. Vicious defensive line. MVP level QB. Top 2-3 receiving core in the league. Also, love the history of our teams in big games. Walsh v.Parcells. LT. Montana and Jim Burt. Roger's fumble. TO clowning and Strahan pointing at scoreboard. Williams' fumbles. Bowman's non-fumble recovery. Love all of it. Even the bitter moments. Here is what I am looking for on Sunday.This all pretty basic at this point. These two teams know each other well.
- Niners have to get to Manning (this is big time no brainer). Manning proved last year he is tough as coffin nail. The Smiths have to put him down early and often. Niners DBs are smart fast group, but they can't cover that receiving core forever.
- Giants safeties and linebackers v. Vernon Davis. He cannot be totally stopped, but Giants cannot let him run wild.
- Niners O-line v. Giants D-Line. Niners O-line is elite run blocking Unit. Vastly improved at pass blocking since you all have seen them last. Most of this is due to niners improved right side of oline. Staley has to contain JPP(lucky him). I assume Giants will try to bring pressure with 4 man front and rarely blitz. If niners can keep smith upright and get running game going they should be able to move ball pretty effectively.
Prediction, niners are mad and have had this game circled for quite some time. It's at home. Niners playing like gangbusters last two weeks. Game is close for three quarters. Niners running game wears down Giants by the end of third quarter and takes over game. Niners 34-Giants 20. Then we see each other again in January when Giants are on hot streak and suddenly playing like 85 Bears. That's when the Niners really need to prove they are championship team.

Mount Irvine Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Matthew Holliman
|Route Climbed: NE Ridge (ascent) / SW Ridge (descent) Date Climbed: July 3, 2005
|Dayhike out of the Meysan Lakes TH, continuing on to McAdie and returning via the Whitney trail. Carried axe and crampons, but never used them all day. Irvine's NE Ridge was an easy but surprisingly enjoyable scramble, with some outstanding views in a truly beautiful area.
|Posted Jul 20, 2005 11:08 pm
|Route Climbed: East Couloir Date Climbed: July 2, 2005
|The Meyson Lakes trail is now my favorite trail in the Sierra; probably one of my favorite places to camp except for all the mosquitoes. There was lots of snow left up there from this last winter making for an fun trip up the couloir and great views of the surrounding peaks from the top.
|Posted Jul 4, 2005 12:54 am
|Route Climbed: North West Ridge (from Whitney trail/Consulation Lake) Date Climbed: June 24th, 2005
|Interesting and windy class 3 scramble. From Outpost Camp to summit and back in 5 hrs.
|Posted Jun 25, 2005 10:15 pm
|Bob Burd
|Route Climbed: From Arc Pass Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2004
|Day 9 of the 2004 Sierra Challenge, climbed McAdie with Michael and Michelle, then went on to Irvine with Michael, 8h40m RT from Whitney Portal. Trip Report
|Posted Nov 19, 2004 6:15 pm
|Route Climbed: East Chute Date Climbed: March 20, 2004
|First one up for the new year. The snow in the chute was perfect for climbing on and made a great glissade on the way down. Had a great and lonely view from the summit.
|Posted Mar 21, 2004 2:46 pm
|Route Climbed: NW face from Arc Pass Date Climbed: September 18, 1999
|Spent rthe better part of a day trying to figure out a way up the NW face from Arc Pass but finally gave up. Lots of fun scrambling, but no summit. In retrospect, should have gone up McAdie.
|Posted Jan 23, 2004 1:33 pm
|Route Climbed: W. Face from meysan lake trail Date Climbed: 1993
|Posted Jan 18, 2004 4:47 am
|Route Climbed: South slope via Mallory's Northwest ridge Date Climbed: August 29th, 2003
|After the fun class 3 down climb off Mallory's Northwest ridge I was forced to chug my way up the South slope, which is slippery and oh so tiring. Irvine was the last peak on my traverse from Corcoran.
|Posted Aug 30, 2003 7:42 pm
|Route Climbed: East Buttress V, 5.9 Date Climbed: August 24,25 1987
|Gerry Cox and I climbed this long, classic, and in the 1st RJ Secor's Edition, somewhat underrated route (III,5.7) in 1997. We found 17 pitches with at least some 5.9 climbing, 400 feet of 4th class on the upper buttress, and ton of 3rd/4th scrambling on the summit ridge. Greg Vernon later said, haven't you guys climbed any other Al Greene routes? These guys were known for sandbagging! Really? Anyway, this is a good line (with fairly short approach), especially if you can climb all these pitches in one day and descent the snow gully before it gets firm (IV+ or V,5.9).
|Posted Nov 20, 2002 10:11 pm

|Route Climbed: East Chute Date Climbed: September 2000
|Nice view from the top.

