Why Replace Your Interior Lights With LEDs?
There are three great reasons to replace the interior light bulbs in your 2011-Present Jeep Grand Cherokee :
- Your eyes will thank you. All our LED interior lighting kits provide for a better lighting experience inside your car. LED lighting is typically brighter than original interior lighting, making it easier for your eyes to pick out details inside your car.
- You'll save energy. LED bulbs use as little as 1/15th as much power as a standard interior light bulb. This saved energy reduces the load on your vehicle's electrical system, and technically even saves gas (however, probably not enough for you to notice at the gas pump).
- You'll love your car's customized feel. The difference between LED interior lights and standard automotive lighting is significant. Your passengers will immediately notice your car's custom lighting, and our customers really enjoy it.

Our prime clientele are elite high net-worth individuals with a decerning attention to detail. We are looking for a Logo that we can create our brand around and also include on product packaging.
The Ivy League
We make luxury high-end socks, What I want is a logo which is the text "The Ivy League".
Preferably on a black background with white text but I am open to suggestions. The logo should incorporate an Ivy Leaf somewhere.
I liked what was done in this contest by the winner
I would also like some sort of Ivy Leaf insignia that we will be using as a logo, and will potentially be woven into the sock
eg: Ralph Lauren Polo Horse or the Lacoste Crocodile.
The Logo will be put on the Sock packaging so it should be clear and most importantly make people want to buy the item!
Any other sort of design/layout schemes for the e-commerce retail website would be much appreciated also!
- Logo must be professional and ooze luxury, should evoke old world ivy league imagery

- Simple Color Scheme, Using a combination of two colors (eg Black Background/White Text, White Background/Black Text)

What kind of dog is this, anyway?
Has anybody out there wondered about what breeds make up their mixed-breed dog? Andrea Labak has.
Labak, an editorial assistant at the Denver Post, recently sent away for a DNA test kit to determine the breeds mixed in her dog, Sesame.
She will write about the results in a future Fetch blog.
This is her story:
On Oct. 23, 2011, we welcomed Cookie, a 55-pound, 13-month-old, female mixed breed dog into our household.
We adopted Cookie from Maxfund, where she was labeled as a "German Shepherd mix breed".
The paperwork that came with her showed that she was originally adopted at 3-4 months of age from the Denver Municipal Animal Shelter where she was labeled a "Lab mix breed."
Her first adoptive family could not afford the costs of food and veterinary care for her and were also unprepared for the size she grew to be, so she was relinquished to Maxfund.
My husband and I take Sesame to dog parks often and compare her to the other dogs, trying to see what similarities she shares with them and asking other owners what breeds these dogs are.
We've been all over Google typing in German Shepherd/"fill-in-the blank" mix and poring over the pictures to see if any of them look like Sesame. So far, the closest we could get to a match for her was the search for "German Shepherd/Beagle mix."
We were making ourselves crazy trying to figure out what kind of dog we had adopted! We decided to splurge on a Christmas gift for ourselves and purchased a $50 dog DNA test from the Internet.
After researching we found several companies selling dog DNA tests. The two that kept popping up most often were The Canine Heritage Breed Test (http://www.canineheritage.com/) and the Wisdom Panel DNA Test (http://www.wisdompanel.com/).
Next, we set out researching both websites and looking on Google for feedback from people who had used both products.
We decided to go with the Wisdom Panel DNA test. The main reason was that Wisdom Panel had more breeds in its DNA database.
According to its website, Canine Heritage Breed Test "has the capability to genetically identify over 120 potential breeds." Wisdom Panel's website said its test "can identify over 185 potential breeds, including 159 of the 161 American Kennel Club (AKC) registered dogs plus 11 additional breeds…"
We received our DNA test in the mail on Dec. 17 and will be "swabbing" soon. Stay tuned for the results, which should arrive within 3 weeks of us sending the swab back to Wisdom Panel.
Animal tracks – Camp Bow Wow, a Boulder-based pet services company, in conjunction with its non-profit organization,
the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation, has launched "Operation Freedom Tail."
The initiative is aimed at raising funds for Freedom Service Dogs in Englewood. Through the efforts of Camp Bow Wow's Colorado franchises, the company hopes to raise enough funds to pay for the training of a service dog that will be paired with a Colorado-based disabled veteran.
Dan, a Vietnam combat veteran diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) will be matched with a service dog being trained with the funds raised by the project. Camp Bow Wow is accepting cash donations to Operation Freedom Tail until April 15, 2012 via the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation website, www.bowwowbuddies.com, or at any of the Colorado Camp Bow Wow locations.
The foundation will also be matching funds dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 of the total funds raised. For more information about Freedom Service Dogs and its disabled Veteran program, visit:

