Structurally missing data problems in multiple list capture–recapture data
van der Heijden, Peter G.M., Zwane, Eugene and Hessen, David (2009) Structurally missing data problems in multiple list capture–recapture data. AStA Advances in Statistical Analysis, 93, (1), 5-21. (doi:10.1007/s10182-008-0098-6).

Multiple-list capture–recapture data can be used to estimate the size of a population. In this manuscript two problems are studied and solved using a common solution. The first problem is that the lists refer to different but overlapping populations. An example is that lists refer to different but overlapping regions, different but overlapping periods in time, or different but overlapping age groups. The second problem is that each list has a set of covariates and the sets of covariates are not identical. By considering both problems as missing data problems, a solution is obtained through the EM algorithm. This approach is illustrated by two examples.

Queen Mary 2 (QM2) Cruise Review by rgaudet: Transatlantic crossing review from a first timer

Compare Prices on Queen Mary 2 (QM2) Transatlantic Cruises
Transatlantic crossing review from a first timer
Needing a break a decided to book a westbound transatlantic cruise on the Queen Mary 2. It lived up to my heightened expectation. I loved the ship in almost every way. It's beautiful with great public rooms. I especially loved the Chart Room and the Commodore club.
Accommodations were fine. I spent more to get a glass balcony and was very happy I did. We had many days of great weather and was able to sit out, drink my coffee and enjoy the ocean views. While the rooms aren't large, they were perfectly adequate. The staff did a great job keeping it clean. In fact the service in the entire ship was top notch.
I was surprised by the high quality of the food. Despite serving over 1000 at a time, the quality remained high. I'm a vegetarian and was pleased that there was always two and sometimes three options for entrees.
Entertainment was great. In one trip I heard classical, jazz, swing, harp and more. And all the musicians were great. But the real More
treat was seeing Roger Daltrey live. He was not announced but played twice, once in the theatre and once in the pub. It will be hard to top that!
I enjoyed running on the deck and the fitness centre. Although I was surprised there were surcharges for fitness classes. I also enjoyed the lectures, they were a nice way to spend an hour.
The only real surprise for me, as a first timer, was the amount we could feel the motion of the ship. The seas were not rough but one day there was a lot of movement and I even got a little sea sick. It's just a point for anyone else who is a first timer! Less