Olive grower invites public to harvest
Members of the public are invited to help harvest Dos Aguilas olives this weekend in exchange for the Aptos grower's award-winning extra-virgin olive oil.
A person can handpick about a pound of olives a minute. For every 100 pounds harvested, the picker will receive a 750-milliliter (wine) bottle of Dos Aguilas EVOO valued at $36. Alternatively, pickers can split their complimentary oil into two bottles: one of Olio Nuovo, straight from the press, and a second bottling of finished oil that will be ready in March.
The pick will be Saturday and Sunday. Register at www.dosaguilasoil.com by calling Roger at 252-0752. In the event of rain, the pick will be postponed for Jan. 12-13 and a notice posted on the website.
A release party is set for March 17 and will include oil and wine tastings, appetizers, cured olives -- attendees are encouraged to bring their own -- and bocci ball.
Bonny Doon Vineyards tasting room to reopen
Le Cigare Volant, Bonny Doon Vineyards' restaurant in Westside Santa Cruz, officially closed Sunday.
Cellar Door, as it was called back then, opened in 2009 in the Swift Street Courtyard. A rebranding strategy nine months ago brought the new name -- Le Cigare Volant was a nod both to "Frasier" and to the wine that put Randall Grahm's vineyard on the map -- and a new chef, Ryan Shelton from the Michelin two-starred Baume in Palo Alto.
Following a holiday break, the tasting room at 328 Ingalls St. will reopen at noon Jan. 9 with tasting flights, wines by the glass and retail sales. Hours from then on will be noon to 6 p.m. Call 425-4518 or visit www.bonnydoonvineyard.com.

Movie Review: Inside Llewyn Davis

The Coen brothers' portrait of an aspiring 1960s folk musician is one of the great films of 2013.

Director: Ethan Coen & Joel Coen
Rating: R
Studio: StudioCanal
Stars: Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, John Goodman
Ethan and Joel Coen and company make something tough, wry, sweet and heart-tugging out of Inside Llewyn Davis. The movie, a character piece, is set in and around the coffeehouse, folk music Greenwich Village scene of the very early 1960s, and it charts one terrible week in the life of the fictional title singer-songwriter (Oscar Isaac), a struggling troubadour who may or may not have the stuff of stardom but who certainly doesn't have the luck. In fact, the guy seems to be in a freefall from which he doesn't look likely to pull out in time.
A 30ish working-class son of a merchant marine, our hero is forever broke, morose, homeless and hungry, dragging his guitar case and walking gray, freezing New York streets without winter gear. He mostly crashes on the couches of artist friends like singers Jim and Jean Berkey (played by Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan) and pushing to the limit the patience and tender mercies of those who believe in his talent, like a pair of Columbia boho academics (Robin Bartlett and Ethan Phillips) whose cat (a standout performance!) he carelessly loses and chases around the city. Davis is an irresponsible user, openly disdainful of other singers and a master of self-sabotage. He's even gotten Jean pregnant and in need of an abortion and, while we might sympathize with her, as played by Mulligan the character is merely perpetually angry, charmless and one-note. Timberlake, whose movie work to date has been pretty patchy, is just right here. It's too bad, though, that since Jim and Jean were real-life folksingers with extraordinary voices, neither Timberlake nor Mulligan even attempt to emulate their distinctive sound.
The script might make you want to hate Llewyn Davis, but when Isaac sings and strums bracingly great stuff like Dave Van Ronk's signature "Hang Me, Oh Hang Me," as he does in a magically scene-setting opening sequence, we glimpse the guy's gypsy soul. And, in a scene when he and Timberlake do session work on a space-age, antidraft novelty number called "Please Mr. Kennedy," you want to toss your cap in the air, it's so blissfully, goofily good. The period-authentic music in the film like "Fare Thee Well (Dink's Song)" and "Green, Green Rocky Road," executive produced by T Bone Burnett and performed by Isaac, Timberlake, Stark Sands, Marcus Mumford and others, is almost unfailingly authentic and gorgeous. It's impossible to take your eyes off Isaac in the centerpiece role. He's compelling, unapologetic, arrogant and heart-crushing in his hunger for a career that will put food on the table without his compromising his artistic integrity. It's a performance as melancholy and gray as the snowy windswept streets of New York and Chicago photographed by the masterly Bruno Delbonnel.
The film takes a deeply weird, absolutely right hitchhiking road trip with a broken-down, acid-tongued jazz player (John Goodman) and his largely mute driver/companion (Garrett Hedlund); it only deepens and enriches the film's sense of loss and its observations on the nature of fame. Inside Llewyn Davis haunts. It's one of the greats of 2013.

