Dear Statalist,
A bug was recently reported in xtgraph by Natacha
I have posted a fix to Kit Baum (version 2.02), which should
now be available in the usual way via -findit xtgraph-.
Paul Seed
> Dear users,
I'm trying to graph medians with xtgraph, but it doesn't work, even without any specific options. This is the error message I get, which I don't understand:
-- xtgraph ta, group(failure_type) av(median) --
unrecognized command: "Central fraction and rank = invalid command name
Do you know what may be the problem? I've tried this with many variables and it still doesn't work (although the arithmetic and geometric means do work).
Many thanks,

Chef Michael Hazlewood and Manager Alex Thorp brought a little freshness to Lordship Lane with their new restaurant and wine shop, Toasted. The stripped walls and exposed brick create a relaxed old-world feel that makes for a pleasant dining experience. Over 200 bottles of wine adorn the walls on simple wooden shelves and the wood fire oven in the back of the dining room spreads delicious aromas throughout the space.
I loved that you can see the chefs making your food from the dining room. It is a more personal dining experience and it attests to the freshness of the food. In the second dining room there are three 300 litre tanks filled with wine directly sourced from Spain, the Loire Valley and Southern Rhone. A glass is only 2.55 and you can take some home in reusable bottles!
I visited Toasted on Wednesday for lunch and was greeted with an iced coffee, the perfect way to escape the summer heat. It was perfectly frothy and creamy. The chocolate made it creamy and the rum gave it a little kick.
I started with a green bean and yoghurt salad. It had a wonderful texture. The toasted almonds added a crunchy texture. The green beans were crisp and sweet. The salad was topped with a light and creamy yoghurt dressing that did not drown the vegetables, but complemented them.
Next up were courgettes. They were delicately sliced and beautifully arranged. The capers adorning the courgettes provided a rich, intense flavor and the lemon dressing added a nice tang that stays on your tongue for a bit. Everything was so fresh and prepared with care.
After my meal, I got to sit down with chef Michael Hazlewood, better known by his childhood name, Hazle. He was previously a Sioux chef at Attica in Australia and he said that is where he draws a lot of his inspiration from. Hazle has lived in London for two years and worked at Soif and The Green Man & French Horn before opening Toasted on 18 June , the first restaurant where he has been held the position of head chef. "There is a lot more access to the world here, but life is harder here," he said."I miss the people from home, but I prefer it here."
All of the items on the menu are made with the best ingredients available. Hazle said that much of the produce is hand picked from a market in France and shipped over immediately. "The main focus for me is freshness," he said. "It's all about the ingredients." That is why the menu changes so frequently. It is driven by the ingredients.
"Everything needs a bit of texture, a but of crunch. None of our food is heavy," Hazle said. "It's all about clean flavors and purity."
Toasted is located at 38 Lordship Lane, East Dulwich, London, SE22 8H. They are open from 8:30am – 12pm for breakfast, 12pm – 3pm for lunch and 6:30pm – 10pm for dinner.


text: I have a ceiling with joists running one way, and then furring strips running perpendicular under the joists. I have wires running parallel to the furring strips which are mostly stapled halfway up the joist, but at points they pass under the joists, but above where the drywall will eventually be. How do I protect these wires? Obviously metal nailing plates are usually the choice for wires close to the surface of wood... but in this case they are on the surface. I don't think the nailing plates are intended for this purpose and would squeeze the wire too much unless I bent them (creating a gap for the wire). I'd like to figure out the right way to protect the wire in this situation! (By the way, I know the normal alternative is to just drill a hole in the joists to pass through, but I was hoping to avoid this if possible)

"Koozie," "coolie," "cozy," "beer hugger"—whatever you call it, this handy accessory is more than a scuba suit for your favorite longneck. It delivers superior insulation to keep your brews cold and your hands dry. Plus, the unique wood grain finish offers a more sophisticated alternative to the traditional neon varieties seen at many a backyard barbecue.
I love these because my husband likes to drink his beer out of glass bottles (instead of cans) around our pool area and I am always freaking out about him being in the pool with glass. These have bottoms on them and they are snug up to the top of the glass bottles so I feel a little more at ease with all the guys hanging out by the pool with glass :) plus they look pretty swanky too!5
This is simple. Keeps your beer or drink cold, looks good, and if someone asks where you got it you can talk about birchbox. It is a great item to put in the monthly box (thats how I got mine) and is very useful for when you are out with friends and are enjoying a drink that you want to keep cold.5

I received these in my box a few months ago, and they are the most comfortable underwear I've ever worn. I have since ordered from the MeUndies website, and I would recommend them to anyone.5

Hate is a Strong Word
2nd Place in Derby #343: Patterns, with 211 votes!
Is this what the later levels of Ecco the Dolphin look like? No, seriously. I'm asking. I've never made it past the first two screens.
You know what, I don't know why I even brought it up. Because just thinking about that terrible, awful, good-for-nothing game. When I was a kid, I went to the Pine Plains Pharmacy and rented the cartridge for my Sega Genesis not once, not twice, not thrice, but FOUR TIMES! And each time I thought, I'm sure I'll get it this time, but NO! No friggin' way! I'm just hanging out all happy, then there's the explosion or whatever, and then I'm in the dark murky waters with some jellyfish and THAT IS THE END OF IT.
I've heard about levels where you fight robots. I've heard there are actual bosses and things to do. What a magical land that must've been. What a wonderful, fantastic, happy place. Would've loved to see it...

Black knight bowbenders..UBNJ
I bought my first bowtech from these guys.. AWESOME!!! Thier prices cannot be touched here at the local shops for everything they give you. My bow DID come exactly as stated. READY TO HUNT out of the box. I did however support the local guy on my second Bowtech purchase. I'd rather see the my local bow shop stay in business then support someone in another state. However, it sucks when you walk into a store and they are charging $3.50 for a screw in step when you can buy them on the internet for $1.30 a piece. I wish the local shops could be a little more competitive. My READY TO HUNT package from Hunters Friend would have cost me over $800.00 with accessories, arrows, broadheads, hard case, etc.. I paid $500.00 at the time. out the door shipping included NO TAX. . I sold the bow for $550.00 without the arrows and case on ebay.. That's geting your money's worth and then some... Like I said I wish the local dealers could be a little more competitive. I guess the rent in Jersey is TOO HIGH for the local archery shops to compete. I will continue to support my local shop as mucha as possible but it's tough with these kinds of savings..

