My first aircon in the home was Toshiba. It's been good and lasted 10 years. Only on the 5th or 6th year then need repair.
The installer that do my installation last yr gave good reviews on Toshiba aircon as its compressor was made in Japan that's why more exp compare to the rest.
You may want to research a bit more
Understood. Its not like everyday we buy hp/tablet and getting tons of reviews/costing. Thanks. I will take note. So far I choose my Tos cos my in-law Tos is still running fairly well for 12yrs at least. Most exp among ME, Pana.
I like Toshiba .
Hello Damnedegoist,
For serviceability I would prefer Mitsubishi Electric Starmex or Daikin or Toshiba.
Go get a few quotes and compare the pricing before deciding as certain companies might have promo for certain brands.
Best Regards,
Jason Tham
I was considering between Panasonic, Mitsubishi and toshiba but eventually chose toshiba as its the only one still made in Japan ( at least the compressor is) and they are the pioneer in inverter technology. The price is also the same as starmex plus they give 12k and 2x 9k blower where as starmex for this price is 3 x 9k blower.
Another factor is the energy consumption for toshiba is lower among the 3 brands I mentioned
Just went to IMM 3rd floor where all the furniture, renovation shops are.
Went to AllBest to buy a Toshiba system 3 inverter for $3298
5 years warrenty for 1x13K, 2x10k blower, compressor and installation
The sales guy told me whole set made in Japan and gave me a $120 servicing voucher done by them.
The attractive part is according to them, they don't outsource their installation. I had very bad experience with previous installer always leak after about 1 year of use.
I bought toshiba system 3 from imm all best at 3298 with extra 5 years warranty on blower parts.
Toshiba is quote over priced (IMO)I suggest ME or Daikin.
Terumo, I settled for a toshiba inverter sys 3 instead of Starmex because its made in Japan. Price wise same. Is this a good choice?
What is typical lifespan for aircon system 3/4? My Toshiba 18years going strong. Doing budget for 5year plan.lol.
Hi Terumo,
I need your help/comment on an issue.
Today, my toshiba aircon system 3 all unit cannot be turned on anymore although they are only 2 years old.
Yesterday, one of the unit cannot be turned on. I called my aircon technician to come and check the unit today.
Now all 3 units cannot be turned on as they said due to faulty wiring from fan coil to condenser. Need to change all the three wires for $350!! I asked them what caused them faulty and they said low quality wires!
I was so angry that I suspect that they messed something that caused all unit cannot be turned on where at the first place only one cannot be turned on. I have not engaged them to repair yet as I want to seek second opinion from anyone who has experience similar issue.
Please advise/comment. What actually went wrong? Did they tell the truth?
Thank you very much
Toshiba's parts are harder to get compared to other brands. Their design gathers lesser appeal compared to other brands, like Mitsubishi.
You'll have a better chance here.
For me I will get Toshiba because condenser is made in japan inverter model.
wa seh, i wanted panasonic inverterhttp://www.coolserve.com.sg/htmdocs/...ls.asp?id=3069
but the height of compressor is 795, my house's window size access to outside ledge is 790
cant even bring out
have to change other brand liao loh!
tink i go toshiba
3room flat, the old type HDB, the living room is small ba~
kitchen is even bigger.. hahas
Thanks guys~
btw was comparing between toshiba and panasonic.. end up picking toshiba.. despite the sale person saying the the panasonic has the new E-ion purification blablabla~
mm how is toshiba vs panasonic? Wahahas
think we should get used to it coz sooner or later, 'everything' is gonna be produced in china.
me? i bought Toshiba, compressor made in japan mah!
seriously i wouldn't be surprised my next air-con would be 100% made-in-china
I using toshiba made in japan and slightly cheaper den Mitsubishi.
Sales people at quite a few places told me Mitsubishi is priced more exp and popular because of their aggressive marketing campaign.
Good choice, can see the top 3 popular choice are Mitsu MHI or Electric, Toshiba, Panasonic and daikin.
Get Mit, Toshiba or Daikin, juz my views.
After a week reading feedbacks from several forums, I decided to pick Toshiba over Mitsubishi Electric for its "made in Japan" label and the drying mode function. Electricity is not a big concern since I on AC only at night 6~8hrs.But, need more advise frm AC gurus here to choose the right setups.
setup 1: RAS-3M20SACV (outdoor, 24K Cooling cap), RAS-M13SKCV (indoor) x2
setup 2: RAS-3M20SACV (outdoor, 24K Cooling cap), RAS-M13SKCV (indoor), RAS-M10SKCV (indoor)
PS: MBR is of typical 4 room flat MBR size. Total AC on time for 2nd room (guest room) in the past 3yrs <50hrs.
Mine also toshiba and same thing there is water leakage also at the area same as yours
Hi All,
I just bought a System 4 from Gain City and it was installed a week ago.
The compressor leaks water as shown below and the servicemen who came from Toshiba says that it is natural / common but I don't think so because I've never seen compressor condensing / leaking water before in my whole life except for single unit window mounted air-con or air-con inside our unit.
Can somebody share with me the situation and what should I do? Please reply to firstname.lastname@example.com if you have the exact answer so that I could quote and complain to Toshiba again tomorrow.
Toshiba at 25deg was already quite cooling on a hot afternoon... if your problem is still showing get the serviceman, since just installed should have the warranty... plus installation warrantly too to make sure the pippings are in order
Toshiba airconAfter reading thru the threads left by all of you... finally decided on my Aircon and made my move yesterday...
I bought my Aircon from GC...
It's a Toshiba unit..
Compressor is 24000 BTU model - RAS3M20SACV INVERTER. * 1
costing $2739/-
(including full installation(new pipe, new trunking and patching).
Gave me the choice of $250/- voucher (NTUC or robinson i think)
5 years (1+4) warranty by GC. ($359/-)
So i choose the 5yrs warranty to give a peace of mind... if anything spoil, they say will repair, free labour, transports.. blah blah...
I upgrade the piping from the basic to Armaflex (they say is 1/2 inch type). costing $180/-
did not take the servicing package from them as i find it too expensive (something like $70 each time).
Then they were having the promotion.. then my lucky dip gave me yet another $60/- off from the armaflex pipe... so i paid $120/- instead of the original $180/-.
they gave me a lifetime membership too... with 500 + 2800 (each dollar spent is 1 point), therefore is 3300 points (equal to $33/- voucher to offset any future purchase).
they also gave me 28 pieces of Lucky draw coupon... for the F1 race promo stuffs... so if kena lagi worthit... hahah.
(Also help me to dismantle the old Sys 4 at my house, dismantle fee $200/-,
Trade in to GC. $200/-) equal $0/-..
I think that all i could remember off...
So all in all i paid $2859/- in total including GST 7%.
Let me have your comments on my buy....
MHI sys 3 was in my mind too... when did you bought it?
S.M. at GC initially intro this MHI sys 3 to me.. around 2800 plus too...
then when i went to another GC, another S.M told me they received a quite a few complaints on sounds like pss pss sounds dunnno from the sys or the A/c pipe.... can you share if there is any such psss psss sounds?
and intro me to Hitachi... (malaysia made)....
however, Me ended up getting Toshiba... cause all the 3 brands (ME/ MHI and Toshiba), after calculating... M.E used up more $ in electricity than MHI and Toshiba
oh...ic. only system 1 hav.
yes, Toshiba hav!
thks everyone here for good info & advise
finally got the toshiba sys-3 non-inverter installed last week.. installing aircon with so many furniture inside was really no joke, like a war zone.. :p
so far so good, the 9k BTU unit is okay for my small 3room flat living room. for the FCU in living room, due to the low ceiling and high door, the gas and water pipe is separated into different trunk - the gas trunk goes upwards above the door, the water trunk goes downwards around the room.
one observation so far is that when the MBR FCU is running on 'quiet' mode, i can hear very soft 'whoo whoo' sound coming out from the trunk (can hear it better when i press my ear to the trunk). has anyone experience this before?
To: Controller,You shld get Twin compressor brands like Panasonic or Toshiba. These 2 are quite reliable brands.
Can consider Toshiba too
hm.. this is strictly my own views k?
i think the old Fujitsu had very slim/small FCU which impeded the the transfer of 'coolness' into the room. The result was cold gas in; cold gas out. And sweating was common, at least for me and another close friend.
GC told me that the newer Fujitsu model has oredi addressed this issue, and for what i see it is larger than the older one.
but one bad experience was enough for me... i went for Toshiba.
What about Daikin? Have you enquire the price for it?
I also using Toshiba System 2 smae FCU as you. Installed last year Oct by Gaincity.
My masterbed room trunking is before FCU and common room cannot see trunking at all..
Will post photo if I free tomorrow..
if you pair up with 3 FCU with a 20k BTU toshiba inverter, your full load COP is slightly higher than the Mitsubishi unit whereas part load, it is Mitsubishi which is significantly higher.
Toshiba RAS-3M20SACV: 4 ticks; 5.81kW cooling capacity; Full Load COP 3.43; Part Load COP 4.44
Mitsubishi E MXY-3A28VA: 4 ticks; 7.31kW cooling capacity; Full Load COP 3.36; Part Load COP 5.17
hi fellas...
i pass by GC today... so I went to check... yes apparently price went up... it's $3729 for Toshiba Inverter Sys-4 now.
while i got it at $3589... should be early last month bah.
I'm also a recently customer of GC and I also got a TOSHIBA Aircon.
My previous air/con trunkings were sweating a lot, and i wasn't sure if it was due to bad product or installation.
Anyhow, when the thermistor and subsequently the PCB broke down within 5 years, I decided to change.
Went GC and decided on a Toshiba Inverter Sys-4. Upgraded the copper to G22, and insulation to 3/4" (!!!).
Removal and installation of trunkings/pipes took 2 days! It was like renovation all over again! Nightmare!
But i think it was worth it... very satisfied with both product and installation.
Just had my aircon changed last friday by Gaincity. Bought the Toshiba system 3 non inverter. 2 person came at around 10 and finished at around 4pm. Just try to cover your furniture as much as possible and remove all those small small items to an area where you can close the door as it would be quite dusty, especially if they are going to drill holes around the house. Don't really need to move those big items furniture, unless its right underneath the aircon then I would strongly recommend you move, cause would be very dirty beneath the aircon.
For mine I actually used back all my old trunking cause I don't want them to destroy all my false ceiling as well if they were to tear down and change the new trunking, so that might be your consideration if your trunking is not by itself currently. 1 trip should be enough, as least for me cause you only have to clean up 1 time.
juz bought toshiba system 2(RAS3m20SACV) inverter upgrade Copper 23 to 22 and ARMFLX 1/2"
but cost about S$3078!! from GC..
seems very costly!!
ya man quite ex sia... my mitsubishi heavy industries system 3 inverter cost $2850 only
but i heard toshiba aircon quite good
wanted to buy toshiba one but my dad already bought mitsubishi liao
hi all,
yesterday i went ahead and paid for a new system-4.
Got Toshiba Inverter System-4 (10-10-10-16), upgrade to thicker insulation and copper pipes and a 5-year extended warranty for ~$4400!
Too exp? It was ~$3600 before the various upgrades: ~$400 for thicker insulation and copper pipes; and ~$400 for 4 more years of warranty.
Got Toshiba coz their Compressor Unit is made in japan, and then i found out the staffs themselves are using Toshiba in their homes.
hi, my Fujitsu (AOY36VMNM4) of less than 5 years is giving me problem again.
This time, it's the PCB. Now one of my FCU doesn't have any refrigerant pumped into it. Sianz.
Think I'm going to change it soon, coz as predicated by the Air-Con guy, things are slowly failing. double-sianz.
I thinking of Toshiba (coz my parent's place uses it for over 15 years! and it's still working! a bit rusted though), and apparently they're the only ones which still have their compressors made in Japan.
Anybody got good recommendation? Any other brands made in japan?
I just gotten Gain City to installed my Toshiba System 2.They are providing 3 years installation warranty for all installation from Aug 2008.
Was told by the Tech that to leave the power on for the compressor unit.
If off, got to on for 5min before switching on the fan coil & some resetting going on..
I actually on use the aircon at night time for few hrs, so think 'always on' not needed..
I just wondering will the compressor wasting electricity if on at all time?
dunno why so many people buy the 3 diamond brand, i think it's due to advertisement.
Panasonic and other brands are producing much better quality aircon FYI.....

