This home is situated to take full advantage of outdoor living. There are multiple shaded patios and courtyards with breath taking views.
Owner / caretaker lives in attached wing of the house with private entrance. Jan (Honza) is originallyfrom Prague, Czech Republic. He came to New Mexico in 1979 and he settled down
in Corrales in 1986. Jan is outdoor enthusiasts who traveled, hiked and backpacked the southwest region of US extensively. He can provide intimate inside to guide you to local attractions. Jan is also accomplished landscape photographer.
My wife and I recently stayed at Hacienda Fiala and were overjoyed with not only the accommodations but also with the hospitality. Jan, the owner, is friendly and welcoming. His knowledge of the local area was very helpful and added a lot to our travel experience. Hacienda Fiala was more than advertised, which in these times is very commendable and speaks volumes about the quality of the property and the owner.
We highly recommend Jan and Hacienda Fiala, and hope to get back again soon.
We were looking for a quite liad place. We found that and much much more.
The Host Jan and his loveable dog Argos were very friendly and helpful.
The Artistically Designed Home was more than we had hoped for and in such
a peacefull naborhood with lots to see. The view of the Sandia Mountains was
beautiful.The yard had many beautiful Flowers,there were Birds of many kinds
and Ribbits and ground Squirrels. There was lots of space in the house and
great place to sit an read or watch the Birds.
We hope to return many times in the comming years.
I travel the country and stay in many homes but I would have to say that this magnificent adobe was really like "being at home" The host, Jan, was cordial and his dog Argos was the best. I had my dog with me and the two of them hit it off spectacularly. The apartment area I stayed in was tastefully decorated and it was peaceful on the crisp spring mornings sipping my coffee on the balcony and looking out over the Sandia Mountains. I stayed there about three weeks and became good friends with the owner. Get him to make one of his awesome salads....you won't forget it. I would highly recommend this rental as a get away or a short term vacation.

We arrived exhausted and depleted from months of overwork--and are reluctantly preparing to leave tomorrow--renewed and refreshed from a week of silence, rest, and renewal. This home is a work of art--designed and built by Jan, the owner. Every room is artistically designed to encourage intimate conversation or quiet reflection. The outdoor spaces are well-designed to allow guests to enjoy sun or shade all day and evening.
We chose the downstairs bedroom because we have limited mobility, and the bed was perfect--firm under a down mattress topper, with down pillows and a down coverlet. Felt like we were being carried by a big mother bird! The adjacent bathroom has a sunken tub/shower that encourages long soaks or a leisurely shower with a view of a totally private outdoor space.
The kitchen is a chef's dream come true--wish we had more time to cook here! Six-burner gas stove, two convection ovens, all the pots, pans, and equipment needed to prepare a gourmet dinner--and a pantry full of dishes and some basic foods. Did I mention TWO drawer-type dishwashers? Lovely to have a tray of all the basics--seasonings, oil, vinegar, etc. right on the counter top.
Jan is a gracious host, available to assist (and we needed his help with a car problem), but not intrusive at all. Argos, his friendly and lovable dog, is a delight.
This home is a gem and we hope to return many times!
What a wonderful house! The house is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and want. Located just far enough out of the city to give you the peace of rural living, with quick access to everything from Costco's to Sprout's Natural Foods and so much more. Within 10-15 minutes you can be on the interstate headed to Santa Fe and other areas of interest around Albuquerque or take a leisurely 20 minute drive down Rio Grand Boulevard to Old Town Albuquerque. The house has several beautifully shaded outside patio areas with incredible views of the Sandia Mountains. Every room and patio seems to call you to grab a good book and enjoy the peaceful quiet. By far the nicest home we have ever rented through VacationRentals.com. Jan and Argos were the perfect hosts for our stay in Corrales. We will be back!

The Village of Corrales is bordered on the east by the Rio Grande and, across the river, by the Sandia Indian Reservation. To the south is the City of Albuquerque while to the west and north is the City of Rio Rancho. To cross the borders into Corrales is to step into another time and place where the stresses of twenty-first century life give way to the grace and pace of another era.
Corrales aggressively strives to retain a rural lifestyle. Prehistoric sites indicate the Corrales Valley has been occupied as early as 500 A.D. when the ancestors of the present-day Indian Pueblos derived sustenance from the fertile valley. Subsequent populations, including Hispanic, European and American families, settled here to raise grapes, apples, and livestock. Today, Corrales is distinguished by its broad green pastures and orchards, its rich historic and artistic character, and of course the sounds and scents of roosters, cows, horses and sheep.
There are fiestas and harvest celebrations, wine tasting events, and traditional Hispanic and Native American dances and religious observances throughout the year. Two of Corrales' most historic buildings are available for viewing. Casa San Ysidro Museum s a 1650's estate that is now operated by the City of Albuquerque Museum. The Old San Ysidro Church (1850's) is also a Southwest treasure not to be missed.
For outdoor activities Corrales Bosque Nature Preserve offers spectacular views over Rio Grande, Bosque and The Sandia Mountains in the background. There are multiple trails ideal for hiking, mountain biking, horse back riding, birds and wildlife viewing.
Close proximity to Albuquerque offers many attractions like: Old Town, Rio Grande ZOO, Rio Grande Botanical Gardens, Aquarium – ABQ Bio Park, Museums, Golf courses, Sandia Peak Tramway, numerous cultural events, restaurants with famous New Mexico cousin, live music and micro breweries.
Day trips to surrounding area include world wide renown locations like: Santa Fe, Chaco Canyon and Bandelier National Monuments, Ojo Caliente Hot Springs, Bosque Del Apache Refuge just to mention few.

