I would like to just try to play around with it before I commit to a
book. The repeated measure terms (MeasurerID, SubjectID) are not
nested. I think I would like to model with these as random effects and
measurer type as a fixed effect, having multiple measurements for each
and not being interested in individual subjects or measurers.
xi:xtmixed Result i.MeasurerType || SubjectID: || MeasurerID:
is *not* right for this, but I can't see any mention of non-nested
models in the help.

An enhanced Outdoor Living Area with a Mediterranean theme, the Schlossmann's Dodge City Chrysler Jeep Vehicle Display, and an Interior Design Contest between local colleges are some of the attractions at the 51st annual Milwaukee/NARI Home Improvement Show at the Wisconsin Exposition Center at State Fair Park in West Allis, Thurs., Feb. 7, through Sun., Feb. 10.
The Show's Outdoor Living Area will feature a Mediterranean theme, with landscaping, hardscaping, and water features. The following Milwaukee/NARI members are participating in the Outdoor Living Area construction:
• Aquatica, a division of Dean Pipito Waterfeatures, LLC: Creating an elegant and enjoyable water feature that can stand alone in any landscape, the Mediterranean themed feature will bring movement and sound, along with the vision of falling water over classical urns and statuary.
• Nite Time Decor by Bold Illuminations: Outdoor LED lighting to enhance the overall display space.
• Breezy Hill Nursery, Inc.: Whether it's the presence of a quaint trickle of water, the naturally warm colors of the paved sitting area, the rustic appeal of the overhead pergola, or the idea of a relaxed game of Bocce Ball, this display contains all the elements of a desired Mediterranean getaway.
• Exteriors Unlimited Landscape Contractors, Inc.: The space will feature a natural stone fire pit, honed limestone grilling station with integrated bar seating, and a rustic cedar pergola. The distinct areas will be tied together with the use of Brussels tumbled pavers that resemble the classic time-worn, hand-hewn cobblestones from the streets of early American settlements. The same look is carried upward into the seat walls and pillars. Using a wooden pergola that extends the landscape vertically and is silhouetted by an overhead canopy of trees creates feelings of intimacy, warmth, and protection.
• Ground Affects Landscaping, Inc.: Welcomed by a bubbling urn, Show attendees will enter the outdoor room through the main entrance under a cedar Arbor with cast stone columns. The paver patio displays two styles of brick that coincide to create a beautiful and functional space. The space includes shade trees and plantings, a Holly bush, Hyacinths in full bloom, along with daffodils and tulips. Landscape lighting and a natural stone raised fire element complete the living space.
• Innovative Exteriors Landscape: The space will use a combination stone products with Fond du Lac flagstone steppers and a man-made aspect with walkway pavers and flooring in the fireplace area. The walkways will be covered with a pergola that uses both natural wood and wrought iron to create views to the center area's focal point. A sitting area along the walkway will feature flagstone steppers surrounded by tall evergreens and perennials.
Attendees will have an opportunity to serve as judges of an Interior Design Contest sponsored by Nehmey Construction, which will pit students from Gateway Technical College, Milwaukee Area Technical College, and Waukesha County Technical College each designing and creating a 12' x 12' garage with a "man-cave" theme. The participating schools will each receive $1,000 for the school's interior design program.
Providing attendees with a central location to learn about the various components of the country's largest home improvement council, the Milwaukee/NARI Information Center will have members from different areas of the association, including Membership, Education/Certification, and the Milwaukee/NARI Foundation, the association's charitable arm. At least one of the association's Certified Professionals will be in the Information Center at all times to answer consumer inquiries relating to home improvement and remodeling.
The Grand Appliance and TV Coffee and Media Lounge will provide an area for Show attendees to relax as they walk the aisles, as well as enjoy a complimentary cup of Alterra Coffee on Feb. 7 and Feb. 8 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., and on Feb. 9 and Feb. 10 from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Ultimate Confections will be at the Show during its entire run selling an assortment fine chocolates and other treats in time for Valentine's Day.
The latest 2013 cars and trucks will be shown inside the expo center in the Schlossmann's Dodge City Chrysler Jeep Vehicle Display, including the all new Ram 1500, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Durango, and a Chrysler 200.
On Feb. 8, the first 200 attendees will receive a Valentine carnation courtesy of Locker's Floral.
The Kids Creative Zone sponsored by Advantage Carpentry and Remodeling, will be open Feb. 9 and Feb 10, featuring arts, crafts, face painting by Milwaukee Face Painter (1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. on Feb. 9 and 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Feb. 10), interactive activities, and an opportunity to take a photo with Gerry the Carpenter Ant, Milwaukee/NARI's mascot, 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. each day.
During the Show, educational demonstrations and seminars by home improvement experts and media celebrities will be held, including presentations on the Renewal by Andersen Seminar Stage by Bonnie Schneider, CNN/HLN Meteorologist and DIY Network weather expert, presented by Allrite Home & Remodeling, discussing "Extreme Weather," Melinda Myers, The Plant Doctor, Gus Gnorski, Lis Friemoth, "The Garden Hoe", and Tom Feiza, Mr. Fix-It, presented by J&B Construction, Inc. The Mukwonago Remodeling Cooking Demonstration Stage will feature area chefs and national cooking celebrities, including Mad Dog & Merrill, the Grilling Buddies, and Patricia Katopes, Food Network "Cupcake Wars" Winner. In addition, the Show will also feature live music featuring Scott E. Berendt and the Milwaukee Mandolin Orchestra, sponsored by Dimension Design, Build, Remodel, Inc.

