Talk:Negative multinomial distribution
|WikiProject Statistics
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
Including an explicit references to the UCLA NMD calculator[edit]
Expert probability, statistics and education opinions are solicited for this NMD article.
Please comment below on the encyclopedic value of adding an explicit reference to the UCLA NMD calculator in this Negative multinomial distribution article.
The editor that started the article (User:Iwaterpolo) is associated with UCLA and declared his association when he created the article. The editor that removed the link and the image illustrating the results of the NMD example (User:O18) argues that there is a conflict of interest and removed these materials from the article.
There is no other publicly available online resources for computing with NMD. User:Iwaterpolo argues that this link, and this image, which demonstrates NMD data analysis, add significant value to the material and should be included. User:O18 argues that the links and figure should be excluded because User:Iwaterpolo is associated with UCLA, the institution that developed these unique applet resources, and has a Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest. Specifically, removed the following from the article:
Iwaterpolo (talk) 05:25, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- Iwaterpolo, what I wanted was for you to propose any edits related to SOCR on the article's talk page before making them, getting general consensus that they should be made and having someone else make the edits. Since you appear to have started that process now, I'm happy. Thanks! O18 (talk 15:10, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- I saw the addition of the link and screenshot as a non sequitur. It was almost along the lines of creating an article about luxury cars and putting a link to a Lexus dealership in the middle of the article. Sure, you're not actually selling anything, but I'm still concerned about the continuing attempt to promote the tool in Wikipedia. -- Atama頭 20:36, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
- Your allegory of the luxury cars article and a Lexus dealership is not exactly correct, as there are a number of luxury cars and any article about them should *not* single out any one car. In this case, there is only one tool that would allow you to compute the NMD, and it was referenced in the article. If anyone wants to test, analyze example data, or fit in a NMD distribution model, currently there is only one resources that provides that functionality, and it is available directly online. But, I do agree with you that, as I'm involved with this development, it'd be better if someone else were to add such a reference figure, if others fined it useful. Thanks. Iwaterpolo (talk) 20:54, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
- Iwaterpolo, the analogy (like all analogies) is not perfect, but the point remains that the link struck the two of us as not necessary and even confusing. But the larger point is that you should have proposed adding these links on the discussion page instead of adding it. If you have more questions about COI, I think Atama has offered to answer them on your talk page. O18 (talk 01:37, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

request clarification of example[edit]
The example text now reads, "The Negative Multinomial distribution may be used to model the sites cancer rates and help measure some of the cancer type dependencies within each location." Why can it be used? What not just use the multinomial? What is the default case? O18 (talk 20:45, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
- The 3 questions you pose are:
- Why can NMD be used (as a model for this 2-factor Contingency tables)?
- Varieties of models are appropriate for such Contingency tables. Examples include Chi-Square tests, Multinomial distribution, Fisher's exact tests, NMD inference, etc. NMD is certainly not an exclusive modeling distribution. It all depends on the use context.
- Why not just use Multinomial distribution in this case?
- Random variables with NMD and MD distributions have different interpretations: If , then the distribution of X represents likelihood of the total number of experiments (n) to observe and outcomes (n varies, n>0, is fixed). Where as if , then the distribution of Y represents likelihood of observing and outcomes, when n is fixed but varies!
- What is the default case?
- I may have missed the point here - not sure what default case refers to.
- Why can NMD be used (as a model for this 2-factor Contingency tables)?
- Iwaterpolo (talk) 21:30, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, maybe it would help if you gave a three case example of the NMD instead of the negative binomial example. I thought from the text on the page now that the default case was the case that had to get to k0, maybe I am mistaken. Also my question was, why choose the NMD, what is its advantage in this instance? It looks more like a case for MD to me, so that is why I was asking. The reason it looks like a case for the MD is that the total number is fixed, not the number in any one column. Am I missing something? O18 (talk 01:18, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I read the article referenced and clarified the text on the article to agree with the reference (yes, you sample until X0 = k0). The following question remains, in the example, why is this a good model / a better model than the MD? O18 (talk 01:32, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
How many outcomes, m or m+1?[edit]
The introduction states:
- Suppose we have an experiment that generates possible outcomes, .
Looks like there are outcomes. Tayste (talk - contrib) 18:58, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
- It is even worse than that. Sometimes the p vector includes p0 and sometimes it does not. Sometimes X0 is included and sometimes it is not. 018 (talk) 15:05, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
- Looks like the single bernoulli trial has m+1 possible outcomes, whereas the Negative multinomial r.v. itself is m-dimensional, since its "0th" component is predetermined to be equal to k0 and thus of little interest to us. I'd also tend to think that p0 should be excluded from the parameters, and instead we just have NMD(k0, p), with p0 = 1 − (p1+…+pm). In that way it looks more similar to the negative binomial distribution. … stpasha » 16:54, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Explain why the example is NMD?[edit]
What was the stopping criterion for data collection in the skin cancer example? Did they stop when they had reached exactly 68 Head and Neck observations? The round figure grand total of 400 is suspicious for NMD. I think the explanation needs to distinguish this clearly from an ordinary Multinomial situation. Tayste (talk - contrib) 19:30, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
- This is the obvious question and the editor who added this text has not edited since I asked it about a month ago. I imagine it is supposed to be more flexible than the multinational distribution, not that the sampling dictated this. Perhaps we should try to find an example from the literature where they state more of this. 018 (talk) 15:01, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
- See section below. Iwaterpolo (talk) 18:39, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- After spending a while pondering the example, it seems that NMD was selected because it has the desired property of positive correlations, and not because of applicability. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 06:08, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
If "Polya distribution" is the same as the negative binomial, wouldn't the Multivariate Polya distribution be the same as the negative multinomial? If so then the two articles should be merged. // stpasha » 20:01, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
- Having glanced at the article, this is at the least a specific case. 018 (talk) 20:08, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
- This is a good question, however, the Multivariate Polya distribution and the Negative multinomial distribution are quite distinct. In general, you can refer to each of the distribution descriptions to see why, but these differences are clear by looking at the univariate cases (1-dimension). The Beta-binomial distribution is the univariate case of Multivariate Polya distribution, whereas Negative binomial distribution is the univariate case of Negative multinomial distribution. These distribution articles should not be merged. Iwaterpolo (talk) 20:14, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Content editing by non-experts[edit]
Please consider technical content edits of any Wikipedia article only if you have the necessary expertise. This should be obvious for most editors, however, occasionally it may be overlooked in our collective efforts to police the content (undoubtedly a critical component of the process of ensuring validity, notability and relevance of Wikipedia content). Several recent edits by User:O18 and User:Stpasha (e.g., 325357097 and 330324768) introduced a number of technical errors in the description and interpretation of the Negative Multinomial Distribution article. Please refrain from modifying (or trying to simplify) technical content you are not absolutely certain about or may not have the necessary expertise, and either solicit expert review/opinions or use the discussion pages, as appropriate. Some of these prior edits now require a complete review of the history and appropriate revisions by experts. One notable example of a recent erroneous revision replaced the critical "\{X_0, X_1, \cdots, X_m\} occur exactly \{k_0, k_1, \cdots, k_m\} times" statement with a simpler (but incorrect) "until n observations are made, then \{X_0,\cdots,X_m\}" (there are no n-observations for NMD, this is a common confusion with Negative Binomial Distribution. This confusion is also clear from some of the rudimentary questions asked earlier in this talk page. Many of your revisions have significantly improved the article, however, if you are uncertain about some details (e.g., "I am not totally able to understand this, I hope this makes it clearer and is right.") it may be better to avoid editing and rely on subject experts. Thanks. Iwaterpolo (talk) 18:39, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- It would help if those who consider themselves expert could: (i) bother to give adequate citations for supposed results; (ii) use standard sources in preference to, or as well as, obscure journal articles (where available); (iii) follow Wikipedia conventions for things like capitalization and article formatting; (iv) avoid unexplained notation, particularly where this conficts with notation used in the related Wikipedia articles (the supposed characteristic function is a case in point). Melcombe (talk) 11:11, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
- Iwaterpolo, in the edit you linked above I wrote in the comment, "update definition to agree with reference." I think that making the page agree with the reference is generally a good thing. IN this case, section 2, first paragraph, last sentence in the paragraph of Le Gall 2006 reads,
If independant trials are repeated until E0 occurs exactly k0 times, the numbers of occurrences (k1,…,kr) of {E1,…,Er} during these trials have a NMD(k0,p) with parameters k0 and p (Kotz and Johnson, 1982): ...
- Here, I will point out that not only is that the definition in the reference, but the reference makes a reference for that being the definition--suggesting it is well agreed upon.
- I think that instead of saying someone is an expert or not, we should focus on the content of the page. 018 (talk) 15:56, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
- Absolutely right, focus should be on content - and as discussed here, content means correctness and confidence in our collective contributions. Iwaterpolo (talk) 19:29, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
cleanup tag[edit]
There are many outstanding questions on how the example relates to the NMD (see above). This article needs cleanup until these are addressed. 018 (talk) 20:21, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
reference to Mathematica[edit]
The reference to Mathematica is arbitrary. Any CAS can solve a cubic equation, so a mention of a particular one is a kind of advertisement. In particular, choosing a 3000$ software for a menial task is a bad idea for the free enciclyopedia: how can I check its correctness?!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 16:08, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