|Re: st: Missing values in Mata functions
|Thu, 08 Sep 2005 11:38:38 -0500
Ben Jann <firstname.lastname@example.com> asked > I have a general question about programming Mata functions: > How should we deal with missing values? > > Up to now, my strategy simply was not to allow missing values. > That is: > > : void myfunction(x) { > > if (missing(x)) _error(3351) > > } > : myfunction(.) > myfunction(): 3351 argument has missing values > <istmt>: - function returned error > r(3351); I do not think -if (missing(x)) _error(3351)- is the right way to go in general. Here's the current StataCorp theory on missing values: 1. Mata functions and missing values ------------------------------------- Let's divide numeric functions into three categories, (M) Mathematical functions (S) Statistical functions (U) Utility functions Examples of (M) include sqrt(), cholsolve(), eigensystem(), etc. Examples of (S) include mean(), cross(), etc. Examples of (U) include st_view(), st_dropvar(), fwrite(), etc. The distinction between (M) and (S) is a subtle one. For our purposes, we will define as in (S) any function that accepts raw data (e.g., a data matrix) as input. Any function that is used in statistics but accepts summary statistics (values calculated from raw data) we will classify as (M). In this classification, normal() is a mathematical function, not a statistical function. 2. Treatment of missing values by (M) -------------------------------------- In general, one let's the calculation go through and lets Mata handle the missing-value issues. For instance, try this in Mata: : (1,2\3,.) * (4,5\6,7) The result will be that the second row is missing, but the first row is nonmissing. It is seldom necessary to code any special action for missing values, but if it is, the action of the function should be to return a result of missing values of the appropriate dimension. Try this in Mata, : eigenvalues((1,2\3,.)) The result will be a 1 x 2, and each element will be missing value. As an aside, it is of great importance that category (M) functions be tolerant of missing values, because they often are used with calculated results, which may themselves have become missing because of numerical problems or extreme conditions. 3. Treatment of missing values by (U) -------------------------------------- Utility functions perform a service, and the numeric values passed to them usually index something, such as, drop variable i, to read from file j. These functions should abort on missing value unless they assign a special meaning to it, such as "drop variable i" meaning drop all variables if i is missing. 4. Treatment of missing values by (S) -------------------------------------- These functions act in one of three ways, 1. They act the same as (M). 2. They disallow missing values. 3. They perform casewise deletion of missing values. All of that is to say, pretty much anything goes. (3), however, is considered the exception, and StataCorp policy is that, in coding, DEPENDING ON (as imposed to introducing) behavior (3) in the use of a function is considered sloppy, barely acceptable programming. Behavior (3) was introduced on a few functions (namely -cross()- and -mean()-) because we knew that some users would not be as careful as we intended to be. The problem will missing values in data calculations is the multitude of the ways it could be dealt with. Usually, the easiest (and therefore, most natural) is to engage in casewise deletion. The problem is, the data matrix SUPERX is often split into separate matrices X, Y, and Z and sometimes, only a subset of SUPERX is passed to subfunctions. There is simply no way they can know which observations to exclude. For instance, pretend you are writing a program to calculate invsym(X'X)*X'y You write a lovely program, including a part that reports results. You decide to report the means of the RHS variables, so you write a subfunction reportmeans(X). Problem is, if missing values are automatically excluded, reportmeans(X) does not have enough information to exclude the appropriate observations, because y might be missing and X not. If you think this is a silly example, think again. Let's pretend you write regress(X, y) to calculate invsym(X'X)*X'y, presumably in some numerically stable way. You go the work of adding casewise deletion to regress(). Now, at a later date, you are writing another routine, to calculate a form of multivariate regression of Y = (y1, y2) on X = (X1, X2). In your normal, sloppy way, you depend on automatic removal of missing values. At one point in the new routine, you need regress(X1, y1), so you code that. You have just introduced a hidden bug: the coefficients will not necessarily be calculated on the same sample as the rest of your statistics. As a programmer, the best thing to do is to avoid the problem: Do not depend on subfunctions handling missing values. Moreover, excluding missing values is easy. Category (S) functions, by definition, accept data matrices as arguments. Data are usually stored in the Stata data set. The functions to access those data, st_data() and st_view(), make it easy to exclude missing values. The best approach is to create a (temporary) to-use variable in the dataset that marks the observations to be used, and then use that variable all calls to st_data() and st_view(). If you set up all of your matrices in this way at the outset, you will have no hidden bugs. Another question ---------------- Ben also complained about an earlier question of his being ignored: > This also raises another question I already posted some days > ago on statalist: How can we quickly select a submatrix (e.g. > all non-missing elements of a vector, all rows of a matrix > that do not contain any missing values) in Mata? The short answer is that Mata needs a high-speed -select()- function, and we will write that. In the meantime, what Ben was doing looked reasonable to me. -- Bill firstname.lastname@example.com * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

