Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)
As one of the most romantic of horoscope signs, your Libra will want their proposal to be special and beautiful. Flowers, music and an unforgettable setting will set the mood. Libra may write you a song or poem to communicate their love for you, or enlist the help of friends to get the message across. You can also be assured that there will be a sweet story behind the ring they have picked for you.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)
Private and intense, Scorpio will only propose to you when you are alone or in front of people you both know and trust. For this watery sign, love is a life or death matter, so they will only ask you to marry them when they really mean it. Expect a proposal that is deeply emotional and honest, since you can count on Scorpio to get right to the heart of the matter without hesitation or superficiality.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)
Blunt Sag may not plan the proposal ahead of time, but rather get caught up in the heat of the moment and just say what they're thinking. Though you may not get flowery words and a romantic backdrop from this straightforward horoscope sign, when they do pop the question, you will know exactly what's on their mind and in their heart. Bonus: this adventurous, globe-trotting sign will probably take you to the far reaches of the globe to celebrate your new life together, honeymoon-style!
Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)
Cautious and thoughtful, Capricorn may propose in an almost businesslike way. They will only say it when they really mean it, so be patient if it seems to take a while. Try not to be hurt if they have a pre-nup already prepared, they just want you to know they're serious. You can expect the ring they offer to be of top quality -- they want to demonstrate their commitment and regard for you.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
Unconventional Aquarius may let it be known to you that they want you to propose, hoping to turn expectations upside down. In any case, this quirky sign likes to break the rules of convention, so don't expect a traditional proposal. If they do decide to let their intentions be known, expect a few surprises, as Aquarians like to do things their own way.
Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20)
Intuitive and sensitive, Pisces will use their considerable imagination to come up with a proposal that is both dreamy and otherworldly. Expect creativity and a touch of magic as the sign of the Fish asks for your hand in marriage. Though they may get confused about some of the details, leaving the ring at home or confusing the timing of events, you will always know that their heart is in the right place.

Insurers pay in year of disasters
Page Tools
It has been the costliest year of natural disasters on record for the global insurance industry, with losses of about $52 billion even before tsunamis swept across Asia, killing tens of thousands and causing billions of dollars of damage.
In contrast, Australia's leading insurers have posted record profits as low claims, competitive pricing and strong investment returns boosted returns and transformed a stockmarket laggard into a leader.
Growing confidence yesterday that the sector would not face a surge in claims from the Asian catastrophe caused share prices to rebound from losses suffered on Wednesday when the market reopened. QBE Insurance, the biggest underwriter at Lloyd's of London, ended up 21¢ at $15.12. Australia's largest general insurer, IAG, was up 3¢ at $6.32, and Promina closed 5¢ higher at $5.33.
It is a different story for global reinsurers, the companies that accept the ultimate risk by covering insurers. They paid out claims about 250 per cent higher than the previous record as cyclones in the US, the Caribbean and Japan generated insured losses exceeding $45 billion.
The authoritative Lloyd's List produced by the Lloyd's of London reinsurance market has been quoting preliminary damage estimates of about $13 billion for the Asian crisis, with accurate analysis likely to take months.
Munich Re, one of the world's biggest reinsurers, said economic losses flowing from the natural disasters before this week's tsunamis totalled about $168 billion, nearly double the average of the past 10 years.
The year's total of about 650 natural disasters causing loss was in line with that of previous years but the scale of damage increased dramatically, partly as a result of changing weather caused by global warming.
Gerhard Berez, who has analysed the impact of natural hazards on the insurance industry for Munich Re, said: "We are at the beginning of a global process of climate change which will develop into a serious danger for future generations if we do not adopt radical measures soon at political, social and economic levels. The insurance industry can supply vital arguments and incentives."
For example, a hurricane off the Brazilian coast at the end of March that caused severe damage to buildings was the first ever recorded there. The region was previously classified as hurricane-free because water temperatures there were too low.
The year's most costly disasters - hurricanes Charley, Frances, Jeanne and Ivan - tore across the US causing damage of about $73 billion and insurance claims of $35 billion.