The campground we are staying at
is located on the historic Route 66, and has been in business in one form or
another since the late 1940's; and to showcase its heritage they have several
vintage campers and a 1949 Hudson Commodore, all of which we had to
photograph. Our first stop for the day
was the "Sandia Peak Aerial Tram" located to the east of Albuquerque. On a 20 minute cable car ride we went from
the base at 6,559 feet above sea level to the summit at 10,378 feet, a
temperature averaging 20 degrees cooler and an ecosystem featuring large
ponderosa pine trees
provided fantastic views of the mountain side and canyons that can be seen only
from the tram car. At the summit we were
treated to views of Albuquerque, the surrounding valley and vistas stretching
beyond; unfortunately because of the forest fires in Colorado and New Mexico
there was a haze that hung in the valley that limited the distance that we
could see. We took a short hike along
the ridge trail enjoying the mountain air and the forest on the east side and
had wonderful views of the valley below from several rock outcroppings. Also on the hike we came across a Mule Deer
grazing on mountain grass, we watched for several minutes and approached to
within 20 yards before he slowly moved off.
The tram car ride back down was just as fantastic as the ride up. Our next stop was at "Old Town" Albuquerque;
this is a section of the old city that has been converted into a collection of
shops and galleries selling clothing, art works, jewelry and souvenirs
appearance and functionality was the Spanish Mission that has evolved into a
large Catholic Church. "Old Town" was a disappointment
to both of us. Our final point of
interest today was the "Petroglyph National Monument", a 17 mile line of
volcanic rock on which various Native Americans scratched their symbols into
the rock. There are over 20,000 images
etched into the stone, and it is estimated that most of them were made 400 to
700 years ago, but some may be 2,000 to 3,000 years old; most are not accessible
to the public but many are. There are
several hikes originating from 3 different points, we chose to take two short
hikes in the Boca Negra Canyon. Unlike
many other Petroglyph sites here we were able to get right up to the rock; it
was amazing to be able to look at the carvings so close that you could see
every detail.

What's all the fuss from the 2012 USGA U. S. Open? Tiger Woods, No. 3 on the FedEx Rankings with seventy-three career wins finished Friday tied for the lead with a score of -1 in the 2012 U. S. Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco.
Well, multitude of articles would be talking about "How he isn't back," how badly he is playing, and it's just bad karma for him. The talk from "when" would he ever win another golf major, would turn into "if" he ever would. Camera footage would show his dropped club, or scowl, and even his last major win, the 2008 U. S. Open, showcasing the specialness, strength, and competitiveness of his one knee spectacular finish, would be canned.
Even if he made the cut and was not in contention, the aforementioned would result. The only difference is that you would barely see any live footage of him; you might not even know he was still playing. Is there too much ado on Tiger, and not enough for everyone else?
Four top twenty players: Bubba Watson, #5 on the FedEx Rankings with 4 career wins missed the cut yesterday by one shot, Rory McIlroy, #6 on the FedEx Rankings with three career wins missed by 23 shots, Luke Donald #13 on the FedEx Rankings with five career wins was 36 over, and Dustin Johnson, #18 on the FedEx Rankings with six career wins was one over the cut. Their only mention was, "Notable Players Who Missed the U. S. Open Cut." There were no long segments on how badly they were playing; no scrutiny or up close shots of every shot, action, or emotion; or "Let's write them off for the rest of their careers."
What is it about Woods that gets everyone into an uproar? He puts his long pants on like everyone else and is competing on a professional level. Yet, we know very little about the other golfer's personal lives, we haven't seen footage of them eating an entire banana, spitting, cursing, or dropping a club. Not all of them do such things but each probably has done something that was newsworthy other than their play.
Jack Nicklaus had a twenty major drought that covered six years before he got to 18 major wins compared to Woods' eleven majors drought over four years, if he won the U. S. Open this weekend.
Jason Dufner, #1 on the FedEx Rankings with two career wins is 3-over par and Hunter Mahan, #2 on the FedEx Rankings with five career wins is 3 over par for the U. S. Open. Will we hear long debates on their futures or how poorly they played if they don't win?
Let's not hear so much fuss to fill air time or paper space unless we do it equally. Or should we? Woods has seventy-three career wins tying him with Nicklaus with fourteen majors at 30. If you add up all of the career wins of the people previously mentioned, except Nicklaus, who Woods has tied at 73 wins; they add up to only twenty-five wins. So all the fuss means he's special but the media shouldn't overreact until he finally finishes the deal at a major for the first time in four years and wins his 15th major tournament at the Olympic Club and 74th win.
That now seems moot, however, after Woods shot a five-over par on Saturday and fell off the pace. However, the media will likely do the same on Sunday and overanalyze him on Monday. Here we go again.