Q&A: Gabriel "Tito" Bracero
By Mariano A. Agmi
Photos: Marty Rosengarten/RingsidePhotos.com
On Wednesday, October 6th, junior welterweight New Yorican Gabriel "Tito" Bracero (11-0, 1 KO) headlines DiBella Entertainment's "Broadway Boxing" at the BB King's Blues Club in Times Square, NYC.
The Sunset Park, Brooklyn native returns from his most impressive performance to date, a four round thrashing of Ray Betancourt for his first career KO to face Terry Buterbagh, who returns to NYC following an upset of New Yorker Tommy Rainone at Yankee Stadium in June.
Tito, for fans outside of NYC who haven't seen you, tell me a little about yourself.
I've been boxing since 9 years old. Boxing is a dream of mine. I'm a golden gloves champion and a junior Olympic champion. I had a good amateur record. Growing up, I got sidetracked: you know, hanging with knuckleheads, making the wrong decisions and getting into trouble. A lot of friends that I grew up had success in boxing, so within the past two years, I made it my responsibility to dedicate myself to boxing and to make a career out of it.
What other NYC area boxers did you come up with?
I came up with Paulie Malignaggi, Luis Collazo, Gary Stark Jr., we all won the Golden Gloves together. Paulie won the Golden Gloves at 132, I was at 139 and Luis Collazo was at 147, so we always came up around each other. Winning national tournaments together but the only thing is that I was being a knucklehead so a lot of people didn't get to hear about me. Boxing was a dream that I never let go of, and now that's my full time job, that's my passion. I'm dedicated to it. My goal right now is to catch up to what those other guys have done.
You have an exciting, volume punching style, but the knock on you has been that you don't have any power. That wasn't so in your last bout – why is that?
I'm a stick and move fighter, and I'd been out of the ring a while, so I still had an amateur style where I'm throwing punches and I'm moving out of the way too fast, so I've been working with a strength and conditioning coach to help me sit down on my punches. What happened was that I was standing up too much on my punches so when I'm throwing them, I don't have that much power on them. I've been practicing on slowing down my punches a little bit, sitting down more and turning my body with the punches, so now my punches are more powerful and they're more effective.
In my last fight, I was more patient, taking my time and sitting down on my punches, and everything worked for me. I always had the power; I just wasn't always using it. I've been working with John Schaefer, who runs Winning Factor. He's an Olympic strength and conditioning trainer. He's been teaching me a lot of new training techniques that I wasn't aware of.
How long have you been training with Tommy Gallagher?
I turned pro with Tommy Gallagher in 2001. He's been by my side since day one. He's family. He brings me the experience that he has. He's been around so many fighters and he's been around boxing for such a long time that he not only helps me with my boxing, but he also guides me and teaches me a lot about the business of boxing.
You have a very loyal following in NYC. When you fight, even if it's on the undercard, I see the red "Tito Bracero" t-shirts everywhere. Why is that?
A lot of my loyal fans are my friends and family, and they've been by me since day one and they've always been part of my boxing career because they knew I was good. As I overcame obstacles and had some accomplishments, they were behind me and it helped all of us. To have a friend coming up trying to make it in this world, we all encourage each other. So it's a bunch of friends and family that support and motivate each other. I'm loyal to my fans too, so thank God that my fans feel that when I'm in the ring, they're in the ring with me. It makes it fun for them and me.
As a matter of fact, I just finished driving around, handing out brand new "Tito Bracero" shirts. A lot of tickets were sold, so wait until you see the crowd this time.
You alluded to taking some time off earlier. There's a 7 year gap in your career, from 2002-2009. What happened during that time?
Me being a knucklehead, I got sidetracked and in trouble, so I took an unexpected "vacation," a time away where it cost me my freedom for a while. So I had to overcome, I had to grow up during those years and mature from a kid to a grown man. Even with my time away, I always stayed faithful to boxing, so my main goal was the day that I got back and got the chance to get right back into boxing, I was going to do it. Thank God that with Tommy's help and Lou DiBella getting me fights, everything that I dreamed of came true, so I'm living my dream.
So you kept in shape while you were away?
It was like the Bernard Hopkins story, you know? I went away, and every night when I went to sleep, I prayed for the day when I could get back into boxing. I treated every day like I was getting ready for a boxing fight, keeping the dream alive and staying disciplined and looking forward to what I'm doing now. Only difference is that I have to move faster than the next man to try to make up for lost time.
If you could script your career, what would you accomplish and is there anyone in particular that you'd like to match your skills against?
As of right now, I think I have a good team and I leave my future to Tommy Gallagher and Lou DiBella to guide me in the right direction. I'm still getting this rust off from the years I took off. I've been boxing since I was a kid, so I have a lot of natural talent. In the next 6 or 7 fights, we're going to start taking on harder competition and getting into the rankings. Eventually I want to start fighting names that make sense that will help me move forward in my career.
For now I don't want to jump ahead; I want to put myself in the position where I can challenge the best. I want to be the best that I can be. Whoever I get in the ring with, I'm confident in myself that win or lose, I'm gonna make any fighter I face respect me. They're gonna feel that this kid Tito is serious and he's good. At the end of my career, I want to make sure that I make some money and can provide for my family.
What do you know about your opponent on Wednesday night?
I know that he beat a friend of mine, Tommy Rainone, at Yankee Stadium this summer. Other than that I don't know much about him but I'm prepared for anything on Wednesday night.
When and why did you start boxing?
My father grew up in boxing. He was a professional boxer and he came up with Juan LaPorte, and we were all very close. I grew up around boxing. Everyone around me was either a boxer or was involved in the boxing business. When I was growing up, 5-7 years old, I used to get into a lot of trouble. I was a bully, I loved fighting and it got to the point where my father said that it was time for me to go to the boxing gym. Ever since I was 9 years old, boxing has been a part of my life.
Who was your toughest opponent to date and why?
My toughest opponent must have been Winston Mathis, but only because I made it hard for myself. I smothered myself, I let him head butt me. I suffered a cut in my eye, and I was bleeding into my eye. I had to fight while wiping my eyes from round one. It was a good experience because I had to fight through the blood. It actually motivated me to fight harder and get the win.
Who is your all-time favorite boxer?
I love fighters that put on shows. I loved watching Hector "Macho" Camacho when I was a kid. Every time he jumped in the ring he was putting on a show, and that made me laugh and put a smile on my face. You have to keep this sport fun, you have to be able to go in there and have some fun.
I also liked Juan LaPorte as a fighter, he was a good Puerto Rican champion and I knew him and looked up to him. I loved Felix Trinidad, he was a warrior. These are fighters that no matter if they win or lose, you respect them and you like to see them fight. Just like Miguel Cotto, I love to see him fight too. He is a gentleman, he can lose a fight, shake your hand and it's all business. But they go in there and they fight their heart out.
Any final words for your fans?
I want to thank everybody for their support. I want everyone to stay looking out for me because I am a devoted fighter and I promise all of my fans that when they see me fight, I will fight my heart out and put on the best show possible.
I want my time to shine, and I feel that my time is now, so everything from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep, it's all boxing. It's not like when I was younger, my time is now and I have to shine while I can.