Sadler is a trainer specializing in behavioral problems. Her techniques have been derived from 20 years of animal work with exotics, marine mammals, dogs and cats.
Throughout Aimee's private dog training career she maintained strong affiliations with rescue organizations and since 1998 has been focused on shelter dogs. Her goal is to create and implement a training and behavior modification program that will prove invaluable to the well
being of the animals in shelters around the country . . .

In his sermon on November 15 Phil Mitchell, our Minister of Christian Worship, said: "We have added the response, 'Thanks be to God' after Scripture readings [at First Baptist Church]. Why, Baptists don't do that, do they? Some do, and for goodness sake why not? What if as we say, 'Thanks be to God,' we remind ourselves that this really is the Word of God for the people of God. Thanks be to God for that!"
Since then I've heard a little grumbling.
Yes, we thank God for giving us his Word. We're grateful that we can read it in public worship and private devotions. But when we say it like that—"The Word of God for the people of God, thanks be to God"—it sounds awfully…Episcopalian.
We're Baptists, not Episcopalians, but when it comes to worship we might want to ask what that really means (and what it doesn't mean):
- It doesn't mean that we aren't liturgical. Every Baptist church, even the most informal ones, follow some kind of liturgy (by which I mean the order of worship). The invitation, for example, goes after the sermon and before the closing hymn. Everybody knows that!
- It doesn't mean that we can't sing hymns. One of my seminary professors used to say, "Some theology has to be sung." Many of the great, old hymns of the faith strive to do that—express good theology through beautiful music—so that you leave church humming something like, "God in three persons, blessed Trinity," or "Joy to the world, the Lord is come."
- It doesn't mean that we can't use written prayers. Baptists don't want to read their prayers out of a book; they want them to come from the heart. But the best prayers often come from the heart when we are alone with God. A prayer written down in such moments and shared in public worship can be deeply meaningful, and may be preferable to all those "ums" and "ahs" that often plague extemporaneous prayer.
- It doesn't mean that we can't read Scripture in worship. Episcopalians and a number of other churches read a good bit of Scripture in worship. They follow the lectionary, a plan for reading through most of the Bible in public worship over a three year period. It seems like a good way to get Scripture into the lives of people who may not take the time to read it on their own and as "people of the Book" we Baptists should welcome any plan that does that.
- It doesn't mean that we can't celebrate the high, holy days. Christmas is one of them. Easter is another. We've been celebrating those for years because they were important events in the life of Jesus: his birth and his resurrection. Adding to our calendar other significant events in the life of Christ like Good Friday, Palm Sunday, and maybe even the Baptism of Jesus can make worship more meaningful, not less.
But here's what it does mean to be Baptist and to have a Baptist way of worship, at least in my experience:
- It means that we celebrate spontaneity. We like to believe that the Spirit can move us to do and say things that aren't printed in the order of worship, and it is part of our cherished Baptist freedom to seize such moments.
- It means that we take preaching seriously. The sermon is typically the highlight of the service, and the other elements of worship—hymns, prayers, and offerings—build toward a time of reverent listening for the Word of God.
- It means that we enjoy spirited singing. We love those hymns and Gospel songs that are familiar and singable, the ones that really let us sing with all our heart. We don't much care for the slow, plodding ones.
- It means that we value "warmth." We like to be in a place where people call each other by name, where there's a lot of hugging and handshaking, and where both laughter and tears are accepted.
- It means that our worship is heartfelt. We don't put a lot of stock in ritual or performance. If you're going to say something we want it to come from your heart. If you're going to do something we want you to do it for the Lord.
I'm sure that others could add to this list and I hope they will (it would be interesting to compile readers' comments on Baptist worship). But what I'm curious about is the combination of this list and the one above. Is there a way to have both warmth and dignity, to draw from the best and most meaningful practices of the last two thousand years and still mix up a uniquely Baptist blend of warmhearted worship? I don't want us to become Episcopalian (no offense to my Episcopal friends); I want us to be Baptist. But I'd like to think we could be Baptists whose worship is as rich, and deep, and meaningful as possible. I'd like us to remember that even more important than the way we worship is the One we worship.
And he deserves our very best.

