Brown more impactful than Eli? Cruz? Wilson? JPP? What?
Brown more impactful than Eli? Cruz? Wilson? JPP? What?
Fiction: David Wilson will break Tiki Barber's record for the longest Giants run play which is currently 95 yards TD against the Raiders. Called it.
Here's what I hope: If Wilson can get just a tiny bit better in pass protection, we can start using him in play action. Defenses would have no choice but to respect that given what Wilson can do. That should open up the deep pass tremendously.
Another thing I hope: We need to shore up the OL tremendously in the draft. A better OL means you can use your RB on routes instead of just forcing him to block. Wilson + space = yards.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
It's all fiction. Manti Te'O created David Wilson...he never existed. Dammit! Wrong thread.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
Bradsahw will not stay healthy. Even in a backup or 3rd down role he will suffere with his feet. His injuries are chronic and not "healable" so to speak.
He wont like being the 3rd down only back. I really dont know what will transpire next season. See who comes through reseason without any physical setbacks...

Classmate: Are you Spanish?
My 9 year old: No… Spanish people are from Spain.
Classmate: ….Oh. My parents thought you might be Spanish.
My 9 year old: I'm not.
Classmate: Okay.
Attention Gringos! The word you are looking for is "Latino." Even "Hispanic" is acceptable to most. You could also say "Of Latin American descent" or "Of Spanish-speaking descent."
Spanish is:
• a language
• a nationality (for people from Spain)
While I'm here I may as well let you know that "Mexican" is also completely unacceptable unless the person is indeed from Mexico.
Lastly, if I hear one more gringa tell me her boyfriend is "Salvadorian," I might hurt somebody. It is "SALVADORAN" … You don't call yourself an Americanian, right?

The release of February's milk production data brings NASS reporting to a close for the fiscal year.
by Amanda Smith, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
With USDA's NASS (National Agricultural Statistics Service) division sequestration-imposed budget cuts (www.hoards.com/blog_NASS-milk-production-report-axed) now in effect, February milk production will be the last Milk Production report released for the time being. This report was among the 10 statistical surveys and reports suspended for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 (through September 30).
In the 23 major states, February milk production totaled 14.6 billion pounds, down 3.4 percent from February 2012. However, if we compare apples to apples and adjust for 2012's leap year, production rose 0.1 percent. Regardless, February often sees a slight dip in milk production levels compared to other months since it has fewer days.
U.S. milk production in February totaled 15.74 billion pounds, unchanged versus a year ago when leap year adjusted. On an average daily basis, production was 1.9 percent higher than January 2013. Looking at USDA reported values though, January production in the U.S. was 17.1 billion pounds a 1.4 billion pound reduction in output was seen in February since cows had three fewer days to produce milk.
And this is as far as NASS's milk production graph will take us for the majority of the year.
January production was revised to 15.9 billion pounds, reflecting a 6 million pound gain over previous estimates. Production in January was up 0.6 percent from January 2012 levels, but the adjustment from last month's preliminary estimate only reflected a rise of 0.1 percent.
Total U.S. cow numbers were reported at 9.23 million; 32,000 head below the same period in 2012. The number of cows on farm in the 23 major states was 8.5 million head, 13,000 less than February 2012, but a gain of 2,000 cows from January 2013.
There was a 3.2 percent decline in milk per cow nationwide when compared to the prior year. Compared to February 2012 when cows produced 1,762 pounds of milk, 2013 production shrunk 56 pounds to 1,706 pounds. Production per cow in the 23 major states, averaging 1,722, also dropped 58 pounds below February 2012 levels.
Of the 23 major states, only four saw milk production rise when compared to 2012. These included Kansas, up 3.7; Colorado, 1.6; Michigan, 0.6; and Wisconsin, 0.3. All other states saw declines ranging from slight to severe. Year over year, California was hardest hit, down 8 percent. Other states that declined by 5 percent or more from February 2012 included Arizona, 6.8; Utah, 6.5; Virginia, 5.5; and Texas, 5.4 percent.