Texas teen suspended for tweeting photo of test
School officials called tweet "breach of security"
ARLINGTON, TEXAS - Kyron Birdine, a junior at Arlington High School, came home with a lesson he won't soon forget: Don't mess with the STAAR test.
"I was being a high school kid getting on Twitter," he explained.
Using an iPod, he tweeted a photo of the word YOLO ("you only live once") and a smiley face scribbled on the essay portion of the exam, along with this declaration:
"I have the TAKS test to study for, not this unneeded craziness."
He sent it to Arlington ISD and the Texas Education Agency.
The junior, who nearly has a 3.0 grade point average and a high score on the PSAT, will be graduating under TAKS testing standards, not STAAR.
"It wasn't for a grade," Kyron said. "Colleges don't see it. It didn't benefit my personal life at all."
His Twitter post didn't go unnoticed.
School officials pulled Kyron out of class and called his mother.
"Basically said something about it being a 'breach of security' and that with the breach of security they have to have some sort of punishment," he said.
That punishment is four-day on-campus suspension for his tweet, which he was also forced to delete.
Kyron's mom, Kiana Daw, said the tweet didn't reveal any questions or answers.
"I think it's excessive punishment," she said. "That's the type of punishment you should get for something really severe."
In a written statement, Arlington ISD told News 8 it followed established disciplinary procedures:
"Today there was an incident with a student tweeting a picture of an answer booklet for a STAAR field test. We have made an initial report of the incident to TEA and will continue to investigate further. The student has been punished in accordance with district disciplinary procedures."
When asked if he regrets sending the tweet, Kyron said he's sticking to his message about the STAAR test. Next time, however, he won't share it on Twitter and with a picture.
His message to other students was a simple one: "Don't do it."

Town Square
First Debate Drinking Game
Original post made by Tom Cushing, Danville, on Oct 3, 2012
1 – choose your libation and have it available in significant quantity. If you are not at-home, please designate a driver.
2 – listen carefully, and follow directions for a sip, a gulp or a chug, depending on circumstances (please note that this distinction may become more difficult as the debate progresses, so preparation is key), and
3 – if you are not of the libating persuasion, then soberly keep a count of the occurrences of each term below, and share it in Comments. The rest of us will read it tomorrow.
Mr .Romney:
SIPS: jobs, work, faith, business, deficit, trillion, unemployment, wife, Ann, family, Massachusetts, ObamaCare, Simpson-Bowles, freedom, debt, children and grandchildren, loopholes, rate cut, (any Ivy League school), incentive, Middle Class, unions,
GULPS: sons, father, George, sit down, tax returns, bet, (personal stories), Bain, tell Texas, 88% democrat, professor, immigrant, safety net, self-deportation, liberal press or polls
CHUGS: Mormon, dog, Seamus, crate, $10,000, details, emergency room, 47%, Bush, swing states, job creators
Mr. Obama:
SIPS: off-shore, economic patriotism, Tea Party, House, Michelle, 20th, daughters, forward, experience, tough calls, auto industry, GM, Bain, bankers, bankrupt, health care, reached out, obstruction, details, Pentagon, explode, impossible, hard choices, millionaires, Middle Class, rescue, teachers or firefighters or police, improvement
GULPS: Muslim, (personal stories), (any Ivy League schools), Congressional Budget Office, billionaires, welfare, Nobel, Bo, McCain, Feingold, Latino, RomneyCare, Bush
CHUGS: community organizer, birth certificate, Kenya, race, swing states
Feel free to supplement this listing.
On a more serious note, as you observe the candidates, tune into their non-verbal cues. Will Obama show disdain? Will Romney seem over-anxious to impress? Will either candidate betray their true emotional state via fleeting "micro-expressions," odd gestures, or other body language? (Cf. generally the work of Paul Ekman of UCSF on the fascinating subject of lie detection – it's a lot more than "his lips were moving.") We absorb the words, but to an under-appreciated extent our eyesight is also attuned to the tone, looks, mannerisms and other body language cues.

Just to show you how much better Governor Romney did last night than President Obama, even all of the liberal media outlets admitted that Governor Romney clearly won the debate. I actually think this will be a turning point in this election. The voters yesterday got to see the two candidates actually intelligently debate the issues, instead of seeing false campaign rhethoric ads with false claims. When the voters got the chance to see the two alternatives last night, it was crystal clear that Mr. Romney is the best choice to lead our country forward.
The Democrats have been running one of the dirtiest, mean spirited, and false claim smear campaign against Mr.Romney, but yesterday the voters got to see the facts and evidence presented, without spin, and Mr.Romney hit a grand slam.
Mr. Romney, much like the Oakland A's, were wrongly written off by the media and the so-called experts, but I believe it will be President Romney who will be welcoming the World Champion Oakland A's to the white house next year!

Chris Christie's crystal ball worked pretty well. He said come "Thursday morning you'll find Obama's campaign turned on it's ear" "Romney will do extraordinarily well in the debate". ! !
Tis a very good Thursday !
We the people finally, got the see the REAL Romney, without the distortions of leftist media, killer Obama ads of lies, and pundits who've never met Romney attempting to spin with lies, what inside his head...
It was nice to have an ADULT 'debate', with time for intelligent discussion on subjects, instead of one minute sound-bite answers, to too many, often silly quesstions.
I've met Romney several times. The tragedy is that we had to suffer so long, when he should have won last time. We all would be so much better off today.
Today Obama is out continuing his college campaigning. Kids who had never had a job elected Obama.Pundits today said Obamas focus until election is college kids, age group 18-29, Latinos and blacks. Brainwashed kids convinced their parents to check their experienced brains at the door. This time, hopefully, adults will think like adults in the real world. So Obama is doubling down on kids, who have yet to pay taxes.