Until diesel starts following the trend, I'm going to start charging for pulling X-boxes out of the ditches, running neighbors stuff to the dump, and Sally or Joey's bed to college dorms .
My cheapest gas was 11.9 cents a gallon. The stations used to have gas wars to see who could draw in the most customers. But this was in the 50's. I got out of the Service in 1956. Got a job at the Lazy "B". Bought myself a car, a 1951 Pontiac with an inline 6, Flushamatic tranny and about 12 MPG. You didn't worry about the price of gas back then. You just pulled up to the pump and said "Filler up". I made $ 1.60 cents an hour at Boeing. Second shift added 12 cents to your hourly pay. I had more money that I knew what to do with. It sure isn't that way now. Bring back the good old days.
You want to 'pay up' come to Southern Oregon! Reason same is all the fuel has to come out of Corvallis (or Eugene?) and trucked 150'sh miles ... then the truck has to drive back empty. There is no free lunch.
Ya know, when I first saw the title of this thread I thought OMJ was going to regale us with tales of his gastric problems! FWIW, regular's currently about 3.239 out here on the Kitsap Peninsula. Edit: Just got back from town and it's 3.219 today!
Here's the problem with electric cars. Even if they can improve the range to 500 miles between charges, you still need to stop for a charge and that takes a lot of time. Unless they can reduce the charge time down to the same amount it takes to fill up a gas tank, electric cars will not be practical for your primary form of transportation. If you use the vehicle just to roam around a large city, they are very practical. But if I planned to drive to YNP in an electric car, it would take me a long time due to the length of time it takes to charge the battery when it requires a recharge. Electric vehicles make sense if you live in the East and make short trips. But we out here in the West tend to drive long distances so finding a charging station and waiting for the vehicle to recharge is problematic.
That reminds me of the guy at his doctor appointment where Doc tells him: "You should give up smoking, drinking and chasing women." He replies "Well, if I do that can I maybe live to be 100?" Doctor answers "No guarantees of that but it will sure as hell seem that long!!"
Well, until they can make a rig powerful enough to pull my trailer up two passes in one trip at 70 mph.... I'm out. Besides, think of this scenario : 99,999 out of 10,0000 people driving battery cars, and I get the 1 dude that's txting, as he flies through a red light driving a Suburban...
I don't know why anyone would buy gas in Leavenworth at those two 76 stations: they're both owned by the same bunch, and they rip people off. Locals go to the Shell at the Y down the road on hwy 2, just past the turn off to 97 over Blewett Pass. Last time I gassed up it was $3.25
John D Rockefeller invented the rail tanker car back in the days of the oil & railroad barons. (one hellofa long time ago) CSX (railroad company) commercials claim they can move five tons of freight (1647gal/gasoline) one mile on one gallon of fuel. The interstate highway system spawned the era of long haul truckers. This is nonsense! You cannot convince me that there are not more economical ways of transporting product to market than long haul trucks.
You are quite correct sir. Waterborne transport is the most fuel efficient, followed by rail.....unfortunately we've torn much of that system up, which we'll deeply regret one day.
Actually, they have come quite close. It's called a pipe line. Problem is, for one reason or another, often under the guise of something else, it has come up against a lot of resistance.
Yep right on, if you have a 30 yr commodity that can be delivered via pipeline at a lower cost than what is currently is in use.... why wouldn't you want to develop it? It's not just the oil companies, there's a lot more that plays into it including taxes for the feds and states. How many times have you heard of the Alaksan pipeline leaking oil like the Exxon Valdez? IMO still one of the best engineering marvels of the 20ith century.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
The Commission, as a collegial body, formulates policies, develops regulations governing nuclear reactor and nuclear material safety, issues orders to licensees, and adjudicates legal matters.
The NRC is headed by five Commissioners appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate for five-year terms. One of them is designated by the President to be the Chairman and official spokesperson of the Commission.
The Chairman is the principal executive officer of the Commission and is responsible to the Commission for developing policy planning and guidance for consideration by the Commission, including budget formulation. The Chairman also serves as the official spokesperson for the Commission.
The Commission as a collegial body formulates policies, develops regulations governing nuclear reactor and nuclear material safety and security, issues orders to licensees, and adjudicates legal matters.
The Commission makes decisions in several ways:
- The primary decisionmaking tool is a written issue paper submitted by the NRC staff to the Commission. Policy, security, rulemaking, and adjudicatory matters, and general information are provided in a stylized document referred to as a "SECY Paper".
- Commission Action Memoranda, known as "COMs," are written exchanges among Commissioners on issues before the Commission or a matter a Commissioner wants to bring to the attention of his or her fellow Commissioners. COMs may also come from NRC staff seeking Commission guidance.
- Commission meetings may be held with the NRC staff and/or outside parties to discuss issues before the Commission for action. Members of the public are welcome to attend and observe public Commission meetings held at the NRC Headquarters building. Unofficial transcripts are produced for each public meeting and are available on the Web for viewing or downloading approximately two days after the meeting. Public meetings are broadcast live on the Web and are archived for future viewing as indicated on our meetings page. See the Schedule of Upcoming Commission Meetings for more information.
Issues before the Commission are decided by majority vote. After the Commission completes voting on a SECY Paper or Commission Action Memoranda, the Office of the Secretary (SECY) records the decision in a memorandum to the staff called "Staff Requirements Memorandum" (SRM) and also issues a "Commission Voting Record" (CVR) which includes the record of votes and individual views of all Commissioners. SRMs are also issued following each Commission meeting to document any discussion or requests made at the meeting.
Commission Orders address appeals or motions before the Commission in such matters as license transfers, license renewals, amendments to nuclear facility licenses, and enforcement matters. In some cases CLIs are issued in export and rulemaking matters.

love the latest ep the love scene between Shouji and Nana was very well done very tasteful. Even though he can be a Jerk i feel he really does care for Nana and i thought the transition to Nana O story line was great. I love the music and how the band interacted with one another. You can tell that Nana O has some issues right off the back due to her past (like when she was talking about not wanting children) but i can understand that she cares a lot about her music. Over i think it was a great episode and will countinue to watch it.
If anyone has read the Manga how is it i am thinking about picking it up to the see the diffrences in the anime and the manga

There is no major differences between manga and anime so far except they changed the order when Hachi and Nana met. For the vol.1 manga, the background of both girls are told and they met each other in vol. 2. And of course, it's opposite in the anime.