st: Survey - raking - calibration - post stratification - calculating weights
Sat, 6 Dec 2008 11:32:08 +0100
Hello all
I have a question regarding how to weight a data set.
The data is from a population based cross sectional study.
5000 randomly selected men reflecting the backgound population were mailed a
75% responsrate. 3750 questionnaires filled out. We know the age and the zip
code for non-responders.
The questionnaire contained several sociodemographic parameters s1, s2,
..... Sn
Then 1845 men from the group that had filled out a questionnaire were
invited to take part in a scientific project. The men were randomly selected
with an equal number in each age group (15 age groups of one year
intervals). So 123 men in each group.
946 men accepted a telephone call. 768 men never responded and 131 refused
to be interwied on telephone.
864 men of the 946 were then randomly contacted with equal numbers in each
age group and 697 men agreed to take part in the project. 97 men later
cancelled or never showed up.
So 600 men were included for further studies.
Now I would like to weight these 600 men so they reflect the background
population in order to estimate the distribution of different measures in
the background population (X1, X2, .... Xi) based on measures amongst the
600 men (Y1, Y2, ..... Yi).
How do I do this?
As far as I can tell I need to compensate for the differences between the
5000 and the 3750 and between the 3750 and the 600. Since the 1845 were
randomly selected and an equal number in each age group were contacted I
assume that all men had an equal probability of being included so design
weights are not really needed. Right?
But how do I compute a pweight that takes the two steps into account?
I have looked a bit a the SURVWGT command in stata but I don't understand
Could someone help me with some examples.

Temepara Bailey returns to play for the Mystics in tonight's bottom-of-the-table ANZ championship netball match against the Tactix.
The franchise's former captain and Silver Fern veteran will step out of retirement with the squad suffering injury problems in the mid-court.
The 38-year-old, who in 89 tests won both Commonwealth and world championship titles, farewelled netball at the end of the 2012 season. She has since presented and commentated for Sky Television.
Bailey is already a mentor to the team and occasionally trains with them.
In 2013 the Mystics finished last in Bailey's absence, having been exposed in the mid-court. The franchise were subsequently accused of poor succession planning.
Coach Debbie Fuller says she approached Bailey after Erikana Pedersen was ruled out of tonight's game with a knee injury. Fellow wing attacks Nadia Loveday and Eisapeta Toeava are also managing niggles and Bailey Mes, who is confined to limited court-time after returning from knee surgery, is already enlisted as shooting back-up.
Fuller looked at younger players to strengthen the mid-court, but injury and lack of top-level experience ruled them out.
"We are in the middle of the season and there's no opportunity to develop players," Fuller said.
"My job as coach is to field the most competitive team available."
Fuller claims Bailey is in great physical condition and knows how to perform under intense pressure.
Her future role will be a "week-by-week decision" but Fuller knows Bailey's speed, timing and vision have always been revered. Her services to the sport were acknowledged as a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2012.
Bailey has always said she wanted to stick with the game in some capacity, although a return to top-level netball was not considered until Fuller called. "It might only be for one or two weeks, but I want to ensure I add value," she said.
The Mystics sit ninth on the table with four points. The Tactix are last with two points.

Sales slide, but industry confident
June 4, 2001,
WASHINGTON — Housing, until now the only economic sector showing any kind of strength, showed some signs of weakness in the most recently released figures on the industry's three major indicators.
Housing starts, the figure that shows what home builders believe the future will look like, increased 1.5 percent to 1,609,000 units on the same basis, the Commerce Department said.
Those inside the housing industry aren't ready to call for rescue yet, however. Both NAR and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) are quite pleased with the state of their industry, even with the monthly figures indicating a slowing of growth.
NAR said resales remain "exceptionally strong." The association's chief economist, David Lereah, said, "Existing home sales are coming off of the second highest month on record (March, when resales hit 5,430,000 units on a seasonally adjusted annualized basis) and remain above forecast levels. The recent surge of activity results partly from a bottoming out of mortgage interest rates during the first quarter."
Regarding new home sales, Bruce Smith, NAHB's president, said, "An 894,000-unit rate is still quite healthy on an historic basis and is actually higher than the average sales rate for any of the past three years. Low interest rates on long-term mortgages, which NAHB projects will remain in the low 7 percent range throughout this year, are helping keep buyer demand firm."
The increase in starts, Smith said, "confirms that housing remains a relatively resilient part of the economy even as signs of weakness continue to emerge elsewhere. Rising home prices in the midst of ongoing problems in the stock market have buoyed the investment demand for houses."
The analysts agree with the two industry associations, but there are reasons for the housing sector to be cautious about the road ahead. Stan Shepley and Mary Dennis, both senior economists with Merrill Lynch, noted that mortgage rates have begun to rise recently, which "has led to a modest decline in mortgage applications for home purchases. In addition, the weakening job market may be taking a toll. Home sales are likely to ease further, but remain strong by any historic standard."
The drop in new home sales, said Mark Vitner, vp and economist of First Union Economics Group, may indicate "that the highs for the year have already been seen." Observing that other key indicators (consumer confidence, non-farm employment, industrial output and retail sales) have been soft recently, Vitner added, "April's drop in new home sales may mark a bit of a catch-up. While home sales are likely to remain strong, they are unlikely to get stronger."
Regarding starts, Dick Rippe, analyst with Prudential Securities, said the April number beat analysts' expectations (the market had expected a 0.8 percent drop in starts). "The bottom line on housing is that activity remains favorable, reflecting good mortgage rates and the affordability they allow, and shows that consumers are confident enough to make large purchases, even though confidence [overall] is down."