Arsène Lupin, the French gentleman burglar who not only commits crimes but solves them, is to return to the screen, reports The Wrap.
The prospective directors of the project, which is set up at Warner Bros., are Espen Sandberg and Joachim Rønning, whose "Kon-Tiki" is the Norwegian entry for this year's Foreign Language Oscar and was recently picked up for US distribution by the Weinstein Company. It depicts Thor Heyerdahl's 5,000-mile journey across the Pacific on a home-made raft in 1947.
The ultra-suave Lupin, invariably attired in Belle Époque evening address, is a moral criminal who takes on more heinous villains than himself. Created by Maurice Leblanc (1864-1941), he made his debut in July 1905. Antecedents include Rocambole, author Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail's villain-turned-do-gooder, and the cynical Victorian gentleman thief A.J. Raffles, invented in the 1890s by E.W. Hornung, Arthur Conan Doyle's brother-in-law. Lupin predated the murderous adventurer Fantômas by five years.
The character was born in 1874 and trained in boxing and fencing by his father, a teacher of gymnastics. His initial crime was the theft of a necklace from an arrogant relative who had hired Lupin's divorced mother. Leblanc completed 20 volumes of Lupin stories and was working on the 21st, "The Last Love of Arsène Lupin," when he died. The series had earned him the Legion of Honor for its appeal to French patriotism and pride.
A veteran of 22 movies and five television series, Lupin first appeared in a movie in 1908. John Barrymore played him in MGM's 1932 pre-Code entry (see clip below), Melvyn Douglas in 1936, Jules Berry in 1937, and Romain Duris (above) in 2004. The version released in Japan last year was the fifth made in that country.
Currently known as "Arsène Lupin AKA Once a Thief," the new film will be produced by Dan Lin of Lin Pictures and Roy Lee of Vertigo entertainment. Lin was behind Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes" (2009) and "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" (2011), so Lupin's escapades will likely get a technologically-enhanced makeover, as did those of Holmes and Dr. Watson.
It's not impossible that there could be some cross-fertilization. Lupin was a literary rival of Doyle's Baker Street detective. The characters first met in Leblanc's 1906 "Sherlock Holmes Arrives Too Late," published in the French magazine Je sais tout. Doyle insisted that Lupin's Holmes become "Herlock Sholmes" when the story was collected in Volume 1 of the Lupin book series.
Thief and sleuth encountered each other again in two stories in Volume 2, and have subsequently matched wits in a 2008 PC 3D video game and in Boris Akunin's 2008 novella "The Prisoner of the Tower, or A Short But Beautiful Journey of Three Wise Men." Can Lin and his directors resist a little friendly rivalry with Holmes when Lupin sweep into his next Hollywood picture?

Where I stayed
A brand new Peugeot 3008 with 12 km on the clock. Sara was disappointed there were no pink ones there, but as we walked up there was a silver and a white one. They liked the white one and that was what we got - lucky day!
Then braved the traffic going the wrong way and getting used to the GPS. We didn't have it set right and ended up paying 6.50 Euro to travel in a 2 metre high tunnel under Paris, mind you it probably saved me driving around the Arc de Triomphe!
Got to Versailles OK but didn't have the GPS set to take us to the Chateau, finally got there but a tad stressful with roundabouts going the wrong way and traffic cutting across lanes
Had lunch in garden at the Palace on the advice of the nice ticket lady which avoided the queues to get in, which was only 1/4 the length after lunch. very nice having lunch where French Kings and Queens walked.....
Despite the queue being shorter, the palace was still packed inside and it lost it's lustre with the jostling crowds, and the girls didn't enjoy it although the rooms were magnificent with marble walls, fabric wallpaper and fresco ceilings.
After that it was hit the road toward Normandy with no prior booking.
We headed for Lisieux, basically it was pick a point on the map and go, just before 7.00pm we were all getting tired and hungry so it was take the 1st thing we saw which was good old Mickey D's but luckily there was an Etap hotel just over the road which did a good deal on adjoining rooms for us and the girls, so two jobs for the night out of the way, tea and bed.
The area we drove through prior to Lisieux is the Pays d'Auge and it's known for being the cider and dairy producing area of France. It is very pretty and a real contrast to gritty Paris!
Then it was settle in and catch up on the blog and plan the next couple of days.

A la Prochaine (Till the next time)
... br> It was time to go home. We had to catch the ferry back from Le Havre at 12md on Friday. Between us and there was 300+ miles. Even though Will has performed really well it was too much to ask to knock out that distance in one day on a motorised razor blade. I'd already decided to split it over 2 days – Quimperle to Fougeres and then on Thursday to Le Havre.

It was evident early doors that there were a lot of roundabouts. I had nothing better to do so I thought I would count them as far as the hotel.
It took us 45 minutes to do 5 miles and there were 35 ******* roundabouts!!
Walking through the market and suburbs.
The street market was in full swing and dedicated fish market a sight to see. Meg was tempted at every turn but we couldn't buy anything. This was probably the best market we gave seen with autumn richness and cold sea catches; crabs, prawns, lobsters and shells all alive. To get some ...

All this with a Bordeaux merlot and a cab franc from Loire. Very happy ...

We were aiming north, towards the famous Salt flats near Uyuni. The train was out of service and thus we headed to the bus station where the only buses were heading to the town of Tupiza. The bus was old and the roads were dusty and pebble ridden. Much to my suprise though we made it there without difficulty
There we were, early morning on day one, standing in front of our 4x4, bags packed and our group standing beside us ( 3 men much to TCs delight!). Allow me to introduce the group, firstly there was Johan the lawyer from Bristol. A typical travelling brit, nine months on the road with a beard to show for it, not yet been a working man and thus still overly confident and a rather chatty. Next there was Uri, a qualified physicist and soldier of 10 years from Israel, taking a serious career break. Uri was nothing like the other Israeli travellers we've met, quiet and polite, pensive, pretty good at spanish after just four months travelling and a mighty good photographer. Finally there was Ellio (the one I suspect TC worried about the most!) a dashing and charming Italian. He admitted to being married and divorced twice, job unknown but something to do with 'publicity'. Ellio chose to move to Brazil because "they know how to party". The other members of the crew included our driver Jose and the chef who happened to be his wife and they brought along their baby girl, thus completing our new temporary family
We set off on our four day tour, TC and I camped out in the very back of the car and managed to make it quite homely. (Baby and Mrs Jose sat in the middle of the car and remained the centre of attention for much of the trip). The first day was not particularly exciting, we drove for 7 hrs with stops at small villages that just happened to be on the way. The village folk were very were friendly though. Driving on, the landscape was thankfully ever-changing and enchanting as we continued. We stayed the night at one of the quaint villages. It was so dark and we were so high in altitude that every star could be seen sparkling vividly and the milky way was amazingly clear.
Next day we saw lamas grazing only feet from our lunch spot. We saw lakes of many different colours- red, blue and green and with beautiful mirror effects. Most were populated by flamingos. Day 3, at 5000m altitude we were taken to the geisers. Far more exciting than i expected and we had the benefit of not being held back by safety ropes or any other such nonsense. We were free to walk amongst them as close as we liked, i think the photos and video tell all (except the overwhelming smell of sulphur).
And then on day 4 we arrived on the salt flats in time for the sunrise. Wow, an awesome unending expance of brilliant white. Here again the pictures tell all, never have i seen my shadow so long. We worked hard on the perspective pics (a must at any salt flat) so do enjoy!