Episode four was brilliant. I was afraid this series was going to be overhyped and somewhat disappointing but now I am more confident this is not going to be the case.
For some reason the opening song never really struck home with me until I saw Oosaki Nana's band in action. After watching this episode I proceeded to watch the OP about a dozen times. I think I like Oosaki Nana a lot more than the other Nana, in the not too many minutes we have seen her on screen so far she has managed to completely capture my attention and interest about her story and personality

Nana and Ren's seperation... so sad. It was well done. God, this anime is good! I'm grateful that there're few flaws.
I'm beginning to get used to Nana O's voice actor which I thought was quite rough for her (i.e. bad choice). ^^ The ending song keeps on rocking on. The way it fades after the "instruments" only version was so nice. Next episode we're back to the present! I hope everyone will enjoy how Nana K and Nana O interact with each other in their daily life. I really love NANA! >o< |

i really like this show. its the perfect anime to watch after honey and clover and paradise kiss ended. i like the pace too. i want a slow slow show that builds up the chars fully, not a rush job. im hoping for at least 26 episodes ....
outta the 2 nana's, i like the "dizzy" one better. she adds soo much comedy to the show and offsets the "darker" nana perfectly. i cant wait to see episodes when they start living together. i dont wanna read the manga and "ruin" the anime. |

episodes 4 and 5 have been superbly done. the fluidity of the scenes seem to just meld into each other rather than forcibly advancing scene by scene we were accustomed to in episode 2/3.
I especially liked it when the prologue transistion into the OP song. It fires me up for the show. |
2006-05-05, 11:08 | Link #198 |
Mahou Shoujo~!
I have to say that the separation scene in the live action movie was far more dramatic and heart-breaking for me than the animation version.
Episode 5 was enjoyable, but probably my least favorite of the episodes so far. (And I just loved the live action Nobu more. T.T) |

I don't know how the sequence of the events is shown in the manga but in the anime all the flashbacks and memories in the Oosaki Nana story were handled superbly. Sadly, the animation quality in the Live-Evil version of episode decreased rather dramatically compared to the previous episodes but I really liked the episode depite that.