This may be a clue that Molotov is being pushed into the background, since he read the new five-year plan at each of the two previous congress meetings, in 1934 and 1939. Molotov is 62 and his age has been considered a factor against him in speculation on Stalin's suc- cessor. Adlai Invited To Sleepy Eye SLEEPY EYE, Minn.

Legislature produced mixed results, GOP chairman tells tea partiers
Glenn Evans
Aug. 1, 2011 at 10 p.m.
A Texas Legislature that featured a super-majority of Republicans produced mixed results from a conservative standpoint, the Gregg County GOP chairman told some 120 local tea party members Monday evening.
Chairman Keith Rothra had nothing but praise for Longview's freshman legislator, Republican David Simpson, for whom the audience broke into applause four times. Rothra was not pleased with other Northeast Texans in Austin for the 82nd Legislature and special session that ended June 29.
He wasn't thrilled with Gov. Rick Perry, either.
"Are you ready for that guy to be president?" Rothra asked, referring to Perry's likely run for the nation's highest office.
Citing tea party dominance of November's state elections, Rothra noted four assignments the voters issued the 82nd Legislature: balance the state budget; refrain from raising taxes; create no new fees; and cut the size of government.
"Overall (on the budget), I would give them a B-plus," Rothra said, noting a budget that balanced once $15 billion in cuts were identified. Rothra said education cuts should have focused more on highly paid administrators, but added the Austin lawmakers did not want to encroach on local salary decisions.
"I can understand that," he said. "Remember this when you go to your school board elections."
Lawmakers did not raise taxes in producing the two-year spending plan.
"Hey, give them an A," Rothra said. "Give them an A-plus on that one."
Lawmakers held the line on new fees as well, he said.
For the most part, he continued, they kept government small.
Voter ID, frustrated two years ago by Republican Speaker Joe Straus became law this session despite his re-election to lead the House. Voters must present one of several designated forms of photo ID to cast ballots under the new law.
"I do not give Speaker Straus very much of a good grade," Rothra said. "But, we have a photo ID bill now."
And while Simpson, and fellow tea party Republican Bryan Hughes of Mineola, earned high marks from Rothra, GOP Rep. Chuck Hopson of Jacksonville fared less well.
"We need to make sure there's a responsible person who's going to come forward who can speak tea party and get some support," he said.
Rothra criticized Sen. Kevin Eltife, R-Tyler, though inaccurately. Eltife raised the hackles of extreme conservatives for his Senate Finance Committee work softening House cuts to education and human services such as those for the mentally ill.
"I disagree with Sen. Eltife extremely on the idea that what we need to do is raise taxes and not make cuts," Rothra said.
Eltife never proposed raising any taxes during the session.
"I never, ever proposed raising taxes," Eltife said later Monday night. "I never supported raising taxes. We cut $15 billion in spending. And, I said all along what we didn't need to do was raise taxes. I don't know where he got his information, but it's wrong."
Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler, earned praise for a failed bill that would have required law enforcement to verify the citizenship of anyone they stopped.
On the larger playing field, Lt. David Dewhurst took a hit in Rothra's speech. The Republican has announced intentions to run for U.S. Senate.
"What was David Dewhurst doing, appointing Democratic chairs in the Senate?"