Well, we did see ONE of the real Romneys. The previous Romney said that he would cut income tax rates 20% across the board. In the debate, this Romney said that he would not cut taxes for the wealthy. I wonder what the next Romney will say?
a resident of Danville
on Oct 6, 2012 at 9:59 pm
My problem is that I don't know which Romney I will be voting for when I cast my ballot? He had been promising a 20% tax cut for the wealthy while campaigning prior to the debate. During the debate, he denied that tax cut promise. It makes me wonder what else he might change sides on? anti-choice to pro-choice (He was pro-choice in the past but has campaigned in this election as anti-choice. Maybe he will return to pro-choice. Who knows?) He may have won on technical points but I have no idea what he believes and will do any more.
a resident of Danville
on Oct 7, 2012 at 8:45 am
It's nothing new. As Ted Kennedy said of Romney's policy gyrations back in the 1990s: "I'm pro-choice -- he's Multiple-Choice."
Multiple-Choice Mitt. That about sums him up.
a resident of San Ramon
on Oct 7, 2012 at 2:28 pm
We'll all have to keep an eye on Obama if kids elect him again. He's never told us his plans, But we do know it could be over-the-top in all areas. Our only hint was his whisper to Putin, "just wait until the election's over, then I'll have more leeway and flexibility, when I won't have to worry about any more elections". Scary !
We might get "changes" never dreamed of.
America could have crap that we would suffer from...forever. Too late to go back....a whole new America ! Scary. We know that going in, so how could anybody possibly risk it all.

Obama lied many times in the debate, including accusing Romney of proposing a $5 trillion tax cut. Not true.
Here is the link from factcheck.org about the lies told in the debates.
Web Link
Romney hasn't flip flopped on taxes. His plan has always been to cut all individual tax rates by 20% and to pay for it by reducing tax preferences for things like mortgage interest deductions, charitable contributions, not paying tax on employer-provided health care, etc.
The problem is, Romney's numbers don't add up. It's impossible to obtain a 20% tax rate reduction without reducing revenue. Romney says his goal is to "not add to the deficit." Ok fine, Mr. Romney, but how about CUTTING the deficit? You're not going to get there by cutting Big Bird.
Obama's numbers are even worse. His proposals RAISE taxes by $1.3 trillion and would still add nearly $3 trillion to the budget deficit by 2022.

Spcwt - I'm glad YOU know which tax deductions Willard intends to eliminate, since he refuses to tell anyone else. Perhaps you have a private line of communications to him?
a resident of Danville
on Oct 9, 2012 at 7:20 am
Obama is just as vague. He's offered no detailed proposal on tax reform.
Romney said everything's on the table, mortgage interest deduction, caps on charitable deductions, state tax deduction, personal exemptions, exclusion of employer-provided the health care, etc. That's pretty bold.
I've been critical of Romney's math, but actually, someone pointed out yesterday that Romney's math does add up if he's willing to adjust the tax preferences for capital gains.
a resident of Danville
on Oct 9, 2012 at 9:32 am
By adjusting the tax preferences for capital gains, your someone means raising the capital gains tax, correct? Does anyone honestly believe Romney is going to raise the capital gains tax?

Reagan did.

Don't you guys ever do work?
1 -- In re "Reagan did," he was neither a plutocrat nor did he have to answer to the Billionaire Boys Club that brung him to the dance. Reagan also exploded the deficit, and stimulated the economy with a defense build-up.
2 -- also, sp, I measured out of concern for the same kind of internal bias you noted in your comment. It looked that way, and I wanted to confirm that it wasn't my misperception. (and BTW, the chair comment? I wrote it before I saw this week's NYer cover -- didn't want you worry unnecessarily, all over again ;-) ).
3 -- It mystifies me that Romney gets away with claiming he'd be The Great Mediator. In Massachusetts, all he had to deal with, in his one term, was some relatively pliant Dems -- here, he'd have them, too -- but his Much Bigger Problem would be with his own rabid TPers. They would expect their guy to do their bidding, and Only their bidding. At the first sign of conciliation, they'd plow him under like an Iowa cornfield.

This classic horror novel, which inspired the famous film by Alfred Hitchcock, has been thrilling people for 50 years. It introduced one of the most unexpectedly-twisted villains of all time in Norman Bates, the reserved motel manager with a mother complex, and has been called the "first psychoanalytic thriller."
©1959 Robert Bloch; (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"Icily terrifying!" (New York Times)
"A terribly chilling tale." (Bestsellers)
My taste differs from kid books to gory horror books.
Scary wise this is not as good as most horror books of today. That does not change the fact that it is a well written book. It was entertaining and kept my attention all the way through. There are some interesting well developed characters in this book.
I think all of us have times in our lives when we want to crawl in a nice warm hole and just hibernate. Norman Bates is scared of people and all he wants in life is to be warm, cozy and safe. I have a friend who is extremely active in society, an extrovert. He admitted to me once that occasionally, he draws the curtains, stays in his pajamas and does not leave the house for maybe a week. I think all of us, can see a little of ourselves in Norman Bates.
This book also hits one of my pet peeves. Some people always talk about the past like it was so much better then today. This book shows a little bit about what life was like in the 50's and early 60's. A male dominated society, where the best most women could do was marry a successful man. It was harder to get divorced in those days, and I believe there were a lot of unhappy marriages. I believe there were a lot of unhappy people in those days and that is not counting the blacks, Jews and other minorities. There also seemed a fascination in the early 60's with psychology. We went from, it was a secret if you saw a psychiatrist, to it was the In thing to do. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were the main stars and all there movies showed the sadness of society of the time.
One other thing, this is another one of those books where the main character has a weight problem, but in the movie is portrayed by a skinny actor.
I liked the narrator, the private eye spoke so slow you could hear the moss grow on his vocal chords, but all other characters were great.
"We're All Not Quite As Sane As We Pretend To Be"
What a book! This is a great example of a classic horror/thriller novel. "Psycho" will pull you in from the start even if you have already seen the movie and know what to expect. The story is detailed, holds your attention and is easy to follow. The narrator did a great job and really added to the suspense. I admit, I got chills during certain parts. Things just get crazier and crazier as you move along. This is definitely a fun and exciting listen.
"We all go a little crazy sometimes"
It's pretty hard to accept the Bates Motel as a great holiday destination after the impact of the film of Psycho. But even if you come to this after seeing the film this is a great listen. It's pulp horror but is surprisingly psychologically minded with well drawn characters, especially when you remember it was written in 1959. I always felt the main difference between the book and the film was in the casting of Anthony Perkins. Norman in the book is a lot less savoury. The narration is excellent and I really enjoyed this. It's also fun to listen to again when you know what's really going on. Highly recommended