Add one LeBron James, stir it into the pot and suddenly your city is the hottest destination for veteran free agents looking for a ring. The Cleveland Cavaliers have been linked to myriad high-profile names since their prodigal son returned, and it appears we can etch Chauncey Billups' name to that list.
ESPN.com's Brian Windhorst reported Wednesday that Billups was in Cleveland a day prior to meet with the Cavs, though the reasoning remains opaque:
Cavs did meet with Chauncey Billups. Just a visit, might turn into front office role down line, maybe player contract. Nothing imminent.
— Brian Windhorst (@WindhorstESPN) August 6, 2014
Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports reports how the workout went:
Chauncey Billups shot the ball very well in workout with Cavs & looked like he could still be a productive despite some rust, sources said.
— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) August 7, 2014
Billups, 37, suffered through a miserable season in 2013-14 in his one-season return to Detroit. The 2004 Finals MVP averaged a career-low 3.8 points and 2.2 assists per game on 30.4 percent shooting, appearing in only 19 games. Knee issues were the main culprit of Billups' absence, and there was talk he could retire after March surgery to repair his meniscus.
I assume that the Cavs met with Billups about a front office position because he was done as a player 3 years ago....
— Brian Geltzeiler (@hoopscritic) August 6, 2014
Billups has played in just 61 games over the last three seasons due to myriad injury issues. A torn Achilles' tendon in 2012 turned into a cabal of injuries the following season and his knee bothered him for much of 2013-14. Expected to bring veteran leadership and floor spacing to a team in desperate need of both, Billups' body led to him failing in both regards.
The Pistons scuffled through their sixth consecutive season below the .500 mark and fifth without a playoff appearance. The team chose not to exercise its team option on Billups in June, allowing him to become a free agent.
Brian Geltzeiler of hoopscritic.com shared his thoughts on Billups' visit with the Cavs:
The Cavs have gone through the most transformative makeover of any team this summer, starting with James' surprise return on a two-year deal. The four-time league MVP came back to Cleveland after four years in Miami, leading to a flock of Heat retreads coming along. Mike Miller and James Jones were officially introduced this week, and numerous reports have linked Ray Allen to Cleveland.
ESPN's Marc Stein noted earlier this week that veteran forward Shawn Marion is also leaning toward joining the Cavs. All these aging players attempting to nudge their way into the Cavaliers rotation may create a logjam, though Cleveland's next big move may help unload some of that depth. The Cavs are widely expected to trade for Timberwolves forward Kevin Love later this month, using a package highlighted by Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett.
"Anything we do will be about those big rocks," general manager David Griffin said, per Waiting for Next Year's Scott Sargent. "We're going to continue to surround ourselves with the right type of people. We're always trying to get better."
Losing Wiggins would theoretically open up a spot at backup shooting guard. The Cavs will also likely be using the non-guaranteed contracts of John Lucas III, Malcolm Thomas and Erik Murphy as salary filler to facilitate a deal. As it stands, no future moves are likely from Cleveland because the roster stands at 15 players.
A Love deal in which multiple players are sent out would free space for Billups, Marion, Allen or whoever else desires a shot at a ring. LeBron's presence allows the Cavs the opportunity to pick and choose their veteran poison.
If it comes down to two of the three between Allen, Marion and Billups, the latter may be left out in the cold. Billups might want to hope Allen's flirtation with retirement comes to fruition over the next few weeks. Otherwise, his future employment may be in the front office whether that was the plan for 2014 or not.

Recent reviews:
March 16, 2015 - these are cute and my daughter loves them !
March 10, 2015 - I'm not a fan of the metallic look, but based on reviews that said they were not so metallic at all, I ordered them. I find them very metallic looking, so that's a strike against them. I had to order up a 1/2 size, and that makes them a tiny bit too large. This is a problem because the soles are very stiff. I feel like I'm wearing ski boots - impossible to walk normally in these. Off to Goodwill.
January 30, 2015 - I LOVE these boots!. They are warm and toasty and very cute. I wear a 7 and this fit comfortably with toe room to spare, so I am able to wear them with thick, fluffy socks for added warms. They are lightweight, so I would not wear them for extreme weather and I don't wear them when it's very wet outside.
November 22, 2014 - Great boots!! I bought two pairs as gifts. I gave one already and she loved it. Still waiting on the other one till X-mas. A great deal!!
November 14, 2014 - These boots run very small. My normal size is 7, usually leaving enough space to wiggle my toes. These feel more like a 6; they really squish my toes. No wiggle room at all, even without socks. I'm disappointed, because I can't exchange them for a bigger size. 7 is all they have left. I'll probably give them to Goodwill. The color is pretty, but a paler gold than pictured, and near as I can tell, they are well made. Just don't order these unless your normal size is 6! Or 5.5 if you want to wear them with thick socks!

Welcome to the Svendsen Tech Wiki.
It's about PowerShell, Perl, Python, Linux, Windows, technology, programming, system administration and that which seems relevant.
I feel a need to mention that this wiki has been a work in progress, and I've learned and picked up new things along the way. The early PowerShell articles don't always conform to my current preferred style, which is influenced heavily by the official guidelines. The style guidelines can be found here (I haven't read all of them yet). I am considering rewriting some of the code, but it's tedious and it should mostly be fine logically and functionally, so the motivation is somewhat lacking.