An actor's ego is expansive and frail. The Burbage Theatre Company is staging an unadorned but smartly performed production of Orson's Shadow, by Austin Pendleton, (through June 7), directed by Jeff Church. On display is a sort of gladiatorial combat, employing arched eyebrows and withering putdowns instead of mace and sword.
The combatants are Orson Welles (Alex Duckworth), once an enormously celebrated director-genius but now only enormous, a far cry from the handsome young man married to film goddess Rita Hayworth; and Sir Laurence Olivier (Church), whose acting prowess is legendary but whose love life badly needs a script doctor.
The playwright deliciously imagines what conversations could have gone on when they worked together in 1960. The occasion is Welles directing Sir Larry in a production of Eugene Ionesco's absurdist classic Rhinoceros (one by one, townsfolk turn into rhinoceroses: fascism metaphor). Also in the play is co-star Joan Plowright (Allison Crews), whom Olivier would eventually marry, and English theater critic Kenneth Tynan (Nathaniel Lee), who had written of Plowright's "agonized inadequacy." Three years later Tynan would be appointed literary manager for the new Royal Court Theatre, but at this point he was just sucking up to Olivier for such a position (nervously stammering before him), a striking conflict of interest that goes unremarked upon in the play.
While Welles's first film, the 1941 masterpiece Citizen Kane, had launched him as a 26-year-old Wunderkind, that triumph subsequently and increasingly served as an invidious comparison. ("Am I to be remembered for one movie, which I directed from my highchair?") As we meet him here, he is 45 and has never again come close to such an accomplishment. Welles is bitter. The studio withdrew his right to make the final cut for his subsequent films, he grumbles. Olivier "destroyed me in Hollywood in 1948," he charges.
Olivier disputes that accusation, and there is plenty more for them to dispute: Acting on stage compared to on film (Olivier had recently given a well-received performance as a vaudevillian in John Osborne's film The Entertainer). Whether old-school classical acting is up to the demands of modern plays, such as Ionesco's. Welles has been directing Plowright in a modern style, while Olivier thinks she should come across more like Vivien Leigh.
The 53-year-old Olivier has an additional performance challenge with his marriage — another stage — to actress Leigh (Valerie Westgate). At 47 she is well past the height of her career, which peaked in the role of Gone With the Wind's Scarlett O'Hara. Leigh is more than volatile, she's downright "crazy," as she cavalierly declares more than once, manic-depressive.
As director, Church keeps the action moving briskly along while giving enough time here and there for the characters to blossom in our imaginations. He is concerned that we empathize with them: in a hyper-naturalistic touch, on two occasions he has Duckworth set knife and fork to a real steak, despite the disadvantage of having to then chew and deliver lines at the same time.

I had never heard of this idea before today. I was reading a report from the US Dept. of Agriculture about the health/poison effects of different types of sugars on bees. In the middle was this statement:
"Bailey also found that 8-year-old honey had dysenteric effects much like poisonous sugars: an absorption peak matching hydroxymethyl furfural correlated with toxicity of old honey and of acid-hydrolyzed syrups."
Has anyone else heard of this before?

Games I Own: Deus Ex 2
Posted on 21st Oct 2009 at 12:46 by Joe Martin with 9 comments
Yes, Invisible War had issues. It obviously suffered from attempts to bring the series to consoles. The tiny, insular and empty levels. The universal ammo system. The constant load times and clunky, overly rounded feel of the engine – these were all issues that dogged the game and deservedly so, but slamming Deus Ex 2 for not living up to the legend of it's predecessor is easier than fist-fighting with a one-armed toddler.
Instead, I prefer to think of the good things about Deus Ex 2 – the things it did better than the original. Believe me, they're there.

After years of typing, it came out of nowhere: an aching, stabbing, tingling pain in my arms and hands. My primary complaint was a throbbing ache followed by pinpricks of fiery pain on my fingers, like someone putting out cigarettes on my skin. I couldn't work with my hands in any capacity, and I couldn't sleep. Nothing seemed to work to alleviate the pain. Not ibuprofen, not acetaminophen, not painkillers. I had carpal tunnel.
My first doctor gave me "the look" when I told him I was a writer by trade, as if that was the root of all my troubles; since giving up writing wasn't really an option, I underwent surgery, therapy, and ergonomic mindfulness. Once I started typing again at full force, though, it all started coming back. As it stands, I've got the odds stacked against me: I'm a woman, a writer, a guitarist, and I have a genetic predisposition to carpal tunnel, tendonitis, and arthritis. A perfect storm for pain.
It was a second doctor who suggested vitamin B6, which, I'm happy to report, makes daily life tolerable. They're not exactly sure why B6 works in some carpal tunnel patients, but it's made a huge difference for me. I'm extremely grateful on that count.
However, there are still some things I can no longer do (playing guitar, folding laundry, using a regular keyboard, reading heavy books, picking up my son, prolonged vegetable chopping). I get by, though not without some major readjusting. I've had to restructure my writing process, the way I play music, and even how I interact with my kids. I can't tell you how heartbreaking it is to walk into a guitar store these days. After playing for eighteen years, I've had to give it up entirely or else spend three days in pain after jamming. It's just not worth it.
I'm not alone in this, either. I've got quite a few family members and friends dealing with similar issues. In fact, as much as 5-10% of the world population suffers from RSI (repetitive strain injuries) or carpal tunnel and related musculoskeletal injuries, and that number is far higher for computer users (with various studies showing up to 30%). So it's no surprise that companies are now turning a very serious eye toward prevention considering all the work-related injuries it's caused (RSI-related injuries make up as much as 60% of occupational injuries). If you don't suffer now, don't hold your breath. Your risk factors go way up as you age.
Clearly it's a growing problem, especially among computer-centric geeks. But I can't help but wonder: Did it have to be this way? Are we such slaves to our tech that we have to stand by and injure ourselves?

