The Old Man in the Corner HTML version
VI. All He Knew
"The tramp was missing," continued the man in the corner, "and Mr. Francis Howard
tried to find the missing tramp. Going round to the front, and seeing the lights at No. 26
still in, he called upon Mr. Shipman. The jeweller had had a few friends to dinner, and
was giving them whiskies-and-sodas before saying good night. The servants had just
finished washing up, and were waiting to go to bed; neither they nor Mr. Shipman nor his
guests had seen or heard anything of the suspicious individual.
"Mr. Francis Howard went on to see Mr. Ferdinand Knopf. This gentleman was having
his warm bath, preparatory to going to bed. So Robertson told the detective. However,
Mr. Knopf insisted on talking to Mr. Howard through his bath-room door. Mr. Knopf
thanked him for all the trouble he was taking, and felt sure that he and Mr. Shipman
would soon recover possession of their diamonds, thanks to the persevering detective.
"He! he! he!" laughed the man in the corner. "Poor Mr. Howard. He persevered--but got
no farther; no, nor anyone else, for that matter. Even I might not be able to convict the
thieves if I told all I knew to the police.
"Now, follow my reasoning, point by point," he added eagerly.
"Who knew of the presence of the diamonds in the house of Mr. Shipman and Mr.
Knopf? Firstly," he said, putting up an ugly claw-like finger, "Mr. Shipman, then Mr.
Knopf, then, presumably, the man Robertson."
"And the tramp?" said Polly.
"Leave the tramp alone for the present since he has vanished, and take point number two.
Mr. Shipman was drugged. That was pretty obvious; no man under ordinary
circumstances would, without waking, have his keys abstracted and then replaced at his
own bedside. Mr. Howard suggested that the thief was armed with some anaesthetic; but
how did the thief get into Mr. Shipman's room without waking him from his natural
sleep? Is it not simpler to suppose that the thief had taken the precaution to drug the
jeweller _before_ the latter went to bed?"
"Wait a moment, and take point number three. Though there was every proof that Mr.
Shipman had been in possession of £25,000 worth of goods since Mr. Knopf had a
cheque from him for that amount, there was no proof that in Mr. Knopf's house there was
even an odd stone worth a sovereign.
"And then again," went on the scarecrow, getting more and more excited, "did it ever
strike you, or anybody else, that at _no_ time, while the tramp was in custody, while all

anderson french door lock adjustment
I have 2008 Anderson French doors. The dead bolt lock is difficult to latch. Any suggestions?
Can you figure out how to post a picture?
9 times out of 10 the operating door has sagged enough to cause the bolt to hit the bottom of the catch plate---
Take a picture showing the gap around the door--particularly at the top---
Also--extend the dead bolt with the door open and see if it is centered to the hole---
Then close the door and see if the two doors are flat to each other when closed--is one door good at the top but out at the bottom?

Little-known Abraham Kiplimo became the first Ugandan winner in the 63-year history of the Beppu-Oita Mainichi Marathon, taking four minutes off his best to outrun two of Japan's best marathoners of 2013 for the win in 2:09:23. Tokyo-area club runner Haruka Yamaguchi (AC Kita) joined him in the books with the women's win in 2:41:56.
In the almost complete absence of Beppu-Oita's usual wind, thick fog blanketed the course for most of the race. After irregular pacing for the first 10 km things settled down near the mid-2:08 target pace with a large pack of over twenty men up front. With a 2:08:00 at last year's Tokyo Marathon making him Japan's fastest marathoner last year, Moscow World Championships marathon team member Kazuhiro Maeda (Team Kyudenko) was the favorite, but at 25 km he became the race's first major casualty as he gradually lost touch with the pack. Top-ranked first-timers Ryo Kiname (Team Mitsubishi Juko Nagasaki) and Ryuji Watanabe (Team Toyota Kyushu) were next at 28 km before a surge at 30 km from Watanabe's teammate, 2:10:29 man and former Hakone Ekiden star Masato Imai (Team Toyota Kyushu), broke things apart.
Taking things down to a 2:55 km, Imai went out front with only Mongolian national record holder Ser-Od Bat-Ochir and Kiplimo in pursuit. Ethiopian Gezahegn Abera closed the gap to make it a quartet by 32 km, with teammates Kenichi Shiraishi and Takaaki Koda (both Team Asahi Kasei) and the great Daniel Njenga (Kenya/Team Yakult) making up a chase trio. The lead group sparred for the next 2 km before a hard surge from Kiplimo got rid of Abera and opened a gap on Bat-Ochir and Imai. Imai took his time passing Bat-Ochir and moving forward, alternately closing the gap to leader Kiplimo and falling back. At 38 km he was 15 seconds back, but from there he began to close for good, 8 seconds down at 41 km and 5 seconds back with 500 m to go. The gap proved too far to close and Kiplimo got the win in 2:09:23, Imai taking 59 seconds off his best for 2nd in 2:09:30.
In the race for 3rd, Shiraishi and Koda dropped Njenga and passed Abera in short order. Closing on Bat-Ochir, Shiraishi, who won last month's Oita City Half Marathon ahead of his marathon debut on much of the same course, surged hard to go past Bat-Ochir into 3rd. He held on to that position to cross the line a great debut time of 2:10:36, Bat-Ochir 4th in 2:10:59, just his second time under 2:11:00 after winning December's Hofu Yomiuri Marathon in 2:09:00. Koda looked set for 5th, but in the last kilometer he was run down by former Komazawa University star Soji Ikeda (Team Yakult), who had fallen off the pack mid-race but kept pushing on and running down casualties to outrun Koda 2:11:12 to 2:11:21. All told it was a good start to the year for Japanese men's marathoning, with three more competitive marathons due up in the next four weeks.
Back in the masses, Koki Kawauchi (Takasaki Keizai Univ.), the youngest brother of Beppu-Oita course record holder Yuki Kawauchi (Saitama Pref. Gov't.), ran a large PB of 2:21:48 for 32nd, almost tying middle brother Yoshiki Kawauchi's best and bringing him closer to joining his oldest brother sub-2:20. 59+ world record holder Yoshihisa Hosaka (Natural Foods AC) had a good debut as a 65-year-old as he ran 2:49:01, the fifth-fastest time ever by a 65-year-old.

Congratulations Abraham Kiplimo, for signifying Uganda on the map.
A look back in history:
"On February 17th 1963, 28 year-old Toru Terasawa of Japan reduced Ethiopian Abebe Bikila's world record by less than a second to 2-15:15.8 during the Beppu-Oita Marathon held on the Kyushu Island in Japan."
- February 3, 2014 at 7:20 AM
Before this race, Imai told reporters that he does not wish to be called "Yama no Kamisama" any more but to be referred as a marathon runner. The transformation of Imai has started and look forward to his continued development as a marathon runner.