"The aim of science is to make difficult things understandable in a simpler way; the aim of poetry is to state simple things in an incomprehensible way. The two are incompatible."
-- Paul Dirac
Depends on the circumstances. California, and Florida and quite a few other states, have an explicit exception to the 'far right as practicable' (FRAP) rule when the lane width is insufficient for a motor vehicle and a bicycle to safely share the lane while riding side-by-side. Doing so requires a width of about 14' when considering the width of the bike, motor vehicle, ~3' passing distance, and some maneuvering space. Most roads where cyclists ride have lane widths under 14' so on these roads the FRAP rule doesn't apply, therefore allowing the cyclist to choose a position anywhere within the lane.
So yes, in many cases that is lawful in my state - and in yours as well (exceptions being roads with unusually wide lanes and roads with appropriate bike lanes).
The last thing I want to do here is stir the pot, but it is incumbent upon us (cyclists) to demonstrate courtesy to motorists on every ride and avoid situations to the extent practicable that are natural irritants to drivers.
I recently observed a cyclist on a three wheeler who had traffic backed up about 3/4 mile going across a long bridge. There was a wide concrete sidewalk on the bridge with easy access on both ends, but the cyclist chose the road during 5pm traffic; and he was slow. To me, given the circumstances, it was an opportunity to allow traffic to flow without giving up the cyclist's right to share the road. It was an opportunity to avoid being an irritant.
We are a small minority in terms of total traffic population, but we are the ones who create the complete image of cyclists in our communities. I firmly believe our behavior can shape the image favorably by being courteous and thoughtful, clearly signaling our moves, letting people know we appreciate their conscious efforts to give us space, and by being friendly.
We have rights, and they must be exercised in order to preserve them. We also have the responsibility to be good will ambassadors. Our goal should be to positively advance the image of cycling in our community while tolerating the ass holes we could never impact in a favorable way.
Well said SwampDude. I agree completely. We all know to "take the lane" when space is tight and you can't be passed safely. We should also all learn to "give the lane" when conditions are reasonably safe for passing. And if you're not super-pressed for time, load yourself up with a little bonus karma by pulling out of the road entirely once in a while if you're accumulating a line of cars behind you.
It isn't legal to ride on the sidewalk in Florida. See Bicycle Traffic Law | Florida Bicycle Association
Without doing something illegal, I don't see how the cyclist you are annoyed with can exercise his rights, and yet be a good will ambassador (with good will ambassador defined as someone who does not bother motorists)
The website you cited says: "Sidewalk Riding (see Section 316.2065, F.S.) When riding on sidewalks or in crosswalks, a bicyclist has the same rights and duties as a pedestrian. A bicyclist riding on sidewalks or in crosswalks must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and must give an audible signal before passing."
Doesn't say anything at all about sidewalk riding being illegal. Same as in Texas.
Sidewalk riding is actually encouraged by the City of Austin for riders who would feel "uncomfortable" in the traffic lane: "If you are not comfortable taking the lane, and its too narrow to share, either choose a different route or ride carefully along the sidewalk if one is available."
Seems that sidewalk riding laws have a lot of variability around the country.
In California, local governments can adopt ordinances allowing for sidewalk riding. Otherwise, it's forbidden although rarely enforced.
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
I don't know of any state law in California that specifies the legality of sidewalk riding. AFAIK, it's a subject that's left up to the local authorities, so in the absence of any local ordinance it would be legal. But many communities do have laws restricting it, especially in business districts.
Yup. Here's the California Highway Patrol website regarding bike laws in the state: "Some cities and counties prohibit riding bicycles on sidewalks. Other local laws deal with parking of bikes and use of pedestrian or special bicycle facilities. Check with your local government to learn what these laws are."
The code is California Vehicle Code 21206.
So it would appear sidewalk riding is legal in California unless the municipality decides otherwise.
Sorry. I had it backwards.
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
Apropos this thread, part of my commute is on a rural two-lane road with no shoulder to speak of. The road is really not wide enough for two cars and a bike to fit abreast safely at cruising speeds, so I ride far enough away from the edge to strongly discourage drivers from trying to pass me against oncoming traffic, without offending their sense of bicycles belonging AFRAP, if on the road in the first place. That has generally worked fairly well, as I haven't sensed excessive aggression against my presence (just the usual moderated aggression from a few drivers). Some drivers have misjudged relative speeds while passing and squeezed against me as oncoming traffic approaches, but in that case I have some room to my right to manoeuver. My expectation is, that if I consistently rode further to the right, I would be getting squeezed and buzzed much more frequently, with no margin to manoeuver.
Anyway, getting to the point, the majority of the road was double-yellow lined until today; and I did notice a lot of drivers were respecting the double yellow while waiting to pass me when it would have been feasible other than crossing the double yellow, i.e. previous to today. There are many rolling hills, so the double-yellow lines were not there for nothing. However, it seemed to me that the no passing zones were very conservatively laid out, perhaps not considering the relative speed difference between regular motorized traffic and bicycles (I'm the only cyclist I've seen so far on that road). So, whether there is a connection between my recent presence (just starting this spring) or not, perhaps the latest relaxation of the no-passing zones will reduce the tension level a bit. I will still take my share of the lane to discourage 3 abreast situations, but the clearly legal opportunities for motorists to move into the opposite lane in order to pass, oncoming traffic permitting, are now greatly extended.
To be clear, I should specify, this is not a busy road. Typically, a car behind me waiting to pass only has to wait a few seconds for oncoming traffic or a clear view ahead before passing.
Last edited by old's'cool; 05-28-14 at 05:55 PM. Reason: to be clear
"I think that I think, therefore I think that I am"
I ride quite a bit on double lined 2 lanes. I've asked a number of cops whether it's legal to pass a bicycle over the line, and gotten a range of opinions, running from "of course" to "absolutely not", but all of then said they'd never cite a car for a violation (including those who said absolutely not) if there were adequate site lines and distance to an approaching car, based on speed and distance.
As you point out, the no passing markings are based on the distance required to pass a car moving at or near the speed limit, and are very conservative for passing a bicycle (or tractor) moving at half that speed.
BTW- my commute brings me into a number of school bus encounters. So, being me, I asked a few cops whether it was legal for a bicycle to pass a stopped school bus. MY favorite answer was "probably not, but don't hit any kids and we won't need to find out".