Whitepine your stars are beautiful!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Wow..wow...Whitepine, that is going to be a beautiful quilt!! The blocks look gorgeous!! I love turquoise.
Last edited by nygal; 01-22-2013 at 12:32 PM.
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
Twoxover, I emailed Carol Daok to ask how much fabric to make all of the backgrounds the same. She didn't know how much to buy. I bought 7 yards for my background and had enough with a little left. I can't wait to see your blocks. Anael your Alabama is beautiful. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more
Anael, your first block is beautiful. Can't wait to see the rest. I just got my quilt back from Charisma. Need to do the binding then I will post a pic. I love it.
Anael--that is a nice first block. I look forward to seeing more!
Anael, I too had trouble getting a full 12.5" block so I cheated and cut the last pieces bigger. For example, on Alabama, the last two pieces on sections A & B call for 3.75" and 4.75". I cut the squares at 4" and 5". This gave me the extra I needed with no worries.
Thanks TeddybearLady and NYgal.
Good to know I"m not the only one having trouble getting a full 12.5" block. Thanks for the advice whitepine! And thanks all for the compliments on my first block
Eat, quilt, sleep, repeat
Just stopped by to see what was being posted and noticed the last few comments on size. If you do not trim the block until the 4 quadrants are sewn into a square, then remove the paper and press, you can then trim it to perfect size. I always did that and had no problem with size.

Internet Explorer, HTTPS and file downloads: "The file could not be written to the cache"Published August 17th, 2011
[Please see update below for a proper fix]
Today I received an email from a client that had just moved their site over to SSL (i.e. HTTPS) — they were no longer able to download files in Internet Explorer. When they tried to do so, a message would appear:
Unable to download...[file name]
The file could not be written to the cache
(an alternative error message is "Internet Explorer cannot download [file name] from [site].
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.")
I tried various suggestions: different response headers, settings to do with saving encrypted files, and even tried (and failed) to install a couple of hotfixes.
In the end, I'd nearly given up when I found this knowledgebase article and decided to have a go at manually adding the BypassSSLNoCacheCheck registry key.
Short story, it worked. It's not great since it requires the user to do something — I couldn't fix it server-side — but it was OK in this case because the site was an intranet so their IT people could sort it. Anyway, I hope this helps someone else out there…
UPDATE: OK, after a lot more experimentation I found a proper solution that doesn't involve registry updates!
It's a long story but it turns out that PHP was automatically sending an extra header ("Pragma: no-cache") that I hadn't noticed. So, I set the headers as follows:
header("Cache-Control: private");
header( "Pragma: private" );
…which overrides the automated headers and appears to solve the problem. Hurray!