From Booklist:
"Following Houdini on the morning of his leap (while handcuffed) into the frigid Boston River, readers gain a remarkably complete picture of his world. They will meet his wife, Bess; his strong-arm man, Beatty; reporters desperate to get a quote; and crowds hungry for a glimpse of him. Most of all, they get to know Houdini himself, who, as an extensive introduction notes, was probably the most famous man in the world at the time. Proud and obsessed--with his skill, his fame, and his wife--Houdini was a showman of the highest order who knew he represented hope to his adoring American public. He also knew that he had an unprecedented talent for self-hype. Avoiding overt, showy tricks themselves, Lutes and Bertozzi use clean, simple storytelling and crisp, clear black-and-white art to create not only a portrait of the man but also that sense of suspense and anticipation Houdini generated in his performances. Endnotes linked to specific pictures offer background on everything from anti-Semitism (Houdini was Jewish) to handcuffs. A bibliography of mostly older adult titles is appended."
Hardbound with dust jacket, 96 pages.
About the Author and Illustrator:
Jason Lutes is a cartoonist living in Seattle. He has been an admirer of Houdini for most of his adult life, and his celebrated graphic novel for adults, Jar of Fools, also pays homage to the Handcuff King. Nick Bertozzi is an award-winning cartoonist based in New York.

Lost Leads
All season long, the Phillies bullpen had three blown saves. In dropping two of three in DC this weekend, the pen added three more blown saves. The series loss on the road was the first for the Phillies since June 17-19 in Seattle.
Thanks to Phillies fans, Nationals Park was transformed into Citizens Bank Park south this weekend but the Nationals won two games in walk-off fashion giving them 19 for the season.
Phillies lone win was an impressive outing by Roy-O on Saturday, the team's ninth shutout on the road.
For the last six games, the Phillies went 3-3. In all three losses, they had the lead in the ninth inning. Guess that's baseball.
During the last week, the Phillies also had three rain delays, a total of 5 hours and 50 minutes of sitting around. That messed up the pitching staff. Again, that's baseball.
Following Sunday's loss, an Amtrak charter train brought the Phillies back home. Six games this week, three each with the Mets and Marlins, start on Monday night. Phillies are 31-19 against the NL East.
Mixed Review
RH reliever Michael Schwimer, a native of Alexandria, VA, made his debut in front of family and friends (65 tickets) and came away with mixed reviews. The second pitch he threw was a home run which tied the game. Then, he was one pitch away from his first win but Bastardo gave up a game-tying solo homer in the last of the ninth, the first blown save for the lefty.
Schwimer worked 3 innings, allowed that one run, while striking out four. His longest outing at Lehigh Valley was 3.1 innings at Scranton back on May 17.
Schwimer is the third player selected by the Phillies in the 2008 draft on the staff. He was a 14th round selection; Vance Worley, third round and Michael Stutes, 11th round. Good scouting.
Eye in the Sky
The broadcast booths at Nationals Park are located at the top of the stadium behind home plate. Scott Franzke and Larry Andersen often comment about the difficulty in broadcasting from such a high perch. They also had a couple of good lines this weekend:
**On Saturday, a helicopter was approaching Nationals Park and Scott reported, "we're having a fly under."
**During Sunday's thunderstorms, LA reported, "the lightning is below us."
Down On The Farm
Lehigh Valley lost two of three this weekend but remained in a tie for first; no decision on Sunday for RHS David Bush, 2 runs, 5 innings; LF Domonic Brown is in a 5-41 spin . . . Reading is in 2nd place, 4 games behind following a 3-game sweep of Altoona; 3B Carlos Rivero had a 17-game hitting streak end on Saturday and hit his third homer of the week on Sunday (15 for season) . . . Clearwater won two of three in Lakeland; Threshers are in third place, 3.5 games out of first . . . Lakewood was 1-1 plus a Sunday postponement against Greensboro; BlueClaws are in 4th, four out . . . Williamsport's four-game winning streak ended Sunday; Crosscutters are in second place, 1.5 games out . . . Two more weeks of the regular season remain for these 5 clubs . . . Gulf Coast League Phillies' season ends on Saturday; they are in 5th place, 11 out.
1 Comment