LANCASTER - If you're cruising down an open desert road this weekend in a convertible and you start hearing the theme to "The Lone Ranger," the hot sun isn't playing tricks with your mind.
You're grooving on the Civic Musical Road - a quarter-mile stretch of asphalt that's been altered - rhythmically - to produce "The William Tell Overture" when a car passes over it.
Part of a promotional campaign for the Honda Civic, it's one of only four in the world - and the only such road in the United States.
"I hear it every day. It's kind of cool to be part of history," said David Gilroy, 43, a carpenter who lives near the noteworthy strip of highway.
"The way I look at it, there's only four in the world, and one in the U.S., and it's right here by my home."
Some motorists pass through the stretch three, four or five times to hear the sound effect, made by specially cut grooves in the asphalt that emit different sounds as the tires pass over them.
The concept is similar to a record player needle gliding across a vinyl LP. The grooves were configured to create the music at 55 mph, the posted speed limit.
The road, about six miles west of downtown Lancaster on Avenue K between 62nd and 70th streets west, has attracted curiosity seekers who have seen YouTube videos of the phenomenon.
Lancaster resident P.J. Walker on Friday snapped a picture of her silver 2002 Honda Civic parked next to the sign marking the start of "The Civic Musical Road."
"It would be fun if they did it in different places all over with different songs," Walker said.
"Something from the Beatles maybe, like `Yesterday,"' she mused as she started humming the first notes of the Lennon and McCartney classic.
But the road has not been music to some residents' ears. In fact, complaints have been so vociferous that city officials plan to pave it over Tuesday.
Detractors say it sounds nothing like the classic symphony by Gioacchino Rossini, but an unrecognizable screech that keeps them awake at night.
"I think it's terrible because it keeps me awake at night," said Donna Martin, a 53-year-old retired budget analyst who lives about a quartermile from the road. "It's all I hear night and day, and it's not a pretty sound.
"You can kind of tell it's music, but it's not any tune or notes. It's a scratchy sound, a high-pitch drone."
Brian Robin, who lives about a half-mile away, said it sounds like an orchestra that's constantly out of tune.
"When you hear it late at night, it will wake you up from a sound sleep. It's awakened my wife three or four times a night," Robin said.
Llano resident Peggy Hager said it sounded like a "high-pitched whine." She couldn't identify the score, but knew it was a tune because it had a beat and rhythm.
"I think it's kind of cool," Hager said. "When you are driving out on Avenue K, you're going out to the middle of nowhere. It's kind of a nice surprise to come across this thing."
Similar "melody" or "singing" roads have been built in Japan, South Korea and Holland.
Honda's ad agency, Santa Monica-based RPA, decided to incorporate the peculiar music-making method into a Civic commercial that will air nationally in late September.
"Honda is an advanced engineering company, and we thought it would be fun to connect that to the Civic marketing campaign," RPA Senior Vice President and Executive Producer Gary Paticoff said.
Pauline East, the Antelope Valley Film Office's liaison, said the location was picked after Honda said it wanted a sense of community and city lights from one angle, and a feeling of openness from the other. The city approved the project as part of its overall effort to encourage more film and television production.
Half-inch-deep, one-inch- wide grooves were notched into the road at specific intervals so that a vehicle traveling over them produces various tones, said Ray Hunt, Lancaster's capital engineering manager.
"It's similar to the rumble strips along center medians," Hunt said. "They did test strips to identify the spacing needed to create the sound they wanted."
Honda spokesman Chris Martin said the singing road was designed to be heard optimally in a Honda Civic. "It's engineered for the Civic, for that type of tires and length of vehicle," Martin said.
The roadwork was completed Sept. 5. Soon after that, people started complaining.
The city had been told at the beginning that only motorists inside their cars would experience the sound, but the noise carried farther than expected, city officials said.
"Was it historic? Yes. Maybe the wrong location? Obviously," East said. "We thought it was far enough away."

President Svetozar Marovic said talks with the breakaway province - administered by the UN and Nato since the end of the war there in 1999 - would start before the end of July at an unspecified venue.
He made the announcement at the end of the EU-Western Balkans summit in Porto Carras, Greece, and the development was welcomed by EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana as "really good news".
"We want to assure all European nations that we have the vision, the patience and the strength to solve the problems of the past," said Mr Marovic.
EU officials at the summit suggested Brussels as one possible venue for the talks which will cover practical issues, including energy and transport links, but also the return of Serbian refugees.
Meetings 'necessary'
Belgrade's forces withdrew from Kosovo, along with some 200,000 mainly Serbian refugees, after a 78-day Nato bombing campaign aimed at ending repression of ethnic Albanians there.
Ramadan Avdiu, an adviser to Kosovo Prime Minister Bajram Rexhepi, said the talks were necessary.
"We have many problems, technical issues of common interest, that we need to solve," he said.
The BBC's Oana Lungescu reports from Porto Carras that what the talks will not address is Kosovo's future or ethnic Albanian calls for independence.
No-one in the EU is prepared to accept these claims, our correspondent says, but once the talks get under way between Belgrade and Pristina, the international community may not be able to avoid a decision on Kosovo's final status for much longer.
It seems, our correspondent adds, that the summit's message to Balkan leaders that they can only become members of the EU if they keep their commitments to conduct reforms and overcome ethnic strife is getting through.