Sahara DG herbicide is a type of herbicide that kills all living plants. Any kind of plant will die if it comes into contact with Sahara DG herbicide. The weed killer is typically used in applications such as railways, road building, cement laying, paving, farmyards and fence rows. The weed killer eliminates all plants to bare ground, and is used where bare ground is desired. Applying the herbicide is simple, and any adult can apply it with little trouble.
Step 1
Move any objects from the area where you want to spray or lay the Sahara herbicide. This includes furniture, toys, vehicles and any lawn decorations. Remove all plants from the area that you do not want killed.
Step 2
Consider removing any grass or plants that are in the soil to another location. Move them with a shovel or trowel to another part of your yard or garden.
Step 3
Remove any rocks or large weeds from the area. The soil should be rock-, stick-, leaf- and weed-free. Rake the area to level the soil and prepare for the Sahara application.
Step 4
Place the Sahara herbicide into the appropriate dispenser. If you are using granules, place the herbicide into the push fertilizer cart. If you are using the spray, place the spray into the spray bottle or container.
Step 5
Lay or spray the herbicide carefully over the area where you want to kill the plants. Try not to spray or place the weed killer in any area that you do not want dead. Wherever the herbicide is laid, the plants will die.
Step 6
Come back to the same area two to three days later. The plants should now be dead. If some remain, apply another application of the weed killer. Wait two more days and return again.
Step 7
Remove the dead weeds and grass from the area with a shovel. Cover the dirt with sand, rocks, cement, mulch or whatever material you want to place in that area. Weeds will come back after a few weeks if you do not cover the area.