"Has anyone not seen the film?"
Hitchcock was pretty loyal to the book, other than casting -- Norman is a different age and body type than Anthony Perkins, and Martin Balsam plays Arborgast considerably different than the book's character. It's so difficult to not "see" the film while listening to the book, but, fortunately, they pretty much follow the same path.
The performance is very good. The reader makes subtle changes in voice, just enough to let you know it's a different character.
"The story you love, but badly done"
Reading the book satisfied my curiosity about the film adaptation process, but here's the short version. Bloch came up with a very interesting sequence of plot points, which Hitchcock copied. All but a few of the key moments of the film are here. However, and this is really not a contradiction, Bloch had no idea how to tell a story. His pacing could not be worse. He breezes past large swaths of the plot, then labors forever on the characters' most tedious qualities (Lila's whining, Sam's stoicism, Norman's simpering about his mother.) I ended up disliking everyone by the end of it. A short five hour audiobook went by in slow motion. The gender stereotypes have dated badly, and the increased gore made the story ickier without being more interesting.
I am a little curious what other plots the writer of Psycho came up with, but not curious enough to sit through more of his writing. I'll read the Wikipedia synopsis.
He did give every character a distinctive voice, but that only confirmed how grating a lot of the personalities were. It's always hard for men to voice romantic female leads, but oh boy, he made Lila a pill.
Did you seriously just ask me, "Could you see Psycho being made into a movie or a TV series?" Yes. Both.
Read the print copy. That way you can skim the monologues and avoid having to actually listen to the dialogue.
I like a book that mixes horror and comedy - it's an awkward blend of suspense and release.
"15% more detail than the movie, maybe."
Reading a book based on a movie that's already in my top-ten thrillers of all time; it just seemed like a great idea at the time.
But here's the problems. The book didn't just inspire the movie, it was the movie. The only parts missing were probably left out to keep the movie under 2 hours; in that, they weren't that vital to the story, and they only added little bits of insight to the already fantastic story.
So, if you've seen the movie? If you've seen the movie a lot of times, and watched the sequels, and the Vince Vaughan remake? The book will probably shine very little light onto what you already know about the tale.
The narrator did a good job, good enough. Lila, (Lily?) sounded like the biggest whiner in the world, which I initially thought was just the way this narrator thought women talked, but, after reading a few reviews on Goodreads as well, nope, it's not him, it's totally that the character is a whiny lady.
Also - if you're in search of as many cliches as possible, specifically in characters, dialog, and tropes, this is the book for you. (Of course, it's entirely possible that the book, written in 1960, quite possibly set the standard for a lot of those things.)
So - long story short, if you loved the movie so much that you became almost obsessive over it, this book will shed very little light on anything... and actually drags in some areas, even though it's a relatively short novel.
Last thing - the ending, or last chapter, or epilogue - wow it just goes on and on forever, like Bloch got tired of writing the story and just put together some bullet points to wrap the story up. I didn't make it all the way to the end.
I'm open to any book as long as it is true to itself.
"Norman Bates was the best thing in this book"
This book was disappointing in all areas apart from any parts with Norman Bates. Bloch did a great job of portraying the character of Bates and any parts with him present completely held my attention. Unfortunately the other characters were very lack lustre. The famous shower scene was much more effective and chilling in the film.
I like Jack Reacher style characters regardless of setting. Put them in outer space, in modern America, in a military setting, on an alien planet... no worries. Book has non moralistic vigilante-justice? Sign me up! (oh, I read urban fantasy, soft and hard sci-fi, trashy vampire and zombie novels too)
"Finally got to read this classic"
I can't believe it took so long for me to read this "classic" book. It's better than I expected, and perhaps a bit less dramatic than the movie (hard to be gory in this era I suppose).
It does not have any "surprises" but, that's probably due to the storyline being part of our modern culture... there's not much odd about transvestites or murderers or schitzos in our current day and age but, for its time, these concepts were probably extra-shocking.
I disliked the "epilogue" - way too lecturey, like the author needed to explain all the threads from the story rather than let us figure it out on our own - like we didn't realize Bates wasn't *really* his mother. Well, until the final moments anyway... hehehe
The narrator was very good.
"Not as scary as the movie but equally as good"
The final scene where mother completely takes over.
Definitely the mother character!
No one? The characters are fascinating and enjoyable to read but I don't think I'd like any of them in person!
I like horror fiction , crime, mystery some chic lit. I like audiobooks but the narrator has to be right. great you get to sample first
"not a crazy buy !"
probably about the best audiobook I,ve bought. I listened to it constantly till it was finished.
easy to listen to and narrator had exciting and professional voice
haven,t heard any of his other books but will buy books narrated by him again
"Was shaking in my boots !!! Well, a tremble !"
Every bit as good as the Movie, suspense and excellently narrated, nearly listened to the full story in one go, a must 😄