Over a short period of time, the Materials Research Division at Risø DTU, in collaboration with the Danish surgical bandage maker Sahva, has developed the principles for a new bandage splint for hip surgery patients. The new splint can reduce the need for large external support structures to fixate the hip following hip surgery. The secret behind the fast development is collaboration between a research scientist, an enterprise and a full-time student using this case for her bachelor project.
They are too large and impractical and do not always work as intended; This is common knowledge to physicians as well as physiotherapists at Holbæk hospital in Western Zealand who, via an enquiry to the Zealand Knowledge Forum in Næstved, contacted research scientists at Risø DTU, who were immediately hooked on the idea of developing an improved model.
Using funding from the Zealand Growth Forum earmarked for establishing meetings for generating ideas, a workshop was set up. The workshop participants involved health service, research and investor professionals as well as an enterprise and a patient. The purpose was to brainstorm together and arrive at product optimisation. Based on the ideas generated in the workshop, the Materials Research Division at Risø DTU established a project in collaboration with the company Sahva which, among other things, produces bandages, to find a solution to the problem.

Cargo mounting?
I want to mount items I carry like first aid kit, hatchet, maglite, etc. with some quick fist attachments but the cargo area is all plastic so not sure will be sturdy enough. Anyone have solutions you're using?
Re: Cargo mounting?
Re: Cargo mounting?
Being that I don't have the adaptive cruise system, I have a nice roomy compartment beneath the driver's seat. I use that for first aid and some other small essentials.
Re: Cargo mounting?
I got one of these to hold all that misc stuff in my cargo compartment. It folds up when you are not using it. The dividers are adjustable (velcro) and it is inexpensive. It has handles on each end, so you can grab it and take it with you at the beach, campground or event.

quote:Care to explain how this is possible?
I have said since day one he does this through EO. It's coming our only hope is the USSC shooting it down as an over reach.
Part of this will be a ban on private transfers. If an individual wants to sell a gun to another individual, he/she will have to go through an FFL to do the background check. That gun would also be logged into some kind of database.
Seriously, a single sentence about considering executive action on mental health and updating ATF programs equals an Executive Order banning guns?
This issue is already losing steam and gun prices have already began falling in the past 2 weeks. Bottom line, nothing of any consequence is coming.
History shows very few Presidents have used an Executive Order. Of those, at least two have been overturned by the Supreme Court (a decidedly Conservative institution currently). Even if a law is passed requiring additional programs you can be sure the Republican majority House won't approve the funding to make it happen.
Don't believe me? Check out what's happened to Feinstein's positive train control Bill.
Can't do gun control by Executive Order I'm having a hard time figuring out how they (MSM) made the fricking jump from lunatic a-holes shooting kids, and their fricked up degenerate parents, to guns and gun control so quickly. Those kids haven't been in their graves one month yet, but we're talking about banning certain types of guns, most of which haven't been proven to have been used in the most recent shooting. This one has me puzzled.
4. There us already a round limit on magazines in CT.

In my relatively short time in this world, I've had a lot of girlfriends. I'm something of a serial monogamist, with a couple of notable long girlfriendless gaps. Now is really the first time in my life that I've been interested in playing the field and truly seeing who's out there. Though I've gotten a lot better, historically, if a girl is interested, I'll just commit to the idea of being exclusive with that girl, regardless of whether or not we're compatible or if she raises any red flags.
I used to justify it as giving in to fate. I know now that it is actually a toxic combination of laziness and desperation.
Sometimes my let-the-game-come-to-me approach works out for a few months or even a few years. Then, inexplicably, the relationship stalls, and I'm left wondering what's wrong with me. So, in the spirit of figuring out what precisely is wrong with me, I sat down with one of my few ex-girlfriends with whom I'm still on good terms to talk about my favorite subject: me.
This may be putting the cart a smidge before the horse -- since I'm still in "dating mode" and not so into the idea of pursuing a relationship. But I figured this might the best way to break the pattern of broken relationships.
Sarah was my girlfriend a few years back, and we went out for about a year. In that year, we broke up twice. She eventually moved out of state for work, and, thanks to Facebook, we've reconnected. Here are the highlights of our phone conversation:
Y Me?: Every time we broke up, you would always attribute it to one thing ...
Sarah: Yes, you were very distant and emotionally unavailable. At first, you were awesome. It was all hugs and picnics, then when I wanted to ratchet things up (she wanted us to live together), you'd turn into a zombie.
Y Me?: Can you give some examples?
Sarah: Every time I would talk about our future, you got evasive and would turn it into a joke. I also got the feeling that you would have rather been off drinking with your buddies than spending time with me.
Y Me?: It got to a point when all we did was fight, so that's probably true.
Sarah: We fought because I felt like we weren't going anywhere and you refused to address it. I felt like there was something wrong with me, but I think maybe you just weren't ready for a relationship, but didn't know how to get out without hurting the both of us.
Y Me?: So you think I was scared of commitment?
Sarah: To say the least. But what made it worse is that you were willing to string me along, knowing full well that we were never going to get married.
Y Me?: That's not how I remember it. We were in our early 20s, and I didn't know why you wanted to rush thing s.
Sarah: That may be true, but you wouldn't even have the conversation until I broke up with you. It was really the only time we had serious talks.
Stuff like that hurts to hear, but, in retrospect, everything she said is correct. I, like many men, hate having heavy conversations. I guess the one of the things I'll take from my conversation with Sarah is that had we just been honest with one another, we probably could have avoided a lot of drama and heartbreak. I think a lot of people, myself included, hang on to relationships that aren't going anywhere because of sex. That's really not fair to anyone involved.
Sarah, by the way, is a tenured professor at the University of Texas at El Paso. She is happily married and has two kids. If you have ex-girlfriend/boyfriend stories you'd like to share, feel free to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