"They quickly made a name for themselves. René Herse was working very hard, but most of all, he just loved beautiful bicycles. When he was at an event, surrounded by gleaming machines, he was beaming." (Paulette Porthault, one René Herse's first customers)
1930s: Technical Trials
René Herse entered the bicycle world with a splash at the 1938 Technical Trials. He rode for Narcisse, but on a bike equipped with his own components. Herse's bike weighed just 7.94 kg (17.5 lb), fully equipped with fenders, lights, racks and wide tires. The Technical Trials were epic events with the goal was to find the best bicycle. Points were awarded for light weight and desirable features. After the initial judging, the bikes had to prove themselves over hundreds of kilometers of rough mountain roads. Any defect incurred penalties. The bike with the most points won.
In 1938, René Herse's bike came second – his Stronglight bottom bracket had developed play. From then on, Herse's bikes always placed first or second. The Trials advanced bicycle design like no other event. Builders pioneered aluminum cranks, cartridge bearings in hubs and bottom brackets, cantilever brakes, and low-rider racks. The Trials showed that bicycles could combine light weight and performance with excellent reliability.
1940s: Poly de Chanteloup
During the 1940s, the Poly de Chanteloup hillclimb race was the most popular cycling event in France. Originally the Poly conceived as a test for different methods of changing gears. By the 1940s, the Poly had become a race over a challenging hillclimb course near Paris. More than 100,000 spectators turned out to watch professional racers, randonneurs, and mixed tandem teams climb the steep hill of Chanteloup, fly down descent of the Barbannerie, and then race along the Seine River to start their next lap.
Winning the Poly not only showed athletic prowess, but also the qualities of the bicycle. René Herse won the randonneur and tandem categories of the Poly more often than any other builder. Several times, Herse's tandems set the fastest lap time, beating even the peloton of the professional racers.
1950s: Paris-Brest-Paris
Starting in 1891, the race from Paris to Brest and back captured the imagination of cyclists. To cover the 1200 kilometers (765 miles) non-stop, racers had to ride day and night. Neither wind nor rain could stop them. Even by the standards of the heroic age of cycling, Paris-Brest-Paris was a race of epic proportions.
By the 1950s, the pros had abandoned the long distances, but randonneurs were eager to take up the challenge. For some, the goal was simply to finish within the time limit, but at the front, the ride still resembled a race. The Challenge des Constructeurs was a prize awarded to the builder whose riders finished fastest. René Herse won it almost every time. The records set on René Herse's bikes and tandems stood for decades.
1960s: Eight Times French Champion
Lyli, the daughter of René Herse, was one of the strongest female cyclists of all time. After setting record after record in randonneur events and in the Poly de Chanteloup hillclimb race, Lyli entered the ranks of women racers.
Over the next decade-and-a-half, Lyli Herse won no fewer than eight French championships before she retired from racing to work full-time in her father's shop. To this day, she holds a number of course records, including the Puy de Dôme hillclimb that often figures in the Tour de France.
1970s: World Championships
After retiring from racing, Lyli Herse was approached by young racers who asked for training advice. Never one to do things half-heartedly, Lyli formed a racing team. She trained the young women, while her father equipped them with René Herse bikes. Lyli's protégées continued her winning ways, racking up French and even two world championships.
René Herse died in 1974, the same year that Geneviève Gambillon won the worlds in Montreal. Herse left his shop to Lyli and her husband, Jean Desbois, who was Herse's best framebuilder. They continued to build René Herse bikes, carefully updating them to keep up with the times.
1980s: Superlight Bikes
Jean Desbois had started to work for René Herse during the 1940s, when Desbois still was a teenager. For a decade, he had honed his skills with Herse, before taking a job in a precision machine shop. Desbois returned to Herse in the early 1970s, where he immediately took over the framebuilding operation once again.
At the 1981 Paris Bike Show, Desbois presented a superlight bike. The frame was filled-brazed from Reynolds 753 tubing, a material that was very light, but notoriously difficult to braze without lugs. Desbois was one of the few who even attempted to build a bike like this. It was a clear sign that René Herse still was leading the pack.
Health problems forced Desbois and Lyli Herse to close the famous shop in 1984. When the word spread, faithful customers rushed to order what they thought would be the last René Herses ever made. Desbois had to work an additional two years to fill these orders, before the shop finally closed.
2000s: Rebirth of Cycles René Herse
During the early 2000s, Jan Heine became a friend of Lyli Herse and Jean Desbois. He researched the history of René Herse and learned from Desbois about the secrets of making René Herse bikes and components.
During one of Jan's visits, Lyli Herse asked him whether he was interested in continuing the Herse tradition. At the time, Jan was busy with Bicycle Quarterly and other pursuits, so he brokered a contract between Lyli Herse and Mike Kone of Colorado, who bought the René Herse brand and started to make René Herse bikes again.
A few years later, Compass Cycles had been formed, and Jan wanted to re-introduce René Herse's superb cranks and other components. Compass bought back all rights from Mike Kone, so that René Herse components could be made again. Mike Kone offers René Herse frames under a license from Compass Cycles.
Owning the René Herse brand is a privilege and also a responsibility. Jan works closely with René Herse's daughter Lyli (on the left with Jan in 2016) to carry René Herse's vision into the future.
Read more about the fascinating story of René Herse and the cycling culture that surrounded him in Bicycle Quarterly Press' lavishly illustrated book: René Herse: The Bikes • The Builder • The Riders.

|Great Replacement Battery
User: M. Q, Oct 31, 2014
|I was happy to find a new replacement battery when my Blackberrys original battery started failing. It was reasonably priced, arrived quickly, and crackberry.com followed up upon shipment. So far, the new battery is performing well, just as the original battery did when I first got the phone.