The automotive aftermarket unit of the Bosch Group is planning to buy SPX Corp.'s aftermarket services business in a cash deal that has a value of $1.15 billion. In a statement, Bosch said that it generates around $920 million in annual sales and has about 2,700 employees in 17 countries.
If regulators approve it in the usual time frame, it's likely that this deal will close in the first half of 2012. Robert Hanser, president of the Bosch's Automotive Aftermarket division, said that getting SPX Service Solutions will help in making Bosch "one of the leading providers of diagnostic solutions."
He said that this acquisition will enable it to significantly expand its market presence in the diagnostics business, especially in North America. Based in Charlotte, N.C., SPX said that this sale will enable it to concentrate on other aspects of the business like beverage and food processing as well as power transformers for utilities.
Kowalski, SPX segment president, said that Bosch is dedicated to the automotive service sector and has strong relationships with vehicle original equipment manufacturers throughout the world.
He added that Service Solutions has a "very good strategic fit" with Bosch. Based in Stuttgart, Germany, Bosch's automotive business is ranked at No. 1 on the Automotive News list of the top 100 global suppliers with worldwide sales of $34.56 billion in 2010.
When other business lines are included, Bosch said it generated revenue of $62.7 billion in its 2010 fiscal year and predicts to achieve about $70 billion in revenue for its current 2011 fiscal year. Based in Warren, Mich., the SPX business sells diagnostic equipment, service tools, parts and software for auto dealers and repair shops around the world.

Brightstar and Carphone Warehouse will start bundling laptops with 3's USB dongles, after both companies agreed deals with the 3G operator last week.
Brightstar will use its partnership with TechData, while Carphone will use its stockpile of Dell laptops that it originally sourced for its own AOL proposition.
Several other distributors are also negotiating deals with laptop manufacturers or computer distributors to bring laptops to mobile phone dealers.
Hugh Symons will start offering broadband packages with contributions from its sister companies, AOL and TalkTalk, as well as other broadband providers brokered by parent company Carphone.
Dextra and Data Select are also understood to be looking at sourcing laptops.
Interest has snowballed as 3 and T-Mobile have made USB modems a central part of their business plans after seeing higher than expected consumer demand in November and December, particularly on prepay as customers with poor
credit ratings look for broadband.
Similarly, Orange is keen to boost its broadband subscriptions through the independent channel.
One distribution chief said: 'Cashback is dead. Dealers expectations are too high. They need to embrace these changes and stop complaining that the margins aren't as good as on mobile contracts two years ago.'
The subsidised laptop model hasn't proven to be a hit in DSG and Carphone so far (see page 6), with the experience suggesting there is less interest in subsidised laptops as there is for free phones.
Angus Dawe, MD at Data Select, said: 'We want to move independents into being expert practitioners of setting up data services and pre-installed products and services. There's a real opportunity there for dealers.'