What to do with boulder where new pier should be?
63 Attachment(s)
I'm building a deck and nearly finished digging for the piers. I'm using 10" sonnet tubes. Code in my area calls for piers to be dug 4' down.
I've been able to get most of the large rocks out as I'm digging. One of the holes has what appears to be a 12x12x8 rock at the bottom; it could be bigger. It's down about 42" and sticks out about 4" into where the tube is going. Even if I were able to loosen it, I'm not sure how I would get it out of the hole without digging a much larger hole to get it out.
What do you typically do in this situation? is it OK to leave it and cut a notch in the sonnet tube?
Or, do I need to keep working at it and remove it?
Fairly certain you can just dig the rock out, drop your sonotube into the hole and then backfill around the tube.
63 Attachment(s)
Yep, sonotube. thanks for the clarification.
Thanks Pittsville but I was hoping you were going to say, "just pour over it."
Oh well, back to the chain-gang.
You don't have to take out the entire rock,just chip off the 4 inches that's in the path of the sonotube,and your good to go.
What does your municipality state about just drilling holes into the boulder and sinking rebar into it, that will allow you to secure the piling in the sonotube, using it as a base? Check and see if this could be your Brass ring in this case.
Can you post a picture of the layout you have currently, with the sonotubes in the holes.
Depending in the soil in your area you may be better off not dropping the tube all the way into the hole anyway. If the concrete is poured directly against the excavated earth walls (assuming they hold shape quite well) the resulting pair will actually be stronger than if you use a tube and backfill. You may want to discuss this possibility with your local AHJ.
When we encounter big (too big to practically remove in residential and not subject to any extreem engineering issue,) almost all BO's say just pin it with some rebar and pour it....
the logic being the rock is probably the biggest "big foot" we could have.
I suppose might run into some BO that asks for engineering.... but never have yet.
one of the issues is getting a hammer drill into a 4' deep hole, may need more digging to get it to fit down there
63 Attachment(s)
I'm going to dig it out. It's too big to easily get out but not big enough to justify pinning. I was looking for the easy route because once you get past 40" digging turns into chipping with a san angelo bar; the ground seems like it turns to concrete.
Use the boulders to your favor if you can. Really I doubt an inspector is going to gig you for being six inches shy, due to this boulder being there. Invite him or her over, offer a cold soda or Iced Tea while they are there, checking over everything, and making sure it is still on track within the way they would like it to be.
Are you using tube bases? If not can you move the tube 4 inches away? If the top of the rock is at 42 inches and you say it is 8 inches, assuming that is the depth of the rock, essentially it would become a part of the footing if you pour around it. You might want to enlarge around it so a little more concrete can surround it. Pour around it and set the tube just into the concrete. Put some poly over it if you are worried about contaminating the concrete. Think of it as large aggregate.
12x12x8 was expressed in your post in inches or feet by the way? Thread headline suggested a boulder and your post suggested you hit a rock and find you have decide whether to leave or dig out a rock. I get confused at times.
When you said boulder, I was thinking all dimensions mentioned were in feet but wanted to make sure?
It sounds to me like the last concrete collar someone left for a deck if it is all in inches. If you meant 12'x12'x8" I bet it is not a boulder but an old patio pour. Break it up and get rid of it.
Real men are made from a a jackhammer rental once in their life. If it is a real boulder? Not an old footing? Not a slab? You need a guy from Wyoming and their methods of clearing land. And some hard hats. And then some guys in striped suits chained together with picks, wheelbarrows, and chain gang songs to sing.

After more than an hour of coaxing, begging, swearing and finally crying to at least move it a little, I gave up and moved on to other holes. I'll try again tonight, now that the hole has been open to air for a little while maybe it dryed out enough to make it easier.
It is probably a boulder than has been there centuries or eons and is stable and will be.
Dig out the excess well around the offending projection and pour concrete properly and treat is as part of widened footing. The Sonotube will provide a nice finished touch.
If you have a problem with the extra 6" of depth for a small part of the footing/deck support, ask him what should be done after he has a cool drink when it is hot and humid. - Inspectors are human and do not want to create problems because that raises the cost of inspections in most parts of the U.S. The cost of extra inspections is not close to the cost keeping inspectors plus vehicles and benefits (there some minor exceptions).

Could Omnilux LED Therapy Cause or Worsen Sculptra Lumps?
Could Omnilux LED Therapy Cause or Worsen Sculptra Lumps?
Doctor Answers 3
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that LED therapy will worsen lumps.
LED (low level light) treatments and Sculptra injections produce new collagen through totally different mechanisms. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that LED therapy will worsen lumps.
Omnilux Revive is for redness and inflammation of skin
Omnilux Revive(red light diode) is to treat red, inflamed skin. It will do nothing to treat dermal lumps caused by any collagen stimulator. Dermal lumps can sometimes be injected with steroids, sometimes excised but often are best left alone and let time do the work. I don't see Sculptra lumps now that we are diluting the product even further (8-10 cc per vial) but will often counsel patients that if they only feel a lump but don't see it, leave it alone.
Omnilux LED will have no effect on any Sculptra lumps
Omnilux LED is used in my office to reduce redness after laser procedures. It will have no effect on lumps caused by Sculptra. Sculptra lumps either have to be excised or wait the tincture of time to resolve. If they are tender or red, steroids might have a role. Lumps from Sculptra are a lot less common now due to higher dilution used, deeper injections, and avoiding injections around the eyes and lips. Also massaging by the patient for 5 days helps.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Most common reason given is that if you ran marathon distance in training you are increasing your risk of injury. 20 miles is the compromise of going far enough to simulate marathon distance (and the associated physiological changes) without increasing the risk of injury.
Also, you may want to view it as a timed rather than a distance run. If your running it at a minute or more slower than marathon pace, then your getting close to the amount of time the marathon will take Its training your body to continue running for the duration of the marathon rather than the distance.
longer and you are risking more injury and longer recovery time.......
when you have been running regulary for years you can probably go longer without damage and you should be able to recognise the signs of injuries forming and step back rather than blindly following a plan
Agree with the others. I was told that if you can do 20 - the adrenaline gets you through on race day.
Even Paula and liz in their marathon training never went above 20/22 miles.
Most beginner plans only allow a maximum of 16 weeks for training, including the taper, so only say 13 weeks to build mileage. To build safely to longer than 20 miles from a low-mileage base takes longer than that. So if you want to go further than 20 miles safely in training, you need to start further out from your marathon, give yourself longer to build up. Also, you need to run your long runs sufficiently SLOWLY, and with good enough during-run fueling (e.g. malt loaf, fig rolls, whatever) that you can recover within a day or two.
To give an example of a totally different approach: I ran my first marathon (M'cr) end of April this year. I was back to HM by October 2011 (having been building back from end of May after four months off due to injury) and running maybe 30 miles a week. I then deliberately trained for and ran a 50K in mid-February, so I spent the best part of four months upping my mileage (from a starting point of HM) while dropping out the speedwork. By mid-December I was reaching 20 miles long runs and 50 miles a week. Because I wasn't trying to do fast running (except the occasional parkrun), when I got a hamstring tendon niggle I was able to cope by just slowing down further, not stopping running (I did stop for a week when I had a bad cold). Training included a couple of runs longer than marathon distance, each with a 10-12 mile run the next day (yes, those were tiring; they're called back-to-backs and are common in ultra running training). After the 50K I actually REDUCED my mileage but added some speedwork back in before the marathon.
I found that the psychological advantage of having gone over marathon distance was huge on the day of the marathon. However, I didn't try to go over distance before my first 50-miler, in August this year!
Thanks all. Debra, lol going over distance during training for a 50 miler might be a bit extreme.
As I read your posts the penny dropped. Debra is absolutely right about the fact that most beginner plans are over a 16-18 week period and therefore it makes sense that you would not want to increase your mileage beyond 20 miles in such a short period of time.
However, what I came to realise is that I had not considered speed in the equation. When I can run 20 miles in training I guess this then opens the door to working on my speed, something I have been thinking about more and more recently.
If I do not miss any training weeks my marathon training plan actually finishes at the end of January. Since the VLM is not until April 21 I guess this actually gives me some time to try and work on improving my speed during Feb and Mar. Cool!
Be careful with "working on speed" though. Even if you've got a few 20 milers in your legs, running too many miles close to race pace still takes its toll on the body. You might still be better off keeping your race pace efforts for shorter runs.
Put it another way and it's quite simple. The difference between running full distance in training compared to race day is that on race day you can afford to completely knacker yourself out and leave every last effort out on the course. You will spend the next week walking like John Wayne, getting other people to make you cups of tea, and eating crap. In training, guess what - you've still got a marathon to train for!
PhilPub is right. Your LSRs should remain slow, except for maybe the occasional progression run when you run the later part of the run at your target marathon pace. But when you've done more LSRs, you recover faster and can do (shorter) speedwork sessions - repeats and tempo runs - during the week.
Philpub is right. I was told to just train for the first one and get used to being on my legs for that long and use the second/third/forth marathons to work on my speed work and reducing down the time.
I don't want to sound patronising but you need to learn to walk before you run - so give your body time to adjust. You've just started running seriously this year -so give yourself a break.
Makes perfect sense for beginners plans to max out at 20 miles or so.
Its a big psychological boost - "only 6 miles to go" and you do that distance after a week of running. So come the big day - fresh legs and race day adrenaline gets you through.
I think theres a case for runners with several marathons experience to up the mileage a bit though. I used to do the 20 miles max and I'd fade a bit towards the end.
Last marathon I ran a couple of 22 milers and one 30 mile ultra. All at a nice steady pace though - NOT race pace. I PB'd the marathon.
I've seen a lot of people recording great times for their long runs in training, 20 miles or so at marathon pace, but quite often - their actual race time is disappointing. So definitely slow it down.