Christchurch will have a waterfront park development stretching for 3km along the Avon River as one the first key projects in the central city rebuild, announced today.
A multi-company consortium led by Opus was named today as the successful tenderer to develop concept plans for a 50-metre wide precinct from Christchurch Hospital at Oxford Tce, following the river to Fitzgerald Ave.
The recovery blueprint, announced in July, identified the Avon River Precinct and North and East Frames as priorities to promote recreation, business growth and central city living.
Preliminary planning will begin in the new year, with Opus and its consortium partners BDP, Arup, EOS Ecology and Royal Associates Architects having 65 days from January 1 to come up with detailed concept plans before a start to construction, scheduled for later in the year.
The projects are expected to take three years to complete.
The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority is overseeing the projects, along with the Christchurch City Council, Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu, and Environment Canterbury.
Cera chief executive Roger Sutton said today's announcement marked an important step in the city's recovery.
"Next year is the year we really want to start doing things. We really want to start seeing some real action happening here,'' he said.
Mr Sutton said ideas from the public that were included in the central Christchurch blueprint would be incorporated into the project's design.
Opus southern regional manager Glen Hughes said consortium partners had been involved in developing the Liverpool One shopping, residential and leisure complex in Liverpool, a waterfront park in China, and a university complex next to a river in Wales.
The consortium would be looking at elements of waterfront development in Brisbane and Melbourne.
"Essentially this is the waterfront of Christchurch,'' Mr Hughes said at today's announcement on the banks of the Avon River.
"We really feel excited about this opportunity,'' he said.
The consortium felt the "weight of responsibility'' from the city council's Share an Idea campaign last year that gave a clear message that the Avon River was important to residents.
"The river if the lifeblood of the city,'' Mr Hughes said.
He said the consortium was still open to ideas, but one concept that would be developed was a "family playground complex'' at the Centennial Pool site.

text: I've got a hive that I need to move from my neighbors property about 100-150 yds. away. I've heard about the 1 ft. or 1 mi. rule of thumb. I've located a place a few miles away I can move it to temporarily. How long should I keep it there before moving it to my property?

Reviews of this property
easy place to find about 10-12 minutes walk from metro / national express buses Baker Street.Camera clean and warm.
clean bathroom as well as a shower.i can only give positive opinion...the staff at reception are verykind
The apartment was clean and quite comfortable so that it reflects the money we payed. The aerea is perfect if you want to visit all the main sightseeing in London, because it is close to Baker Street tube station. The room had also a furnished kitchen and a TV.
It was a very good and lovely place, I enjoyed my 3 days trip! Thank you for the clean and especally the good beds! Haha. Kind regards, melanie
Stayed here with my mum during a 4-day city trip. We had an overall good experience. Location is great - 5 to 10 minute walk from main shopping street Oxford Street, as well as underground stations Marble Arch and Baker Street. The building is quite old (but I guess many London buildings are), and the room is on the 4th floor (with no elevator), but the premises were overall well-kept and the room we stayed in was clean. Staff were friendly and shared bathroom was cleaned every morning!
We enjoyed having our own little kitchen in order to make breakfast in the morning. Be aware though that there are no basics such as salt, pepper, or butter/cooking oil, and no tea towels. It was a bit of a hassle to buy such things for a visit of only a few days. I would recommend the host to provide these.
Overall, great London stay when on a budget!
Great located in the centre of London. Less minute walk to the hyde park,main shopping street and to the underground. Clean room and great service by the employees. We would come back to this hotel
The people of the residence treat us really well from the first moment.
The studio its located in a really good area of london, its clean and comfortable.
Highly recommended if you want to spend a week in the city.
We suggest make any change in the room the matters was a little older and the tab from the kitchen wasn't to useful when you need to clean different stuff.
The room is not so big but so easy to keep warm when you came from outside.
Has been a great experience if I back to London ill probably repeat place.
Kind regards.
Very nice studio. Great location and easy to find.
Polite welcoming.
The only disadvantage is that is on the top floor and no elevator.
I would definately recomend it to friends.
Thank you!
We've had a really lovely time in London and the apartmemt itself was one of the many reasons. It had all that we could possibly need. Yes, the bathroom was shared with other guests but it was never occupied so it felt like ours. Definitely the biggest advantage was the kitchen, it's always good to have an exclusive access ;) The only thing that we were sad about, was that the toaster was apparently broken. All things considered, it was a great stay. The staff was nice and helpful, we've even had a little chat with the maid. Probably the best place you could stay in London.

It was an astute piece of marketing on the part of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra to launch its 2013 season with Tan Dun conducting his Martial Arts Trilogy.
Chinese New Year was celebrated under the now starless roof of the Civic, with an ecstatic audience enjoying a clever concoction of visual and musical highlights from the three martial arts films to which Tan had provided soundtracks.
As older composers have already discovered, film music does not always respond to a symphonic upgrade but, entranced by exotic and often highly poetic on-screen images, issues of symphonic development did not take a high priority.
A narrative line had been constructed through the three films, linking magical moments like the treetop jousting from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the masked play-within-a-play from The Banquet.
For the latter film, the composer had recast his music as a piano concerto, with Yingdi Sun skilfully navigating the part originally written for Lang Lang.
Using an idiom that came perilously close to Richard Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto, the score culminated in a fulsome climax, in which we could watch Tan himself, up on the screen, blissed out by sumptuous sequences.
Hyper-energetic violinist Ryu Goto opened the evening with the least successful and longest of the three concertos. Based around the movie Hero, it was marred by too many soft-focus pentatonic tunes, window-dressed with the composer's familiar catalogue of unconventional percussion.
The star here was Zhao Xiaoxia on guqin, who slapped, strummed and plucked her amplified zither, unlocking a sound world that evoked everything from Taiko drums to an oriental pedal steel.
Those familiar with Yo-Yo Ma on the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon soundtrack may have been surprised to find the cello replaced by erhu, an ancient Chinese fiddle.
Here, Tan Wei won us over with grace and musicianship as well as the ease with which she delivered some fearsome cadenzas.
The erhu brought a subtle eroticism to the beguiling melodies, and there was even drama on stage when drummer Leonard Sakofsky threaded his way through the players to duet with the glamorous soloist.
What: New Zealand Symphony Orchestra
Where: The Civic