Area students attend High Technology Day
Students attend UTSA's High Technology Day
By Rita Cortez
UTSA Trio Executive Director for Outreach
(July 10, 2007)--The Hispanic Association of Communications Employees of AT&T (HACEMOS) and the AT&T Foundation recently reached out to more than 2,000 students nationwide at High Technology Day conferences. The UTSA conference was hosted by UTSA's federally funded Trio program.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The objective of the event is to inform students about career opportunities in engineering, math and science through workshops and presentations on the latest technological advancements. At UTSA last semester, more than 150 students attended the conference including members of the UTSA chapter of the Society of Mexican American Scientists and Engineers (MAES) and students from South San High School and Edgewood Academy.
Speakers included Norbert Rivera, AT&T vice president for operations strategies and U-Verse, and Gerard Edwards, AT&T associate director for dish operations, who discussed broadband services.
UTSA speakers addressed students in workshops on information technology, high-speed data, video services, communications, math, science, engineering and business.
The event included scholarship presentations of $1,000 to five college-bound students. The scholarships were provided by funds raised by the local chapter of the HACEMOS Scholarship Foundation.
Trio is part of a federal program for educational outreach designed to motivate and support students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Trio includes six outreach and support programs targeted to serve and assist economically challenged, first-generation college students and students with disabilities in progressing from middle school to post-baccalaureate programs.
MAES was founded in 1974 to increase the number of Mexican Americans and other Hispanics in the technical and scientific fields. With the financial support of members, companies and government agencies, the organization motivates and mentors students and professionals and helps students to secure financial aid and employment opportunities.

While my kids were here for the summer I got a wild hair and decided to try my hand at making my sons posterboard Fett helmets. While searching for a formula for making the dome I found this site, and my life's been in shambles ever since!
When we went to the MoM show up in Huntsville my oldest wanted one of the Jango costumes that had at the gift shop. I got it for him but he was disappointed in it to say the least. I set out to build him a decent helmet and am now neck deep in two full costumes!
I took a guess at what size helmet I'd need and went to work on a Jango helmet. My intent was to use posterboard and impregnate it with resin. I ended up using glass sheet as well. In the end I added styrene for the outer layer and it worked out well. However, I won't go the resin impregnated route again after seeing how easily knee armor and cod pieces done the same way came apart.
When I got to the cheeks I got worried the helmet may be too small. My son's several states away, so no way to try it on. About that time my youngest announced he wanted to go as Boba, so the Jango helmet became a Boba.
Attachment 46208
Again, not being sure what size to make the helmet I had to guess. Hearing some adults find the WOF helmet templates a bit small I figured it best and easiest, due to computer/printer issues, to use them full sized. Plus it'd give him room to grow into it.
The second helmet I made strictly out of sheet styrene and fiberglass. The templates used to form the dome and bucket were cardboard, so there's a strip here and there deep under the fiberglass.
Attachment 46209
Anyway, this is my progress so far. By an odd twist of events I'll get to see the boys briefly this week, giving me a chance to see if the helmets and single gauntlet I've built so far will fit.

Everything is great The situation is very good, metro 2 min walk, shops, solarium and gym nearby. The apartment is quiet because the windows do not face the main street that is high traffic
The neighbors are quiet, the wifi signal is great. The kitchen has all the necessary utensils, coffee, tea, washing machine etc. The bathroom is very spacious and very clean floor.
Highly recommended for travelers. Many thanks to Emilie for their hospitality.
Todo es estupendo La situación es muy buena ,metro a 2 min andando , tiendas, solárium y gimnasio cerca . El piso es tranquilo porque las ventanas no dan a calle principal que es de mucho tránsito
Los vecinos son tranquilos, la señal wifi es estupenda. La cocina tiene todo el menaje necesario , cafetería , tetera ,lavadora etc. El baño es muy amplio y el piso muy limpio.
Muy aconsejable para otros viajeros . Muchísimas gracias a Emilie por su hospitalidad.
Wimdu first successful experience! The studio is consistent with the description. Excellent location: Metro, restaurants, downtown. The accommodation was very clean and pleasant with a wifi without problems (which was not the case of colleagues who were in hotels). Very good bedding. Only flat, a damp smell when entering the studio; probably due to the fact that it overlooks a sunny courtyard not. Perhaps unique to cool, rainy days during my stay? Emilie is very friendly and reliable.
1ère expérience Wimdu réussie! Le studio est conforme à la description. Très bien situé : métro, resto, centre ville. Le logement était très propre et agréable avec une connexion wifi sans problème (ce qui n'était pas le cas de collègues qui étaient dans des hotels). Très bonne literie. Seul bémol , une odeur d'humidité quand on entre dans le studio; sans doute due au fait qu'il donne sur une cour non ensoleillée. Peut-être propre aux journées fraîches et pluvieuses lors de mon séjour? Emilie est très accueillante et fiable.
Very good experience. The property is well maintained and very nice. Its proximity to the subway is appreciable.
But this experience will remain outstanding as this year.
Très bonne expérience. Le logement est bien entretenu et très agréable. Sa proximité avec le métro est appréciable.
Cependant cette expérience restera à titre exceptionnelle pour cette année.

An acute pesticide poisoning refers to a harmful exposure to a pesticide. These exposures may be due to inhalation, spills, or ingestion of a pesticide.
The Pesticide Exposure Safety & Tracking (PEST) program tracks acute pesticide poisoning incidents in Oregon, because suspected or known cases of human pesticide poisoning are a reportable condition in the state (OAR 333-017-0000 through 333-018-0015 and OAR 333-019-0000).
The PEST program also investigates human pesticide poisonings since it is a member agency of the Pesticide Analytical Response Center (PARC). PARC is a coordinating body charged with collecting and analyzing information on reported pesticide incidents in Oregon. PARC is composed of eight state agencies that have some jurisdiction over pesticides and is co-chaired by the Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Health Authority, Public Health Division.

Re: [POLL Feedback Thread] Lock-a-doodle
The price is way to high imo.
It should be mentioned that friends must purchase the game as well to be able to play before anyone buys it.
29.99 for the bundle is just ..wow.