How many Catholics have purchased the Summa Theologiaeof St. Thomas Aquinas, anxious to read through the most important work of the Church's greatest thinker, only to get mired in the text's complexities in the first few pages?
Not a few have had a similar experience with Pope John Paul II's theology of the body, his massive collection of Wednesday audiences on marriage and sexuality.
Thankfully, a gifted layman named Christopher West has made the Holy Father's teachings in this area accessible to the masses. In a dynamic tape series titled Naked Without Shame (giftfoundation.org), West, a graduate of the Pope John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage & Family, effectively combats the popular view that the Church should "stay out of the bedroom."
West, who brings this message to live audiences around the country, shows why the bedroom really needs the Church: Because sexuality has a nuptial, covenantal meaning—mirroring our relationship with God—and so sexuality, by its nature, has everything to do with Christianity. With a delivery that is to-the-point, energetic and, at times, somewhat shocking, West reveals one of John Paul II's many great gifts to the Church: his insight into how our sexuality is not something with which me may do as we please, but is infused with a profound meaning under which we must align ourselves if we are to find genuine freedom and happiness. Our sexuality carries within it a covenantal and eucharistic meaning through which we give the whole self to the other just as the Trinitarian God gives himself totally to us.
Why is the enthusiasm elicited by West's presentations accompanied by some bewilderment? Because he grasps the insight that sex must be Christianized so expertly and poignantly that, at times, he inadvertently goes one step too far—and, if I may say so, sexualizes Christianity.
Put another way, so clearly does he see how sexuality must be taken up into Christianity that he can give the impression that Christianity has been taken up into sexuality.
Fallen Foundation
There's hardly a thing in the material content of West's work that falls into this mistake and, even if there were, it would be of minor concern. Just about everyone, myself included, has at least a few rough edges in the material content of their work. Rather, West's mistake occurs in the formal content he presents—that is, in the overarching lens or perspective through which he lets his audiences see the material content. While giving his audience accurate understandings of material content ranging from the nature of the conjugal act to the meaning of celibacy, there is the lurking danger of conveying that Christianity really is all about sex. Ironically, the central insight that sex is all about Christianity then recedes into the background, as uncomfortable listeners become suspicious that Christianity is being sexualized.
For example, West shows how sexual pleasure is a foretaste of the eschaton—an appropriate suggestion and a good example of Christianizing sexuality. But this is followed with the assertion that "Heaven is the ultimate climax"—an inappropriate suggestion and an unfortunate example of sexualizing Christianity.
What's more, knowing that people will be a bit embarrassed by such imagery, he proposes that the audience's discomfort owes to our seeing sexuality through our fallenness when we should be recognizing that Christ has redeemed sexuality. Doubtless there's truth in that, but it seems more likely that the discomfort is occasioned by West's implication that sexuality is the very foundation of Christianity.
This lurking danger can be allayed by a clear reminder that the truth about sex is not at the foundation of Christian truth. It is as true and as important as other Christian truths, but is not the foundation. The "hierarchy of truths" (Decree on Ecumenism,No. 11) means that, while there are many doctrines that are essential to Christianity, not all of them are equally foundational. This is a critical distinction. At the foundation we find the Trinitarian life, dwelling in us as grace, through the Incarnation.
The sacraments, truths about Mary and the truth about sex are all equally true and equally important—but not equally foundational. West might defend himself by noting how John Paul II speaks of marriage as the primordial sacrament, but even the sacraments are not at the foundation of the hierarchy of truths.
To his credit, West now includes a letter of explanation with his tape series that addresses all the specific complaints that have been coming his way. But those complaints may in fact be manifestations of the uneasiness people feel at having sexuality placed at the foundation of the hierarchy of Christian truths. Grace, not sex, belongs there.
That grace, then, can transform our sexual lives. West shows how it really is possible to understand the way sexuality was "in the beginning," and we can transcend, with the help of Christ, our fallen nature. Then we can see sexuality in its original integrity. With grace, this vision really can be lived. We can avoid disordered uses of our sexuality. An important distinction, however, is in order.
The Body Sacramental
It is one thing to be faithful to absolute moral norms: Avoid fornication, auto-eroticism, the entertainment of impure thoughts, contraception and so on. It is another thing, above and beyond avoiding intrinsically disordered acts, to have a full experience of integral sexuality, infused with Trinitarian bliss. We should all be on that trajectory, and those of us with families must guide our children onto it. But a certain realism is essential so as to avoid a crushing disillusionment or anxious scrupulosity. Mary Beth Bonacci, writing in Envoy magazine, confesses that, even working for years in an apostolate dedicated to promoting chastity, she failed to recognize the sheer fierceness of concupiscence. "In fighting sexual temptation, we're often facing demons we can't even begin to understand," she writes. "And even for the healthiest of people, commencing sexual activity apparently trips something inside which is very, very difficult to shut back off."
Many of West's listeners may very well be able to see and appreciate the sacramental meaning of the body, but, due to the damage wrought to the "raw material" of their sexuality, the capacity to fully experience that meaning may be beyond reach.
Take, for instance, the person abused as a child whose damaged psyche spreads to her sexuality. She may have come to terms with this privation, and would prefer to live with it. Likewise the person of homosexual orientation who lives chastely, and would prefer not to seek reparative therapy: He can appreciate the sacramental meaning of the body, and simultaneously put it on the back burner for himself, aware that it's not the center of Christian life.
It is well and good to aim at infusing our sexuality with the fullness of Christian grace. But, this side of the eschaton, many people's damaged raw material—psychological as well as physical—sadly stays put.
The foundation of the faith—the Trinitarian life, grace infused ever more into our being—is something they can have fully, and is in fact something that can grow ever more strong right in the midst of the struggle with our damaged raw materials. Married couples who struggle with disorders may also take comfort in the fact that John Paul II's understanding of the "matter" of the sacrament of matrimony is the entire person of the spouses—not just the conjugal act.
With these caveats in mind, I guarantee that many people will find that Christopher West's series provides just the jump-start needed to get their sexual lives in order. West's highly readable book Good News About Sex and Marriage(Charis/Servant) is also recommended, and we hope that his forthcoming book from Pauline Press, interpreting each of the Pope's Wednesday audiences on the body, keeps the theology of the body rightly ordered within the hierarchy of truths.
As George Weigel has noted, the Pope's insights are like a "theological time bomb set to go off, with dramatic consequences, sometime in the third millennium." Don't be afraid to let the Holy Father's theology of the body go off in your own life right now.