Despite the lack of National support, I decided this was too important an issue to let them deny us.....
I decided I would run a merit badge project, even if we cannot award the badge.....
I approached our scouting leaders, and got their support to run the project, I also became an assistant scoutmaster (had planned to anyway)
I held an information session at my hives in Fall, to show everyone what we will do, and how to work a hive.
I approached the priest at our scouting hall for a local location but despite trying to educate him (a 8 page booklet/presentation which I doubt he even looked at) , he refused to allow them on church property ( we have 3 acres not used) , so looked to a local farmer who has given us space a mile away, and convenient to me.
Some boys and I did a display of beekeeping at our Central Carolina Fair, and we won $100 towards the project.
I took the old 1983 Bee Keeping Merit Badge book and have rewritten it, rewriting the pests and meds sections completely, and updating the rest, keeping the gist of the book the same as before. One of our Master Beekeepers is proof reading for me. Anyone who wishes to run a Scout project is welcome to a copy when done.
I approached our bee club for mentors
I approached all the suppliers I have used for my bee equipment and 3 of 4 replied and donated to the project
one of our local breeders is an Eagle scout and has offered a nuc or pkg of bees (*will know more in march)
I created a blog to run, organize and record our progress
We will do all the Merit Badge requirements and record this information..
We have 8 boys, 5 scouters (incl me), and 4 parents involved
We were given:
1x 8 Frame hive with 3 supers and frames, bottom board inner and out covers
1x 10 frame hive ,1 deep and 2 supers, plus all frames and foundation, plus bottom board, and covers and entrance reducer, PLUS 6x veils
1x smoker
2x hive tools
some meds and 3 hive items from a Beek who no longer keeps bees but had them left over and had been a scout.
Lastly, this last week, I presented to local council, was warmly received and offered up that any scout in our district is welcome to join us.

So I placed hives on in a new yard this year on a CSA. I pulled a few boxes of honey last week and spun it yesterday. It is a gold color, verging on being yellow with a slight minty after taste. Any ideas what they were foraging?
I have never seen anything like it, and the flavor is outstanding!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I wouldn't use a prong or e-collar as it sounds like she really wants to please you but just isn't sure yet. Using corrections could discourage her from trying new behaviors, which is what you want right now.
For the food thing, have you taught her not to grab food yet? The game It's Yer Choice was really helpful in teaching my dog self-control. She used to bite at my hands but now if I tell her "wait," she will let me set food on the ground right in front of her and won't budge until I tell her to.
It may just be a matter of timing for your stay and down commands. Are you using a marker to indicate the exact second she does the behavior you want? A good obedience class would be helpful because the instructor can tell you if your timing is off. And it's really good socialization for rescues, besides. I actually had no idea I was luring my dog to heel crooked until a trainer pointed out I was feeding her with my palm in front of my body instead of to the side. Totally had no clue.
You haven't had your dog very long- I think it's great that she's so biddable and likes you so much, clearly. Don't worry too much about not having perfect obedience. I once went to a competition where this woman was really frustrated at her GSD because he wouldn't sit straight. Then he came over to me and sat perfectly because he wanted pets and he just happened to sit down that way. The dogs don't get why we want them to do these arbitrary things so we have to be patient.