West Indies collapse to lose by 51 runs
Page Tools
The West Indies lost their last seven wickets for 34 runs to slump to a 51-run loss to Australia A in the one-day cricket match at Bellerive Oval today.
Chasing 244 for victory, the West Indies looked to be cruising at 3-158.
Victorian skipper Cameron White then took a sharp diving catch at short cover to get rid of Ramnaresh Sarwan for 35 and the rot set in quickly for the tourists.
The last six wickets fell for 19 with the tail providing scant resistance.
Wavell Hinds top-scored with 53 and his opening partner Chris Gayle made a quickfire 43.
Earlier in the day, Michael Hussey top-scored for Australia A with 70 after stand-in West Indies skipper Shivnarine Chanderpaul had won the toss.
White made 59 and Brett Lee (23) and Nathan Hauritz (24) chimed in with valuable contributions down the order.
The West Indies had won the opening game on Saturday at Bellerive Oval by four wickets.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Marketplace Archive 2' started by ironic23, Jun 10, 2007.
Just in case you don't know, its forbidden on this forum to ask for a buyer to pay paypal fees.
Thanks for all the comments.
UPDATE: Turns out that Apple has decided to replace my old MBP core duo with the new SR MBP due to various problems, so i will be returning the SR MBP that i ordered.
However, the replacement SR MBP that i'm getting, scheduled for delivery June 13th is still up for sale. It's the same specs as what i ordered, 15" matte, 2.4ghz, 2gb ram, 256mb vram, etc.
If anyone is interested in this, i will be glad to negotiate the price with you. It will definitely be lower than the suggested retail price of $2499. Thank you.
No it isn't.
Please keep comments limited to the item mentioned in the feeler. As with all items, we at MR recommend that buyers and sellers both use caution and common sense, but there's no need to continually mention that.
i read the marketplace rules for this forum, and it doesn't mention ANYTHING about asking the buyer to pay paypal fees as being forbidden, or even discouraged.
other people in this forum and others (macnn forums) say that it is against the rules/forbidden, but it is not.
please link to it, and if i am mistaken, i will amend my postings and apologize for the misinformation.
it is simply another charge/fee that the seller can either accept as a cost of doing business, or use it as a negotiable item.
not everyone wants to give 3% of the sales to paypal. i would encourage people to use google checkout. from what i read, google checkout has suspended fees for the rest of the 2007. it isn't as extensive as paypal, but it is based on the seller sending an invoice to the buyer, and the buyer paying the invoice.
as for "refusing shipment," online vendors have told me to use it if i ordered an item but wanted to cancel atfter it was shipped. to them, it is easier than paying for another "pre-paid shipping label" depending on how consumer-friendly the store/vendor is.
i'm not trying to scam anyone, i'm abiding by the rules that others have set out.
the price is fair, but i'd recommend selling it (or getting a committment from someone to buy it) before amazon.com gets them. they typically offer a $150 rebate, but they aren't due to get them in stock for another 2-4 weeks
I just got the replacement MBP today, which surprisingly arrived before the one i ordered.
Anyways, having said that i'll be putting this up for sale as i return the other MBP.
One thing though is that the AppleCare protection plan from the old core duo MBP will be applied to this new MBP (i'm talking to Apple to try and get a pro-rated refund on that, so that will be the case for now). This AppleCare protection plan is valid till 04/28/2009. That kinda means that if you buy this laptop, you're losing out on a year's worth of AppleCare protection.
Because of that, i'm willing to let this brand new, sealed MBP with the AppleCare protection till 2009 (will be transferred to the new buyer) for $2400 shipped if you use a money order or $2468 if you want to use paypal.
I'll let this offer be up for 24-48 hours. If i don't get any bites, i'll just keep the MBP. Cheers.
p/s: you'll have to add a little more for insurance, thanks.
Here are some pictures:
True, but it IS against Paypal rules. See Rule 4.6.
Thank you for correcting me.
And if you want to do this, be smart, just add it into your asking price.
I don't know if this is fraudulent, but if you don't give someone a notice, like a seller on here, and you refuse shipment, it might be annoying. The one time it was mentioned was with DHL and Insurian (a phone insurance company) and they instructed me to not do that and that if I did they would charge me extra, but they also had prepaid shipping labels that they had given me for the return package.
I just think that as long as you give notice and the seller prefers it there is no problem. But if you just no longer want ot pay for something and you refuse shipment and tell your credit card company not to pay it seems not necessiarly fraudulent, but jacka** like.
Alright, last try today (06/14/2007). If it doesn't sell then i'm just gonna keep it.
Price: $2350 shipped w/ AppleCare till 2009 via Paypal.
Bonus: Will throw in a Zero Shock case for the MBP. Link.
Offer ends: 10pm EDT, Thursday (06/14/2007).
Thanks for looking. Cheers.
Looks like i'm keeping the MBP. Thanks for the interest and such.
Mods, please lock/close this thread. Thanks. Cheers.
Thats a shame, I would have paid asking price. Oh well
well its still sealed if you're interested. havent gotten to opening it yet.

Thank goodness you don't have to own as many shoes as Imelda Marcos to feel like you're on top of the world! Although it is nice to own a few gorgeous pairs… Montréal is home to amazing trinkets for your feet! From flip-flops to fringe shoes, wedges, hot hue sandals, cut-out shoe boots and porno super-woman shoes…we've got it all. And then some! Summer is here, and my shoe game is ON! Is yours? One of my favourite Montréal boutiques is U&I, situated on St-Laurent Street. You'll have to reach deep into your pockets, but trust me, those Chie Mihara suede shoes are well worth it! Check out my Flikr account to see the Viviane Westwood shoes I also tried at U&I! So cute!!! Don't want to spend too much? What about these awesome studded gladiator flats found for $95 at Olam? The gladiator trend has been around for a little while now, but it has never looked so good. Match it with a beautiful tribal print and you're ready to go! Scarpa is another great stop for shoes. Only a two-minute walk from Olam on St-Denis Street, you will be able to find some unique shoes from the brand Atelier, which is the product of Montréal's very own Mark Azoulay.

Raven On A Hot Tin Roof
1st place in Derby #289: Literary Classics, with 363 votes!
"The Raven" By Tennessee Williams
(At the rise of the curtain a young man sits in an green leather chair of solid but not outré manufacture. Outside night has fallen -- the type of night typical in its atypicality. The young man, whose forehead shows the first signs of care and age, sighs in tortured contemplation and drops his chin to his chest. Sleep beckons but will not come.)
THEDUS (to himself)
Aw... Aw, hell with it, then.
(A sharp rapping is heard at the chamber door [a heavy, oaken affair]. The man starts -- a glimmer of hope smoothing his brow before it is overcome by worldly cynicism.)
Who there? (a pause) Who's that a-tappin'?
(THEDUS opens the door with affected insouciance. Only darkness lies without.)
(Very much under his breath. Nearly inaudible) Lenore?
(Suddenly a RAVEN, unkept mid-molt though genteel in its way, swoops in. This swooping should communicate not only the RAVEN's old-world, hard-nose affect, but the early loss of a parent or spouse -- the scar tissue from some impossible breaking of emotional bonds.)
Hey now! Git outta here, now. I said git!
(THEDUS shoos the bird out the door)
I sure do miss my ex-wife, even though I'm a closeted homosexual.

From recluse to performer - Clare's story
18 October 2012 , 1:05 PM by Fiona Sewell
Imagine not leaving your home for 18 years, and I'm not talking about not going out much, but NEVER walking out your front door.
That was Clare Clifford's life.
Today things are very different.
After hearing about the Cairns choir, Song Connection, Clare decided it was time to change her life.
Now she's performing in the Tropical arts production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream".
Fiona caught up with Clare at The Tanks.