Hot new look alert: enter, the floral helmet
Lady Gaga watches on at Phillip Treacy's London Fashion Week show. Her floral number had some tough competition on the runway – here, a walking light fitting.London Fashion Week has always been known for its irreverent take on fashion, blurring the lines between intimidating edginess and borderline-daft insouciance.
Given all that, we're still not sure that Lady Gaga gets away with this look: enter, the floral helmet.
The pop star looked remarkably relaxed wearing something that defies technical terms – its closest relation is perhaps a bonnet – to the Phillip Treacy show in London on Sunday.
Did poor Gaga get her head stuck in a floral wreath – a victim of the little-known dangers of smelling the roses?
Or perhaps it is an elephantine floral bath cap – a new soap-sud driven trend that those sitting behind the front-row maven may have pondered as the spring-summer collections on the catwalk were utterly obscured from view.
While the bouquet-crossed-with-a-human-cannonball look may be great for promoting cross-pollination, we see little real practicality here, wardrobe wise. And the same goes for a full-length twinkling number that was reminsicent of a walking light fitting. We sense, however, that that is not the point.
Whatever it is – and milliner-to-the-stars Treacy is responsible – it puts Carmen Miranda's fruit basket headdresses to shame. The entire show was a visual delight, heavy on spectacle and light on functionality. This, we must remember, comes from the man who created Princess Beatrice's infamous and globally-panned pretzel hat.
Brilliantly mad, other-worldly and in every sense escapist, the spring/summer 2013 collection has been met with rave reviews after a 13-year fashion week hiatus for the London-based label.
Not content to simply steal the limelight with her hat, Gaga also acted as a master of ceremonies at the show, wearing a neon pink veil and towering Alexander McQueen Armadillo shoes – not that her turn on on the runway prompted much exclamation given the scale of the visual feast.
There is one thing we can hand to the newly shaved-headed songstress: the bloom-laden diving bell is the perfect look for camouflaging a bad hair day.
Oh, and for attracting attention, of course.
And, as much as we can imagine the collective eyeball-rolling prompted by her latest artistic guise, its silliness beats a hat made of raw meat, any day.