Case 5: Fate
All Episodes »
4 watches
February 22, 2013
Why does the universe behave the way it does? More importantly, why do horrible things keep happening to me? Everyone has suffered at some point under the feeling that their lives were the playthings of the Gods. In Episode 5: Fate, Zoochosis tackles not only the horrific fear that the universe is insane, but also tells the story of the Gods who are in control: rats. The rats in this episode are all-powerful and are being studied as they interfere in people's lives. From what we eat, to who we meet to how we die, it's all a game of chance to the rats. However at a certain point even a rat can long for more, and these rats, when they get it, take a chance at freedom. Once they have their freedom though, they find that they miss their old lives in the cage. The questions is, if they go back, how will the decisions they make from now on reflect their brief taste of fun and freedom?

He clearly wasn't put off by the troubled bank's plummeting share price or the £26bn it owes the Bank of England. So is there anything he wouldn't snap up and slap a Virgin sticker on?
He's clearly not afraid of tainting his brand with a predecessor's woes, because he took over the Intercity West Coast train franchise, complete with unreliable rolling stock and punctuality issues, making Virgin synonymous with lateness. You might think some ventures would be too trifling for his giant empire, but the Virgin Group boasts among its subsidiaries a motorcycle taxi service and a California winery with precisely two wines.
Still, he must say no to some things, mustn't he? He wouldn't attach the Virgin name to anything that resulted in a weak play on words that undermined the company's credibility - unless you count Virgin Brides, the chain of two wedding shops that has now shrunk to one. He hasn't launched a chain of groovy maternity hospitals called Virgin Birth yet, but there's a fair chance he's registered the domain name.
Looking across Branson's holdings, there seems to be nary a pie into which he is reluctant to stick a finger: cinemas, health clubs, hotels, cosmetics, books, jewellery, vodka, alternative fuels, credit cards. He has yet to take over a failing landmine manufacturer, but then how many failing landmine manufacturers are there? For them, business has never been better.

The rapper turned columnist for the Miami New Times has figured out "terrorism" in America:
And. . .
Once everything cools down again, we'll go back to bickering with one another about who's better, conservatives or liberals. Meanwhile, the next terrorist — domestic or foreign — will be secretly plotting the next attack. The hatred Americans have for one another motivates radicals to commit unspeakable acts of horror here. Our divided nation, thanks to public trolls like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, inspires lunatics like Jared Lee Loughner, James Holmes, and Adam Lanza to kill children, women, and men, and seriously maim dozens of others. It's time we take responsibility for creating terrorists at home and abroad.
Yes, it is time to take responsibility for creating "terrorists" at home, like the gangs in Chicago and thug-on-thug murders that are destroying America's urban centers. But Luther Campbell and his extensive arrest record is probably not the best person to lead the change American cities need.

Recently published numbers from the Steamboat Springs Board of Realtors Multiple Listing Service testify to the growing popularity of townhomes. During the first three months of 2003, townhome sales exceeded regular condominium sales for the first time.
Real estate agents and developers say townhomes are becoming increasingly popular because they can provide the elements of a single-family home with the convenience of common amenities, maintenance and management, and often more affordable prices.
Routt County developers say they noticed this trend before seeing the numbers in the Multiple Listing Service.
Developer and real estate broker Kimberly Kreissig said she noticed the trend well before she and her husband finished three Steamboat Springs townhome projects in the past two years -- Bear Meadows Townhomes in spring of 2002, Willow Brook Townhomes in spring of 2003 and now The Willows Townhomes.
Kreissig said she noticed the great demand for high-quality, affordable homes first, but then found, "it is virtually impossible to build a single-family house in town under $350,000."
Building house-like structures, such as townhomes, is much more cost effective, she said.
"What we've found is that townhomes, more of the duplex style are better than condos, in the sense that there is only one shared wall," Kreissig said. "For some, there is a feeling that it is more of a home than condo. You've got a little bit of a yard. There is more space around you. We've seen that a lot of people like that rather than having people above you and below you."
Residents of The Willows will share more than one wall, as there are four side-by-side units in some of the buildings, but Kreissig said it is more appealing to those who want to veer away from the condo or apartment lifestyle.
Karen Beauvais, a real estate broker at Coldwell Banker, agrees that townhomes are popular now because they offer more privacy from neighbors who would live in apartments or condos above or below the owner's unit.
"There wasn't a wide variety of townhomes until the past two years, because condos are cheaper to build and they can be built with more density," Beauvais said.
Developers are seeing that more and more people don't mind paying extra for the extra space and privacy townhomes provide compared with condominiums, Beauvais said.
Townhome complexes that were built before the recent surge in sales, such as The Mountaineer on Walton Creek Road or Quail Run on Whistler Road, are getting additions for the demand.
Sales of the Quail Run townhomes, which are being offered in the $300,000 range, were somewhat slow starting out but have sold quickly lately, RE/MAX Steamboat owner Ken Gold said. The 20-unit complex is getting a 14-unit addition, and nine of those units were pre-sold, Gold said.
Other townhomes being offered by RE/MAX also have been selling well, Gold said. The Enclave townhomes, in the $400,000 range, and even the ski-in, ski-out Elkhorn town homes, in the $2 million range, have sold well, Gold said.
Gold said that while the townhome market is the strongest it has ever been, it was almost as strong a few years ago. More second-home owners and first-time home buyers are beginning to see the benefits of townhomes as a condo/house hybrid. And besides having some private yard space, townhomes typically have the benefits of a garage.
"It's perfect for those who are looking for something a little bigger than a condo, which is definitely limiting as far as what you can do," Gold said. "It's a good transition for people in between buying a house or a condo."