Chance The Rapper ft. BJ The Chicago Kid - Good Ass Intro
When's the last time you listened to a new rap record and thought to yourself, "Damn, this intro is dope."? For me, it was way back in 2009. While Sharam's She Came Along still boasts the best opening seconds of any track I've encountered in my DJBooth tenure, I can't front; Chance the Rapper's latest single has one Good Ass Intro. Best of the Booth-winning R&B singer BJ the Chicago Kid teams up with Lili K, Peter Cottontale (who co-produces the joint with Stefan Ponce), John Legend and Kiara Lanier to lace the front twenty seconds or so with their radiant gospel harmonies, before passing the mic to Chance for some characteristically melodic, high-energy bars. OJ Hays and Andrew Shaw direct the cut's trippy official visuals. For this joint, previously-featured singles Acid Rain and Juice, and much more, check out Chance's Acid Rap LP when it drops digitally in April.

text: I just purchased the Kenwood 6070, then I realized I didnt see any specs on a RF modulator for Laserdisc DD5.1. While I could use my old amp as a preamp, that would be very wasteful of space just to get the RF mod for my Starwars LD. All of my other 5.1 LDs are out on dvd now, so its just starwars that I am concerned about. Yeah I know Im gonna get spanked for not watching the original thx only version. So anyway, what mode should I use to watch an LD like starwars. Does Pro logic 2 or matrix thx sound as good as DD5.1. Will I notice the difference. I am excited to be able to add some new sound to some older movies that are 2.0. Can anyone fill me in on how the translation from 2.0 to 6.1 sounds.

No one likes to be forced into buying new tires, so don't make it worse by buying fake ones!
Buying tires for your car is one of the most annoying tasks you get forced into doing. Who likes dishing out $200 for more for each pesky tire? Especially if you're living on a small budget, this can be one of the worst sudden expenses you have to make.
Like many others, I don't mind buying used tires. They look great, feel like new, and are way cheaper. If you can't buy top-knotch, why not buy used? I can pretty much always pick out the best ones, I do that little penny test that tells you how good the tires are, and I think I can pretty much figure out how long I will have them for.
After watching this video, however, I will definitely be more careful the next time I'm out buying tires! Watching the re-grooving of a tire made me think that I should think twice before buying tires that are used ever again!

|Let the memory of Patricia Ann be with us forever
"Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories . Dear Pat , you have left many beautiful memories.
Miss you !
Pat & Ellie"
"Dear Pat.....
Happy Birthday, Dear Friend!! Know that I think of you often and have fond memories of our younger days. You will always have a special place in my heart.
With Love and Friendship....Delphine"
"Happy Birthday, Pat...It's a beautiful day today...Wish you were here to celebrate it with me & Happy...I took some photos and a video which I posted on your Memorial Website...Hope you enjoy seeing them... Happy& I miss you very much."
"Happy birthday,aunty Pat. Ever remembering your smile and sweetness. You went to be with your lord way too soon. There were so many things I still wanted to do with you. Love you and miss you."
I miss you so much! Pat and Ellie were here last week. I took them to your gravesite and we brought some flowers. Hope you liked them. I took a photo of Pat & Ellie at your gravesite and posted on this memorial website.
I'll remember you
Long after this endless summer is gone
I'll be lonely, oh so lonely Living only to remember you"
"Dear Pat:
Getting older gives me more time to reflect on past experiences. I know that I'm missing you even more with each passing year. We surely had some wonderful time together. I'm forever grateful to have had a niece like you.
Aunty Ellie"
"I'll always remember you! Me Ke Aloha Pumehana (with fondest aloha!)"

"Dear Pat,
It was so sad that you have already left from us one more year. I can still remember those days in Honolulu, Las Vegas, and San Jose, while we got together. Your sweet smiling and warm words are so valuable during my initial days in the states. I'll remember you forever. Please take a good rest in heaven. -Zong Ling"
"Dearest Pat,
It's sad that you have left so far away from us for long.Although we only meet once, I still remember those days when we got together in China many years ago. That lives in my mind and I keep the valuable photos of us. Remember you forever....