We got up in the morning and tackled the cold outdoor showers as our hair was starting to get a little greasy. Needless to say the shower sucked but we were clean again and happy once we got back into dry clothes. Then with little to do we were off straight away again.
Our first stop a couple hours down the road was the Valley of the Giants canopy walk. After not being able to do the canopy walk in Kuala Lumpur we were excited for this one. Basically it's a steel ramp that winds through a forest of massive trees and the highest spot is 40m. Right away James started to sway the bridge a little, once he saw how uneasy I (Jackie) was on the little unsteady catwalks. I had no idea that I would feel so shaky up there and my legs would turn to gelly so bad. I used to be afraid of bridges when I was younger but I had thought that fear was long gone, guess not quite
After the canopy walk there is the ground walk and we snapped a bunch more pictures walking in and out of the huge hollowed trees. Then there was a little information room back at the ticket area and we found a map with places to see in the surrounding area. We saw a picture of a beautiful beach called Conspicuous bay and decided we would make the stop along our way.
When we got to the parking for the bay we pulled out our supplies and made hamburgers for lunch (we're spoiling ourselves!). Then we packed back up and headed down to the beach. Our jaws dropped when we got down there. It's unsupervised and was totally deserted and you'll have to look at the pictures to see just how amazing it was. James immediately started to jump around like a little kid and I ran straight to the water. James spotted something washed up in the sand and decided it was either a jellyfish of some sort.....or a condom. We spent quite a while just walking along the beach taking pictures and playing around. This has been our favourite stop so far.
Afterwards we had a little ways to drive down the highway yet and then it was time to find a campsite. We got pretty lost and it took quite some time to find a site because the sites we were looking for from two different camping books we had ended up not existing (we even asked at a gas station and they said one was just a boat dock with no camping) and so we had to drive all the way around the lake and back to where the campsite actually was.

This is the first solo album by Craig Terris, perhaps best known as drummer from dulcet Kiwi country rock band Cassette and a number of other bands out of Wellington, as well as being sticksman for the likes of Lawrence Arabia, among others.
Even though much of Cassette's recorded material moseyed along with some good dusty energy, live they were a more full-on and fun proposition.
On Bleat Your Heart Out, Terris combines both approaches to come up with his own sound that is at times rollicking and cheeky (like on the thigh-slapping clap-along of How Do I Speak) but then grand and regal (like on the brassy, almost orchestral opener, If We All Come Clean).
It's the three tracks at the centre of the album where Terris is at his most interesting. Ghost of Our Neighbourhood morphs magically from an acoustic refrain into a pulsing, blues ditty; then there's Oldest One, a song possessed by a bass-driven momentum and an arcing whammy guitar (played by Shihad's Phil Knight).
And multi-part epic Ahead of the Storm sounds like Shihad's Brightest Star before veering off on to a higher plain of lush melodicism.
Although there are some dark moments here, it doesn't stop the whole album from being a delight.
Stars: 4/5
Verdict: Cassette drummer goes it alone on charming and intriguing debut outing

Chargers Game Preview vs, Jets: Analysis, Predictions
December 20, 2012at 12:00 PM Posted by Jeremy Meyer
3 comments:
Oh Thank God this season is almost over!!!!! The last road game for Norv as a Charger...oddly enough against a Team that we lost to not too long ago in a critical playoff game - REMEMBER THAT ONE!!?? Now the Jets are QB stupid and it is a game we should win...huh what am I saying, that was last week you know a game we should easily have won?? Well, either way, I see us winning with our Defense, certainly not because of our Offense. The last televised game for us all year , i doubt the Raiders game will be sold out...hell you think I am embarrassed by the Bolts this year...any Raider fan must be freakin' unmentionably embarrassed...and that my friends in Bolt Land makes me SOOOO VERY HAPPY!!! For now, enjoy the end of an era...Norvitus will be cut from the Bolts and sent packing, and AJ ,I can and am hoping, is driving his own U-Haul outta town!!!!!
Oh boy... I don't know bout this one RH. It's going to be tough to win in NY even against a rotten Jets team. The Bolts are playing for pride and that may help us but it's going to be a tough one to win due to all the injuries. I would LOVE to see Meachum do something good. But, if he did, we'd all be saying, "where was that all year?" But I really do hate the Jets and the fact that they get so much press over there on ESPN makes me hate them more. B-O-L-T-S Bolts Bolts Bolts!!!!
I agree...BUT it would be a sweet win just because it is the Jets! We can play down for a better draft pick I suppose but hell it is the Jets!!! Enjoy an actual Chargers game on TV and the Holiday...only one week left and then BUUUUUHHHHH BYE Norv and AJ!! Not a bad X-Mas present after all??!!