Rip Van Winkle Bluetooth Low Energy Wakes Up, Then Sleeps Again
Bluetooth Low Energy (LE, or BLE, or Smart) is all about sending and receiving data just like any other Bluetooth device, but doing so using much less power. It's ideally suited for M2M applications where a device wakes up, transmits or receives data, then goes back to sleep. The Bluetooth SIG specifies myriad application profiles from healthcare ("Blood Pressure Profile") to Sports and Fitness. At the recent DESIGN West 2013 conference, editor-in-chief Chris A. Ciufo got the lowdown on Laird's new BL600 Bluetooth LE Smart modules.
Extension Media Interview with Microchip's Joe Drzewiecki
Editor Chris Ciufo spent time with Microchip software manager Joe Drzewiecki at the Spring DESIGN West show (formerly known as ESC). Microchip launched their new MPLAB X compiler strategy that now goes across all Microchip MCUs. It also adds a new license strategy, optimizations that compile 35 percent faster on 32-bit devices (or save 35 percent on code size). There's also a "totally free" version of the MPLAB X compiler.

These sampling procedures are provided assuming
that extractable
organics, and/or volatile organic compound
samples will
not be collected. See DEP - SOP-001/01 FS
2400 for
specific requirements for organic samples.
Obtain the sampling kit containing the bottles,
chain of custody forms and additional preservatives
from the laboratory.
Gather sampling equipment. The equipment can be
made of plastic, glass, teflon, or stainless steel.
Before sample collection clean all sampling
equipment with a brush using hot water and Liquinox
soap. Rinse thoroughly with tap water three to four
times. Rinse with a 10-15% reagent grade
hydrochloric acid. Do not use a nitric acid rinse if
analyzing for nitrate or nitrogen compounds.
Stainless steel equipment should not be rinsed in
acid. Use analyte free water for the final rinse
[most commonly used is de-ionized (DI) water]. An
alcohol rinse is not necessary. DO NOT USE BLEACH
Disposable unpowdered gloves are recommended for sample
collection to protect personnel who collect the
samples and to assure the integrity of the samples.
Disposable gloves should be changed at each sampling
Determine the correct location for sample
collection. This is usually described in the permit
for the facility. If there are questions about a
representative sampling location, please contact the
wastewater compliance section at the local
Department of Environmental Protection office.
Grab samples should be collected directly into the
sample bottles whenever possible, particularly for
fecal coliform. NOTE: Bottles with preservatives are
the exception (see below). Collect the
sample directly into the unpreserved container by
submerging the container, top first, into the
effluent. Point top of the bottle into the flow.
After filling, pour out a few milliliters of sample
to allow for air space for expansion, sample
preservation, and mixing.
If access to the sampling location is restricted,
secure the bottle to a pole using a clip or other
device and collect the sample directly into the
Fecal coliform sample collection requires extra
care. Make sure that sodium thiosulfate pill is not
lost during sample collection.
If collection directly into the bottle is not
possible, an intermediate container may be used. The
container must be thoroughly cleaned using the same
procedures as for other sampling equipment. The
container must be rinsed several times in the sample
water. If the container is used for more than one
sampling location and no metals and/or organics are
being sampled, the container should be rinsed with
tap water between sampling points. At the next
sampling location rinse the container several times
in the sample water.
Bottles with preservatives should be filled from
an intermediate container so none of the
preservative will be lost.
Preservatives should be checked with narrow range
pH paper to confirm that the samples are correctly
preserved. Shake bottle thoroughly before performing
the pH check. Do not dip the pH paper directly into
the sampling container. Sample water may be poured
directly onto the pH paper or a small amount of the
sample can be poured into another container to check
the pH. The small amount of the sample should be
discarded after checking the pH.
Keep the samples packed on ice for delivery to the
The exterior and accessible interior portions of
the automatic sampler should be washed with Liquinox
soap and rinsed with tap water.
All tubing should be visually checked. Tubing that
has become discolored or has lost its elasticity
should be changed. New pump tubing should be
Disposable unpowdered gloves are recommended for assembly of
the unit at the sampling location and for dis-assembly
to protect personnel who collect the samples and to
assure the integrity of the samples. Disposable
gloves should be changed at each sampling location.
Check the permit for the facility to determine if
samples are to be collected according to time or
flow proportioned composite samples.
A minimum of 100 milliliters should be collected
each time the unit activates.
Pack ice inside and around the sampler or set
refrigerated units to 4 degrees Celsius.
Collection line tubing should not be resting on
the bottom or against the walls of the tank. Place
the tubing in the turbulent zone. For influent
samples, return sludge or other influences should
not affect the sample.
Check the timing and delivery of the automatic
sampler by setting the unit for start up a few
minutes later and use a graduated cylinder to
measure the amount collected.
For both influent and effluent samples, the
automatic sampler purges the line each time samples
are collected. Make sure the line does not contain
any low areas where residuals would be retained in
the line between sample collections.