"Dear Pat...
You were such a dear friend while we attended Mun Lun Chinese School. I'll never forget your beautiful smile, your warmth, your friendship. I am so sad that I finally found you again after all these years of wondering what had happened to you and wanting to get in touch with you."
"Dearest sister Pat,
There's so much that I wish to share with you as we used to over long distance calls that often lasted late into the night or mornings. We had so much to laugh about and share. Miss and think of you always. So many wonderful memories of times shared with you. So lucky to have had you for my sister. Thank and love you always. ~Kate"
"(cont. from last Tribute) you're gone, so long but still my fate goes on. Now that you're gone I live in endless day, to hear your name will truly make me cry, cause you are no longer mine. I'm still loving you!"
"Dearest Pat,
Tian mi mi, you are my tian mi mi, come to hear the beating of my heart, with you my heart will shine. Each night I dream you're coming back to me but now you're gone so far away from me, broken hearts and broken dreams. I'm still loving you. All the things we have just fade away, all the love we share have gone away, (next tribute)"
"Aloha Pat,
It's almost 1 year since you left this life on Earth. I still think of you everyday and look forward to seeing you when I leave too. My memories of you are wonderful ways to keep close to you in my heart.
Love lives forever! Linda"
"Momentarily, I could not recall.
Ah - - In my dreams."
"Momentarily, I could not recall.
Ah - - In my dreams.
In my dream, In my dream, I caught sight of you.
Honey Sweet. Your smile is very sweet.
It is you. It is you. I saw you in my dreams.
Where? Where have I caught sight of you before?
Your smiling face is so familiar."
"Hi Pat...Here is the English translation of the song(Tian Mi Mi) I recently added to your Memorial Website.
Honey Sweet; your smile is honey sweet.
Like flowers blossoming in the spring breeze.Blossoming in the spring breeze.
Where? Where have I caught sight of you before?
Your smiling face is so familiar."
"It's taken time for me to adjust to Pat not being there with her ever-present smile. A beautiful person. A beautiful soul. One of our fondest memories of Las Vegas is that of Pat showing us the Strip. Even with a bad cold, she took us around. She was a real gem. Like to think that she and Nellie have found each other up there."
"Dearest Pat,
There isn't a day without good thoughts about you and the fun times we had together. I see you in my dreams at night, always happy. It's as if you are still here with me and I smile because you are forever in my heart. Na me pumehana aloha...Until we meet again! Love, Linda"
"Entering a new year I am so appreciative and blessed to have had someone like my Aunty Pat in my life to share her wisdom, guidance and spirited outlook - those lessons and her example give me comfort and confidence for whatever each day brings!"
"The holidays have come and gone, and we have more wonderful memories of family to share. We are thinking always of the joy Aunty Pat brought into our lives, especially around the holidays. We miss her greatly, but are happy that she celebrates in Heaven with our kin."
"Aunty Pat always brought fun and laughter into whatever we were doing together, like shopping at Walmart for 2 hours! It was enjoyable just being around her and doing silly, everyday things. So many of my Christmas memories involve spending the holidays with Aunty Pat and Uncle Herman, feeling so blessed with a loving family. She was a wonderful person and I will miss her so much."
"The holidays were always special for our family and I always looked forward to this time of year growing up (and when grown) because it meant getting together with my Aunty Pat and getting spoiled - not necessarily by gifts (though we got those to), but by laughter, love and affection. She always looked the festive part - red sweater, red lipstick (smeared on my face), and radiant. Love!"
"Hello Herman
I am very sorry about your loss.During these very difficult times, this in an opportunity to put your trust in the Lord. He will never leave you nor forsake you!
Eleanor Sorenson"
"Aunty Pat, i will always remember your beautiful smile and lively laughter. I remember your jar full of marbles, the ones you took away from your students, and your favorite comic book collection that was laminated. I remember that you were a great chef. You were one of my favorite aunties. Thank you for all those beautiful memories! Rest in peace! Love, Yvonne"
"Pat--you were my oldest niece, and maybe I was your youngest aunty.
We always had so much fun shopping in Vegas, giggling as we tried on identical outfits. Herman has given me some of your blouses, and they will be in my closet alongside others you gave me. Each time I wear or see them, you'll be extra close to me. I'll remember you."
"Who doesn't remember her Chinese chicken salad she always brought to the family gatherings? It was the highlight. :)"
"Time for me to go now
I won`t say goodbye
Look for me in rainbows
Way up in the sky
In the morning sunrise
Wen all the world is new
Just look for me and love me
As you know I loved you
Time for me to leave you
I won`t say goodbye
Look for me in rainbows
High up in the sky
In the evening sunset
When all the world is through,
Just look for me and love me
And I`ll be close to you
It won`t be fore"
"Pat was a beautiful person, both inside and out. We have wonderful memories of both you and Pat in Hawaii, Las Vegas and Boston, which we will forever cherish. It is certain that she is now peaceful in Heaven looking down on you and blessing you every day."
"Auntie Pat was and is still one of my favorite people. I will always remember her as gentle, kind and funny. I will miss her."
"Oh my, we are so very sorry for your loss, Herman. Pat was one beautiful and gentle lady and the two of you always so good with each other. Please accept our most sincere condolences, We hope always to be your friend and will hold you in our thoughts and prayers.
Godspeed, Pat!"
"I'll remember you
Long after this endless summer is gone
I'll be lonely, oh so lonely
Living only to remember you
I'll Remember you
Your voice as soft as a warm summer breeze
Your sweet laughter, mornings after, ever after
I'll remember you
To your arms someday, I'll return to stay
Till then I will remember too
Every bright star, we made wishes upon
Love me always, promise always
You'll remember"

If there was ever a good problem to have, it's that I "only" visited two places in Poland: Krakow and Zakopane. That's barely enough to represent the country as a whole, but that's how I chose to spend my time. And Krakow is so awesome that even my husband didn't complain about spending nearly a whole week there.
But Zakopane is another story. It's taken me five months to write about the city because it's taken me that long to decide how I feel about it.
Zakopane is on the southern border of Poland, right near Slovakia (so close, I can check it off my countries list on a technicality). It's one of those cities that you've probably never heard of until you start planning a trip to Poland and then you'll see it mentioned every where you look.
Zakopane is definitely one of the most popular vacation spots for Poles and it's gaining popularity with international travelers too. It's set in the Tatra Mountains, so it fills up as a ski destination in the winter and as a gorgeous natural retreat for hikers in the summer. My parents' first visit there was foiled by bad weather (October rain and cold), so our family trip seemed like a good excuse to give it a second chance.
But Zakopane, in July, is both a blessing and a curse.
Zakopane is Drop Dead Gorgeous
Like other highland towns throughout Europe, Zakopane has lots of traditional architecture. There are wooden houses scattered through the town center, and into the mountains, but it's the valleys and peaks that make it so gorgeous.
The area is breathtaking everywhere you look, but you'll never find any solitude to enjoy the scenery.
I wasn't too worried in advance of my visit, knowing that just like any national park, hiking up a few trails is the fastest way to leave the crowds. My husband and I specifically chose some strenuous hikes — the harder you work, the less people there will be — but even on a weekday, we were far from the only people on the trail.
We went up steep slopes, scrambled over boulders, and forded muddy creek beds. And at every turn, we were met by hardy hikers, energetic school kids, and yes, even nuns.
Part of me is so glad to see that the world is enjoying such a beautiful spot. The other part of me wanted just twenty minutes without seeing another soul.
Zakopane is Truly Polish
Krakow has a Polish identity, but it's such an international destination that you'll still feel right at home. It's not difficult to find English-speaking locals and if you're not comfortable traveling independently, there are dozens of agencies ready to cater to your needs.
Zakopane is a different story. It's Polish through-and-through…which I loved. Yes, the town is touristy, but it's catering to Polish tourists. The shops are stocked with things that Poles like to buy, restaurants have menus with funny translations (if there's English at all), and I'd estimate that 9 out of 10 people don't speak English. Honestly, that makes it a lot of fun to visit.
Or at least it's fun until you have a problem. We couldn't find our Airbnb rental when we visited, nor could I reach the owner by phone to ask for assistance (side note: this is the first and only bad Airbnb experience I've had). Asking for help in a residential neighborhood became an hour-long project when all we wanted to do was put down our bags.
Then, my sister got sick. As in, really sick. Trying to rearrange travel plans and figure out medical care was yet another project. She ended up recovering just fine, but mostly thanks to my own first aid kit and my mother's impeccable care rather than professional help.
What I'm Doing Next Time (If there Is a Next Time)
Let me clarify: I won't book another trip to Zakopane specifically, but I do plan on going back to Poland and there are a lot of places I want to see.
Next on my list is about an hour from Zakopane, also in the mountains, in a spa town called Szczawnica.
It's still a (Polish) tourist town, but it's just far enough removed to have a different vibe. You can bike, hike, raft, kayak, or fish. Spend a day at Pieninský Národný Park and cross into Slovakia.
From your base in Szczawnica, you can also day trip to Zakopane's Tatra National Park. Like I said, it's crowded but it's gosh-darn beautiful.
* * *
Plan Your Trip to Zakopane
If you're still planning a trip to Zakopane, I think one day and one night is exactly enough. It's too far for a day trip (only about 100 kilometers from Krakow, but 2.5-3 hours depending on heavy traffic!).
When to Go to Zakopane
Hiking is beautiful, but there's a short window of opportunity for a lot of trails in Tatra National Park. Snow and ice makes many routes impassable until June and by October it can be cold and rainy again. Suck it up with the crowds and go in summer, or try to split the difference in September.
I don't ski, but it seems like a great spot — although I think you might want to prepare for crowds.
Where to Eat in Zakopane
My pick is Restauracja Pstrąg Górski, which has some of the best trout I've ever eaten. You should also plan on ordering some of the highlander cheese at some point during your visit (it's everywhere, don't stress over where to get it specifically).
My other vote: Cukiernia Samanta, which is the best bakery in town (and between me and my family, we sampled a lot). Bring cash, point to anything that looks delicious, and worry about your diet on another day.
Where to Stay in Zakopane
For a single night, a standard hotel will probably do. Rooms are cheap in Zakopane, so you can afford to "splurge" on a central location, like the Villa Vita Krupowki.
If you want an apartment, I highly recommend finding a service to help you out with booking so you don't stress out like I did.
I found Raka Travel at the end of my visit, but they are amazing with arranging your plans, including rentals, transportation, and activities. The staff is highly responsive, very friendly, and above and beyond helpful. I thought their prices were competitive; even if your quote is a little higher than other companies, I think it's worth it.
So should you skip Zakopane?
I'm undecided. I liked the mountains, but I'm just not sure I liked the town enough to recommend it.