Next La Paz and the Titi lake.....

Similar topics probably floating around, but when I needed I can't find what I was looking for at our board.
I were preparing to do first WRX coolant replacement on my own (I did many other car though through the years, so not a beginner here), just wanted to read the correct procedure for this particular car.
Here what I did past weekend and it works perfect for me, in case some one looking to do it without extra complication.
But first:
When in doubt, have a qualified technician or maintenance shop perform your engine coolant change.
Ok, now we go:
Drive up on ramps (Sears product), secure the car and remove engine undercover.
Pull car back on the driveway (off ramps in order to drain more old coolant being on straight surface instead of incline).
Place wide pan under drain valve location.
Under the hood:
Remove black plastic air intake.
Move power steering reservoir away, without disconnecting, just slide of the clip.
Now you have more space to open drain valve. Despite many complaining about this thing not opening easy, I have had no problem, did it with my fingers only.
Open drain valve, make sure it stays in place, do not need to remove it completely, just make sure you have sufficient flow.
Open filler tank, it will allow better, stronger flow, therefore faster drain old stuff.
I then remove plastic coolant reservoir and flashed with distilled water. Placed back.
It took around 30-40 min for coolant stop drips.
Next, tighten drain valve back, do not overdue.
I use Subaru Long Life coolant (undiluted), mixed 50/50 with distilled water. I prepare 2 gal total along with coolant conditioner (got to shake this lil thingy hard).
Open radiator cap (I know many against this, but works perfect for me, as it did on other cars, made process fast as well).
I first fill the rad, until it full, then close and never open again during the procedure.
Next I pour conditioner, following by the coolant to the filler tank, until it full.
Then fill the coolant reservoir up to the full mark. Cap it.
Now only filler reservoir is open.
Start the car. Put the heater and fan on. (IMPORTANT:All the time monitor temp gauge during whole procedure, if its up from usual readings, shut off car immediately and wait until it cool off, then add coolant and continue.)
Let it idle for 10-15 min, may be more if you see large air bubbles in the filler reservoir neck. If you see coolant level goes down, replacing the air, pour more, until the level stays.
I play with 2 large radiator hose, gently press them, helping air to leave the system faster.
Place back filler reservoir cap, check if no leaks from the drain valve, replace engine undercover and go for the short ride, may be 10 min, monitor temp closely, make sure it's not spiking, if it goes up, stop the car and let it cool off. It is a good idea to take coolant mixture with you, in case you stop after the temp spike and then cooling off, you want to add the coolant.
Thats about it. When you back home, let car cool off for several hours and check the filler res and coolant res (important, do not open radiator anymore). Add more mixture if need it (it will).
Check on the mornings and evenings for next couple days, until coolant level stays close to the full mark in coolant reservoir.
It is a good procedure to keep coolant mixture in your car for up to 5 days, to make sure no more need it. I had experience with very stubborn air bubbles trapped in some cars for several days, until it finally replaced by coolant.
I hope this help, to the ones who DIY

Field Notes: Using 211 for Coordinated Entry
February 22, 2012
In many communities, the best way to find help if you are experiencing a housing crisis is to start with a long list of phone numbers. You start from the top, and hope that you fit the requirements, that they have enough resources to serve you, that they are open on Tuesdays. It is exhausting work for the household and an inefficient use of resources for the providers.
Some communities have moved to centralize the process households use to access services. This is called coordinated entry, and it has many advantages, like improving the efficiency of a community's homelessness assistance system and improving its ability to perform well on HEARTH Act outcomes. Additionally, in the interim rules for the new Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program, HUD explains that it will include in an upcoming rule for the Continuum of Care program, a requirement for communities to develop and implement a coordinated entry system.
As guest blogger Iain DeJong mentioned last week, the Center for Capacity Building at the Alliance held a training during our February conference on Coordinated Entry, the materials from which are now online. During the training, a number of communities had questions about training 211 operators in their communities to handle intake, assessment, and referrals to services. This may be a good model for larger communities, or those without transit systems that make it possible for households to travel to a centralized location.
Alameda County in California is one example of a community that has used their 211 line as a part of a decentralized coordinated intake. People experiencing a housing crisis can call 211 for help, which conducts an initial screening before referring a person to one of eight Housing Resource Centers (HRCs) that can provide prevention, rapid re-housing, and other services. All HRCs use the same assessment tool, data collection methods, and targeting strategy for financial assistance, case management, prevention, rapid re-housing, and other housing services. Staff from the HRCs meet monthly for in-person meetings and also communicate online.
The slides from the coordinated entry training can be found on our website, as well as our brief about coordinated entry, "One Way In: The Advantages of Introducing System- Wide Coordinated Entry for Homeless Families."
Is your community looking at implementing a coordinated entry system? Let us know in the comments!