Detroit Film Theatre
Cinetopia Film Festival: A Touch of Sin
Friday, June 06, 2014
4:30 PM Detroit Film Theatre
(China–2013/Zhangke Jia)
Inspired by four tales of true-life violence in various parts of mainland China, Jia chronicles the unfortunate trajectories of those who sin and those who have been sinned against in a anthology that examines tradition, personal integrity, corruption, and modernity. A former soldier incensed by political graft, a woman betrayed by the married man she is having an affair with, a bandit who fetishizes the power of his gun and a young man desperate for work all become victims of a society that regards them as little more than a cog in the capitalist wheel. It's a poetically bracing examination of China that will resonate with anyone who's watched with concern the growing economic disparities that are engulfing our own nation. (133 min.)
"...it has the urgency of a screaming headline but one inscribed with visual lyricism, emotional weight and a belief in individual rights. You can feel the conviction of its director, Jia Zhang-ke — one of the few filmmakers of any nationality who weighs the impact of social and political shifts on people — in every shot." —Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

#76. Celebrate your 30th birthday with happiness.
HI. It's been half a year.
I've been gone, but these tasks are not forgotten. Just in a queue. That I'll get to.
Alas, I am 30 and 5 days. What have I done in 30 long years besides read and wander around and be occasionally inebriated? Only the sober will know. Here's what 30 looks like:
In a last ditch attempt to spend my 30th with people I care about, I whipped up a "Nerdy Thirty" boardgame night at my place and invited all 12 people I know in the Bay Area. Since my day of birth and Christmas are kissing cousins, few were around to attend – this was probably for the best as I left my flat mate, Lauren, zero time to prepare (she's a doting cook and the best host around)!
In the end, I had a small group of people I care so much about here to entertain my current board game mania while dining on Lauren's always delicious fare. There was mulled booze, beer, whiskey and wine, and fun was had by all (I presume).
While I had hoped to get to playing Dead of Winter, we spent most of our time fussing over the rules and calling eachother out on BS while playing Coup, a card game that's advertised to take 15 minutes. After two hours with the first game of Coup, the folks had to call it quits because Tuesday, and I got to relish alone in the fun gifts below.
Lauren gave me this amazing Zombies Have Issues 2016 Calendar that chronicles #ZombieProblems through the months. A coworker, Lee, passed on her favorite books (I totally appreciate these kinds of gifts) plus an awesome AT-AT necklace that I'll be sure to get loads of use out of. Then lastly, a little something for myself, 7 Wonders, though I cracked it open and decided it was too complex to learn while inebriated and promptly stashed it away.
So yes, achievement achieved. I celebrated my 30th birthday with happiness