Finally, the exciting thrill-packed conclusion to the exclusive interview with Scott Cherney, author of RED ASPHALT, now on sale exclusively at Lulu.com
ETC:You said that you based Calvin (Wheeler, the main character of RED ASPHALT) on yourself.
SCOTT CHERNEY: That's right. Thanks for paying attention.
ETC: It's what I do.
SC:That's not all you do…
ETC: What?
SC: Nothing. Do you a question?
ETC:What personality traits do you and Calvin share?
SC:Well, we're both extremely opinionated and we share a lot of the same views. This was a good way for me to rant and rave about certain subjects-like technology, for example-that have been festering inside out of me with no place to go. Sometimes my writing becomes a forum for me to blow off steam.
ETC: A lot of hot air, you mean.
SC: No, I don't and you're a clod. Anyway, Calvin and I are both dreamers, more often than not to the point of total distraction. We also obstinate, morose and painfully insecure, though I don't think I'm the terminal case that Calvin is in this regard. We both loners, but I'm much more social than he ever has been. Calvin is what I would have been like without the wonderful people I've allowed in my life. I'm talking about my friends-and I've great friends in my life-the family I now have…certainly my wife Laurie…and the fantastic people I met through my theater days, the Pollardville gang and other playgrounds I romped around in over the years. I really miss acting.
ETC: Calvin acted too.
SC: Yeah, but he didn't like it. That's one way we differ. He doesn't play well with others. Calvin did enjoy his time teaching traffic school since it afforded him to be a one man band.
ETC: Did you enjoy it?
SC: Sure. It was a blast. It paid well too. Traffic school was a way to get stand-up comedy out of my system since the experience left a bad taste in my mouth.
ETC: Do you mean when you won the Stockton Comedy Competition?
SC: Uh-huh. Winning the competition became the high point and there was nowhere else to go afterward, at least not for me. I had no direction, no guidance and just floundered on the dock like a ..well, flounder. I always felt like I blew my shot. Traffic school at least was a way to figure out if I wanted to continue or not and actually became a fairly positive point in my life.
ETC: How else are you and Calvin alike?
SC: We both share this obsession with time. That comes out of insecurity as well. It stems from fear. Fear of running out of time before making one's mark in the world, which of course is the most futile act in the grand scheme of things. It 's tough to look at the big picture. No one wants to be made to feel insignificant. But then again, perception is everything. I guess it depends which end of the telescope you're looking through.
ETC: Or microscope.
SC: Yep. But you know, I have come to realize that worrying about wasting time is really one big waste of time.
ETC: What other ways do you and Calvin differ?
SC: You mean other than the killings and all? Calvin's an isolationist, like I said before. That's not healthy. You have to talk to somebody. All he does is talk to himself. He doesn't take responsibility for his actions and feels like a martyr. When he feels that the whole world is against him, he takes it out on his telemarketer. Calvin becomes a bully just to make him feel better about himself.
ETC: Why didn't you describe what Calvin looks like?
SC: I purposelessly left it vague. I preferred to let the reader fill in those gaps. Calvin makes a lot-I mean a lot of disparaging comments about certain characters' weight or appearance and other than the cold sore he has, Calvin doesn't talk about his own physical shortcomings. He's really immaturely shallow in those regards. He's a hypocrite. He hates it when others judge him, yet he feels justified criticizing everybody else. The readers can take their own shots if they wish. But I don't let Calvin get away with anything. Not one bit.
ETC: Doesn't Calvin's last name, Wheeler, have some significance?
SC: Why, yes it does. It actually comes from an old Goofy cartoon from the "50s or '60s about road rage, of all things. It wasn't called that back then. Anyway, Goofy was kind of a Jekyll/Hyde character. The nice guy was Mr. Walker who loved babies and kittens and whatever. But once he got behind the wheel he transformed into the monster Mr. Wheeler. Once again, another act of larceny on my part. I remember seeing this cartoon on THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY, but I might have also seen it in driver training. I would have loved to have shown it in traffic school.
ETC:RED ASPHALT is dedicated to Don and Mike. Who are they?
SC: Radio Gods. Don Geronimo and Mike O'Meara are the hosts of the nationally syndicated radio show aptly named The Don and Mike show. I've been listening to them since about the time I conceived RED ASPHALT back in the early '90s. It's a talk show, not unlike Howard Stern's…of that comedic genre, shall we say. Some people like Howard, I prefer Don and Mike. I always did. I still am a big fan even I listen to them on tape delay here in Portland. I give them a lot of the credit for keeping me from turning into Calvin.
ETC:How so?
SC: By just making me laugh. Don and Mike have a way of drawing listeners into their world and making them part of the conversation. It's like hanging out with your best friends and shooting the shit for a few hours a day. When they came along, I was going through a rough patch. My family life was in turmoil, I really couldn't stand my job and I had a lot of doubts that would ever do anything of any sort significance again. I felt like my creative pilot light had just blown out. I actually remember the moment that it happened and it scared the holy shit out of me. I had questions about my sanity too. To keep my mind off my ongoing pain, I'd listen to the radio while I worked. In those days, it was mighty slim pickings. Music was in the dumpster, So there was talk radio.There were the doctors-Dean Edell and Laura Schlesinger, two different ends of the spectrum, both equally maddening. The right wing wingnuts drove me batty. NPR put me to sleep. And there was Larry King, just off nights and starting a daytime snoozefest. Suddenly came this show originating from Washington,D.C. It was childish and immature at times, but also wise and accessible also, sometimes all at the same time. On top of all that, it was balls-out funny. It made me forget what I was commiserating about and just laugh it off. My problems would still there, but they were a hell of a lot easier to deal with after I would laugh my ass off. Comedy is therapeutic. For me, so is The Don and Mike Show. Don is retiring this year and Mike is going off on his own, so I dedicated just in the nick of time. As I say in the dedication, it's my thanks to them for making me laugh when I needed it the most. And I still do.
ETC: RED ASPHALT is self-published, is it not?
SC: Yes, it is, through an online publisher called Lulu that I published NOW THAT'S FUNNY! through. I tried to get it published the conventional way. I finished my book in 2004 and sent it to over three dozen publishers and at least twenty agents. Nothing. I got frustrated and thought RED ASPHALT should see the light of day and not sit in storage forever. Sending it out is time consuming…there's that goddamn time thing again! It's true. So I went back to Lulu and here we are. It's a bear doing it all yourself. I recommend it only if you have the stamina. Self publishing is one thing, but promotion and marketing...?Oy. It's all online and I'm not exactly that computer savvy. I'm pretty much of a Luddite as it is. I'm self taught on this infernal contraption. Don't get me started! (old man voice) "You kids and your Internets! And your music... it's just noise!"I really wish someone else had do all this for me, but here I am and I'm not going to let myself down. This way is extremely time consuming too, but at least it's moving forward. I'm all about forward momentum at this point in my life. Of course, explaining all this to my grandson Sebastian put it all in perspective. I told him about publishing the book myself after it got turned down and he just said, "What's the matter? Didn't they think it was any good?" Out of the mouth of babes, as they say. By the way, he's out of the will.
ETC: Well, there is one other main difference between you and Calvin?
SC: What's that?
ETC: Unlike Calvin, your book is published.
SC: You're right. You know what? You're okay.
ETC: So am I.
SC: Yeah. Huh