Usage Guide for Semantic Pingback in ODS
What is Semantic Pingback?
Semantic Pingback is a mechanism through which data space owners receive notification, in the form of triple statements, when external sources (typically other data spaces) make references to their data spaces. This mechanism is basically an adaptation of the blog pingback, with payloads now taking the form of RDF-based structured data resources.
For instance, the owner of DataSpaceA might assert that they know the owner of DataSpaceB via a local
foaf:knows assertion --
{ DataSpaceA:owner foaf:knows DataSpaceB:owner }
Depending on data space settings, the owner of DataSpaceB might then receive an email notice of the
foaf:knows assertion, or DataSpaceA might use the notification to automatically generate a local reciprocal assertion.
{ DataSpaceB:owner foaf:knows DataSpaceA:owner }
The Semantic Pingback functionality in ODS supports operation in both client and server modes.
Semantic Pingback Endpoints in ODS
| parameters '
source' and '
target' (strings) as explained in the specification
http://<cname>[:<port>]/semping/rest?source=<source uri>&target=<target uri>
| parameters are as with XML-RPC, but payloads are delivered using HTTP
POST or
GET operations.
Semantic Pingback Setup in ODS
This scenario assumes two ODS instances, where one is the Ping Receiver and the other is the Ping Sender.
Configuring the Ping Receiver
- The ODS data space owner designates data space applications for which ping notification will be enabled through the Application Settings menu Semantic Pingback Setup option.
- The data space owner must choose what will happen upon ping notification: email; automatic generation of reciprocal data (i.e., triple-based data generation); or both:
Actions to take on the Ping Sender
- Go to a ping-enabled ODS data space application. For example, the Profile Manager and Editor includes an Annotations tab, which offers a UI for making arbitrary assertions about anything with triples-based statements.
- Make a simple Annotation claiming to know the owner of the Ping Receiver instance configured above, with a
foaf:knowsrelation targeting the WebID of the Ping Receiver instance owner.
- Tick the Issue Semantic Pingback checkbox.
- Click the Add button to complete the pingback enabled annotation.
Actions to take on the Ping Receiver
- Go to your ODS Profile Page, or simply load your WebID into the Address Bar of any HTTP compliant browser.
- Observe the addition of the new
foaf:knowsrelation posted by the Ping Sender.
- If the email option was enabled, you will also receive an email indicating that you are the "Object" of a
foaf:knowsrelation asserted by the Ping Sender.
Security of Ping Notifications
The access control feature of Virtuoso (your ODS host environment) may be used to add an ACL named 'SemanticPingback' via the Conductor admin interface.
A variety of controls may be set there, as depicted below:

Most people know that presidential election are fixed, like horse race with a drugged horse. Been that way for years not just with president Obama!
I should say since voting machines. Before then, it was just doing crazy things, like taking mental handicap people to the pol and helping then vote for their candidate with a promise of ice cream.
Another was hiding ballot boxes but none of that compare to the computerized voting, which can be changed so easily, and calling the race before the voting starts, they read voters minds before they vote.
You have to agree that is one super trick. Of course knowing the secret vote of the Electoral College is amazing, they aren't suppose to be seen until they are open in congress next year.
So we straight now! :)

st: RE: find-replace in stata
Wed, 22 Aug 2007 19:07:07 +0100
In Stata I would suggest -- subject to the advice at the end --
replace company_name = subinstr(company_name, "ltd.", "ltd", .)
This is literal. You might need also
replace company_name = subinstr(company_name, "Ltd.", "Ltd", .)
and perhaps other variants.
This finds and replaces the substring specified whereever it exists. More
paranoid code would do this
replace company_name = reverse(subinstr(reverse(company_name), ".dtl", "dtl", 1))
and so forth to be sure of trapping only the first such string counting backwards.
See also help for -subinstr()- and more generally for string functions.
However, don't -replace- your variable at all. Use -clonevar- to
create a clone, modify that, and then check to see what you
have done.

With voluntary workouts underway, the Dolphins announced they are bringing back two members of last year's team.
On Tuesday, defensive lineman Phillip Merling and offensive tackle Lydon Murtha signed their restrictive free agent tenders.
Merling, who is entering his fifth season, all with the Dolphins, will look to compete for playing time on the defensive line. The Dolphins selected Merling the with the 32nd overall selection, the first pick in the second round 0f the 2008 draft. During his four-year career, he has made five starts, recording 3.5 sacks and one interception.
The Dolphins also re-signed Murtha, who missed a portion of last season with a toe injury. Prior to the injury, Murtha had been solid in relief of both Jake Long and Marc Colombo. The former seventh-round pick of the Detroit Lions could compete for the starting right tackle spot in 2012.
In an effort to add to the team's retooled defense, the team hosted free agent visits with linebackers Jonathan Goff, Quentin Groves, Bryan Kehl and Gary Guyton.
Goff, a four-year player who was previously with the Giants, is coming off an ACL injury that caused him to miss the entire 2011 season. Before the injury, however, Goff started all 16 games for New York in 2010, recording 80 tackles and a sack.
Groves, a former second-round pick out of Auburn, spent the last two seasons with the Oakland Raiders after two years in Jacksonville. Last year, Groves made 24 tackles for Oakland.