Joey Bada$$ "Christ Conscious"
It's either super late or super early. Either way I'm still running off these tunes (and some photo edits too). Here's some new Joey Bada$$ entitled "Christ Conscious" which I just found on Tumblr. It comes to us a week after the release of "Get Paid". Joey's next album 'B4DA$$' is officially complete and almost ready to be released. More on the way!
UPDATE: Here is the official video.

A burglar pushed a refrigerator and a stove out a second story window of a Middle Smithfield Township home and then made off with the items, State Police at Swiftwater said.
Police said the items were lowered onto a deck 15 feet below the window, causing the refrigerator and stove to break.
The burglary occurred sometime between Dec. 1 and Dec. 24. on Captains Way.
Police believe that the refrigerator and the stove were stolen for scrap metal.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sylvia, May 13, 2012.
Wow, his abs are just unreal!
Figure skaters are fit, no denying. Pulling off Draper's cool and Seibert's choreo will require a lot more than abs, but I'm certain AdaRipp is up to the task -- it's that 3-axel he must truly conquer to excel.
Sounds very promising and different for him. He's even getting a new look! Hopefully a new fit for his customes as well. The flowy tops with soft colors he usually wears don't make him any favors, very vanilla imo
^^ Of course! He will be looking very debonair and cool, likely in a comfortable for skating version of a 3-piece suit, eh?
minimum some man-cleavage!
He needs to show off that incredible bod!!
We should be calling him Ripped Abs.
His legs too.
Figure skating costumes really hide how fit these athletes are.
LeDuc? The 3A is inconsistent though. I don't think he has found a new partner yet.
Yeah, Leduc is one answer to winterone's question of "Are there any Pairs guys out there with a 3x, 3 lz and triple triple combos ?".
And Skittl1231, you're are correct: he has not found a new partner yet, as of last week.
He's currently working on his Senior (singles) Free Skate to test this summer. He hadn't tested it following his last competitive singles season... which was at the Junior level a few years ago.
Thanks for the LeDuc update, Rochelle. I've cross-posted it in the U.S. Pairs news thread.
The Senior men registered so far for the Liberty Summer Competition in mid-July are:
Ross Miner (believe he will only compete 1 program?), Keegan Messing, Max Aaron, Harrison Choate, Timothy Koleto, Emmanuel Savary, and Paul Parkinson (ITA). Wesley Campbell has stated publicly that he is planning to compete as well.
Ooh! I wonder if he'll go back to competing singles. Last I talked to him it was "no way"- but comments like that can change pretty quickly. He might just want the test though.
I don't mean to sound superficial, but what will he do with his hair? Don Draper and Raphaelite curls do not mix!!!!
I guess you haven't yet clicked on the 2 Twitter photo links posted earlier in this thread, Yazmeen? (hint: ponytail)
Tim is taking his Senior Free test in the Quad Cities on June 8.
A lot of people have been asking, so just to let you all know, Keegan is only competing at Liberty and Glacier Falls this summer. No Skate Detroit.
Also registered now: Brandon Mroz, Wesley Campbell, Timothy LeDuc (SP only), and Luiz Manella (BRA).
ETA: It looks like Stephen Carriere plans to start his season at the Lake Placid FS comp. the last weekend in June.
Article about Ross Miner's new programs and choreographers: http://web.icenetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120605&content_id=32790746&vkey=ice_news
Oh I didn't realise that Catarina Lindgren was Tom Dickson's wife.
Looking forward to new programs (and choreographers) from Ross .
Yeah, I learned that from Manleywoman's podcast. Tom said something like how she draws the costumes he has in mind for his skaters since he cannot draw at all.
I've heard that Jason Brown still does not have a 3x. Do you think USFSA will keep holding him up if he doesn't get a 3x by nationals? Just sayn.
Sorry for the errors...I am a Victim....of the Bad schools in the US. Teachers Unions....stink...Go Scott Walker.
Where are you hearing this from? Someone at his rinks? AJ? Desperate because I'm starving for Jason news.
At any rate, he has landed them in the past - he did a two-footed one at Glacier Falls I think last year - so I believe he will get it. Hopefully he is prepared to consider all options if he's not landing it. I know he thinks Kori is wonderful, but I hope someone has told him that there's nothing wrong with bringing in another coach to fix the 3A.
I've heard he spells his name J-A-S-O-N.
I've also heard that the apostrophe should go between the I and the v.
I've also heard that it should be spelled "saying," and it's not a synonym for "asking."
Given the four above errors, why should anyone put any credence to anything you're just saying?
Just asking.
You are awesome.
What do you mean 'holding up'?
If anything he was getting marked down last season because of the lack of 3axel, given how excellent his program construction was and how well he was performing them.
He did get a pretty big boost at Nats, but agreed, the international judges were pretty hard on the lack of 3A. He definitely got the PCS he deserved at JW though, and all his other elements are flawless, so...
However, I would not listen to this person. There seems to be some kind of irrational hatred of Jason going on here. Perhaps jealousy?
I would say that Brown's FS was the best choreographed program at US Nationals. Abott's FS was probably close but nobody else was anywhere near.
I`ve also heard that FSU was an international forum, where non-English native speakers and writers were welcome. So what do apostrophes and their use have to do with credence in this context?