Not Happy 2 weeks into it.
Not happy at all. Had to have my SRT8 towed to the dealer today. This was after a first visit because there was oil on my garage floor. Service stated that the oil filter was not tight enough. Dealer replaced the oil filter and added some oil to the engine. That was Sat morning. Sat night I started the engine and it started making a horrible nocking noise. Sounded like loud ticking that would macth rpm range. The thing the that pissed me off the most was the service managers attitude like I bought a cheap veh. He just brushed it off. Dealer does not know what the problem is. I have only 1K miles on it and its 2 weeks old. It is also going to the body shop to have the front bumper clips replaced under the headlights since it keeps poping out. Anyone know how to contact a rep from SRT not very happy with the quality of this veh.:mad:
Re: Not Happy 2 weeks into it.
If anyone can help me post the video clip of the sound. I cant for some reason. I can email it. Thanks
The HEMI ticks and is normal. It's the "HEMI Tick"
My oil filter has leaked at the gasket twice. No biggie nor tow needed for me. Just took it to the dealer to have them look at it. It was just a small leak, nothing that would cause the engine oil to go dry.

Re: Not Happy 2 weeks into it.
I heard the tick before but this way louder. Service called me and said they have no idea and are going to call chrysler about it.

Re: Not Happy 2 weeks into it.
Weather was the same drove it all day. The work order stated that they added 3qt of 0w40. When they replaced the oil filter. If you pm your email I can send you a video clip of it.
The srt hotline will take care of you. Call them tomorrow.
They stay right on top of the issue and follow up until your case is closed.
On the level of oil, I would ask the hotline what level (0 -7 quarts low) could cause damage. 3 quarts seems pretty low to me.
PS..doesn't sound like a Jeep issue, but a dealer issue.
Re: Not Happy 2 weeks into it.
send me the vid to scott @ jeepgarage.org
Let me know if theres anything I can do. Sounds like theer could be some damage from low oil. No way to diagnose on the net though.
My 2013 has just under 1000 miles and I would be livid if I had those problems.
sounds like low oik caused rod knock. I would switch dealers.

|SD! (DC Comics):
The Science Ghoul was the disguise of an unnamed villainous scientist.

He had white hair and a scarred green face and green hands. He wore a white lab coat over a dark suit.
He was obsessed with research and inventions. He hoped to test a paralysis ray on the gang.

The gang came close to capturing the Science Ghoul, but all of them were slowed down by sticky foam and only Scooby was free to chase the Ghoul. When he got close the Ghoul triggered a bright flash and suddenly there were two Scoobys in the room. Shaggy Rogers dubbed the second "Scooby-Two" and suggested he join the gang. Scooby-Two seemed very friendly and helpful, but he was reporting to the Ghoul and keeping him one step ahead. Finally Scooby-Two was caught spying by Scooby. The gang had Scooby pose as the robot to lure the Ghoul into a trap, and so he was caught. (Two Scoobys Are Better Than One)

It true that the min. air adjustment doesn't apply to a 90 but, the throttle body still has an idle stop screw. It's not uncommon on a car that old to find that someone has screwed it up by trying to idle with the stop screw. If that's the case, you'll either have to replace the TB or try the min. air adjustment for an older model.
Otherwise reasons why it might idle too fast...
1) Problem with the throttle cable
2) Problem with the throttle body.
3) Vacuum leak
4) faulty TPS
5) faulty IAC
6) Incorrect calibration.
The Factory Service Manual has instructions on how to troubleshoot an idle problem along with information on how to fix it.
You can get FSMs from CAC sponsor, Zip Products. That's where I get mine.

Posted by Craig Menzies on November 16, 2007
The first time I used Web analytics, I mean "really" used Web analytics, was to end an argument. I was running the technical and eCommerce department for an online retailer, a really amazing online gadgets Web site, and the creative director and managing director were near to shedding blood over the following business-critical issue: Should a button on the home page be blue or purple, or maybe it should blue plus purple (blurple), as opposed to purple + blue (purue)? Two hours had gone by, and eight people sat in the room while the two worked themselves further and further away from rational thought and principles of civilized behaviour. I feared for the health, safety and sanity of my work colleagues.
So, I think it's safe to say that I used Web analytics for the first time as an act of sheer desperation. I used to it end the argument once and for all -- I logged in to our new Web analytics software while the two fought, and was able to show them that not only did the customers not care what colour the button was, but in fact, not a single customer had used the button in 6 months.

Whirlpool icemaker trim ring/bezel?
I have a Whirlpool side by side Mod. ED5VHEXVQ01. The door to the icemaker chute has come loose. It appears that it is an easy fix once the trim comes off the outside of the door?? I see no fasteners to remove trim ring. Is this a friction fit where some prying will pop it off?? Or is there a professional way or tool to removing it?? Thanks JIm
most whirlpool front covers come off with a little prying. start at one side and pop it free first, the tool of choice is a putty knife

Compressor cfm rating required for framing nailer
I need to buy a compressor and finish nailer for a project I will be doing. But I want to make sure that the compressor will work for a framing nailer if I ever need to use one in the future. I understand the whole concept of cfm and psi, etc, but as I do my research I find discrepencies in the explanations about how many cfm's are required for a tool with a given rating. Some are saying that if for example the nailer claims to use 4.0 cfm @ 90 psi, then the compressor needs to be a 4.0 (or greater) cfm at 90 psi. That seems easy enough. But others say you should add 50% to the tools rating to determine the compressor rating. One reseller went as far as saying you should double the tools rating. All I know is that I will only be running one nailer at a time. What do you guys (or gals) think about this. I read one post where a person is running two framing nailers with a 4.5 cfi compressor. That's encouraging but I would like to hear what others have experienced. Thanks.
I have a PC pancake compressor that I got with a brad nailer/finish nailer combo. Like this one - http://www.toolbarn.com/product/port...2002/?ref=base
This site lists it at 2.6 cfm at 90 psi.
I have no idea how to calculate theoretically what that's good for, but I've used it for everything from brad nailers to a roofing nailer, and a big Bostich framer. With the framer I probably get a dozen shots before the compressor cycles on, and then it's usually done before I've shot a couple more. With the roofer it's even better. I'm usually working alone though, and that slows you down, since you're cutting, fetching, aligning, etc between shots. If I were on a roof whacking at shingles as fast as I could, and someone else was feeding them to me, yeah, I could probably make the compressor run most of the time, and that wouldn't be so good for it (I think duty cycles should be under 50% or so). But as a solo DIYer, I'll never have to worry about that. And I'm really glad I have a small compressor so I can carry it around without any trouble from one job to the next. It means I use it a lot more for smaller jobs.