Land ownership to change as special use deeds expire
Sixty-one special use deeds will expire at year's end in Crow Wing County.
The deeds are for public land across the county — the fairgrounds, landfills, airport, playgrounds, city parks, baseball diamonds and Brainerd School District's athletic fields.
The deeds allowed public use of tax-forfeited land, in some cases for a long time. A 2010 state law put an expiration date on special use deeds. On Jan. 1, 2015, those deeds 30 years or older will expire. That means the land will become the property of the special use deed holder if it's been used for the public purpose it was designed for, if not, it will go back to tax-forfeited status.
The county issued 99 special use deeds on tax-forfeited lands. About two-thirds, of those special use deeds are set to expire. Those 61 special use deeds are on 199 parcels. The land is in Pequot Lakes, Riverton, Jenkins, Ironton, Crosby, Cuyuna, Baxter, Breezy Point, Brainerd, Trommald and townships of Deerwood, Fairfield, Ideal, Irondale, Lake Edward, Platte Lake and in the county itself.
With this state action, the athletic fields will become the property of the school district.
"Where is the Legislature coming from, I don't get it," said Commissioner Paul Thiede.
"It doesn't make sense to me either," said Commissioner Rosemary Franzen. The county will be sending out letters to the affected special use deed holders. If the deed holder wanted to continue, there is a possibility the special use deed could be reissued, but the state's goal is to get away from the practice.
Administrator Tim Houle said he was speculating the lease holders, who are the ones paying for site improvements, wanted clarity for the property and sought the action with the state.
Kirk Titus, Land Services supervisor, said the vast majority of special use deeds are being used for the intended public purpose.
"I see it as a positive," Titus said of the change. "I don't see a lot of negative here. It helps clean up our records."
Crow Wing County issued the first special use deed in 1944 to Brainerd for the airport expansion. The county manages forest on the land and it covers the French Rapids access to the Mississippi River and the cross country ski trail.
Commissioner Paul Koering asked how this could affect Payment in Lieu of Taxes or PILT. The state makes PILT payments to offset the cost of maintaining and loss of tax base for natural resource lands.
In 2013, the state PILT payment to Crow Wing County was $527,858. Houle said the reasonable presumption is the county will lose payment on 3,000 acres.

Our photo of the week shows the lovely arches of Montreal's Chinatown. It was shared by Flickr star Richard McGuire. Mr. McGuire has some great shots of the Victoria rooftops of the Plateau, Montreal architecture and more!
Thanks Richard!
Montreal's Chinatown is located primarily on La Gauchetière Street (between St. Laurent & St. Viateur Blvds). It occupies roughly the area of a city block. It's a pedestrian walkway, making it more inviting for a stroll. Chinatown is a vibrant nightspot for locals and tourists alike thanks to a special regulation by Montreal's city officials which slates the sector as a tourist area, thus allowing it to continue operations well into the evening.
Submit your Montréal pictures to our MONTRÉAL BUZZ FLICKR GROUP.

EHEA Official Master's: Research Master in Art and Design
Informative Session:
08/06/17 at 6pm at EINA
The educational aim of the Master of Research in Art and Design can be summarized in the provision of skills related to research: to think, rethink, argue and write about issues and problems of the theory and practice of art and design in a broad sense, highlighting performative practices, sound design and research and analysis in creative cuisine. It is not merely a theoretical master, neither purely a master in production or creation, but rather a mixed territory of artistic research. It combines three praxis: the artistic, the designing and the discoursing. Although we must distinguish the theory from the practice - each student builds its own research itinerary according to preference and background -, the primary concern is encompassing the continuity between theory and practice in the field of art and design, especially by incorporating the culinary discipline, all understood as forms of knowledge production resulting from a process of inquiry. Thus the master is structured around five major lines of research:
- The comparative study of the creative processes
- Gustatory aesthetics, creative cuisine and food design
- The sensory perception, the processes of meaning and social interaction (design of atmospheres, sound design and co-design)
- Memory environments, construction of past and future 5 The design of knowledge, data visualization and interfaces
The Master is a pioneer in the European Higher Education in the first two tracks and includes contributions shared with international universities on research areas in gustatory aesthetics and its practical experience through art and design. The location of the city of Barcelona, as a promoter of multiple movements of contemporary creativity , will reaffirm the development of some transversal sessions at the Joan Miró Foundation and the Picasso Museum , in a contemporary revisitation of creative processes of these two artists, both closely linked to the city.
As official Master adapted to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), it leads to the completion of a PhD. One of the options for continuity of the MURAD's program of studies is through a doctorate line of research in art and design included in the doctorate program in Philosophy of the UAB.

Module description
Module 1: Contemporary Thought I
Review of some of the theories and discussions on philosophy and the theory of art and design, of contemporary sociology and cultural anthropology, particularly the more relevant ones for a correct understanding and updating of the crossroads at which contemporary art and design find themselves.
Professorate: Dra. Jèssica Jaques, Dr. Lluís Nacenta, Dr. Gerard Vilar.
Module 2: Contemporary Art
Critical examination of the most significant recent artistic phenomena and their relationship with the artistic practices and other cultural practices of the last century, especially those of design, and focusing all those that exemplify the passage of the experimentation of the avant-garde to contemporary artistic research.
Professorate: Dr. Gerard Vilar, Dra. Laura Benítez, Dra. Tània Costa, Dr. Pol Capdevila, Dr. Miquel Molins, Dr. Valentín Roma.
Module 3: Contemporary Design
Research seminar on creation and innovation processes in relation to techno-cultural and socio-economic transformations that comprise current design. Particular attention will be given to the appearance of new fields within design practice, their presence in emerging economic sectors related to services and knowledge, and the hybridisation of design with cultural practices and the creative industries as a whole. Incorporating design into the project culture means tension between the present state of matters and expectations of future scenarios. Professional practices are often dominated by short-term future projections, but despite this, there is an exploration of future contexts which is inherent to design practice.
Professorate: Dra. Irma Arribas, Dr. Octavi Rofes.
Module 4: Artistic Research I
Seminars and workshops with artists and about artists and contemporary art movements given by well-known creators and specialists. The main theme is art as a form of thought and research into all types of anthropological, political and social questions which provides students with an overall cartography of these kinds of cognitive practices and how they function.
Professorate: Dr. Alex Arteaga, Dr. Pol Capdevila, Dra. Jèssica Jaques, Dr. Gerard Vilar.
####Module 5: Practices and Fields of Current Design I Critical analysis of new trends in design processes and their expansion into emerging fields and practices based on classification and valuation criteria constructed from institutions (museums, collections, publications).
Professorate: Dra. Elena Bartomeu, Dolors Soriano.
Module 6: Critique Workshop
Art and design critique workshop run by professional critics, the curator's department and other professionals in the art of writing. During the workshop, art and design critique analysis exercises will be conducted by well-known professionals and, most especially, weekly critique writing and review practices by the students.
Professorate: Dr. Àlex Mitrani, Dr. Joan Minguet.
Module 7: Design Culture
Review of certain theories and authors, who, from the theory of design, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology and other social sciences have helped enrich the theoretical frameworks of current design.
Professorate: Oriol Pibernat, Dr. Oriol Ventura.
Module 8: Practices and Fields of Current Design II
Conferences, workshops and seminars which take a critical look at the new trends in design processes and their expansion into emerging fields and practices. Specific fields will be studied which favour the confluence of thought, scientific knowledge, artistic proposals and everyday practices. We will look at how these make us review aesthetic concepts and how they are creating new professional categories.
Coordinator: Dra. Anna Pujadas
Module 9: Contemporary Thought II
A select and critical study of some of the discussions about the philosophy and theory of art and design that highlight the more distinctive traits of contemporary artistic practices, such as creativity, performativity, postmediality, intellectualisation and participation.
Professorate: Dra. Jèssica Jaques, Dr. Gerard Vilar, Dr. David Casacuberta, Dr. Pol Capdevila.
Module 10: Artistic Research II
Seminar on contemporary artists and artistic movements given by specialist creators and leading figures. The main topic is case analysis through which students learn how to distinguish when a project contributes to knowledge and to what extent.
Professorate: Dr. Alex Arteaga, Dr. David Casacuberta, Dra. Jèssica Jaques, Dr. Lluís Nacenta, Dr. Gerard Vilar.
Module 11: Final Master's Degree Project (FMP)
This consists of a research project of a theoretical or artistic type with an original focus that can be considered to contribute towards knowledge of the student's subject (FMP guide -in Spanish-).
Professorate: Dra. Sara Coscarelli, Dra. Tània Costa, Dr. Gerard Vilar.
The FMP is run by a programme lecturer. The FMP will consist of the writing and defence of the result of an original research project in the appropriate format for its presentation as a paper in an academic publication. Attached to this document will be a report detailing the research process followed, highlighting the contribution made by procedure and content which enable us to assess the quality of the research presented. All of the above will be a minimum of 40,000 words.
Given its nature, the Master's in Research in Art and Design may also possibly accept creatively undertaken and resolved artistic and design research projects that can be displayed publicly as FMPs. This FMP must be accompanied by a reasoned report on the project (including the proposal, the references cited and the detailed description of the production process) of a minimum of 25,000 words.
If the project takes the form of a paper, it must focus on a research issue that establishes and covers the importance of this issue in academic debates. This involves demonstrating:
- knowledge and critical understanding of the academic debates on the subject
- ability to focus the project on an agreed issue
- ability to establish connections between the theory and specific examples
In the case of artistic and design projects, the project supervisor, in agreement with the Master's coordinator, will decide on the suitability and characteristics of the project chosen by the student.