Trinity bat company, known for their wood bats often used in the pros, recently released an aluminum BBCOR bat. We spent time with the bat in the cage and discussed the bat and its metrics at a Trade Show as well as over email with the folks at Trinity. On the whole, the single piece aluminum BBCOR bat is a great wood replicator in the sense of an end loaded, big hitting stick for the serious player. In more detail, the following is our Trinity BBCOR Bat Review.

Trinity T7 BBCOR Bat Article Contents
- Trinity bat company, known for their wood bats often used in the pros, recently released an aluminum BBCOR bat. We spent time with the bat in the cage and discussed the bat and its metrics at a Trade Show as well as over email with the folks at Trinity. On the whole, the single piece aluminum BBCOR bat is a great wood replicator in the sense of an end loaded, big hitting stick for the serious player. In more detail, the following is our Trinity BBCOR Bat Review.
Trinity T7 BBCOR Bat Sources
There is not a huge amount of information on the internet about Trinity's T7 Aluminum BBCOR bat, though we did find a little bit of information on Trinity's site directly. We also found their Instagram page helpful in terms of a few images. Amazon has a product link at their site, but it has yet to be reviewed by anyone.
Our main source of insight for the bat was our direct use. We hit the bat with several different players under a few different conditions. We hooked up some bat analytical sensors to get a better feel for swing speeds and bat control.
Trinity T7 BBCOR Bat Recommendations
If you consider the T7 Trinity BBCOR bat a wood replicator in terms of feel and weight distribution, you will have a good idea of who the bat is for. In large measure, we believe it could replace the wood BP bat some high school or collegiate players use, due to its heavier swing weight and very stiff feel. The additional durability of the aluminum construction is a plus, too.
As such, we would recommend the T7 for game play to stronger player who wants to make their future transition to wood as seamless as possible. This bat, combined with enough strength for bat speed, will do serious damage—truly, as much damage as is allowable. But we do note, only a real ox could swing this bat like it needs to be swung.
For less strong or newer players, the bat might serve as a good over-weighted training bat with good durability and a unique look. The shortest offering is 32-inches, so few high school underclassman will find it in the size they prefer.
Trinity T7 BBCOR Bat Comparable Options
This Trinity T7 reminds us of Old Hickory's attempt at a single piece aluminum bat. Both are built by wood bat companies, and their preference for wood bats is apparent in these aluminum bat's endload and wood like feel. Both, we believe, replicate wood bats with their stiff feel, and with both, a strong hitter could be successful.
Another more 'mainstream' bat the T7 compares well with, would be Easton's Z-Core XL. We refer to that bat, you may recall from our review, as the aluminum log. It is a favorite among many strong collegiate players. If you can hold swing speed constant, no bat will do more damage than the Z-Core XL. That holds true for the T7, as well. If you can swing it well, you should swing it often.
Trinity T7 BBCOR Bat Sizing
As of release, the BBCOR Trinity T7 aluminum bat is offered in a 32 and 33-inch length. Those are, of course, drop 3 bats. (The drop, you should know, is the numerical difference between the weight of the bat in ounces and the length of the bat in inches).
We are using the phrase "BBCOR Trinity bat" in this section often. We are hopeful none will read that implying it is the only BBCOR certified bat Trinity makes. Remember, wood bats are allowed in most BBCOR leagues, and Trinity make some of the best wood bats in the business. Those wood bats are also "BBCOR Trinity bats". The bat under consideration for this review is the BBCOR Trinity T7 bat.
Trinity T7 BBCOR Bat Construction
The Trinity BBCOR T7 aluminum bat is a single piece bat. If this bat world is unfamiliar to you, you should note that many metal and composite bat companies make multi-piece bats. Most common in the high school ranks are two piece composite bats. Others often use hybrid bats that consist of a composite handle and an aluminum barrel. Others, more recently, are single piece hybrid bats that use an aluminum bat, but an extended composite end cap. Each of these innovations, at least in part, produce a lighter swinging bat than one that is simply full aluminum.