101 Things in 1001 Days – An Introduction
I've been thinking about this list for years. The last time I engaged in the 101 Things Challenge, I wound up pushing myself to do some really awesome things (#7: Live In Another Country For A Year). I also broke bad habits (#78: Stop Biting Nails) while establishing some memorable new ones (#31: Learn New Trade – Video Editing). This all set me up so that, in a series of somehow related events, I found a path into the field of journalism, which connected me to my mentor, Cathrerine Toth, who then encouraged me to run in the Cherry Blossom Festival of Hawai'i where I won a title and served a year on court as the 60th Cherry Blossom Festival of Hawai'i Princess. I know.
The clear adage here is if you do this Challenge, you'll get to wear a crown. And why stop at one?
So I'm at it again, five years later, because I'm list-driven and self-motivated to try a new, more adult-ish undertaking. Plus, gosh, I've been pining for any silly reason to write and post pictures of my plants. Besides, I have reason to forget that alzheimer's and dementia run in the family – blogging is where all my memories get an extended half-life.
And without any more of this, I present:
3.1 (Hundred Dollars) Phillip Lim for Target
Similar to how we all remember where we were and what we were doing when all the big moments in our life happened, I was wasting my morning scrolling through my Facebook feed when I learned that Target was doing a collab with 3.1 Phillip Lim.
At this moment, I believed in reincarnation. I'm telling you – I died, guys.
I watched that promo video over and over, then went in to work (where I was selling some real prime designer threads) to gush to everyone that, hashtag, PhillipLimForTarget was a thing. P Lim, like any progressive designer, has stunning and intricate and downright beautiful stuff… of the likes mere mortals can never afford. Oh, I've spent seasons pining over his dresses and sweaters and whimsical printed tunics, and while my job enabled me to exercise a very liberal discount, I've yet to add a 3.1 piece to my closet.
Not that any of it matters because I've never loved a garment the way I love his bags. And I'm not even a purse person.
What I carry my feminine nonsense in is always some combination of cheap and practical. I need a strap, and then like, a zipper. So why am I getting all doe-eyed every moment I pass by a Phillip Lim Pashli bag? Probably because we're soul mates.
Please feel sorry for me because that sleek and perfect designer handbag on the left is sucking the living $700 right out of me. It's a many splendid thing, but I've had to turn down love because, like Ewan McGreggor, I can't afford to sleep with it.
But now there's a cure for this ridiculous obsession with the Pashli bag, and it's at Target, like, five hours ago. Hellooooo $35 sloppy-seconds satchel! It's like the kind of simple sister to the one above, and, honestly, I wish I hadn't cross compared them because now my cheap bag looks even cheaper.
Whelp, my early-morning ferver has been squandered, however, this only means the dream lives on. I start saving today!But before we get ahead of ourselves, let's take a look at some of my DEBT!
Here's what I've picked up at 3am from this collaboration:
In truth, I wasn't able to get my physical hands on the yellow Pashli bag, color-blocked sweater or peplum top. For those, we're going to have to thank Mom in Hawaii who snuck out of the house in the wee Sunday hours to get the things her daughter couldn't snag in PST. How she got the mini satchel, I quote, "I have no idea." I'm calling it a mix of fortune and a recessive ninja gene – And I'm not going to fight genetics.
All in all, Phillip Lim for Target was a circus everywhere, from small towns to the interwebs and isolated tropical islands. I got more than what I expected to, and I didn't even have to punch anyone in the guts.
Blue Leather Jackets cos, Child, you need that
Blue Leather Jackets. What's not fascinating about the prospect of a leathered blue. In jacket formation.
A woman came up to me last week and asked for it. "Do you have a blue leather jacket?" And I lost my shit. "…You're kidding," I said, because, duh, I've got your blue leather jacket right here.
It was Theysken's Theory that first brought this blue leather nonsense to my attention. Minor correction: It was more like indigo suede, but the statement was there. It's fibrous softness, padded shoulders and asymmetrical zipper placing were statements to this years' moto jacket, but man, that blue was the portal to a very warm and fashion-forward heaven. So I died.
My favorite of the following draws from my general bias for Helmut Lang. I love the color blocking and the unusual draping that's not often seen with leather. And I am curious to see how the Alexander McQueen piece functions and if those pocket details are more silhouette-shaping than they are practical. But, of course, Theysken's Theory still holds my heart for being the originator, the emotional ground zero from which my fascination stemmed.
But Blue Leather Jackets, man, I'm telling you.

Low Retaining Wall
I have a small, 20 ft retaining wall that is only 2 blocks high with a cap installed over that. It runs along side of my driveway and hold in river rock.
My question whether I should continue the wall around the whole north part of my house. I have curved the wall around a bush and it ends at my foundation. The problem I have is that I was planning on stopping the wall and then using interlocking edgers to complete my edging because the grade of my driveway really flatens out.
If I use the retaining wall blocks it would only be 1 block high for about 20 ft. I didn't know if that would look right or if people really use wall blocks for that long of a run at only 1 high?
So my options are
1) continue with 1 block high retaining wall at take the caps off my current wall (would be too high for a block and cap)
2) stop the wall (like I have) and continue with edgers
Post a pic if you can, a lot easier to advise that way. I just finished a similar project myself but used wood instead of block.
I actually decided to keep the wall block going. When it got really low and one full block was too high, I used the top cap. Looks nice.
I guess U should go for the long wall with 1 block height.I dont expect it to look horrible.anyway I have seen ppl so that and still the place dint look all that different