Based on my observation, many drivers seem to think the center line is electrified. They exhibit far more care for a stripe of paint than for a fellow road user and human being.

"I entreat you, get out of those motorized wheelchairs, get off your foam rubber backsides, stand up straight like women! like men! like human beings!" -E. Abbey
Where I ride, the delays are "slight" because traffic isn't heavy and the opportunity to pass happens quickly. Most motorists are good citizens; they accept a slight slowdown and pass when the road is clear.
All I'm suggesting is that cyclists and motorists reciprocate when it comes to good citizenship. Give a little here, take a little there, and everybody is better off.
Goodwill points do have a way of building up over time. Thats what good reputations are made of. If we don't care how the community views us, chances are we will be viewed negatively.

WARNING, I'm from New York. Thin skinned people should maintain safe distance.
I have to disagree with this. If it's a narrow road, then the car ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT pass unless he has the ability to completely change lanes (knows there is no oncoming traffic). Moving over is encouraging the driver to try to squeeze by when he can't tell if there's another car coming, and if there is, someone's going to be in trouble, and it's going to be someone on two wheels.
Bunching up when there's not room to safely pass is actually doing the driver a favor - if you have 30 bikes in a group, if they're single file you need to pass maybe 300 feet. If they triple up, the car only needs to pass a line of 100 feet long. In both cases the car should completely change lanes.
If it's a nice, wide road, then I can get behind going into single file because then cars can pass you within the lane.

Simplicity Champion
The Simplicity Champion zero turn lawnmower is another quality machine from the team at Simplicity. It gets it's power from a Briggs & Stratton Extended Life Series, 2 cylinder engine. This engine produces 26 hp and fortunately uses a very large muffler to reduce the noise of the exhaust so it won't be too loud to use in residential neighborhoods. The engine draws gas from a fuel tank that can hold up to 24.6 liters (6.5 US gallons). To transfer power from the engine to the wheels a dual hydrostatic Hydro-Gear transmission is used which allows the operator to control each rear wheel independently. This ability to control the wheels independently is what allows you to execute zero radius turns.
The rear wheels on the Simplicity Champion measure 20×8-10 (20 inch diameter, 8 inch width, 10 inch rim diameter), while the front wheels measure 11×4-5 (11 inch diameter, 4 inch width, 5 inch rim diameter). The front wheels are only half the size as they provide no traction or steering to the Champion, the rear wheels take care of that. The mower deck on this mower has a cutting width of 52 inches, although it's total width when the discharge flap is down comes to 62 inches.
The 3 blade deck on the Simplicity Champion is hand adjusted over 7 different positions from 1.5 inches above the ground to 4.5 inches above the ground in 0.5 inch increments. The mower deck has rear rollers to flatten the grass after it has been cut. Located on the leading edge of the mower deck you will find small anti scalp wheels whose job is to keep the deck above the ground and from catching on random lumps in the lawn.Other models of zero turn lawnmower that are similar to the Champion include the Simplicity ZT2000 and the Simplicity ZT3000 zero turn lawnmowers.