Martha Slams, WWF Looks Nice in Day One Dave Marino-Nachison (TMF Braden)
October 19, 1999
Investors jumped at the chance to get their hands on two of the late 20th century's crossover media and merchandising titans, as shares of World Wrestling Federation Entertainment (Nasdaq: WWFE) and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (NYSE: MSO) leapt in their first day of trading today.
Although there are about as many brilliant, insightful, and humorous ways to compare the two companies for maximum editorial effect -- and trust us, we thought of them all -- as there are ways "Stone Cold" Steve Austin could subdue Martha Stewart, this column has limited space, so we'll distill them down to one: taste (the total lack of it on one hand, and a distinctive middle-American slice of it on the other).
Put another way, we've got two companies who have their ears pressed closely to the chests of their customers (literally on one hand, and figuratively on the other), paying close mind to the beat of the consumer pulse.
If not for that, could founder, Chairman, and CEO Martha Stewart have been able to parlay her whitebread domestic act into two monthly magazines with an estimated 10 million monthly readers; a top domestic arts television program; a book publishing empire with more than 8.5 million copies sold; a syndicated radio program and newspaper column; and a retail sales operation that plies the Internet, catalogs, department and specialty stores and Kmart (NYSE: KM) to the tune of more than $763 million in 1998 branded merchandise sales?
Or could creative honcho and Chairman Vince McMahon have taken what once seemed a shameful 1980s fad that OBVIOUSLY wasn't a real sport and turned it into a multimedia powerhouse with hundreds of live stadium events worldwide, hour upon hour of television programming -- Raw is War, according to the company, was the top-rated regularly scheduled cable television program for 19 straight weeks through June 30 -- copious pay-per-view productions, two monthly magazines, and a retail and licensing machine that has literally thousands of products on sale worldwide bearing the WWF moniker?
Those, folks, were rhetorical questions.
Now McMahon sits in regal fashion at the head of a company that in three years has boosted revenues 45% on a compounded basis, demonstrating increasing profitability. It lost money in 1997 but had operating margins of 23% for the fiscal year ended April 30. At the same time, the company was looking at a balance sheet with $48 million in cash and cash equivalents pitted against $13 million in long-term debt. The company held the same amount of stadium events as it did in 1997, but attendance, Raw is War average weekly ratings, and pay-per-view ratings all more than doubled over that period.
As for Martha Stewart, she presides over a sprawling business empire with credibility and authority that constantly seeks out new lines of business and new ways to widen its web. Over the past three calendar years, the company has grown revenues 34%, operating profits 42% (despite outsized gains in production, general, and administrative costs as growth into new media outlets has accelerated), net margins 36%, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) 45%.
These weren't just businesses Wall Street wanted to see go public, they were franchises people wanted to see go public. For proof, just click on Fool Brian Bauer's June contribution to our "Companies Fools Wish Were Public" feature.
With that, strong recent performance and the continued vision and insight of their respective leaders, more success seems likely for these two companies. Given their impressive reach into the American consciousness, it may be impossible not to stay tuned.

From The Artists Studio
Rockaway Artists Alliance
Local Filmmaker Chosen For Tulsa Festival
No Rooms Lobby is a film by Robert Sarnoff, editorial cartoonist for The Wave newspaper that was shot almost exclusively in the 116th Street area — on the street and in one of its SRO's. Sarnoff's first film, it is now an official selection of the Bare Bones Independent Film Festival to be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma from October 13 to October 16. So intriguing was the movie's back-story that the director has also been asked to be a guest speaker at the festival. He describes the film as "a poignant, tender portrait of a modern-day Ulysses, living on the fringe." Referred to by Sarnoff as "a culmination of a lifetime devoted to the arts," No Rooms Lobby, made for $500, just under 20 minutes long and filmed on a digital video camera, weaves together creative, thematic and professional threads that have run through the director's life. Ironically, it stars a man from Rockaway who is well acquainted with the subject and theme of the movie as well as its controversies.
Robert Sarnoff is fascinated by the human condition – its comedy and its tragedy. In all aspects of his creative life, he attempts to peel back the many layers of our (individual) lives and souls. "There are hidden layers to all of us. Buried treasures, dark secrets," says Sarnoff. Sarnoff is an exhibiting artist and a published author and playwright whose works have been performed on Theatre Row, in The Village and in Chelsea. His teleplays have been optioned for television. He has directed his own stage plays and was lead actor in a NOVA award-winning movie. In 1994 he was art educator of the year. Sarnoff was the director of an arts program at a shelter for homeless men in which he taught various media that included video. He came to know these men and their histories. Sarnoff is intrigued by the stories of people living on the fringe. For several years he has been working on a stage play, "Men of Substance," which covers this same ground. "There is something wrong in this country," he states. He sees what he describes as "an epidemic." People, he says further, don't want to see the homeless or the marginal, perhaps because they are afraid that this could potentially happen to them. So they are rendered invisible and are mistrusted, as is the main character in No Rooms Lobby. But Katrina and the T.V. cameras awakened us all to the conditions under which those on the edges live. Sarnoff made this film in order to tell their stories. Without fanfare or sentimentality, he has peeled back the layers of the life of an invisible man so the audience sees a human being of dignity and determination. And he cleverly hints at hidden parts of his life the audience is teased to guess at.
How close "the fringe" can be is a common theme in Sarnoff's work. In the three paintings he has entered in ARTSPLASH 2005, which are titled collectively, Family Album, the artist has distorted one feature on the face of the characters pictured, making them grotesque. "There is a fine line between beautiful and not beautiful, or what is considered beautiful," states the artist. There but for the grace of God…" He quotes, "One paycheck away." In the same way, the marginal people Sarnoff has encountered may not be so far away from the edge, on one side or the other. No Rooms Lobby draws its sensibilities and story from the stories of the homeless men of the shelter, from a lifetime of observing his fellow human beings and from the realities its director discovered during filming.
Sarnoff's original idea for particulars of the film's plot and for a bland main character changed when he met the man whom he eventually cast in the lead, John Baxter. But the concept of an invisible, faceless man who works hard for little money, in order to come home to his one room castle – his refuge — remained the same. Baxter, as most readers of this newspaper know, is the owner of an SRO on 116th Street. That SRO, the subject of a recent New York Times article about the pressure to tear it down, is in Sarnoff's words, one of the stars of the film. It is where the majority of the movie was shot. The building and its environs lend grit and authenticity to the story. Sarnoff believed that Baxter understood the character of Charlie and identified with him, since he had lived in an SRO when he first came to this country as an immigrant from Ireland. Indeed, Baxter told Sarnoff that his SRO provides a clean, decent place for people to live who can't afford more. Political debate aside, Baxter is, in fact very good in the film. He appears to "be" the character rather than "acting" him.
After John Baxter was cast, the film, says Sarnoff, took on a life of its own. It evolved organically from the original screenplay. Though there was still a formal script, the director was smart and open enough to allow the experiences of his lead and the physical setting to change and shape that script. His cast included the inhabitants of the SRO and the streets. John Trainor was a resident of the SRO whom Sarnoff heard one day being "poetically belligerent" and cast him prominently in the film. He kept his camera running as scenes were improvised and actors made mistakes that were more "genuine" than the original. The director believes he "learned a lot by just listening and watching." He also credits his editor, Nick Barbieri, with doing a fantastic job of capturing moments that lent a stark reality to the film – for example, the poignantly, unstaged sequence of a ragged homeless man playing his keyboard on the street.
One year after No Rooms Lobby was shot, John Trainor has died violently and another member of the cast is dead; John Baxter is fighting to keep his building from being demolished; thousands in our South desperately struggle to put back the pieces of their existence. And Robert Sarnoff's first film, weaving together the elements of lost and found lives, is part of a festival in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Does art imitate life, or does life just keep raising the bar for art? Robert Sarnoff may be emailed at: firstname.lastname@example.com and is available for interviews through The Wave. Reminder: ARTSPLASH 2005 opening reception is Sunday, September 25, 1-3 p.m. in sTudio 6 and 7, Fort Tilden.