Guest: Don't wait for dental care to become a crisis
As valuable as the Seattle Center event was, people should not have to go to a crisis care clinic to get the dental services they need, writes guest columnist Marilynn Rothen.
Special to The Times
THE young man from Tacoma was all smiles after a volunteer dentist at the Remote Area Medical (RAM) clinic at Seattle Center in October fixed his badly broken front tooth.
"Getting that done has already changed my life," he told me as he sat down to have his teeth cleaned at the hygienists' station, which I was helping to staff.
He still needed more restorative work, but many people who had been waiting three or four hours had yet to be seen at all. I asked him to come back the next day.
Unfortunately, getting from Tacoma to Seattle two days in a row would be hard for him to manage. He probably went without the care he needed.
I wondered how he and other patients we saw during the recent RAM clinic would ultimately make out.
One-time-only health clinics like this one — which saw close to 2,000 people in need of dental care in just four days — are wonderful efforts, and they make a terrific contribution to the community.
They are not, however, a substitute for routine dental care.
Across the state, our oral health-care system is failing too many low-income working families, elderly people in nursing homes, people with special needs and people who live in rural and tribal communities.
True, adult dental coverage has been restored to our state Medicaid program, and that's a big plus. That coverage has been extended to hundreds of thousands more low-income Washingtonians this year through the Affordable Care Act. But most dentists don't accept Medicaid: only one in 10 for adults, and one in five for kids. And 34 of our state's 39 counties don't have enough dentists to serve everyone.
As a result, many people wind up seeking help for dental problems in hospital emergency rooms — or at crisis-care events.
For the RAM clinic, people lined up overnight to get care. On Saturday night, we had a terrible wind storm. Many people lost their power, and the roads were littered with all kinds of debris. But Sunday morning, there was no shortage of patients. They came despite the weather. Not everyone got in.
This isn't right. People shouldn't have to camp overnight and brave bad weather to get dental care. They should be able to get quality, affordable dental care any day of the year, in their own communities.
Our goal should be to create dental homes where people can get preventive services, regular checkups and routine care. That's the way to prevent oral disease from developing and impacting overall health. Poor oral health has been linked to heart disease, clogged arteries, stroke and other serious health problems, including death.
Currently, our dental-team model in Washington isn't set up to do this. It is not flexible enough, and it needs to be strengthened.
We can fix this by adding a new kind of midlevel provider — sometimes called a dental therapist — to the dental-care team and creating an education track for dental hygienists like me to acquire more skills. These new midlevel providers would work as part of a dentist-led team, serving communities that dentists aren't reaching to provide essential preventive and routine dental care, including fillings and uncomplicated extractions.
Dental therapists do not do everything a dentist does. But by focusing on a very narrow scope of services, they would free dentists to perform the more complex procedures that only a dentist can perform.
In Alaska, dental therapists have expanded access to more than 40,000 people since they started practicing 10 years ago. They are starting to make a difference in Minnesota, and Maine recently authorized dental therapists as well.
I was proud to be a part of the RAM event. It should be a call to action to policymakers to take leadership to address the oral-health crisis. Together, we can provide innovative care for tens of thousands of Washington families — before they have to fall back on crisis care.
Marilynn Rothen is president of the Washington State Dental Hygienists' Association, which is a member of the Washington Dental Access Campaign.