Tweedside paid $25.60, $10, and $7.90 and topped a $66 exacta. Sweetest Thing paid $3 and $2.60. Golden Corona was worth $5.30 to show. (Chart, Equibase)
Tweedside held off favored Sweetest Thing and 13-1Golden Corona at the wire to win Saturday's $150,000 Sheepshead Bay Handicap (gr. IIT) by a nose at Belmont Park. The 4-year-old daughter of Thunder Gulch completed the 1 3/8 miles in 2:13.63 on a turf course rated "good" and with the temporary rail set at 18 feet.Tweedside tracked pacesetter Refugee through the early fractions just to the inside of longshot Steiners Baby Girl. Sweetest Thing settled in the back of the pack under Mark Guidry as Refugee ran a half-mile in :47.66 and six furlongs in 1:12.61. Tweedside remained in third place after a mile in 1:37.43, but was just a length behind Refugee, then swung out as they raced into the stretch. Tweedside swept to the lead as Sweetest Thing rallied wide in the stretch. Under John Velazquez, Tweedside just lasted at the wire to notch the win, her sixth in 15 starts and second in a graded stakes race."Coming to the quarter-pole, Refugee had the lead and I know that she likes to fight. Instead of waiting, I wanted to go after her and surprise her," said Velazquez. "She had no fight in her and I went, `Oh, no.' We passed the eighth-pole with a big lead, but she started to lose interest like she always does. I was hoping she would see the other horses coming, which she did. She wasn't startled by them, and gave me one last surge."Golden Corona closed well to finish third, another nose-length farther back. Owsley finished another half-length back in fourth, followed by Peanut Gallery, Critical Eye, Mot Juste, Kentucky Rose, Refugee, and Steiners Baby Girl.Guidry feels the wide trip made the difference."She was closing real hard," he said. "She was hitting her best stride at the quarter-pole. I didn't want to stay inside; I didn't want to get stopped. I had to go outside of everyone, and that wound up costing us the race."The Todd Pletcher-trained Tweedside earned owners Eugene and Laura Melnyk $90,000 for the win. Last year at Belmont Park, she won the 1 1/2-mile Coaching Club American Oaks (gr. I) by 7 3/4 lengths over the ill-fated Exogenous. She has also won the listed Sands Point Stakes and finished second in the Hilltop Stakes. Dr. and Mrs. R. S. West and Mr. and Mrs. Mackenzie Miller bred her in Kentucky.

text: In addition to the accuracy problem, the compass on my Epic seems to be really out of whack. It doesn't maintain a consistent reading (it jitters quite a bit) and has a difficult time finding North. I've seen this behavior exhibit itself in the GPS Test application and Google Maps. Am I the only one seeing this problem? Edit: I loaded GPS Test on my girlfriends HTC Eris and her compass is accurate and a lot less jittery

Drew Barrymore married her fiancé of five months, Will Kopelman, this weekend in an intimate ceremony at their estate in Montecito, California.
The actress, 37, who is pregnant with the couple's first child, wore Chanel for the ceremony (her new husband's father, Arie Kopelman is a former Chanel CEO).
Famous faces who turned up to celebrate with the newlyweds included Cameron Diaz, thought to have been Drew's bridesmaid, Reese Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth, Busy Phillips and American TV chat show host Jimmy Fallon.
A source told People magazine that the nuptials were a "classic, simple, very pretty, garden-inspired wedding", which was organised by celebrity wedding planners Yifat Oren and Stefanie Cove, the same people that organised Reese Witherspoon and Jim's ceremony.
Congratulations to the happy couple.

Barbara describes herself as a "behind the scenes worker," but those who know her, know that she is the woman to get the job done.
One of her coworkers shared with us how Barbara has always had a passion to "help" students. Her coworker recalled a student that had a very troubled home life. He didn't care whether his math or science was completed. Many times this student came to Barbara to visit about an upsetting episode that occurred the night before.
Barbara saw his cry for help. She continuously wanted to get into his inner circle and help him make positive changes to help him find his way to success in the classroom, his family, and life out of school. Being a fan of the arts, she introduced her class to interactive plays. Barbara exposed the students to plays by video, sharing experiences from Carnegie Arts. This certain student was hooked. He had a natural way of speaking and acting correctly while performing in class plays.
The class walked to the Depot for an experience of showing the students how and where live performances are shown. Again, this student came alive while walking on the stage and seeing the props. Our volunteer took the time to get this little guy involved in a "real" performance. Barbara drove him to practices and stayed involved with his improving acting skills. It just takes someone to care. That someone was Barbara, she turned that little guy around and he started making better decisions at school. Since he couldn't perform without passing grades (her rule) guess what? He started doing his daily assignments. She changed his life in fifth grade. I know this young man remembers what our volunteer did to help improve his attitude, trust, and community responsibilities. I do know she treated her students genuinely day in and day out. Her coworker said she was lucky to have worked with Barbara for many years. She made a difference.
In 2010 Barbara became a CASA volunteer. Having adopted her own children, she knew the ins and outs of the imperfect court system and uses this knowledge to help the families she works with. During her years as a volunteer, Barbara has worked tirelessly to provide resources to the families to help them succeed. Due to her loving nature, the children easily feel comfortable with Barbara. She goes out of her way to help others and genuinely cares about others.
A former student of Barbara's, was a mother of a family she worked with. The mother struggled to get along with others on the case team. When our volunteer was assigned to the case, the parent remembered her and knew she could trust her. Because of the prior relationship this parent had with Barbara, she was able to make the needed changes and her children were allowed to return home.
Not only does Barbara work on cases, she also helps each year on the Chocolate Dreams planning committee, as "behind the scenes" help. There is nothing Barbara cannot do. Thank you to our 2016 Volunteer of the Year—Barbara Straight!