US Week in Review - Week ending 10 May 2012
The US Week in Review highlights this week's developments and emerging issues in the financial reporting world and gives you direct access to relevant technical accounting guidance and thought leadership produced by Ernst & Young.
Ernst & Young publications
Updated FRD on transfers and servicing of financial assets
We have updated our Financial reporting developments publication, Transfers and servicing of financial assets. This updated edition incorporates recent standard-setting activities, such as ASU 2011-03, Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements, which became effective 1 January 2012, for calendar year-end entities.
Practical matters for the c-suite - Would the redefinition of investment companies affect you?
Our new edition of Practical matters for the c-suite, Would the redefinition of investment companies affect you?, complements our Technical Line and To the Point publications on the FASB's exposure draft on investment companies and explores in more detail how the proposal would affect an organization's finance, tax and business processes. The Practical matters for the c-suite series is produced by our Financial Accounting Advisory Services (FAAS) group and is intended to help companies assess the potential effects of accounting proposals on their organizations.
Printed copies of Ernst & Young's FRD on fair value measurement can be ordered
We have updated our Financial Reporting Developments (FRD) publication, Fair Value Measurements, and prepared printed copies that you can now order from AccountingLink. Please fill out the order form to obtain a printed copy of the FRD.
Standard Setter updates
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB
9 May 2012 FASB meeting
Accounting for financial instruments: impairment - The FASB tentatively decided that the impairment allowance for a debt instrument modified due to the borrower's financial difficulties (a troubled debt restructuring under current US GAAP) should capture lifetime expected credit losses. The Board decided that a modified debt instrument is a continuation of the existing instrument and should be evaluated for credit deterioration in accordance with the instrument's original terms.
Disclosures about liquidity risk and interest rate risk - The Board clarified that all entities would supplement the proposed tabular disclosures with a narrative discussion of significant period-to-period changes in the timing and amounts disclosed within the tables. This discussion would also include any actions taken during the current period to manage liquidity and interest rate risk.
In determining whether an entity or reportable segment would provide the financial or nonfinancial institution disclosures, the FASB tentatively decided an entity or reportable segment that earns its primary source of income through managing the difference between returns received on financial assets and returns paid on financial liabilities (e.g., banks, insurance companies) would be considered a financial institution. Entities that hold substantially all of their financial assets at fair value through net income (e.g., investment companies, brokers and dealers in securities) would not be considered a financial institution for purposes of these disclosures.
For additional details of the Board's discussions, see the FASB's Action Alert.
Upcoming meetings and webcasts