Lake Andes man appealing homicide conviction
LAKE ANDES — A Lake Andes man who was convicted of two counts of vehicular homicide has appealed the case because he feels his blood was improperly used as evidence.
Ronald Fischer, 31, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the deaths of Maegan Spindler, 25, and Rob Klumb, 46. Both were U.S. Fish and Wildlife officials doing research on the Missouri River and died July 8, 2013. The vehicle Fischer was driving crashed into them while they were stopped in a motel parking lot.
Before Fischer's conviction, attorney Tim Whalen moved to suppress Fischer's blood samples, which were taken at Wagner Community Memorial Hospital and Avera McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls without a search warrant. The blood samples showed that Fischer had alcohol in his body during the crash and he was legally drunk.
Bruce Anderson, the circuit court judge presiding over the case, dismissed the Avera McKennan samples but allowed the samples from Wagner to be used as evidence. Anderson decided these were taken strictly for medical use, and they were protected due to exigent circumstances, meaning law enforcement did not have time to receive a warrant before Fischer was airlifted to Sioux Falls.
Now, Fischer and Whalen seek to discover whether the trial court committed reversible error by failing to grant Fischer's motion to suppress the Wagner samples and allowing them as evidence. In a court document, Whalen argues that law enforcement had time to obtain a warrant, which would mean the officers seized the blood samples illegally, and the samples could not be used as evidence.
Whalen said the appeal will go to the South Dakota Supreme Court. If the court affirms the decision of the trial court, then the motion to suppress remains defeated, and the situation will be unchanged.
If the Supreme Court reverses the decision of the trial court, however, then the case goes back to the circuit court for further proceedings.
Gregg Spindler, father of Maegan Spindler, said his family is not surprised that Fischer and Whalen filed an appeal.
"His bloody hands continue to shape our lives two years on," Spindler said in a written statement, quoting a line used by his daughter, Tamara, during the sentencing.
Though unsurprising, Spindler said the appeal has still impacted him.
"How are victims' families supposed to feel when this killer is trying to get out of jail on a legal technicality?" he said. "The grief of the parents and siblings of the two victims will last our entire lives."
Whalen submitted the appeal on May 14, almost two months after Fischer's initial sentencing on March 23 in Charles Mix County. That is because an appeal cannot be filed until after the final judgement of conviction, and the judgement was amended twice since the sentencing.
After a final judgement is issued, an attorney has 30 days to file an appeal. The second amendment of the conviction was concluded on April 23, less than three weeks before the appeal was filed.
It is unknown when the South Dakota Supreme Court will make a ruling on the appeal.

None of it works.
So, everyone knows that most diet foods are crap. That is, your slightly plump secretary (or, you, the slightly plump middle aged secretary) eats lean cuisines every day for lunch, puts Splenda in her coffee and only drinks skim milk and diet coke. Plus she eats snacks that look like this:
Or you, the slightly porky weight lifter who loves him some whey protein shakes and also tries to eat healthy by making sure that he's low carbing by drinking only artificially sweetened foods, and he's taking fiber supplements: Both of you guys are in for a world of hurt.
First, duh, they replace fat with sugar. Making the alleged diet food to be a glycemic bomb.
Now we also know that artificial sweeteners will make you fat by jacking up your insulin levels worse than if you had just had a spoonful of sugar.
Splenda and its friends are everywhere! At this point, it seems that every artificial sweetener is worse than sugar. Why? Because they're all something stupid like 100 times sweeter than sugar in the first place. Tricks your liver every time.
First, you put it in your coffee, obviously.
Chik-Fil-A puts it in their delightful diet lemonade. Almost every diet soda uses it.
Then you start looking at the health supplements.
That fiber stuff you mix with water? Is it really sweet? Yeah, that's fructose. While you're allegedly sucking fat out of your gut, your body's busy putting it back in there.
Let's not get started on how many diet desserts are made of the stuff.
And then there's the protein powders and bars: sorry. Them too. In fact some of the sweeter protein bars brag about their sugar alcohols.
Those diet pills? Yup.
Read the labels, people. Sweetness is not your friend.