• Serge Ferrari composite membranes
> Stamisol FA
> Area: 285 m2
Perfect environmental integration was the prime criterion for selecting the Schifflände Restaurant conversion design, based on elegant, discreet merging with Hallwiler Lake's outstanding landscape.
A challenge brilliantly taken up by the LIGNO in-Raum architectural practice through its design involving a wood-clad façade featuring vertical slats and Stamisol FA breathable, waterproof membrane, combining to enhance both aesthetics and thermal performance.
In 2009, architects at the LIGNO in-Raum practice were commissioned with converting the Schifflände restaurant, a traditional building nestling in an idyllic landscape on the banks of the Hallwiler Lake. The building's state of dilapidation and its low ceiling height weighed strongly in favour of complete reconstruction. The project was directly inspired by the restaurant's natural environment and the surrounding topography.
Quintessential environmental integration
The architects imagined a plinth supporting a straight building, 2 metres higher than the old structure.
Its upper section with its wood façade and gable roof comprises 2 floors accommodating a dining room for 100 guests and 5 bedrooms.
To achieve perfect harmony with the landscape, the façade was covered with pre-painted grey Oregon pine cladding to form a slender linear structure featuring slats over 10 metres high extending up to the gable apex. This ensures the elegance, charm and sobriety of the premises, while suggesting a warm welcoming environment.
In the centre, a break in the cladding reflects the edge outline, bringing subtle rhythm to the structure.
The intentionally deep set window openings create fascinating breaks protected by sun blinds. Certain and windows and balconies are revealed behind the cladding slats to form a homogeneous, peaceful arrangement punctuated by areas protected from view.
Stamisol FA façade membrane: convincing arguments
The tongue-and-groove joints between the 10 mm-spaced vertical cladding slats were glued, and then mounted in units to the supporting frame composed of black lasured horizontal rails.
The architects opted for black Stamisol FA breathable waterproof membrane specially designed by Serge Ferrari for exposure behind the open-work timber siding. Stamisol FA, a reliable and durable composite membrane that is ultra-resistant to UV rays, heat and dampness, possesses unmatched performance characteristics:
• Exceptional service life
• Resistance to extreme wind forces (membrane and assemblies),
• Long-term wall protection against water ingress and wind effects,
• High breathability and imperviousness preventing condensation risks and efficiently repelling dampness to the exterior,
• Enhanced aesthetics through greater contrast and depth,
• 10-year warranty.

When we were planning Little Man's nautical themed toddler room - I put myself on a serious budget.
There are so many cute room decorations and furniture pieces that if left to my own devices, I could spend more than a pretty penny updating each room in our home. But since I know that his toddler room design will last likely the same amount of time that the nursery decor did {2-3 years tops}, I wanted to make sure we stayed in line and kept it low-cost.
We purchased furniture from IKEA and Target, bought fabric & had some amazing friends and family make curtains, bedding, and bunting flags, as well as found accessories on the cheap.
Several of the items in his toddler room were already sitting around our home - including a set of three wicker baskets I was able to quickly re-purpose for only the cost of a few bottles of spray paint.
The paint job for these baskets literally took me around 15 minutes to complete. I took them out into our backyard, set them on an unfolded shipping box, and painted away. {The shipping box was preferable to a sheet as I was spray painting in the grass - so the base of the baskets sitting on a flat surface was better for even paint at the bottom.} I believe it only took me two {thicker} coats of paint and then I was finished. The spray paint I used was a Krylon paint + primer - and I used two different colors, brown and white. In total, this project cost me around $16 total.
Overall, I'm really, really happy with the way this DIY project turned out. Simple, easy, affordable, and quick! We use these baskets to store extra toys, shoes, clothes - whatever!

Patient Safety
Hospital personnel are well trained to meet emergencies, including fires, tornados, and the handling of hazardous substances. Safety inspections and fire drills are held routinely and there are ongoing safety education programs for all staff. The Richland Hospital also participates in a number of state and national patient safety initiatives, such as fall prevention, assuring that surgical sites are consistently marked correctly, and prevention of hospital acquired infections.
Here are some steps you can take to stay safe.
Fall Prevention
- Use your call light for help
- Wear non-skid slippers or shoes
- Let staff know if there is a spill on the floor
- Always ask for help if you feel weak or lightheaded
- Use the call light cord in the bathroom if you become weak or need assistance
- Remind the nurse to keep your phone and bedside table within easy reach
- Keep the room uncluttered
- Be sure the night light is on when needed
General Safety
- Staff should be checking your name and birth date each time a medication is given or test is done—if it is not, ask them why.
- If you notice that any hospital staff are not either using hand cleansing gel or washing their hands before caring for you, please ask them to do so.
- Always remember to SPEAK UP.
- Speak up if you have questions or concerns, and if you don't understand, ask again.
- Please ask about treatments and medication your healthcare professionals are giving you.
- Educate yourself about your diagnosis, the medical tests you are undergoing, and your treatment plan. We have information available.
- Ask a trusted family member or friend to be your advocate.
- Know what medications you take and why you take them. Medication errors are the most common health care mistakes. The more information you can give us, the more accurate our records will be.
- Ultimately, you are the most important person on your healthcare team.
- Participate in all decisions about your treatment.