I've got the same compressor that Nate has. I only use it with one nailer at a time and I'm not nearly a fast enough worker to make it run low on pressure on a regular basis. The only time that I can beat the compressor is when I'm building headers where there are a lot of nails close to each other. I use it with the Makita AN922.
I had a larger compressor a few years ago (wheels and handle type) that I used for sandblasting and painting. It was big enough to support two nailers. I finished those projects and sold the compressor to a friend where he renovated his house using it.
Although, he has since started a "handyman" business, he never brings it to the job site because he doesn't want to lug it around. The moral of the story is there's a strong correlation between portability and likelyhood to use it.
Unless it's a Cast iron cylinder I'd say 50% Duty cycle is normal. cast iron are 75-100% Duty Cycles.
Autobody tools (Sanders) are a Huge CFM "sucker" and usualy require a good Cast iton Cylinder (2 stage).
capacity for sandblasting
This cabinet says it needs 10CFM at 100psi. Based on what I've seen, that seems to mean a fairly large compressor. Am I misinterpreting something? Thanks
Choosing an air compressor involves several factors, mainly CFM and tank size.
If you had a 1 CFM compressor and a 100 gallon tank, you could run just about any tool for a long time. The compressor would run all the time, and store air in the tank when you're not using the tool. If you had a 20 CFM compressor and a 1 gallon tank, again it would run just about any tool continuously. But it would cycle on and off a lot, and wouldn't last very long. Somewhere in the middle is the best way to go.
A framing nailer will use about 2 CFM or less while framing walls. While shooting decking, subfloor, or sheeting, it'll use more like 10 CFM. A small hand-held sandblaster will need about 10-15 CFM. A car body sander uses about 15-20.
Most air tools are rated for a 15 second run time. This means if the usage is listed at 4 CFM, that's what it'll use if operated for 15 seconds each minute. An impact wrench is a good example of this. If you run the tool continuously (like the car body sander), the 4 CFM tool becomes a 16 CFM tool.
Be careful when choosing an air compressor. There's a huge amount of mis-leading advertising. Just because it says 6 HP doesn't mean it'll produce 20 CFMs. The 6 HP rating is the maximum the motor can produce, not what it actually runs at. As a basic rule-of-thumb, at 120 PSI a single-stage compressor will produce about 3-1/2 CFM per HP. A two stage unit will produce about 4 CFM per HP. To determine HP, don't go by what's advertised. Use motor current instead. Basically, a 2 HP motor will use about 10-12 amps at 230 volts. A 3 HP is about 13-16. 5 HP is about 20-24.
Generally speaking, you'll want the largest tank you can put up with. For a stationary unit, 30 gallon would be about the minimum. More is better. A portable unit will be smaller. The larger the tank, the more reserve you have, and the less CFM you'll need. The smaller the tank, the quicker you'll run out of air during heavy usage.
Like just about everything else, there is no perfect solution, what you should get depends on how you plan to use it.
Rob.Good Thinking
Rob, thanks for that explanation. It has clarified a lot for me.
You seem to have your question answered but I'll put in my 2 cents. #1- a 15 amp 120 volt motor will never produce more than 2.5 HP. A 20 amp 120v will produce a max of about 3.2 HP. Anything more than that is impossible. #2 If it says 6 hp it's talking about the start up HP. It MAY produce 6 hp for second when starting up. #3 Never ever let a sales person tell you that an oilless pump is better than an oil lubricated pump. They are extremely noisy and don't last anywhere as long as an oiled pump. #4 duty cycle does matter . Pay attenton to it when you buy a compressor. If you find a compressor with a Lesson or Marathon motor on it marked farm use or light industrial with a cast iron pump on it and is belt driven it will be 100% duty cycle. It's when you get in to the direct drive with the little 3450 rpm motors with an oilless pump that duty cycles and durability go down like crazy.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (AP) - Michigan's attorney general says he's charged a Tennessee man and woman for forcing a young woman to work as a stripper.
Bill Schuette says 30-year-old Vinson Alexander and 27-year-old Taryn Johnson of Nashville are charged with human trafficking. Schuette says Alexander also is charged with torturing and assaulting the 18-year-old woman.
Schuette says the charges follow an investigation by police in the Detroit suburb of Southfield and by the FBI.
Schuette says Johnson recruited the woman in December, luring her with promises of good pay. He says Alexander took the young woman's earnings and threatened violence to control her, seriously injuring her Thursday.
A Southfield judge arraigned the suspects Monday and set bonds for them. They're due back in court Friday.
The court couldn't say if they've got lawyers.

I am in the middle of the big move to the new house! So exciting. My poor craft room is in shambles but I unearthed one of my favorite storage cabinets for small crafting items. Small items such as buttons, brads, and stickers can be such a pain to keep track of.
I used an old utilitarian nuts and bolt storage cabinet for this. The outside case was originally metallic blue so I spray painted it flat black. The fronts of the drawers are covered in decorative trim, the kind you use for drawers and liners. It is self adhesive and removable. Then I just painted the teal on the pull-outs of the drawers.
Somewhere, a mechanic is probably laughing that I girly-fied up their man stuff.