Media Frenzy
I think that I'm going down the road of 'Media Mogul' at the moment. At one stage it was just me and my website. Now it's my website, my MySpace and my Youtube. You'll find links to each on the right.
I've been using my phone to blog via email to this site. Now I'm using it to make little movies to post on Youtube. It's the best phone ever. Anyway, enjoy the little flick below and look out for more soon.

Writing, Blogging, Spelling and Punctuation
Posted on September 12, 2011
Whether you write or blog for a living, spelling and punctuation could be defining factors in your success.
You might be a writer that blogs or a blogger that writes for a living, but both of these scenarios require spectacular spelling and perfect punctuation skills.
Why is it so important to perfectly portend and punctuate your penned opinions? As a writer, everything you author reveals your skill to people. Include run-on sentences, leave out a period, write "there" when you should have used "their," and your skills come into question.
Not only that, but it looks sloppy and implies that you don't care about the quality of your writing.
In the writing arena, if you want to make top dollar for your skills, you must show you have top-notch writing skills worth paying the big bucks for.
Showcase Your Skills
A blog is one of the best venues to showcase your skills and advertise your expertise. What some writers don't realize is that their blog is a showcase of their skills. Potential clients visit the blogs of writers applying for work to check out the:
- Quality of the writer's skill.
- Topics on which the writer blogs.
- Tone and voice of the writer — e.g., Is the writer upbeat or contentious? Does the writer provoke controversy or deep thinking?
- Overall aesthetics of the blog — I believe this is more of a subconscious act — again, speaks to the perception of quality.
- Page rank and other SEO factors.
Writing Strategies
Some strategies I use to promote my blog and writing skills include leaving comments on other blogs, interacting on social websites and creating quality posts for my blog.
I try to comment on other's blogs as often as possible for a variety of reasons:
- Over time, visits and comments help their page ranking – and they almost always (if not always) reciprocate.
- Allows backlinking to my own blog — if it's a popular blog, then my blog benefits from it.
- It makes me visible to many who may not know me — they check out (and sometimes subscribe to) my blog, because they see my comment on someone else's blog.
Interacting on social websites provides me many advantages and benefits:
- Promotes my work and brings in new subscribers to my blog.
- I've gained new clients due to interacting on these sites.
- Enables me to develop relationships with others in the same profession (networking) – I support other writers and they support me.
- I've developed many, what I believe will be, life-long friendships.
Creating quality posts meets a variety of needs:
- Presents content worth reading and revisiting.
- Showcases my talent – hopefully in a good light!
- Allows me to practice my writing skills.
- Creates a broader portfolio of work.
- I get to write on what I want to write on.
In doing the above, some strategies necessary to promote your writing and ensure your writing skills are always viewed favorably are:
- Write clear, crisp, concise content (3C's).
- Pay attention to punctuation and spelling, even when leaving a comment on someone else's blog.
- Write complete sentences.
- Pay attention to the use of homonyms — words that sound the same, but have different meanings — e.g., their, there, they're and bald, bawled and balled.

Architects specify wood for many reasons, including cost, ease and efficiency of construction, design versatility, and sustainability—as well as its beauty and the innate appeal of nature and natural materials. Innovative new technologies and building systems are also leading to the increased use of wood as a structural material, not only in houses, schools, and other traditional applications, but in larger, taller, and more visionary wood buildings.
Even as the use of wood is expanding, one significant characteristic of wood buildings is often underestimated: their durability. Misperceptions still exist that buildings made of materials such as concrete or steel last longer than buildings made of wood. This connection between materials and building will be discussed in this course.

Research involving samples of participants responding to samples of stimuli is ubiquitous throughout psychology and neuroscience. This dissertation is concerned with the optimal design of such experiments, and more generally with experiments that involve multiple random factors (i.e., factors whose observed levels are a random, exchangeable sample of all possible levels of theoretical interest) beyond the conventional random participant factor. I first consider experiments with two crossed random factors--participants and stimuli--and a single fixed Condition factor with two levels. I describe procedures for statistical power analysis in such experiments and demonstrate how these procedures can be used to answer difficult questions of optimal design in the presence of stimulus sampling. Next I discuss the implications of these power analysis results for how direct replications ought to be conducted for studies that involve stimulus sampling. Finally I discuss power analysis for general ANOVA designs that can consist of any number of fixed or random factors, each with any number of levels, and with any valid pattern of nesting or crossing of the factors. I present a web application I have developed (PANGEA: Power ANalysis for GEneral Anova designs), discuss the statistical theory underlying the application, and illustrate how it can be used to answer questions of optimal design in a very general experimental setting.

I've been celebrating today with my housemates. It's been cold but bright since last night when we caught the carol service in the square (and were addressed by the archbishop himself). Then Em and I watched A Muppets Christmas Carol, which was the best way to kickstart the Christmas spirit!
The house was already decorated when I came back on Tuesday evening, we went out and collected wood and plantage another day but Middle B put all the decor up. Fairly lights and everything:
This morning we all had a fry up for breakfast and opened our presents. Em went off to her mum and dad's and the rest of us did some prep for dinner and then went to the pub for a couple of drinks before we came back and lounged about before dinner. The lads had cured their own bacon and I'm told it came out splendidly.
We got dinner in the oven about 5ish and sat down to eat at 7pm. We started with broccoli and stilton soup and bread all homemade by Mr. Middle B. (Yes, that is prosecco out of bone china teacups, because why not?!)
Then we girls had butternut squash and mushroom wellington while the lads had steak, and we all had roast potatoes, carrots, parsnips, yorkshire puddings and stuffing.
After dinner we all watched The Kings Speech and then had coffee and some mince pies. All in all a really lovely day.