Although depression may occur only one time during your life, usually people have multiple episodes of depression. During these episodes, symptoms occur most of the day, nearly every day and may include:
For many people with depression, symptoms usually are severe enough to cause noticeable problems in day-to-day activities, such as work, school, social activities or relationships with others. Other people may feel generally miserable or unhappy without really knowing why.
Common signs and symptoms of depression in children and teenagers are similar to those of adults, but there can be some differences.
Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can demonstrate irritability without sadness or loss of interest. However, major depression can occur with ADHD.
Depression is not a normal part of growing older, and it should never be taken lightly. Unfortunately, depression often goes undiagnosed and untreated in older adults, and they may feel reluctant to seek help. Symptoms of depression may be different or less obvious in older adults, such as:
If you feel depressed, make an appointment to see your doctor as soon as you can. If you're reluctant to seek treatment, talk to a friend or loved one, a health care professional, a faith leader, or someone else you trust.

NE Bend neighborhood rattled by shootings
Two drive-by shootings in less than two weeks
BEND,Ore. - For the second time in less than two weeks, gunfire erupts in a Northeast Bend neighborhood and police are still searching for the suspect or suspects.
The first time gunshots rattled residents off of Eagle Road, earlier this month, a particular house was targeted. Now, it's unclear whether that home was again the focus Monday night, when more gunshots were fired in the very same area.
Deschutes County sheriff's deputies said at present, they don't believe the shootings are related, but aren't ruling out that possibility and are still investigating.
NewsChannel 21 spoke with a man who lives near the house sprayed with bullets on Feb. 1, and he says the similarities are scary.
At 9:15 Monday night, homeowners in the neighborhood heard "pop, pop, pop, pop, pop-pop-pop," said a resident who didn't want to be identified.
Some people who live nearby ran to their front doors, thinking someone was frantically knocking. But others, like the man NewsChannel 21 interviewed...knew better.
"It was someone squeezing off the trigger as fast as they could," the Bend man said.
Two weeks ago, someone shot out the windows in a home off Bunchgrass Lane while the family slept inside. Our camera captured the damage done, both inside the home and in the driveway.
"There was a lot of vandalism to the cars and stuff, someone spray painted some cars," the man said.
Police are not releasing anything about the first shooting, or whether they have any suspects. The lack of information is frustrating people who live there.
"It's someone who's very stupid and has no regard for the laws and people's safety," the man said.
Nothing was vandalized Monday night, and police say they are not sure the two reports of drive-by shootings are related. But residents are convinced.
"The way they pulled the trigger, it was exactly the same as last time," the man said. "I mean, it was like deja vu."
Only this time, the man says the shooter did not peel out afterward, like people heard the first time. Prompting even more concern -- the gunman apparently is not worried about getting caught.
"It's scary because of all the things going on nationwide with gun violence," the man said. " Yeah, it's getting really scary."
Packed with families and young children, the neighborhood is eager for an arrest.
The first drive-by shooting, on Feb. 1, is a Crime Stoppers case. If you have any information on it, please contact the tip line at 1-877-876-tips, or use the form on KTVZ.COM's Crime Stoppers page. You don't have to give your name, and you could get a cash reward if your tip leads to an arrest.