Re: [POLL Feedback Thread] Lock-a-doodle[ Edited ]
Not going to bother posting a detailed response in here when I've already devoted a topic to one of the most dismal abominations in Home's history. By comparison, this makes NML and Home Tycoon seem like Game of the Year material, and their VIP bundles seem like absolute bargains.
The main problem with this is not only can friends not play without purchasing their own, but there is absolutely no wording or any other notices indicating friends need their own prior to purchase. So it essentially relies on deceiving people into purchasing it, as the wording "Choose a word and doodle it for a friend to guess, or accept their challenge to guess something they've doodled." and "Create Doodles for your friends to guess" implies friends CAN play without a separate purchase.
Beyond very disatisfied. Not sure there's accurate/appropriate words I can use to describe how I feel about it besides that. It's the only time in 2 years I not only want a refund for something I purchased in Home, but I feel entitled to it due to the price and deceptive product description.
Also the rewards are horrible, and the game doesn't evenn function properly. Who wants to keep entering and re-entering the same space just to continue a game? (Problems exists with apt, club, and active item)
I am never supporting this developer or purchasing from them again. Obviously I understand devs needing to make money and normally don't mind rewards being owner only, but deceptive wording and crippling the "social" features of what's being touted as a "social game" is where I draw the line, especially at these absurd prices.
Re: [POLL Feedback Thread] Lock-a-doodle[ Edited ]
- Prices are too high.
- Friend's can't play unless they own it as well (and there was no mention of this limitation in the item descriptions)
- The active items use way too many slots, especially considering how few slots can be used in a space as it is.
Sony's PlayStation Home updated mission statement...
"Like it never happened"
- Stand for something better than mediocrity and don't disguise it as adequate, when clearly it is far from that to anyone willing to be objective and unbiased. -
Re: [POLL Feedback Thread] Lock-a-doodle
This space is nice in terms of the scenary and theme, but other than that I have to admit I am a bit disappointed.
I'm very upset that in order to play with a friend they also need to have the active item or space.
I was expecting this space to be quite interactive and fun in terms of playing with friends, but that expectation is sort of crushed now.
I also find the game play itself a bit lacking, there are'nt many features for drawing and you are very limited to what you can draw due to an ink limit wich basicly only allows you to draw to a point and then once out of ink, you can't do anything more with that picture.
Playing the game with other players is also difficult, because you have to draw pictures in order to start, but it never indicates you if no one has responded or once the other player is finished playing. So you basicly sit there wondering if you're ever going to get a response, and if not, you have to start a new picture all over again and wait again.
Re: [POLL Feedback Thread] Lock-a-doodle
as i said before , this isn't my sort of thing but after watching the video i was actually gonna give it a try . i was just about to login home to get the $29 bundle til i read tarazuma thread. it was so profound that as i read the thread i felt her pain. yes we understand that its a item for purchase however the lady in the vid explains EVERYTHING except that its owner only. its stuff like this that heavily diminishes lockwoods credibility . kudos on the gothic victorian stuff ( minus that NON victorian skirt ) though.

Jamies Brownie Recipe
This is my first post and I am of course hoping for some guidance.
I made the brownies recipe currently on Jamie's site.
I was very excited to see them and then find the time to make them.
Several things confused me. Firstly the amount of flour and sugar and then those in comparison to the butter.
I proceeded with caution as I have failed a few times with baking and also have found Jamies measurements in the past to be in correct (I'm sorry, can I say that!!??)
I added a little extra flour and half the sugar and they were a little dry.
Has someone made these and able to give me some pointers?

Amid the ongoing Israeli−Palestinian conflict in the Middle East, a new student group, the Tufts chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), hopes to foster discussion and expose students to the Palestinian perspective.
SJP is a nation−wide association of campus chapters that first launched at University of California, Berkeley, to advocate for the Palestinian cause. Tufts SJP President Jack Irmas founded the group upon his return from studying abroad at Tel Aviv University in Israel last year after finding no campus group existed to address the Palestinian narrative. "I want to bring in a perspective that Tufts generally doesn't see and really educate people about what they don't know," Irmas, a senior, said.
Senior Sean Smith, who studied last year at the American University of Beirut in Lebanon, said he hopes the group will help open up a more balanced discussion on campus. "We're essentially hoping to expose the Tufts students and community to a more balanced perspective that acknowledges both sides as fundamentally human and fundamentally deserving of human rights," Smith said.
While the group's registration remains pending, it has begun to attract interest from the student body, Irmas said. The first general interest meeting attracted approximately 20 students from diverse backgrounds, according to Irmas. Earlier this month, the group hosted a screening of the documentary "Occupation 101" (2006), a film depicting life in the Palestinian territories for an American audience, according to Smith. In the group discussion that followed, he noted that an Israeli student felt comfortable enough to participate. "That's the kind of dialogue we hope to see in the future," Smith said.
Smith hopes to organize in December another film screening on the topic of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. The group also plans to bring educational speakers and lecturers to campus later this semester. The group has yet to select a faculty sponsor and has found it challenging to identify professors who would be willing to argue on behalf of the Palestinian point of view, according to Smith. "It can be unhelpful in American academia to be outspoken toward Palestine," he said. "We're still trying to figure out who would feel comfortable." Still, according to Irmas, a few professors have approached the group expressing interest.
The Anti−Defamation League, the organization whose aim, according to its website, is "to stop the defamation of the Jewish people ... to secure justice and fair treatment to all," recently placed the national SJP organization on its list of the top 10 anti−Israel groups in the United States. "I thank them for putting our name out there," Irmas said. "I thank them for the publicity they give us for putting us on a list that is so obviously biased. It doesn't worry me."
Irmas hopes to work with other campus groups to educate students about the Middle East conflict and emphasized that students can be sympathetic to both the Israeli and the Palestinian causes. "It's funny because I'm not anti−Israel; being pro−Israel and pro−Palestinian are not mutually exclusive," Irmas said.
The group plans to reach out to Tufts Friends of Israel, according to Irmas. He believes the groups can work together to bring attention to the issues in the Middle East. "They've come to us with an interest in speaking to us, and we're definitely interested in that," he said. Tufts Friends of Israel President Daniel Bleiberg said that his group is interested in fostering and engaging in dialogue with SJP. "We have spoken to them, and by all means we are going to continue,"
Bleiberg, a sophomore, said. "I do hope we can come to understandings on each other's narratives." Bleiberg hopes the groups can engage in meaningful dialogue rather than heated debate. He noted that Tufts provides an environment that is conducive to these types of discussions.
"What people respect around the country about Tufts is that students can bring out dialogues, and that's what we're looking for," Bleiberg said. "Both groups have an interest in the region, and that is a commonality that we can definitely exploit to co−sponsor events together and educate people about Israel and Palestine and what is actually going on on the ground there," Irmas said.