Oh dear! Our first night with a duvet is not going well. E has already woke twice and I'm wondering if maybe she's too hot. I've dressed her how I would normally (long sleeve vest and a sleepsuit) but normally she'd be in a 2.5 tog grobag and her duvet is 4 tog. What are your toddlers wearing to bed if they have a duvet? Thanks x
27/02/2014 at 03:40
27/02/2014 at 05:27
wARs...O is still wearing the same long sleeve vest/pj combo he did with sleeping bags, to no I'll effect. Does she feel hot?
27/02/2014 at 08:17
Thanks both! She felt hot when I picked her up but she does tend to run warm. We're putting her in a toddler bed at the weekend so I thought I'd try her with a duvet to get her used to it (she fell asleep on my lap watching in the night garden so I couldn't have got her in her grobag without waking her so took it as a sign to give it a go!) she's got some pj's so I might try her with those tonight - I know if my feet are hot I can't sleep so maybe having her feet uncovered might do the trick!
Can I ask another question please? What do you do about nap time? Do you take any layers off at all or use something different? I used to have a 1 tog for day time naps so unsure what to do with a duvet! x
27/02/2014 at 08:22
Nap time she has her duvet and whatever shes wearing but no jumper/cardi
27/02/2014 at 08:26
O just has same for naps, and whatever he is wearing...if he's a bit warm I'll take his trousers off
27/02/2014 at 09:23
J wears PJ's, and a vest (a "proper" vest, not a poppered one), or his onesies (character type onesies, not babygrow type ones).
He has a very thick duvet (not sure of tog), and he just uncovers himself if he gets warm, and covers himself up if he gets cold.
Nap times, he just wears whatever he is wearing.
27/02/2014 at 13:26
Molly has gone on PJ strike at the moment and insists on sleepy naked she is very hot naturally though and just like her Dad and Lauren, who both wear the minimum to bed!
01/03/2014 at 23:16
My little boy wears a proper vest and pyjamas to bed and has a 4 tog duvet on for bed. He doesn't nap through the day at all and if he does fall asleep in the car, he sleeps in whatever he is wearing

I'll paint you a picture with words,
"I miss her."
We still talk like everyday
But we don't talk in the same way that we used to
I'll move on and forget you
We could never see eye to eye
But either way.
I like her 'cause she's smart, headstrong and independent,
She puts me in my place, but I don't know where I stand,
And if only I could find the words, or muster up the nerve to tell her
I'll never forget her
And she'll always have a part of me.
Don't let me go down this road again
We both know where this ends
In a storm of feeling, I'm so unappealing
I can't play these games
I was falling for a girl who would ask me to come over
Just for a day, when her parents were away,
Now all I can do is lay in my room,
Fall asleep, dream of you,
Then wake up and do nothing about it
She hates it when I shout these words,
But I'll still sing for you.
Neck deep - A part of me

Scuba Diving Blue Holes In The Bahamas on Scuba Dive Vacations
Blue Holes and scuba diving.
The Bahamas has the greatest number of Blue Holes than any other area. Scuba diving is the only way to view these great ancient underwater caverns.
Diving into blue holes has also been known as a dangerous extreme sport.
Scuba diving vacations or holidays to the Bahamas do not come cheap, but nothing can compare to the awesome and deadly underwater world within.
The Bahamas boast the deepest Blue Hole in the world. Deans' Blue Hole is estimated to be approximately 203 meters deep with a cavernous 100 meter wide chamber at the base.
Scuba diving the Blue Holes is no easy task. An average of 20 scuba divers each year have lost their lives in their quest to view these wonders of the world.
What is a Blue Hole ?
What is a Blue Hole ? A Blue Hole is an underwater cave or a sinkhole, and are typically found in low lying areas across the globe.
The top of the sinkhole can be distinguished by the deep blue color of the ocean at the sinkholes entrance, compared to the lighter colour of the surrounding ocean. Blue Holes are shaped similar to some vase designs, where the opening is small compared to the base.
The cavern at the base can be as wide as 100 meters whereas the opening may be less than 20 meters wide. There are usually hundreds of meters of tunnels and smaller caverns eroded by time turning off of the main cavern.
Blue Holes were created during the last ice age when the sea level was much lower than today. The limestone rock was worn away by the elements creating deep caverns.
As the ice age began to recede and the oceans rose, the caverns began to fill with salt water.The combination of salt water and fresh water created Halocline. Halocline is the chemical reaction between fresh and salt water which is extremely corrosive to rock formations.
This chemical reaction allowed many lengthy tunnels to be created at varying depths of the Blue Hole. This is where scuba divers have discovered various prehistoric artifacts, and skeletal remains.
The lower part of the Blue Holes are oxygen free. This means that there is no life down there and that anything that lived thousands of years ago would have their bones and shells perfectly preserved.
Venturing inside a Blue Hole is not for the faint hearted. There are many dangers which can befall even an experienced cave diver.
Prior to a dive, all equipment is checked, then checked, then checked once more. Even their back up plans have back up plans. Scuba divers may carry a knife with them at times during their descent, Blue Hole scuba divers usually carry about four types of knives. Each one has a specific use.
Cave divers use a guide rope whenever they descend. This is for them to be able to hopefully find their way back to the top of the sinkhole. One danger is that disturbed silt on the sea bed can cause dense clouds for several hours.
Even the guide ropes can become tangled in a cave divers equipment and cause problems.
The collective silt of thousands of years can create a thick and dense cloud in the usually clear waters in the Blue Hole. This hazard can restrict visibility to nil.
Once visibility is nil, then even finding the guide rope is very difficult. This is where some Blue Hole divers on vacations have lost their lives. Their oxygen runs out before they can make it back to the surface.
The crumbling rock formations can give way at any moment. Many underwater rockfalls occur blocking tunnels, creating dense clouds of silt, and making holes smaller for divers to get through.
Stalagmites and stalagtites as well as other sharp rock formations can easily tear through air hoses or skin. The water temperature even at depths of 130 feet is quite warm.
All cave diving professionals carry an extra oxygen tank or have them at hand in case of emergencies.
Many prehistoric skeletons have been discovered across the globe in Blue Holes. Scuba diving is also a sport for the archaeologist in all of us.
Huge turtle shells and skeletons of extinct species of crocodile have been found on the bottom of sink holes. Bird bones have also been discovered over 120 feet below the sea level.
There are many previously undiscovered species being brought to life thanks to the adventures of scuba divers and their hazardous hobbies.
Make scuba diving holidays and vacations in the Bahamas on the list of things to do this year, it will be unforgettable.