i mow lawns commercially with this mower and a simplicity 14-38 Z.I own also a 1988 285 john deere and it doesn't even come close to being as dependable, and far as mowing does not do as good of job mowing as the simpicity champion or the 14-38 Z

A Course for Teaching English Learners (CTEL Handbook) offers strategies to equip teachers to work with English language learners, balancing fundamental principles with practical classroom techniques. This book offers in a single volume a wealth of background principles underlying the cultural, linguistic, and sociocultural contexts and foundations of learning and by providing a comprehensive framework that doesn't only focus on reading and writing. Provisions in the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) call for yearly accountability in English language growth for language-minority students. The CTEL Handbook addresses the new focus on testing procedures, as well as adaptation for English learners during the test-taking process. Throughout, Lynne Diaz-Rico provides the necessary background knowledge needed to educate English learners and also includes a variety of classroom methods for English language development in listening, speaking, reading, writing, and computer-assisted instruction. --From publisher's description.

SUSAN DOUGLAS RUBES March 13, 1925 - January 23, 2013 Died peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Wednesday January 23.
Beloved wife of the late Jan Rubes (2009) and much loved mother of Jonathan (Judith), Tony (Brenda) and the late Christopher (1996). Inspirational grandmother to Morgan, Colin (Claudia) and Jasan. Also survived by half-brothers, Clement Weinberger (New Jersey) and Mirek Burstein (Czech Republic) and their families.
Born in Vienna, Susan emigrated to New York with her mother Charlotte in 1939, where she became an acclaimed Broadway, radio and film actress and had a starring role on the Guiding Light for 10 years.
To Susi, her family was important beyond all else. Yet, she still made time to found Young People's Theatre, head up CBC Radio Drama, be the first President of The Family Channel, and receive the Order of Canada and an Honorary Doctor of Laws from University of Toronto. She was also an avid tennis player at the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club, an enthusiastic bridge player, and, with Jan, was a founding member of the Georgian Bay Golf Club.
Family, friends and co-workers knew it was impossible to say no to her. We will all miss her energy, guidance and vivaciousness very much. We invite you to share memories and condolences on Susan's online memorial book www.memorialebook.com or send to firstname.lastname@example.com or in person in the memorial book in the lobby of Young People's Theatre. Donations to Young People's Theatre or The Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care at Mt. Sinai Hospital will be gratefully received.

Force of GravityGravity or gravitational forces exist when one object attracts another. We're not talking about finding someone really cutey-wootie, awwww! We're talking about the molecules of one object pulling on the molecules of another object. It's like the Earth pulling on you and keeping you on the ground. That's gravity at work. Every object in the universe that has mass has a gravitational force. Even you exert gravity. When you compare your mass to the mass of the Earth, your gravitational force isn't very impressive. Sorry about that.Earth's GravityObviously gravity is very important on Earth. Other planets also affect our world. Our connection to the Moon's gravity makes the tides rise and fall. The Earth's gravity keeps our planet orbiting the Sun, just like the Sun's gravity pulls on our planet. When the earth spins and gravity pulls on the clouds, weather can be affected. We have to bring up an important idea now. The Earth always has the same pull on every object. If you drop an acorn, or you drop a piano, they will fall at the same speed. It is the Earth's gravity and pull that make objects speed up when they are falling. The Earth constantly pulls and objects constantly accelerate.Feathers"People always say, "What about feathers? They fall so slowly." Obviously, there is air all around us. When a feather falls, it falls slowly because the air is in the way. There is a lot of resistance and that makes the feather move slower. The forces at work are the same. If you dropped a feather in a container with no air (a vacuum), it would drop as fast as a baseball. |