I agree that it might be a good idea for you to look into some basic pet manners classes taught by a qualified instructor using reward-based methods. It's hard to tell over the Internet, but a lot of what you're describing sounds like the dog is very unsure of what's being asked and is throwing a lot of appeasement signals at you, which leads me to believe that (a) your training mechanics aren't clear; and (b) your dog could probably benefit from improved confidence and would probably do best with R+ approaches.
With her history and behavior, I don't think I would use a corrective tool of any kind. I think you may cause more harm than good. I think she will need a great deal of patience.
Aside from my rather useless reply. I agree with the previous respondents. I believe training classes are as much or more for us than the dogs.
Obedience training I've learned is a non stop 24/7 task. Especially with an untrained dog. Some dogs pick things up quicker than others. I didn't see if you mentioned you have her in classes with a qualified instructor.
My advice, get her into a class structure with a qualified instructor. Obedience training is not all about the dog. Obedience training teaches the handler what to do and what not to do. So your being trained as much as the dog is being trained.
I don't see a need for a prong. Persistance pays off in the end.
On the stay command. Try this. Put her in a sit. Hold up one finger and with authority command her to stay. Take a half step back for a second, then step back towards her and command "break". Treat and praise. Just keep doing it over and over. Repetition and persistance will pay off. Keep doing this and when she seems to be doing good at your distance, take another step further away. Key is, if she gets up or moves from position, you have to put her back into that original position. If she breaks for any reason without your release command, no treat. She will get.
With her rolling and licking from a down command seems like a submisive behavior. When she does that, it's not the desired action of the command. You need to put her back into a down position. Just like with the stay command, you have to treat at the proper time. Do not treat her when she rolls over. This will reinforce her to do this everytime you give her a down command. Instead, give her the down command, used with the hand signal palm down. As soon as she reaches the floor treat and praise. Keep doing that. If she rolls over from a down, no treat or praise.
These are things you will learn in classes. When to praise and treat and when not to. It is one of the most important things you will learn in dog training. Treating at the wrong times can make small problems harder to remedy. I was training my GSD on a leave it command one time in class. I was walking him by a toy he was not to touch. I was having a difficult time with it until my instructor watched us performing the task and informed me I was treating him at the wrong time. I was treating him just after we walked by the toy but he was still making eye contact with the toy. I should have been treating him as soon as his eye contact left the toy and was back on our walking. That one simple small minute thing made this training task a breeze. As soon as I corrected myself on when to treat, he picked right up on it and has been great with the command ever since. This transpires over to other training commands also. Thats why I mentioned getting into training classes are highly beneficial for both you and the dog.
We'll see what others have to say but that certainly does "not" sound like behavior that merits a prong collar to me, She doesn't understand what you want.
Maybe lure her into the "down" with a treat. Treat when she's down and an "aa' if she rolls over and no treat.
Or if she is rolling over anyway add "roll over" (as a command) use a (hand motion) then when she rolls another treat.
Take your time it sounds like your doing just fine. Course I deal with Boxers also so I am used to a certain amount of goofiness!
Obedience training help!
So let me give everyone a rundown about my Gsd before I get any answers.
I have a 3 1/2 year old female intact pure german shepherd. I rescued her in November of 2013 from a sad situation. Her owners couldn't afford her and she was very malnourished. She weighed 50lbs and didn't even have strength to jump into my car (which is a small hatchback and not high off the ground) Lola is very loving, she jumped right up and licked me when I went to pick her up, and she is the sweetest girl. I got her on some good grain free food as the previous owners said she had stomach issues and they couldn't find a good food for her (I personally don't think they could afford anything other than what she was being fed) and she has put on a healthy 15lbs since I got her. I took her to my work (I'm a vet assistant) and she was given all her shots and unfortunately diagnosed with heart worms but thankfully she didn't have the actual disease so it was easily treatable. Ever since the day I got her Lola has listened well, I was able to let her off the leash not even 24hours after having her and she would come to me when called. And if she was doing something she wasn't supposed to I could give a command (which is hard to explain in writing but it's kinda like your saying "at" but more emphasis on the a and a lot more drawn out) and she would immediately stop and come to me. But now after having her for a few months I am trying to teach her manners and obedience which she was never taught before. She will sit when told and she kind of knows down but when I give her the down command I have my hand palm down and I lower it to the ground and she will lay but then she immediately will lay flat on her side and lick my hand and twist and roll. I can't even attempt the stay command, she will just get up every time I go to step away from her and even though I immediately correct her and put her back into the sit or down position she will just lick me or rub on me and continue to not listen. I have not used a prong collar or a choke collar nor have I used an e collar on her. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do or if I should try a prong collar during training? I have tried treats but she is so overly food motivated (from being starved by her previous owners) that's she gets more distracted by trying to find the food in my pocket. She doesn't really have a favorite toy that she plays with, she will play with a toy for a minute or two and then become bored with it and move on to something else. I want to try to work with her myself before bringing in a trainer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I want greatly to have her as a retrieving dog/dock dog but i know that is very unlikely. But my main goal is just for her to be obedient.
Sorry I realize that this was a book of a post but I thought that everyone needed some insight into her background!

Re: st: Boxplots - avoiding the box in a strata with a small number of observations

Re: st: Boxplots - avoiding the box in a strata with a small number of observations
Tue, 4 Sep 2012 09:07:40 +0100
Allowing two or more -over()- options is characteristic only of -graph
box-, -graph dot-, -graph bar- etc. It is not possible in practice
with (a) -graph twoway- or (b) any command based on -twoway- such as
-dotplot- (although (b) at least is programmable).
-stripplot- (SSC) offers most if not of the flexibility you need. To
concoct a problem similar to yours, I typed
sysuse auto
gen himpg = mpg > 20
Then after some experimentation, this plot
stripplot weight , over(rep78) by(himpg) vertical box(barw(0.5)
blcolor(gs8)) width(100) center stack height(0.4)
seems adequate.
-stripplot- helps because
1. Both -over()- and -by()- are supported, thus allowing two-way
2. If a group contains only one value, the box would be a bar of zero
length, which Stata won't (can't) show visibly.
3. You can adjust the box colour to play down the boxes while keeping
them visible. I think this is a good idea generally.
4. You can tinker with bin width, spacing of points and box width
N.B. One stratum, two or more strata.