Yes, I think they went with liquid cooedl in the newer V-Rod's.<quoted text>
I noticed one (or more models) came out with water cooling recently. The norms in my area are 95-110 in the summer. I've heard lots of people complain about overheating. It may be an older model thing too. That's interesting about the cylinder going dead to stay cool.
They came out with the cylinder deactivation last year with the 103 cc engines.

|Home > Your Say
|Tuesday February 24, 2004
This topic is now closed - this is what you said.
Im siding with Timmy A and VJ on this one.
Some very cruel people here.
Goodness me
I'd like to point out that many posts today contain valid arguments that are clearly based on personal experience. I, too, have a grandfather (in his 90s) who is in a home because he can't walk, he's nearly blind, and he's almost deaf. His heart's still strong though, and although he sleeps most of the day, there are still times when his sense of humour shines through.
Captain Fantastic
Kate the point is transferring responsibility to the state (ie that tax us for it we are entitled to use it) automatically means a deterioration of choice and that is not good.
Col rouge
VH, yes I did read your post and am aware you meant putting parents in a home IF YOU CANT POSSIBLY look after them yourself. If you'd read my post, you would know I was talking about doing it IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT.
Timmy A
VL my point is - what if I don't want to look after my family? What if I can't stand the sight of them? What if I piss off and never contact them again? Who looks after them then? Do you then say something really dumb like "gee, if you'd brought her up better she wouldn't have done it, therefore you deserve to be old and deserted."? That's just nonsense. In countries where your oh-so-fab extended families have been common, old people are being deserted in droves by young people who are either making a lot more money in the cities or needing to leave the country to make money. The nuclear family wasn't a 'western' invention - it's what happens when an economy is going well and people obtain money. You might call it selfish - but are you going to throw old people out in the streets because of it?
My dad often says that he is looking forward to sitting around in his own pooh and getting me to clean it up. He calls it pay back. I call it being left in a chair at the bottom of the garden until I'm good and ready..
Malcom, define "take care of themselves". Having trouble? Well, that's why your belief is a bad one. After all, Stephen Hawking can't take care of himself. Are you suggesting he should be euthanised?
Single Mother
Captain Fantastic, slightly crude but basically spot on. What a magnificent life we lead: two jobs to pay the mortgage, casual and contract jobs (10 years experience), five figure HECS debts just to get work ...

The Leadership Education for Advancement and Promotion (LEAP) Program invites all faculty to join a discussion with the Faculty Ombuds, Lee Potts and Emily Calhoun, on the topic of how to use your power wisely in workplace conflicts. When professional relationships involve either formal or informal power differences, dealing with disagreements can be an especially complex process. This workshop will help faculty of all types respond constructively to challenging disputes. Join us on Wednesday, Nov. 7, 12:30 -2 p.m., in Regent 302. Please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The workshop is structured to promote an open discussion of three topics relevant to power dynamics within conflict situations. We will first identify sources of power in the academic workplace. Next we will explore how faculty holding formal power (chairpersons, program directors, committee chairs, and senior faculty) can engage with conflicts in ways that improve interpersonal relations and thereby enhance workplace climate. Then we will explore how faculty in vulnerable positions (junior or untenured faculty, instructors, PRAs, and members of protected classes) can more fully enjoy the benefits of an academic career by learning how to stand up for themselves in an effective fashion. As we explore these three topics, we will also identify misuses of power, such as inappropriate aggressive behaviors.

Remembering Freudians and Cannibals
The Cairo-born French Jewish ethnopsychiatrist Tobie Nathan previously published a novel, "Who Killed Arlozoroff?" about the 1933 murder of left-wing Israeli political leader Haim Arlosoroff, as well as a book-length essay last year criticizing Sigmund Freud's 1899 "Interpretation of Dreams."
Now the ever-iconoclastic Nathan, born in 1948, has written his memoirs "Ethno-Novel," to explain how he got that way. His narrative begins with the 1956 expulsion of Egypt's Jews following the Suez Crisis by President Nasser, amid murderous anti-Semitic persecution. Before that, whenever his family celebrated Passover, Nathan was puzzled by the ceremony which thanked God for delivering the Jews safely from Egypt, since his family still lived there. After they moved to a humble northern Paris suburb, young Nathan found a country still "settling scores" over the Nazi Occupation where a different form of anti-Semitism reigned. In school, after Nathan announced that his family would be celebrating Passover by reading the Haggadah, he was mocked by a teacher and counseled by a school-friend, "Shut up! This is France. If you're Jewish, you hide it."
At about age 15 Nathan wrote a novel and submitted it to a local author, the Polish Jewish novelist and concentration camp survivor Anna Langfus (1920-1966). Winner of France's Goncourt Prize for a 1962 Holocaust-themed novel which was translated as "The Lost Shore," Langfus, whose heartrending novels deserve reprinting, encouraged Nathan, but died of a heart attack not long after. Nathan soon happened upon Freud's writings, which he terms the perfect "reading for adolescents [since]… we were obsessed with sex, and Freud too!" Although he recalls studying Freud "with the same fervor that our ancestors studied the Talmud," he was never tempted to become a strict Freudian, instead studying in college with George Devereux (born György Dobó to a Jewish family from the Banat region of Central Europe), a founding father of ethnopsychiatry.
Dream a Little Dream of Tobie Nathan
The Cairo-born French Jewish ethnopsychiatrist Tobie Nathan author of a 2010 novel, "Who Killed Arlozoroff?" from Les Éditions Grasset about the 1933 murder of left-wing Israeli political leader Haim Arlosoroff, has also focused on psychiatry's ultimate father figure, Sigmund Freud.
In a 2006 novel from Les Éditions Perrin, "My Patient Sigmund Freud, Nathan offers a psychoanalysis of Freud by Isaac Rabinovitch, a fictitious Viennese medical student. Earlier this year Nathan's turned the tables on Papa Siggy again when Les éditions Odile Jacob published his book-length essay "New Interpretation of Dreams."
Who Killed Haim Arlozoroff?
The Cairo-born French Jewish ethnopsychiatrist Tobie Nathan is a man of many talents. A prolific novelist as well as teacher, Nathan recently published "My Patient, Sigmund Freud" with Les Éditions Perrin.
Nathan's new novel, "Who Killed Arlozoroff?" from Les Éditions Grasset reveals other fields of knowledge. It starts with a French journalist with Egyptian Jewish roots entering a Tel Aviv bar and ordering a mitz gezer. A self-appointed critic standing next to him, guzzling Arak, slates his choice of beverage, a plausible sequence of events to anyone familiar with Tel Aviv.
Nathan indubitably is familiar with the city, since he just spent five years stationed there as French cultural counselor, although last September he was transferred to the French Embassy at Conakry, Guinea. Plausible details are essential to his fluently adventurous narrative.
Thank you!