City property management
"City property management" is sometimes used as part of a management company's name when the company wants to be associated with a particular urban location. Companies that use this term in their names are found in all types of property and real estate niches including residential and commercial units, HOA and community association services, real estate sales and acquisitions, asset management and more.
Property management companies, regardless of location, generally offer a broad range of services and options to their clients. Indeed, from full service or partial service management to consulting and retainer services, property managers are a valuable asset to countless real estate investors across the nation. For example, full service management involves overseeing the responsibilities of a rental property including everything from collecting rent and dealing with tenants to setting budgets, planning capital improvements and coordinating maintenance contracts.
Regardless of their niche or specialty, these management companies are easily accessible and more affordable to the average investor than one might think. Often times, the benefits of having a professional property manager or management company far outweigh the associated costs.

Bitcoin CRACKDOWN: South Korean crypto boss says shutting down bitcoin is a BAD idea
BITCOIN and other cryptocurrencies are facing a crackdown in South Korea but one crypto boss has said regulators must not do a blanket ban on the digital currencies.
South Korea is home to one of the largest bitcoin exchanges, being the third biggest market in the world for bitcoin trading.
Demand and prices have reached a huge premium of 40 percent in South Korea. But Government officials have been signalling plans to crack down on the crypto trading.
CIO of one of South Korea's largest cryptocurrency funds #HASHED has warned that a straight ban on all cryptocurrencies is a bad idea.
Crypto boss Hwisang Kim told CNBC: "Banning cryptocurrencies is not a good idea. So I hope current Government could understand what each production is and how important it is."
Bitcoin: Cryptocurrency boss said regulators must not ban bitcoin
Banning cryptocurrencies is not a good idea
Bitcoin price raised as high of $20,000 in December but it took a plunge following an announcements by regulators across the world to crack down on the crypto world.
South Korea has suggested taxing bitcoin profits and curbing anonymous transactions in an effort to tackle underage children and potential criminals from using the digital currency.
South Korea's huge bitcoin premiums currently offers global traders with the opportunity to take advantage of the price difference between the two markets.
Bitcoin trader Clayton Aitchison said: "In comparison to the USA, sometimes cryptocurrency was at a 40 percent premium here."
"You bought cryptocurrency in the USA and transferred it to Korea and when you did that you made 40 percent on your money."
But Mr Aitchison said the new plans for a clampdown on cryptocurrency investing is now making trading more difficult.
Mr Aitchison said his account has at point been frozen amid a crackdown on South Korea's cryptocurrencies. He said: "Some of our money was being held in a bank because they wanted to make sure, when those regulations came down, some of the money actually got frozen and the reason they did that was to ensure that companies weren't doing illegal things and using Korea as a mechanism to do that."
Bitcoin had a value of just $954 in January last year but saw its price soar more than 1,500 per cent throughout 2017.
Since the start of 2018 Bitcoin has seen its value plunge and is currently worth just $8,496.88.