Prenatal Pro™ provides optimal supplementation for women wishing to become pregnant' pregnant women and lactating women.
The earlier supplementation begins the better because women need adequate nutrient stores to meet the greater nutrient demands for a growing baby such as calcium' iron and zinc. Nutrient deficiencies are associated with pregnancy complications' low birth weight and birth defects.
Prenatal Pro™ is the only prenatal multivitamin on the market to use NatureFolate™' a blend of natural folates' in place of synthetic folic acid.
Prenatal Pro™ features mineral chelates with far superior absorption compared to minerals typically found in prenatal multivitamins.
A daily serving of Prenatal Pro™ provides adequate amounts of calcium and magnesium for healthy bone and muscle development. Inclusion of healthy amounts of vitamins D and K allow for proper directing of calcium to hard tissues' such as bone and teeth' and not to the soft tissues. Ferrochel chelated iron not only has high bioavailability but also excellent tolerability. It does not cause constipation like so many iron sources do. Iodine is an important mineral for infants and an important inclusion to this formula' as research has shown that iodine deficiency in infancy can lead to learning disability and lowered achievement motivation.
Prenatal Pro™ now provides 200 mcg of Iodine in each serving' the minimum level recommended during pregnancy and postpartum by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Prenatal Pro™ is also designed to prevent the fatigue that is so common during pregnancy. Vitamin B6' found in Prenatal Pro™' is known to improve pregnancy nausea.

Great Prenatal Pack
I have been taking this product for several months now - as we continue to try to get pregnant. It is a perfect well rounded vitamin pack - giving me all of the essential vitamins I need at this time in my life. I know that when I do get pregnant - this packet will help in so many ways.
I like that they come in individual packets. I like that it includes natural folates rather than synthetic. I also like that the fish oil/omega doesn't leave a after taste.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

It's too bad, I'm too good....
notice how most politicians running for office will also change their accent/dialect to match where they are speaking?
for example speaking with a southern drawl when talking in the south or a more Bostonian? accent up in Boston.
Bush looked like an idiot because his advisers told him the best way to win votes was to act like "the common man" or "someone you would have a beer with" so that's what he did...and it made him look stupid to you and me Pezz but to A LOT of people across America he reminded them of a friend so to speak and that actually prompted them to vote for him...consciously or unconsciously.
Hilary Clinton did the same thing...listening to her try to pull off a southern drawl with a splash of ebonics is literally one of the funniest thing I've heard in years.
Pezz if your really interested in this point look up "code-switching" that's what they call this....and ALL politicians and generally all people do it.
I talk differently to my Boss at work then I do to my friends when I'm hanging out, the point is Obama is better at sounding like his audience then Romney for example.
to me that doesn't mean anything but to the electorate(aka voters) over all it matters A LOT, in fact Obama's ability to sound like his audience is probably more important to him getting elected then any of his actual policies to be honest..
nobody seems to care about policies anymore.
Bush got elected because "you could drink a beer with him"
Obama got re-elected because "he's a cool dude"
it sounds absolutely ******ed...and is ******ed....but that doesn't change the fact that it's still true.

- Often I Am Permitted to Return to a Meadow by Robert Duncan
Writing Ideas
- Robert Duncan, as Peter O'Leary points out in his guide to this poem, was influenced by myth and dream, and based "Often I Am Permitted to Return to a Meadow" on a recurring dream. Keep a record of your dreams, writing them down immediately upon waking. Use whatever scraps of image, color, sound, or feeling you record to build a poem or series of poems.
- Duncan's poem builds on full and near rhymes such as made/mine/mind and fall/full/fold. Circle any other near or full rhymes in the poem. Then, use these groupings to write a poem that plays on rhyme and repetition. Like Duncan, consider the "source of the sun" or the imaginative place from which you write.
- "Often I Am Permitted to Return to a Meadow" includes archaic word choice ("wherefrom") and moments of inverted syntax ("She it is Queen"). Take a poem you've already written and experiment with replacing common words or phrases with old-fashioned or archaic locutions. Rearrange sentences for maximum awkwardness. Don't worry about maintaining the "sense" of your poem; think instead about the surface. What happens, not just to your poem, but to your thinking about language during the process?

Discussion Questions
- What kinds of tension do you feel between Duncan's poem as "made" and "made-up"? What other oppositions does the poem seem to be navigating between? Note the occurrence of words like "shadows," "likenesses," "dream," and "secret."
- What effect do the appearance of capitalized names (First Beloved; Lady; Queen Under the Hill) have on you as you read? How does Duncan's use of personal myth and private code create a sense of intimacy? Do you feel "permitted" to enter Duncan's poem? Why or why not?

Teaching Tips
- After reading O'Leary's poem guide, have students do an online image search to bring up Jess Collins's illustration for the cover of The Opening of the Field. As a class, think about the relationship between the image and the poem: why might Duncan have insisted the image accompany the poem? This could lead to a broader discussion of visual art and poetry focusing around Duncan and Jess and their collaborations: see "The Assemblages of Jess," "Robert Duncan as Visual Artist"; and a link to their collaborative scrapbook. After doing some reading on the pair, have students report their findings: what do Jess's assemblages and Duncan's poems share? What was their method for collaboration? How does thinking about collage help students grapple with some of each artist's works' complexity?
- Duncan's poem is a kind of oblique ars poetica, or poem about poetry. Have students research the term to discover who first used it (Horace) and why. Then ask them to think about Duncan's poem in light of ars poetica: how does Duncan depict the sources of poetry, his relationship to language, and his reasons for writing? Compare Duncan's poem to other more self-conscious examples of ars poetica, such as or Paul Verlaine's "Ars Poetica," Archibald MacLeish's or Dorothea Lasky's. What claims for poetry and for the poet does each poem make? How does Duncan's poem differ from or conform to the tradition of ars poetica as your students understand it?