John 1 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The Deity of Jesus Christ
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 [a]He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not [b]comprehend it.
The Witness John
6 There [c]came a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 [d]He came [e]as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. 8 [f]He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
9 There was the true Light [g]which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His [h]own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13 who were [i]born, not of [j]blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
The Word Made Flesh
14 And the Word became flesh, and [k]dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of [l]the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me [m]has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'" 16 For of His fullness [n]we have all received, and [o]grace upon grace. 17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth [p]were realized through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.
The Testimony of John
19 This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" 20 And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not [q]the Christ." 21 They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he *said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No." 22 Then they said to him, "Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?" 23 He said, "I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
24 Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 They asked him, and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the [r]Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?" 26 John answered them saying, "I baptize [s]in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know. 27 It is He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie." 28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is He on behalf of whom I said, 'After me comes a Man who [t]has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.' 31 I did not recognize [u]Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing [v]in water." 32 John testified saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. 33 I did not recognize [w]Him, but He who sent me to baptize [x]in water said to me, 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes [y]in the Holy Spirit.' 34 I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God."
Jesus' Public Ministry, First Converts
35 Again the next day John was standing [z]with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and *said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!" 37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 And Jesus turned and saw them following, and *said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to Him, "Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?" 39 He *said to them, "Come, and you will see." So they came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day, for it was about the [aa]tenth hour. 40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He *found first his own brother Simon and *said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which translated means [ab]Christ). 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of [ac]John; you shall be called Cephas" (which is translated [ad]Peter).
43 The next day He purposed to go into Galilee, and He *found Philip. And Jesus *said to him, "Follow Me." 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip *found Nathanael and *said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." 46 Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip *said to him, "Come and see." 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and *said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!" 48 Nathanael *said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." 49 Nathanael answered Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel." 50 Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these." 51 And He *said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

Types of Bone Grafting
Bone grafting allows dentists to rebuild or strengthen the upper and lower jaws. A graft can address isolated bone loss or more widespread degeneration. There are several different types of bone grafting materials, including natural and synthetic options. Although grafting can be performed to correct the effects of injuries or congenital defects, the procedure is most often recommended for dental implant patients. The prerequisite procedure can increase the chances of an implant successfully fusing with the jaw, and also help patients who would otherwise not be considered good candidates.

Fire And Ice reports that NBC will not allow the Devils to have a viewing party at the Prudential Center for tonight's game, nor the Rangers to do the same thing at the Garden on Friday. This despite both teams having viewing parties earlier in the series. What changed? Well, TV numbers have been consistently down from last year, and a source confirmed to Fire And Ice that the decision is ratings related. Can't sell those commercials if folks aren't watching next to their Nielsen Boxes!

To be married in the State of Indiana, a couple must have a marriage license. To apply for a marriage license in Indiana, both you and your future spouse must appear in person at the Clerk's Office in an Indiana county where one of you resides, or for non-residents in the Indiana county where the marriage will be solemnized.
Age. The Clerk can issue a marriage license if:
Exclusions. The Clerk cannot issue a marriage license if:
Identification. Be sure to bring one of the following forms of identification to prove your identity and date of birth:
Indiana state law (IC 31-11-4-6) includes "any written evidence of the individual's date of birth that is satisfactory to the clerk." In addition, if this documentation is in any language other than English, it may be necessary to have it translated and notarized before submitting it to the clerk. Because local policies vary by county, please contact the clerk's office in advance to ensure you have all the required documents.
You will also be required to provide your Social Security Number, although your Social Security Card may not be required.
If you were previously married, you will need to provide the date your marriage ended. In addition, some counties require a certified copy of the divorce decree.
Genealogical Information. The Clerk's Office will collect some family information from you that will be reported to the Indiana State Library (by law) for the purpose of genealogical research. You will need to provide the following for both parents:
The marriage license fee is $18 if one or both parties are Indiana residents and $60.00 for out-of-state residents. Some offices also charge an additional document fee of $2.00. Each copy of the Certified Marriage License (required for name change at BMV, SSN, etc.) is also $2.00. Most counties require these fees to be paid in cash.
If you are eligible as outlined above, have all the necessary documentation, and you're ready to apply for a marriage license, you can apply at the Clerk's Office in the county where you plan to file.
While you will still have to appear at the Clerk's Office to complete the process and receive your license (as required by law), starting your application online will save you time at the Clerk's Office.
Who may perform a marriage?
Marriages may be performed by a member of the clergy (including a minister, priest, bishop, rabbi, and imam), a judge, a magistrate, a clerk of the circuit court, or a clerk or clerk-treasurer of a city or town.
How long is a marriage license valid?
A marriage license is valid for 60 days from the date it is issued, and couples may be married as early as the same day. Couples who do not marry within the 60 days must apply for a new license before marrying.