Separate names with a comma.
In-Ear item created by MrProggie, Aug 8, 2010
Pros - Pleasurable sound hard not to like
Cons - Does not always sit comfortable in your ears.
Really enjoyed these right out of the box. Sound does not change much through burn in period (fortunately). Wide soundstage. Not too bassy, just perfect.Good build quality. Appears to be a league above Meelec M9 when it comes to sound quality.
If you are able to get these for 40 dollars or less they're a best buy you should not let pass.

Barcaldine's charming facade, one that has earned it the tag of 'Garden City of the West', hides tumultuous tales of a controversial past.
In 1891, five years after the railway push into the outback helped to establish the township, Barcaldine became the headquarters of the great shearers' strike. One thousand shearers laid down their blades in a defiant protest that reverberated around the nation and resulted in the formation of the Australia Labor Party and a graziers' group that later evolved into the National Party. An enduring symbol of the strike lives on today in the Tree of Knowledge, the imposing memorial to the famous ghost gum in the town's main street where the strike meetings were held. Unfortunately, the gum itself was poisoned in 2006, but the memorial built around the original stump is a wonderful display of modern art and timber workmanship.
The Australian Workers Heritage Centre is a national project commemorating not just these events, which changed the course of the nation's working history, but is a tribute to all Australian working men and women. Set in over five acres of landscaped gardens, it is also home to the Wanpa-rda Matilda Outback Education Centre, which is a unique residential facility for schools and community groups.
Barcaldine is also home to the old world Radio Theatre, complete with its canvas seats, and the working windmill that pumps water into the sculpture designed and erected by the Youth of Barcaldine, which stands outside the information centre.
Barcaldine is situated at the junction of the Capricorn and Matilda (Landsborough) Highways. Many visitors use Barcaldine as a base from which to explore central west Queensland. The extensive range of accommodation and shopping facilities make Barcaldine a relaxing place to stay, recover and explore.

But once I saw the extended versions of the LotR I was very pleased. He really did fit in almost everything I missed. So I don't think you can really blame Peter Jackson, he does what he can for the fans. And I understand why he cut the battle in the Shire for example, it would make the Return of the King anti-climatic and drag on too long. But I did miss Saruman's death though... but he included that in the extended versions, perfect for me.
Overall I'm very happy with Peter Jackson's work. Having watched the Making Of discs, I realize that Peter Jackson really has a passion for getting it right because he loves Tolkien's work. And I think most of his cast and crew are like this as well, so I'm sure that even when they change things they do it to make it better. Or at least, that's their intention.

|Re: st: An allowance for clustering should only increase SE's?
|Wed, 13 Apr 2005 12:29:17 -0400
Dear statalist,
I have survey data of patients clustered within a sample of hospitals.
If I use:
svyset [pweight=weight], psu(hospital) clear
svymean outcome
this sometimes gives me a SE less than if I had ignored the clustering in
the sample:
svyset [pweight=weight], clear
svymean outcome
I suppose this is because there is rather less variation between cluster
means than within clusters.
But shouldn't an allowance for clustering in the sample increase the SE, not
reduce it?
I understand the formula for the sampling variance from a cluster sample is
var(C) = var(R)*[1+(N-1)*rho]
where var(C) is the variance from the cluster sample of equal size clusters,
var(R) is the variance from a simple random sample of the same size, N is the size of a cluster, and
rho is the intracluster correlation which must be between 0 and 1.
So var(C) must be greater than var(R).
For some outcomes using the psu( ) option increases the SE and for others
(as mentioned above) it decreases the SE.
The average change for all the outcomes is probably a small increase.
Should I use the psu( ) option only if it increases SE's?
Or should I always use the psu( ) option and just accept that this will
sometimes decrease SE's?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

noun, a series of clips from a favorite television show set to music as a tribute to the program. Morontages are most often found on youtube when one is searching for a particular clip, clicks on a link only to find some moron has taken the time to create this form of personal tribute, most often not labeling it as such.
I was looking on youtube for a clip from last week's episode of The Office and clicked on four different morontages of Pam and Jim.