Gary Glitter was told off for wearing sunglasses as he appeared in court to face child sex abuse charges today.
The former pop star, who appeared under his real name Paul Gadd, is charged with eight sex offences against under-age girls aged 12 and 14 in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The allegations include claims he plied a one of the girls with alcohol so he could have sex with her.
During the four minute hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court today he was ticked off by the district judge Emma Arbuthnot for wearing sunglasses in court but his lawyer said they were worn because of a medical condition.
Glitter was remanded on bail until July 3 when he will appear at Southwark crown court.
The 70-year-old was the first person to be arrested as part of the Operation Yewtree when he was held at his home in Marylebone, central London, in October 2012.
The police probe was launched in the wake of sex abuse claims against the disgraced late TV presenter Jimmy Savile, who was unmasked after his 2011 death as Britain's most prolific paedophile.
The Crown Prosecution Service announced earlier this month that Glitter had been charged.

calibrating optimal taxation models (Saez 2001)
Hi all,
Let me ask a few higher-level, but hopefully meaningful questions about problems I face when I try to implement the methods that started the career of Emmanuel Saez (John Bates Clark medalist, MacArthur genius award winner). The paper in question is this: http://elsa.berkeley.edu/~saez/derive.pdf.
It has some clever calculus of variations (but does not seem like easily mapping into VariationalD[] ), and some numerical solutions.
I believe in the promise of Mathematica, and I would rather keep my work here instead of doing it in another system, but I would appreciate some help in doing so:
1. The problem involves a crucial step of "fixed point" solution for functions. Is there a built-in way that Mathematica would do this? Meaning giving me (approximated, interpolated) functions instead of me generating a bunch of lists of values? Or where is a guide on similar kind of iterative approximations? (Actually, the variant I would use would use even more of this kind of an operation, I hope it is easy.)
2. As the last page of the article shows, a two-equation differential equation system has to be solved for the solution. My problem is that these functions are higher-level compositions of underlying functions (and distributions, unless I simply care about CDFs as functions too). I have two problems with this:
2a. I could not make NDSolve understand all the rules and substitutions it should use. (E.g. if I have define utility u to be a function of consumption c and labor l, it does not mean that they are not all functions of the underlying skill, n.) But I probably should find help with that. (Though if you happen to have an idea what kind of operations this problem might involve, I am grateful for a more direct link.)
2b. Some of the functions (and CDFs) are "implicitly defined" or solutions to the previously mentioned fixed-point logic which changes with the solution. Would NDSolve take this into account if I plug the right objects in? Or I would need to write my own Block[] to iterate and evaluate? If the latter, I am grateful for any reference with examples more closely resembling my problem.

Wheat fields, kitchen tables, and moms gazing approvingly at their sandwich-eating children: the conventions of bread advertising are well entrenched. But figure-conscious fashion models and bread products, usually, do not mix.
Nevertheless, that's the scenario offered up in the newest ad from Dempster's bread, which features models on set approvingly munching on formerly forbidden carbs. The ad was created to promote a new product development that is part of a major marketing program at Dempster's, designed to make people think differently about the much-maligned wheat product.
On Monday, Dempster's launched its new Garden Vegetable Bread, flecked with pieces of carrot and pumpkin. It is the latest move in a trend of food marketers promoting products with nutritional extras hidden inside. Mott's line of apple sauce and other blended fruit cups has added Fruitsations + Veggies, which it advertises as an "undercover" source of vegetables for kids. Kraft Foods Group Inc. has KD Smart, which promotes the cauliflower blended into its macaroni and cheese.
As consumers become more pressed for time, food companies are seeing the power of advertising easy ways to sneak nutritional benefits into their day.
"It's definitely a trend. All of us don't have enough time to plan, to manage, to prepare foods that give us the full range of benefits," said Connie Morrison, senior vice-president of marketing for Fresh Bakery at Canada Bread, a subsidiary of Maple Leaf Foods Inc., which markets the Dempster's line.
"If you can take something as simple as a sandwich and add hidden benefits, then the mom preparing lunches for her kids doesn't have to worry about how to get her kids to eat more vegetables and fruits."
The campaign, however, targets a wider consumer group as well. Unlike Kraft or Mott's, which emphasize that hidden vegetables can fool picky kids into eating healthy, the Dempster's ad tackles a bigger problem: weight-conscious adults who have negative perceptions about bread.
In the TV spot, a woman at a fashion shoot asks another model, incredulously, "Are you eating a sandwich?" Once the product is explained, the two women enthusiastically partake together.
"Seeing the disconnect of models together with sandwiches creates a visual tension and makes you look and think twice," said Brent Choi, chief creative and innovation officer at Dempster's ad agency, JWT Canada.
In fact, because the ad is such a sharp departure from the wheat field imagery and other conventions of the category (which JWT has also used in Dempster's ads in the past), the team was hesitant to pitch it to the client.
But it fits into a strategy the company has been pushing for roughly a year now to counter bread's bad rap.
For example, earlier this year, Canada Bread's digital ad agency, Cundari, launched a campaign featuring comedian Gerry Dee emphasizing bread's nutritional benefits. The company's consumer tracking studies have shown an improvement in sentiment toward bread in the past six months, Ms. Morrison said, and sales in the commercial bread category as a whole in Canada are seeing slower declines.
The new ad concludes with a male crew member eating a salad and marvelling at his colleague's sandwich as well – a sign of just how widespread the suspicion over bread has become. Canada Bread is hoping that tapping into the wider trend of built-in nutritional extras will help in its efforts to combat that suspicion.
"We still see a lot of consumers talking about gluten free, 'carbs are bad,' 'bread makes you fat,'" Ms. Morrison said. "We're trying to turn it on its head."
Indeed, many marketers are attempting to fortify their products as scores of dieting books, nutrition advice on television and online, and the implicitly judgmental missives of celebrity lifestyle guru Gwyneth Paltrow make consumers wary of a wider array of foods. While carbs from bread used to be the biggest evil, many dieters have turned their attentions to sugar as well, lending a sinister air to that wholesome glass of orange juice.
PepsiCo Inc., which owns Tropicana, launched the Tropicana Essentials line of juices that advertise extra calcium and vitamin D, in 2002. It also launched the Trop50 line of juices with less sugar and calories, and has recently launched a version with the same nutritional extras.
"Our research suggested that consumers are looking for foods that deliver more nutrition," said Meghan Savage, senior marketing manager for Tropicana. "Innovation is a proven driver in helping us to grow the Tropicana brand. Tropicana Essentials is a great example of a successful innovation that meets the needs of consumers that has helped to grow our business."
It's a popular tactic to market to parents as well. Since KD Smart launched three years ago in Canada, it has seen growth in household penetration among families with younger kids, said Kathy Murphy, director of corporate affairs at Kraft Canada.
"Parents have long told us that mealtime can be challenging," she said. "They want their kids to eat nutritious meals and they want those meals to be convenient. The whole idea behind KD Smart is to offer products that make it easier for those parents to deliver on both."
However, obesity expert and professor in the department of medicine at the University of Ottawa, Dr. Yoni Freedhoff, is skeptical of foods that claim to have nutritional extras.
"It's playing into society's desire for convenience, and it's also playing into the naturalistic fallacy, that if you write that it has a vegetable in it, suddenly it makes it healthful," Dr. Freedhoff said.
His forthcoming book, The Diet Fix, explores the problems of a dieting culture.
He has a problem with products such as KD Smart – "anything but smart" – and Mott's cups, which have so little of the nutrients from the vegetables they claim to include as to make them almost negligible.
"When you process things, you lose a huge amount of nutrients that came with them in the first place. Simply because they were once of carrot or pumpkin origin, does not mean that's what you're getting in that bread. You're getting a faint shadow of what those vegetables once were."
Bread has its own legitimate merits, but he suggested consumers should take this kind of hidden-nutrition advertising with an extra grain – of salt.
"The inconvenient truth of healthy living is that it does require effort."Report Typo/Error