Red Squadron
A One Weekend Miracle
Red Squadron is actually a collection of three robots that work together in order to accomplish a task. The objective for the squad is to make it to a location and stop. I decided to use both digital and analogue brains to show how they can work quite well in harmony. And yes, it is name after a Clone trooper squad and Rebel squad from STAR WARS.(Forgive me for the low resolution pictures, my camera isn't of the highest quality :P )
Red Leader
Red Leader is preprogrammed to go to a set location and lead the group to that location. Red Leader uses a simple PICAXE 08M2 with a very simple motor driving circuit that uses the 2907A transistor. Red Leader also has an IR beacon on its back that has a total of 10 IR LED's so that Red 1 is able to track it. All in all, a fairly rudimentary digital robot.
Red 1
Red 1 takes advantage of the LM393P, a comparotor, by comparing the left and rightside set of photodiodes. Red 1 has a balancing circuit too due to differences in individual sensors. It is also equiped with a bumper switch on the front to avoid stalling the motors and to stop when Red Leader stops. Red 1 also has a double reverse protection circuit in case the batteries are installed backwards, it also has schottky diodes on the motors to prevent motor feedback from damaging the circuit. For the motor driver circuit, it just uses a simple 2907A power circuit. Red 1 also has a 10 LED IR beacon so that RED 2 can follow the pack. Red 1 can be considered as Red 2's big brother.
Red 2
Red 2 is basically a clone of Red 1. The only exception is that it does not carry an IR beacon, a 9V battery and a holder to carry it. For more info go to #Analogue1 .
These are not the bots you are looking for
Red 2 cheking in, Red leader checking in, Red 1 checking in! Thats some awesome swarm bots you have there, dont let the empire steal your plans!
I like this! I can't wait to
I like this! I can't wait to see what you will have them do next!
Wow! Great idea and robots!
Wow! Great idea and robots! I can't wait to see your updates!!!

"A student in American and military studies at the universities of Iowa, Hull and Liverpool, David Smith has written the usual concise but comprehensive entry in Osprey Books' Campaign series, well supported by maps and illustrations by Graham Turner. Commendably, he avoids applying too much 20th century hindsight in his appraisals of the protagonists, putting them rather in the context of their own times. The result is a more understanding picture of Howe – and an undiminished appreciation of the magnitude of Washington's achievements in the wake of his New York fiasco." -Jon Guttman, Military History (June/July 2009)
"The book provides conclusions on what came after the battles and how the event steered others that followed. The final section, which for this subject is quite small, is what the battlefields are like today. Since this area has been extensively populated and reformed in the last 250 years, very little actually remains. It is a superb book on the subject and one that all students of American history should have in their libraries. I can recommend to you without reservation."- Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (May 2008)
"David Smith's New York 1776: The Continentals' First Battle details the strategies, tactics and battle experiences of opposing forces during the 1776 campaign." -California Bookwatch (May 2008)
"All the actions are described here and shown by excellent maps and birds'-eye-views, and the good selection of contemporary illustrations are ably backed by good colour plates. Highly recommended." -John Prigent, Internet Modeler (April 2008)

Pomegranate Vinaigrette Recipe:
Recipe Type: Salad Dressing, Condiments, Diet Yields: 2/3 cup Prep time: 15 min Cook time: 10 min
1 cup pomegranate juice* 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon good-quality aged Balsamic Vinegar 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
* Be sure you're buying 100% pomegranate juice, as some juices advertised as pomegranate juice are a blend of apple or grape juices with a small percentage of the more expensive pomegranate juice. POM is an excellent brand, but there are also other brands that are pure pomegranate juice.
In a small stainless steel or non-reactive saucepan over high heat, boil the pomegranate juice until reduced to 1/3 cup, approximately 9 or 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
While still warm, stir in the sugar, salt, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil; set aside to cool.
Yields approximately 2/3 cup vinaigrette.