Robert Duncan: "Often I Am Permitted to Return to a Meadow"
Poem Guide
I first read Robert Duncan's "Often I Am Permitted to Return to a Meadow" on a beautifully permissive afternoon in the spring shade of leafy deciduous trees on the campus of Reed College in Portland, Oregon. It was 1989. I was finishing up a year as a visiting student, elated by the transformative power of poetry, which I had been studying all year. By good fortune I had Jim Powell as my teacher; a small group of us were sitting outside in a circle for his weekly seminar in 20th-century American poetry. Powell, who was from the Bay Area, had been a member of Duncan's Homer group, which met regularly in Duncan's San Francisco Victorian for the sole purpose of reading Homer's Iliad line by line. As an adherent and innovator of what his friend Charles Olson called Projective Verse, Duncan favored a poetry that was breath-based, rhythmical, even ritually incantatory. To Duncan's imagination, the poem was an archaeological record of language, and he was reverent to the point of obedience toward its ancient, mythical pronouncements.
That afternoon on the open field of Reed College's front lawn, Powell was following Duncan's lead, initiating us into the mysteries of Duncan's poetry as he recited this poem and we listened to its mesmerizing cadences:
Often I Am Permitted to Return to a Meadow
as if it were a scene made-up by the mind,
that is not mine, but is a made place,
that is mine, it is so near to the heart,
an eternal pasture folded in all thought
so that there is a hall therein
that is a made place, created by light
wherefrom the shadows that are forms fall.
The opening line serves as both a title and a summoning—in an incantatory sense—to enter the world of Duncan's imagination. That world isn't Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, and Duncan isn't Gene Wilder, surrounded by sugar-craving children and Oompa Loompas, singing "Pure Imagination" ("If you want to view paradise / simply look around and view it"). Instead, it's an ambiguous place, neither made up by the mind ("as if it were a scene made up") nor belonging to the poet, but an actual "made place" that he claims as his own. In Duncan's alluring off-rhymes (mind and mine), we hear the poem's tensions: mind versus heart, heart versus thought, made-up things versus eternal things. Also hidden in the poem's title is its most important opposition: permission versus restriction. Why is Duncan permitted to return to this meadow only "often"? And why is he summoning us to this place?
The word summon comes from two Latin roots: the prefix sub-, which means "under" but includes a sense of secrecy, and the verb monere, which means "to advise or warn." Of what permissions and restrictions does Duncan's poem secretly warn? The poem's fourth stanza offers clues and serves as a touchstone for me about what poetry is. In their divine pronouncement, these lines are as enduringly oracular as they are mythic:
Wherefrom fall all architectures I am
I say are likenesses of the First Beloved
whose flowers are flames lit to the Lady.
It's here that Duncan indicates the holy source of his poetic feeling (the mythic "Lady" who is the candle of his flame), and the myth through which he imagines her, namely the "fall." (I'm reminded here of the cherubim posted at the entrance to the Garden of Eden at the end of Milton's Paradise Lost, when God boots Adam and Eve out into the world to fend for themselves, and posts two angels of flame with swords made of fire at the entrance back into the garden.) By repeating the unusually formal word "wherefrom" in the third and fourth stanzas, Duncan underscores the origins of his inspiration and generates verbal tension. He also suggests the pleasure of its release by placing the verb of his sentence before its subject. (Properly speaking, Duncan's sentence should read: "All the architectures that I am fall from . . .") Why speak so awkwardly? By doing so, Duncan strings together the thumping rhyme of fall and all, so that his pronouncement (including the biblical flourish I am) is both mythic and oracular. The summons of the poem brings the poet before the dream, as if before a court of law, where he's compelled to bear witness to the vexed source of his creative power.
Expanding the early scene in this poem, Duncan then introduces two terms crucial to understanding how he relates to this "meadow":
She it is Queen Under the Hill
whose hosts are a disturbance of words within words
that is a field folded.
His mythical Lady ("Queen Under the Hill") is served by hosts who are a disturbance that language makes within language, imagined as folds within a field (or a field, impossibly, folded back on itself). The Lady's aura is disturbing, a word that originally meant "to throw things into disorder." Hosts echoes the biblical heavenly hosts: angelic multitudes warring for God. Duncan may also be making a pun on the eucharistic bread of Christian rites; that host derives from the Latin hostia, for victim, a notion complementary with the disturbance of these factions warring for the Lady.
As creative as he was contentious, Duncan writes in "Pages from a Notebook" (first published in 1953, when he was just 34 years old): "I make poetry as other men make war or make love or make states or revolutions: to exercise my faculties at large." While most might think of fields and meadows as pastoral places, Duncan imagines the meadow here as an apocalyptic battlefield wherefrom his poetic purpose emerges, and where he launches his most lasting salvos against the swarming, disturbing hosts of the Lady that he is duty-bound—or permitted—to serve.