|Journalist and educator
Walter Williams (July 2, 1864–July 29, 1935) was an American journalist and educator. He founded the world's first journalism school at the University of Missouri, and later served as the university's president. An internationalist, he promoted the ideals of journalism globally and is often referred to as "The Father of Journalism Education".[6]
Williams was born in Boonville, Missouri[7] in 1864. Both his parents died when he was just 14 years old, forcing Williams to quit school to help support his siblings.[6] Though he quit attending school he was later graduated from Boonville High School in 1879.[8] Williams got a job as an apprentice at the Boonville Topic making 75 cents a week. In 1884 the Topic merged with the Boonville Advertiser, and despite being just 20 years old Williams was hired as editor.[6] Two years later he became a part-owner in the newspaper, and was also elected President of the Missouri Press Association.[6] In 1888 he worked doing press releases for the Missouri State Penitentiary. After the warden began censoring his releases he resigned and began editing the Columbia Herald in 1889 and began making contributions to Jefferson City, Kansas City and St. Louis newspapers. He married Hulda Harned in 1892. In 1895 he was named president of the National Editorial Association. Working with his employer Edwin William Stephens through the Missouri Press Association, Williams helped to found the State Historical Society of Missouri in 1898.[9]
In the late 1890s Walter Williams began lobbying the Missouri General Assembly and the Board of Curators of the University of Missouri to establish a school of journalism. Many newspaper editors and owners objected saying that reporters should follow the traditional apprentice route for training. However the General Assembly and the Curators eventually approved the addition of the College of Journalism in 1905 with Williams as dean. After some delay, the School of Journalism was finally established in 1908 with ninety-seven students served by three faculty members.[6]
In 1902, Williams traveled to 27 nations on four continents to publicize the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair to the international press. As dean of the School of Journalism he continued to travel the globe, serving as a relentless publicist for both the school and the profession of journalism. In 1915, he was elected president of the Press Congress of the World; and led its first formal sessions in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1921. That same year, he lectured in Beijing and Shanghai, and established a department of journalism at China's Yenching University in 1928.[10] One of his earliest actions as Dean was creating the University Missourian (now the Columbia Missourian) newspaper so that his students would gain practical hands-on experience running a newspaper while also receiving their education.[6]
It wasn't long before other colleges and universities across the United States began to emulate the University of Missouri program. However Williams became increasingly concerned they would not adhere to the same high journalistic standards and professionalism being taught at "Mizzou".[6] So, in 1914 he created the Journalist's Creed, a statement of professional guidelines often evoked as the definitive code of ethics for journalists. It is posted in bronze at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.
In 1930, he established the Missouri Honor Medal for Distinguished Service in Journalism. Also in 1930 he wrote Missouri, Mother of the West with Floyd Calvin Shoemaker.[11] He served as a member of the Pulitzer Prize Board for 1931–32. A member of the University of Missouri Board of Curators, Williams became president of the university in 1931. He took over the leadership when Mizzou, like many other American institutions of higher learning, was struggling with funding issues due to the Great Depression. So that his faculty might receive much needed raises, Williams cut his own salary.[6] His health began to fail as his presidency wore on, and he died while still holding the position in July, 1935. He was buried in Columbia Cemetery.[3]
Walter Williams never attended college, although honorary degrees were conferred upon him by Missouri Valley College in 1900; Kansas State University in 1909 and Washington University in 1926. Before his death, he was initiated as an honorary brother of the Acacia Fraternity.
A new journalism building on the Columbia, Missouri campus was named for him in 1936. A World War II Liberty ship, SS Walter Williams (hull MC No. 2291), launched in 1943 was named in his honor.
Williams has a group of scholars named after him at the University of Missouri, who are journalism students directly admitted to the journalism program who have received a 33 or above on their ACT (or 1450 on the SAT) in high school.
The Walter Williams Club is the name of the alumni association of University of Missouri Journalism School graduates.

Blackwing DescentIntroduced in Cataclysm
Nefarian and his warped attempts to create a new breed of dragon were thought to be defeated after his death in Blackwing Lair. Yet tales have emerged that his father, Deathwing, has reanimated Nefarian and set him to work in Blackwing Descent. The gruesome experiments being conducted there are feared to be on a level of wickedness far surpassing Nefarian's previous crimes against nature.
Dwelling on the lessons learned from his defeat in Blackwing Lair, he has burrowed deeper into the heart of Blackrock Mountain, and rebuilt his sanctuary. The Vault of the Shadowflame, a deep pit of cascading magma, is the heart of Blackwing Descent, and the location of horrific new experiments in undeath and magical augmentation, including a triumph dear to even Nefarian's cold, wrathful heart.
Only death awaits those fools who would assume that the Lord of Blackrock will be easily defeated a second time.