Hey there gang...I am soo frustrated right now...I am knitting the back of my sweater (well, its for my daughter) and I was doing the raglan decrease The instructions readrow 1:knit across row until 4 stitches remain K2tbl, K2row 2:purl across row until 4 stitiches remain P2tog,P2repeat rows 1 and 2 for 17 times total, there are 19 stitches on the needle, end having just worked row 2,slip stitches to holder for neck.SOOO I did all this and I have 24 stitches left!!!!!!!!!do I have to take it all out?? Any idea what my mistake may be??I carefully counted my rowsany idea how to fix???Should I keep doing the decrease till I have 19??help....help....on the plus side it looks real nice Chris
Hi Chris!
First, just to double check that fudging is necessary: Have you counted your rows carefully? You're sure you worked all 34 rows? And the decrease lines look good to your eye? Then don't unravel it....try this....
Unravel 4 rows, and do a decrease on both ends of the needle, on both sides of the work, for these four rows. This will give you 20 stitches in the end (close enough), and you'll have the same 34 rows, which you want, so it lines up properly with the front and with the sleeves.
I've done a little experimenting on a small sample, and here's what I think looks best. These extra decreases look almost invisible, so they won't interfere with the nice pattern of your decrease. I bet you'll hardly notice the difference. You can certainly try it anyway!
Row 1: k2, ssk, knit until there are 4 sts., and k2tog tbl (as usual), k2Row 2: p2, p2tog, purl until there are 4 sts., and p2tog (as usual), p2.Row 3: repeat row 1Row 4: repeat row 2.
The ssk decrease is on the decrease page.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes!Amy
Hi Amy....I counted the rows pretty carefully.....how do I count them again??I am VERY grateful for the idea.....I will do your decrease tonight...The decreases actually look real nice, I like the way they came out...THANK YOU for all your help and this magnificent web site!!!!Chris
Actually, I have a correction. I've edited the post above to reflect it. On the purl-side, use p2tog for the decreases on both ends.
But definitely count your rows first, to make sure this is necessary. Look for the first place where two stitches overlap, on the left side of the knit-side of the work. The sitch (or "V") above those first two overlapping stitches represents row #1. Follow the stitches on that row to the middle, to avoid the decreases, and continue counting up from there, and count all the way up, including the stitch on your needle. That's how many rows you've completed. To count your decreases, you can look for those rather obvious diagonal lines that pop out a little bit, where the two stitches overlap with the decreases you've used. You should have 17 of these lines on each side, at regularly spaced intervals, if you've done a decrease on all 34 rows. It sounds like you've definitely missed at least one. No big deal, if it's not obvious to your eye.
Also, I should note that if you use the quick fix I've mentioned, it will change the angle of your decrease line for those rows. Your decreases are all lined up in a perfect straight line. These will cut in at a sharper angle. But since it's at the very top, and near the neck, I suspect you'll hardly notice it, and if you do, it should be okay looking because of the location.
Amy I am writing this very sheepishly... :oops: I just got off the phone with my mom (aka knitting teacher) and she informed me that we had decided to go up a size on the sweater, ie make a 6 not a 4 and THAT is why my decrease is off....I should have done 19!!! rows!!! DUHHHHHHHH!!!Anyway this will put me EXACTLY where I should be....I am glad for the help, and sorry if I wasted too much of your time!!such is the life of a newbie!!!!Thanks and apologiesChris
Think nothing of it! It was an informative exercise. I realize I should include p2tog in the decrease sampler on the decrease page, since it's so basic and useful! ...I won't add it right away, since I just redid that sampler! But it's good to know!
I'm glad your sweater has worked out! Amy

Re: Re: st: estimating expenditure quartiles for subgroups of survey dat
Sat, 14 Jun 2008 07:08:09 -0400 (EDT)
Thanks, Steve, for some valuable suggestions.
Reflecting on this, it occurs to me that I could use gammafit to test the
location (and shape) parameters of the subpops' expenditures -- the gamma
appears to describe the distribution for people with expenditure -- and a
logit to test the probability of use.
I also dug back into the archives and came across a posting by Nick Cox
(distribution fitting curiosity, December 2006) that gets to the same end
by a different route.
Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2008 10:36:00 -0400
From: Steven Samuels <email@example.com>
Subject: Re: st: estimating expenditure quartiles for subgroups of survey
I assume that you used -pctile- to compute your weighted quartiles.
I would not recommend hypothesis tests for percentiles of descriptive
survey data with clustering and weights, even if I knew what tests to
use (I don't). The distributions, including percentiles, of several
finite populations will never be identical, and null hypotheses of
equality are false a priori. (The exception is hypotheses about
superpopulations.) Your question appears to be: how different are
the expenditure distributions in the subpopulations? If so, I think
that confidence intervals are a better approach. Download Roger
Newson's -somsersd- package from SSC. It contains -cendif-, which
will find confidence intervals for pairwise differences in
percentiles and will accept probability weights and clusters.
Confining yourself to a small set of quantiles could mislead. If
sample size permits, enlarge the set of percentiles that you feed to -
pctile- and -cendif-. You might also check weighted histograms for
multiple modes and other anomalies.