This trend doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon either. Japan's Yen is valued at an all-time high, which means that importing cars from Japan is more expensive than ever. Thus, the Japanese automakers are slowly moving their assembly plants to the markets where the vehicles are sold. Currently Honda has a plant in Alabama while Nissan has set-up shop in Tennessee. Toyota pieces its popular full-size Tundra together in San Antonio, Texas. Toyota has also announced it will be exporting several of its product lines, including the Sienna minivan, to Korea.
It's been nearly 30 years since the first Japanese auto maker broke ground on a facility on U.S. soil. The first was a Honda factory in Marysville, Ohio, and since then Japanese "transplants," as they're called, are responsible for creating more than 400,000 jobs. A report obtained for the Japanese Automobile Manufacturers Association reveals that Japanese exports from U.S. facilities have been rising at a torrid pace. In 2010 alone, 145,000 vehicles exported as opposed to 95,000 the year prior but many expect that number to be lower after the natural disaster that plagued Japan and surrounding areas. North America is still sitting pretty however as smaller cars like the Honda Fit have become more favorable here as fuel prices continue to fluxuate.
A few factors play a major role in the shift of Japanese auto makers making the switch to come stateside. The obvious one is the strength the Yen continues to gain as the economy looks to stabilize. Another factor is that Japanese auto makers have become more aware of the political concerns swirling around the American trade deficit. Japanese auto makers wish to side-step the "voluntary" quotas that crippled sales in the U.S. a couple of decades ago. The third major factor playing a role in all of this is that American manufacturers have by and large closed the quality gap between themselves and the Japanese. Consumer are less wary of where their vehicle is assembled because build quality has become equalized all across the board.
It became the norm that the U.S. would house where Japanese auto maker would assemble lower-end vehicles but that is no longer the case. High-end vehicles like Infiniti's new crossover, the JX, will be assembled stateside, along with the previously made-in-Japan Toyota Prius. Nissan will also be opening its Smyrna, Tennessee facility doors to produce several thousand Leaf electric hatchback vehicles. According to the report by the JAMA there were 29 facilities that assembled Japanese vehicles in the U.S. in 2010. All of which commanded a combined investment of $34 billion and employ around 50,000 people. Don't expect it to stop there either. Toyota is already bringing over a new line to be assembled in Tupelo, Mississippi. As a whole Japanese auto makers provide around 407,000 jobs for Americans but it should also be noted that a majority of those are at dealerships across the country.
Do you think having Japanese auto maker's move more of their operations to the U.S. is a good idea? Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

This implies that the hottest precincts of hell are reserved for rulers who misuse power. Note that Thomas understood this long prior to the appearance of 20th century monsters such as Stalin, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot, et al.
Now, this is weird, but extremely telling. I just did a quick search of the most evil rulers in history, and this was the first that popped up: on it, George Bush is #2, Ariel Sharon #4. It proves Dennis Prager's adage that "Those who don't fight the greatest evils will fight lesser evils or make-believe evils."
For example, this is why leftists get far more worked up over innocuous statues than genuine evils such as inner city black-on-black violence; or the make-believe science of AGW than third world poverty that can't be overcome without a larger carbon footprint.
The purpose of the intellect is to know truth. Obviously. But "the purpose of ideology," writes Legutko, "is not to disclose intricacies and ambiguities but to make a clear statement." The MSM Narrative (which is again Ideology for Dummies) is rarely in accord with reality, but always loud and clear.
This reminds me of the distinction between, say, the metaphysics of Thomas and Bible stories -- but with a big difference. Few people have the time or aptitude to study metaphysics. Which is one of the principle reasons for revelation, in that it provides a way to implicitly understand the same truths, only available to one and all. You might say that it is a way to make the average person wise.
For example, as we've said before, even the person with a literal understanding of Genesis has superior wisdom to the credentialed atheist who imagines the world came about by accident. The latter is "learned stupidity," while the former is more akin to "naive wisdom."
It is the other way around with ideology, which has two functions: on the one hand, it makes the idiot feel superior to the wise, while turning the most intelligent man into an idiot. Regarding the former, even the dimmest college student can assimilate enough cliches and insults to render him a Democrat for life. It is the whole basis for the appeal of Bernie Sanders, and of the leftward lurch of Democrats more generally:
The race to be the Democratic nominee for president in 2020 will be a race to the left. The Bernie Sanders agenda has taken root. By the time the Democrats' nominating process was complete in 2016, Hillary Clinton had become Bernie Sanders-lite... the next Democratic nominee as likely to be Sanders on steroids.
Economic polices will consist of government giveaways and anti-business crusades. Social causes will give no quarter to moderate positions, and LGBT special interests, labor unions, global warming fanatics and factions such as Black Lives Matter, along with other grievance industry groups, will face no moderating counterforce.
In other words, thanks to college, people are increasingly dis-oriented: the stupid ones imagine they are superior, while the intelligent ones are the most readily indoctrinated into the stupidity. Similar to how all you need is a little menstrual blood and a lot of bitterness in order to call yourself an "artist."
Of course, if you criticize college they will call you "anti-intellectual," which is itself part of the indoctrination. In short, they will call you a name. The left never argues. It accuses.
But the purpose of philosophy is not to accuse. Rather, it is to lead persons to the Light, one assoul at a time. It is to help him exit the cave of contingency (and of historicism) and into the wide open space of truth, AKA O. If you don't know that O is far vaster than your puny ideology, then you don't even know nothing, because what you think you know is all wrong.
"No wonder that those contaminated by ideology" have such "a deep suspicion toward ideas" (Legutko). The irony is that there is no one as anti-intellectual as the leftist who fancies himself an intellectual. Let's take the example of Bill Maher. Everything about him cries out that he wants you to know that he's a Smart Guy.
If that is the case, why does he only pick on such easy targets? I'd like to see him go toe to toe with a Thomas Aquinas or Frithjof Schuon. But an insult is not an argument, and smugness is not actual superiority.
Speaking of which, "In a certain sense humility is man's readiness to approach spiritual and divine things." Indeed,"Humility prepares the way for wisdom" and "makes a man capable of knowing God" (Thomas).
Those qualify as the most important things one can know, being that they are a prerequisite for knowing the most important things. But how many people learn this at a liberal university? Any? If so, it is only in reaction to the pestilent nonsense that pervades the atmosphere. Experiencing a place that has been sanitized of God can be a very effective source of conversion. When the cave fills with toxic gas, get out!
Jesus counsels us to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves, a combination of discernment and humility. The left has a twisted version of this -- something like "cynical as a psychopath but credulous as a child."