In religious terms, as in Duncan's poem, initiation is what intercedes between restriction and permission. Rites of initiation provide for the passage from an unbounded but unconcentrated role within a religious culture to a more bounded but intensified role. Such rites are typically harrowing ordeals of divination, in which the initiate comes into his or her own knowledge and power. When Duncan wrote "Often I Am Permitted to Return to a Meadow" in 1956, he was 37 years old and on the threshold of what he would come to refer to as his major work, namely the poems comprising his great trilogy of the 1960s, The Opening of the Field (1960), Roots & Branches (1964), and Bending the Bow (1968), along with the two volumes of Ground Work, both published in the 1980s. In this sense, it's possible to read Duncan's poem as the record of both his and then our initiation into the disturbing, war-torn but power-laden field he had begun to identify in his work.
The real work of transformation begins at the poem's midway point, where it undergoes a dramatic shift in perspective, from the poet musing on the present nature of this "scene made-up by the mind" to its peculiar origins:
It is only a dream of the grass blowing
east against the source of the sun
in an hour before the sun's going down
whose secret we see in a children's game
of ring around of roses told.
In Duncan's dream state, children dance death's jig, "Ring around the Rosie," commemorating the Plague. When Grove Press first published The Opening of the Field in 1960, it included a frontispiece (actually a rejected cover illustration) of a collage drawing by Jess, Duncan's domestic partner, depicting children dancing in a ring. Duncan was insistent that this image appear in the book in some form. Children dancing to ward off the Plague are emblematic of the powerful influence that imagination both coaxes (permits) into being, and protects (restricts) against. ("I had caught the poetic mode of being," Duncan once wrote in an essay, "a contagion, and came down with poetry.")
The dream Duncan commemorates in this poem is real, reflecting his own initiation into poetry. In The H.D. Book, Duncan's unfinished prose magnum opus, which is an amalgam of memoir, reflection, poetic analysis, and archetypal and Freudian psychology, the poet relates a recurrent dream he had as a boy, in which he comes upon an expansive field where children are dancing in a ring. Before long, the grasses mysteriously and ominously bend in Duncan's direction, indicating to him that he is "It." The dream then shifts to an underground throne room in which Duncan recognizes that he should occupy the empty throne up on the dais, at which point the cavern where the throne sits begins to flood and the dream goes black.
Duncan's parents, theosophists who had adopted Duncan as an infant, taught him that this dream was a memory from his previous lifetime, when he had lived (and been a poet) in Atlantis. He himself took it, intuitively, to be the prophetic authorization for the poetry he would write, a visionary and catastrophic clairvoyance of the work to come. Duncan's dream encodes mysterious knowledge that the poet expects himself to decipher; partially, this includes knowledge of his own doom. Every initiation, at least metaphorically, involves a death, or a precognition of it. It's why the vision of the Lady is disturbing in the poem; Duncan recognizes, one way or the other, that she brings him news of his own demise, in a disturbing roil of "words within words."
For this reason, the final five lines of the poem, echoing its opening, are a haunting premonition:
Often I am permitted to return to a meadow
as if it were a given property of the mind
that certain bounds hold against chaos,
that is a place of first permission,
everlasting omen of what is.
The repetition of the poem's first line is crucial: a sounding out of the poem's limits, this time with an added sense of wariness. Note the jarring conditional of the line immediately following: "as if it were . . ." The line "that certain bounds hold against chaos" turns the poem on its heels, inverting its pastoral prospects into something much more menacing.
Try reading the line aloud: it's not easy. Each word demands its own space, pressing out a protective bubble against the chaos crushing into it. Omen is the operative word in the last line: a prophetic sign, an augury, for good or for evil. The poem's final words, what is, echo the earlier I am, "wherefrom fall" all shadows. Shadow and chaos are bounded by the poet's expansive imagination, over which he's not the controlling agent; rather, he is its obedient servant, permitted from time to time to enter into and elucidate its mysteries but, like a dutiful priest or shaman, bound by his sense that this knowledge exceeds him, that its nature is overwhelming, and that the augur of the poem is as uncertain as it is true.
"In the world of saying and telling in which I first came into words," wrote Duncan in "The Truth and Life of Myth," his "essay in essential autobiography" published in 1968, "there is a primary trouble, a panic that can still come upon me where the word no longer protects, transforming the threat of an overwhelming knowledge into the power of an imagined reality." "Often I Am Permitted to Return to a Meadow" is a poem in which the word no longer protects either Duncan or the reader. Nevertheless, the poem summons you to keep coming back to its invented reality, each time permitting you to glimpse the disturbing knowledge hidden in the folds of its bounded fields.

Described by Kenneth Rexroth as "one of the most accomplished, one of the most influential" of the postwar American poets, Robert Duncan was an important part of both the Black Mountain school of poetry, led by Charles Olson, and the San Francisco Renaissance, whose other members included poets Jack Spicer and Robin Blaser. A distinctive voice in American poetry, Duncan's idiosyncratic poetics drew on myth, occultism, religion—including the theosophical tradition in which he was raised—and innovative writing practices such as projective verse and composition by field. During his lifetime, critics such as M.L. Rosenthal heralded him as "the most intellectual of our poets from the point of view of the effect upon him of a wide, critically intelligent reading." Duncan's work drew on a wide range of references, including Homer, Dante, and the work of modernist poets such as H.D. His many books of poetry include Heavenly City Earthly City...