Displaced by threats, old life gives way to new
For seven years I lived in Panajachel, a tourist town on the beautiful Atitlán Lake in Guatemala. There, my husband, Juan Miguel Arrivillaga, and I started a family and the independent news outlet Anti Magazine. We also hosted a radio program on the local station Radio Ati.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 31
I'd love to get some Russian zines, I could possibly even read parts of them!
I've got a pretty rad minicomic I bought in Indonesia. I can pretty much only understand the english loan words.
I picked up some zines in Southeast Asia, some in English and some in Bahasa. I didn't see any perzines there, which I was kind of bummed about. I mean, it's cool reading about their local punk scenes, but I'd like to know more about day to day life for a punk.
I'd really like to get zines from anywhere in Africa. I know for a lot of the continent zines might not be feasible, definitely not a priority, but there's got to be some political underground press. And South Africa has to have something, right?
"I've got a few french zines I traded with Adrien on here. I can read zines in French no problem, but my french writing is atrocious, like some small french child who can't spell, so my letter back was probably pretty painful."
Ahah! Didn't I tell you that tour letter was one of the best I'd ever received? Ok, I don't receive many but still... And I really liked the fact that you tried writing in French even if you don't know the language perfectly. Thank you for that. Plus the Beatles envelope was amazing! No need to talk about the zines.
Most of the zines I read are from the USA, but I've had some from UK, Australia, Canada, and I'll have some from a Spanish living in Germany. Not so much from France though, as weird as it may sound... :/

Reviews for this host's other properties
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We (3 girl friends) spent a very pleasant weekend in the appartment. The terrace is spacious, the appartment in a very good condition. Everything was clean, incl. towels and bed covers.
The host couldn't meet us but his helpful and very friendly cousin. He let us in earlier so that we could leave the luggage- a big help!
The location is good, the bus from the airport stops close by and if you want to take a bus to the center it is quick and easy.
We would come back any time and recommend the appartment.
The apartment was clean and in a great location. It was close to the airport, and just a short walk to the train station, the tram, and excellent shopping and dining. We arrived late to the airport (around 2130) so transportation to the apartment was a challenge. Salvatore suggested 2 busses, both of which didn't run after 2100. He also said that if we took a cab, we should contact his friend. Unfortunately, the friend didn't respond to our call. When we arrived at the apartment, the gentleman who greeted us with the key, Stefan, was very pleasant and helpful. Water pressure was great in the shower and we never ran out of hot water. Unfortunately, there were two aspects of the apartment stay that were not great. One was that we had a problem with the clothes washer. The problem was of our making. It was necessary for me to contact Salvatore a few times before the problem was addressed. The other problem which was very concerning is that the apartment had roaches. We would also note that the loft bedroom had a very low ceiling that we could not stand upright in. Not a huge problem but noteworthy. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but wouldn't stay in this apartment again because of the roaches.
The apartment is very good located, infront of the main entrance is a tramstation. You are on a main street filled with bakery, boutiques and stores, but you dont hear anything when you're inside the flat. we had at the start problem with the door, but salvatore took care right away, so when we came back from exploring nice, the door was working. I really can recommend the apartment!
we had a wonderful time at the cote d'azur :)
The apartment is perfect to see the old city of Nice. It was clean and we had everything we needed. The contact was very friendly. We would always hire again. For very noise-sensitive people we would recommend earplugs at night.
Die Wohnung liegt perfekt um die Altstadt von Nizza anzusehen. Sie war sauber und wir hatten alles was wir brauchten. Der Kontakt war sehr freundlich. Wir würden sie jederzeit wieder mieten. Für sehr lärmempfindliche Leute würden wir nachts Ohrstöpsel empfehlen.
Perfect location! Very trandnah, about 15 minutes walk to the train station (you can also tram ride). The best bakery in the world is diagonally opposite)
There are towels and bed linen, but no tea towel and only one roll of toilet paper. Super cute apartment, very nicely decorated, at night for some VLT too loud for us two girls but it was not a problem!
We fell in Nice, plus the apartment has contributed definitely - a really great holiday!
Perfekte Lage! Sehr trandnah, ca 15 min zu fuß zum Bahnhof (man kann auch Tram fahren). Die beste Bäckerei der Welt ist schräg gegenüber;)
Es gibt Handtücher und Bettwäsche, jedoch kein Geschirrhandtuch und nur eine Rolle Klopapier. Super süße Wohnung, sehr hübsch eingerichtet, nachts für einige vlt zu laut, für uns zwei Mädels war es jedoch gar kein Problem!
Wir haben uns in Nizza verliebt, dazu hat das Apartment definitv beigetragen - ein richtig toller Urlaub!
Have a good stay. Host pleasant, professional and accommodating. The apartment is true to pictures. It is clean, well located, well appointed and equipped. Salvatore thank you.
Bon séjour. Hôte agréable, professionnel et arrangeant. L'appartement est fidèle aux photos. Il est propre, bien situé, bien aménagé et équipé. Merci Salvatore.
Apartment complety new, very nice, warm and comfortable, bigger than pictures.Excellent location, 1 minute to old Nice, tram stops in front of the door. Salvatore helps a lot answering very quickly and keeping the luggage last day. In the same street, avenue de la Republique, you can find bakery, supermarket,..Garibaldi place is closed the apparment. The only thing it can be improved is the light in the dinner room that the room needs a stronger light during the night.
Central studio, complete with all the comforts, small but very nice
Monolocale centrale, completo di tutti i confort, piccolo ma molto carino