Education sessions
See the FASB calendar for upcoming education sessions. No decisions are made at these sessions.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Retrospective application of comprehensive income standard in a new registration statement
Public companies with calendar year-ends were required to adopt the new standard on comprehensive income (ASU 2011-05, as amended by ASU 2011-12) in their 2012 first-quarter Form 10-Q with retrospective application. Thereafter, when those companies file a new or amended registration statement (except Form S-8), they have three options with respect to their historical annual financial statements (if the change is material):
- Incorporate by reference the historical annual financial statements from their 2011 Form 10-K if they early adopted the new comprehensive income standard
- File revised historical annual financial statements reflecting the retrospective application of the new comprehensive income standard (including via a Form 8-K that is incorporated by reference)
- Incorporate by reference the historical annual financial statements from their 2011 Form 10-K and provide the following information in a selected financial data type table (either in the prospectus or a Form 8-K that is incorporated by reference):
- Net income
- Components of other comprehensive income that would be on the face of the financial statements under ASU No. 2011-05, as amended
- Total other comprehensive income
- Total comprehensive income
The staff of the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance would not object to the third alternative if the registrant concludes and its auditor agrees that there is no need to retrospectively revise previously issued annual financial statements that are incorporated by reference into the registration statement.
Similar considerations apply to fiscal year public companies once they adopt the new comprehensive income standard.
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
IFRS Trustees' review of IFRS Interpretations Committee (IASB)
The Trustees of the IFRS Foundation have published their findings following a review of the efficiency and effectiveness of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). The primary recommendations of the review include:
- Employing a broader range of "tools" enabling IFRIC to be more responsive to requests for assistance
- Revising the criteria used to determine which issues IFRIC should address
- Improving IFRIC's communications regarding issues that it decides not to address
- Expanding IFRIC's outreach and improving the transparency regarding its agenda decisions
CAQ publishes report on role of the auditor workshop
The Center for Audit Quality (CAQ) recently published a report summarizing its March 12 workshop on the evolving role of the auditor. The workshop was built on a series of CAQ roundtables held with a range of stakeholders during 2011. Workshop participants explored key questions discussed at the roundtables, including the benefits of auditor involvement with financial information disclosed by management outside of the audited financial statements including Management's Discussion and Analysis, earnings releases and key performance indicators.
Updated Internal Control - Integrated Framework to be issued early in 2013
In a recent press release, the Committee on Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) announced that the updated Internal Control - Integrated Framework (ICIF or Framework) is expected to be released during the first quarter of 2013. The framework originally was scheduled for release in the fall of 2012, but COSO has delayed the release until early 2013 due to the volume of comments received on the proposal.

Ok, I have been running in Asics 2120s for a while and absolutely love them.
I looked on asics' website and found out they have a Trail version of the popular 2120 (now 2130)
this excited me, but I am worried about the durability, do you think these shoes will hold up to 400+ miles of hard trail use?
hiking 25+ miles a day is alot different than running 10 miles a day… which has not been a problem on my 2120 road shoes, even on trails
If not… what shoe is comprable to this shoe in stability/comfort? like I said.. the 2120s fit my feet perfectly,fix my pronation problems, and i love them, but if they will fall apart, the are not worth anything
I bought some montrail continental divides… Im trying them out, but I havent been completely pleased so far, but I am waiting to judge until I have broken them in a little more
anyone know how using an orthotic with a neutral shoe compares to using a shoe built for pronation stability?

The Great FPP Kodak Film Giveaway!
If there's one thing that FPP likes to do it's to give away film!
Since The Film Photography Podcast's inception back in 2009, film giveaways have been constant.
A majority of film requests have come from students and many times film was supplemented with entire 35mm SLR packages!
above: Image by SVA NYC student Hunter White. Hunter was not only a recipient of film and camera package but has also been a guest on The Film Photography Podcast.
First giveaway batches of giveaway film were from my own personal stash and soon after our first episodes an amazing thing happened, listeners starting donating!
That's Eastman Kodak's Scott DiSabato and me at the PDN Expo NYC. Image by Dan Domme
In 2011 Kodak got involved with our first Portra giveaway in Summer 2011 followed by their generous donation of fresh film in October 2011 and a massive batch of expired film in December 2011.
We'll it's almost March 2012 and that means all the entry forms are in and we've started the intensive shipping process.
So, if you ever entered out giveaway contest there's a good chance you'll be getting a package in the mail soon.
Sadly, our request for film massively outnumbers our film supply so it's all being sent out on a the first-come, first serve rule.
Happy shooting!
- Michael Raso, Founder - FPP
Thanks to Eastman Kodak and our amazing podcast listeners who support the FPP by donating!
Would you like to donate? Follow the DONATE link.
Check out our Internet Radio Show - The Film Photography Podcast!
Wow! These are GREAT news! Hope I'll win some of this film! :D
Don't stop the great work and I wanted to thank you because you helped me to have the guts to build my own darkroom and do some black and white processing! I even do some for my friends! Thank you FPP!
Holy sh*t Mike. This is a fantastic article on two fronts, the first being that you used my photograph (hehe... just kidding). And the second is just how truly amazing the FPP community really is. You guys not only re-juvinated my love of Polaroid, but of photography as a whole.
You guys really are the best. AND should you decide to send me some 120 E6... I could test the power of 6x9 chromes with my brand new-old Fuji "Texas Leica" rangefinder. Then you'd be even more awesomer. Thank you for keeping us crazy film shooters motivated and entertained!
Guess what showed up on the doorstep today? What a pleasant surprise! And I must say that FPP has really outdone itself this time! Here's what was inside:
1) Group Shot of 2011 NYC Meet UP, signed by Mr. Raso, himself
2) FPP Store Flier
3) Packing Slip with handwritten description
4) one roll Kodak Tri-X 400 24 exp. in 35mm
5) one roll Arist.EDU 400 24 exp. in 35mm
6) one roll Fuji Neopan 100 ACROS 36 exp. in 35mm
7) one roll Kodak Tri-X 400 in 120
8) one roll Kodak BW400CN in 120
9) two FPP stickers
Thanks, Mike. This is truly amazing!
I got a package, too! Not as many rolls, 4-but 4 FREE rolls and 4 rolls of film I've never used before!
Thanks, guys!
Hi Folks,
Sign-up deadline passed. The response was overwhelming. FPP will be shipping out on a first come, first serve basis til we run out of film.
To get in on giveaways, I suggest that you tune in to the Film Photography Podcast ( http://filmphotographyproject.com/podcast ). Listen in or check out the show notes for new giveaways.

On survival models, others can help much better than I.
When R-squared is mentioned, I reach for my prejudices.
The first thing to do is
. search rsquared, faq
for all kinds of (indirectly) relevant discussion.
In a nutshell, there is no such thing as "the R-squared".
Some commands calculate measures that are, or are
analogous to, a squared correlation between observed and
fitted (predicted). Some commands calculate measures
that are based on a comparison of likelihoods. Other
commands calculate neither. Some of these measures
are honestly labelled "pseudo", although why such
measures should be taken seriously is often unclear.
The desire to encapsulate all the merits and demerits
of a model in a single measure really is rather primitive,
although most of us cannot resist most of the time.
Depending on what the problem is, two sets of estimates
can be compared directly, via some simple plot or by
looking at differences, ratios, etc.