I have in hand a new 5.56 barrel from k-var and it is set up to use a 90deg. gas block. I have a AKM gas block and would like to use it. the rub comes in with the location of the gas hole on the barrel. if you look at the photos the hole ines up with the cross pin location witch is too far back. I could eather plug the barrel hole and use the gas block as a guide to drill a new hole, or do the reverse of what hcpookie did with his barrel/ GB. plug the "tube" of the GB and drill a new hole in the GB at 90 deg. and line up on the barrel this would require some fitting of the piston tube and a shorter piston ( not more than 1/16") to get the corect timing of the piston to GB. tell me hwat would you do and how.
thanks muttman
I agree with 1biggun about not plugging the barrel. You might try to find another barrel that will work with the gas block or even one undrilled and drill it your self.
1big gun,
k-var (bulgy) barrel, bolt head and FCG; (rommy) bolt carer, trunnion's, mags; (chicom) safty; (russian) sight block{ I think}; the piston will be by me and the stock parts from tapco and akpartskit.com. I will get a flash hider from DPH or by me. aka mutt gun. btw, nice group in the photo........
new barrel is not fe$$able at this time nor is a new $55 GB from k-var. I think I will try the GB tube plug and shourt piston this will take longer but work better in the long run.
thanks to all. muttman
Last edited by muttman; 05-26-2008 at 11:52 PM. Reason: verbage
Been there, done that. There are exactly 2 ways to go about it, and I've done both:
1. Tap the hole with threads, screw in plug, file flush
2. Spot weld the barrel
Spot welding the barrel actually isn't so bad, so long as you don't apply too much heat. I did this to a cheap beater of a Galil barrel, and it groups well at 100 yards. I think the barrel hole is so small it doesn't take that much heat to plug it. To be honest, I don't really know if I actually kinked the barrel like I reported in that one thread. I'm starting to doubt my memory of the pre-weld condition. It groups well at the range, so I really don't care at this point. As someone pointed out, I think if it is kinked, it is "set" in the kink and won't "wobble" around.
The tapping is probably better, so long as you can find a small enough tap. The barrels are only surface hardened, and once you get past the hardening it is easy to drill. Therefore you may want to open up the hole and go that route. If you do, don't use a threaded rod - you need something with a head that will keep the threaded "plug" from creeping down into the barrel over time. My 45-degree plug is stuck in place because it can only be physically rotated if the gas block is removed, since the one side is higher in the hole to make it flush with the outside of the barrel. A 90-degree plug would have the freedom to wiggle down into the bore over time, even with loctite. Therefore you need something that looks like a countersink screw head to ensure it will stay in place.
Now there is something I want to point out.
The 45-degree gas block was replaced with the 90-degree gas block because the 45-degree hole, being a big oval in the barrel, acts like a cheese grater and will shave off the jacket. In fact, the very barrel I was talking about has a nice little copper buildup around the gas port hole after the gas block was removed - it actually did it enough that it formed copper residue OUTSIDE the hole. I presume gases were pushing the copper out the gas port until the pressure dropped, causing the buildup.
The point is, that you may want to reconsider using a 45-degree gas port unless this will be a pistol build, where the jacket (and accuracy) isn't so critical.
Food for thought!

The "original" Boltcutter Rivet Squeezers:
Project Pink - the Pink and Blue AK-74:
Tig it up and redrill. Mig will work also. I have done it both ways. When you are thru welding, do not quench just let it air cool.
I taped the g/b and instaled a 10-32 set screw in the block. I will re drill the gas tube in the gas block at 90 deg. this alowes me to reuse the gas block ( with a 90, 45 deg. gas tube) and use the same gas hole in the barrel with small mod's to the piston and the piston tube. this should work and retain the look that I would like. when I get the new hole drilled in the gas lock Ill post more photos. muttman

Video: Oregon says no to chemotherapy, offers assisted suicide instead
posted at 8:50 am on August 3, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
We knew it would come to this when Oregon insisted on passing its assisted-suicide laws. It doesn't take much for assisted suicide to go from a humane option to a cost-saving device, especially when the state pays for the medical care. One patient in Oregon got a letter that made this all too clear, when in the same letter rejecting her request for life-extending chemotherapy, Oregon offered her "physician-aid-in-dying". In other words, Oregon offered their customer a heapin' helping of death:
The doctor interviewed by the news station seems offended at the suggestion that Oregon would decide to save a few bucks by denying expensive health care and offering a case of hemlock in its place. However, saving money was the raison d'etre of single-payer systems, and the incentives all drive towards that decision. Single-payer systems have to handle medical services as a shortage market, rationing them by using "comparative effectiveness" paradigms to determine who gets medical attention, and who gets "physician-aid-in-dying" instead of it.
The woman who drew the short end of the stick in this case wonders who these people think they are. They think they know better than us who needs to live and die. Has that lesson still not been made clear?
Update: I got this link yesterday and the KATU page is undated, but this story is from 2008, which I didn't realize until I got an e-mail about it. I wrote about this last June, and I simply didn't recall it.

- Conflict of interest: Reviews are most valuable when they are honest and unbiased. If you own or work at a place, please don't review your own business or employer.