Stalin vs Hitler – comic reletteredThursday, August 27th, 2009
The following has been re-posted from the old johnl.org:
This is a comic shown to me by friend Meron. It was originally in Russian by Alexey Lipatov, but an anonymous individual translated it the dialogue into English. It was re-formatted by Thomas Silbey. I went one step further and re-lettered the comic in English, in 2005.
I re-lettered all the dialogue and narrations. I re-lettered most of the special effects, necessitating some re-drawing of the backgrounds. Some special effects I left because they made sense as they were or because they would have been hard to replicate. I took some slight liberties with the text. I know Stalin sounds a bit like Seán Connery, and I like it! Imagine the Scot playing Stalin in the biopic...
If any of the aforementioned people object to this re-lettered comic, please contact me.
You'll have to click Read More to see the comic!

Family sues school district after student burned by soup
Lawsuit claims school was negligent
BELOIT, Wis. — The Beloit-Turner School District is facing a lawsuit after a student was allegedly burned by soup served in a school cafeteria.
The family of the 8-year-old said her soup was served at an unsafe temperature.
According to the lawsuit filed in September, the incident happened Nov. 29, 2011, at Powers Elementary School.
The lawsuit alleges the hot soup was served by a cafeteria staffer and spilled on the student's arm after she was bumped by another student while carrying her lunch tray to a table.
Lawyers for the girl's family said the school didn't instruct students on how to carry the unsafe substance, and school employees were negligent in serving the soup at an unsafe temperature.
It's not clear how badly the girl in this case was burned but the suit claims the girl suffered and will suffer personal and bodily injuries, pain, humiliation, embarrassment, worry, permanent disability, health care expenses and other economic losses as a result of the school's negligence.
District Superintendent Dennis McCarthy said because the case is still pending, school district leaders are unable to comment on it.16833856
WISC-TV tried to contact Derrick Grubb, the lawyer representing the family, but he was unavailable Tuesday.
The lawsuit is also asking for a trial by jury.
No date has been set for when the parties will be in court.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Sitting in the chair of a professional make up artist before a Miss America video shoot, Miss N.H. Megan Lyman took a deep breath and realized, "This is it."
The 21-year-old, small-town, Gilford, N.H. native spent this week competing in the nationally televised Miss America preliminary competitions, with the final top 15 contestants to air tonight at 9 p.m. on ABC.
"I've just been given signs that say I'm on the right path. I'm going the right way," says Megan.
She won the Miss New Hampshire Scholarship Program in April of 2012, as well as the honor of the Congeniality Award, and has spent the past nine months serving her community and training hours per day to compete for the title of Miss America.
After a week spent with 53 women from each of the United States, District of Columbia, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, Megan sits calmly with an ear-to-ear smile and obviously composed attitude.
In the three nights of preliminary competitions, Megan competed in talent, on-stage question, evening wear and had a 10 minute interview with an esteemed panel of celebrity judges — Bradley Bayou, an accomplished designer and member of Oprah's "Glam Squad"; Cheryl Burke, an award-winning dancer, choreographer and television star; Sam Champion, a well-known morning television broadcaster and weather editor; Mary Hart, a global broadcasting icon and television host; Daymond John, an entrepreneur, business icon and television star; McKayla Maroney, a 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist and Katie Stam Irk, Indiana's very first Miss America turned marketing professional and philanthropist.
"I went in (to the interview) so relaxed and ready. I felt great when I walked in and when I walked out I felt even better," says Megan of her private interview.
With the preliminary competitions out of the way, she looks forward to the finals tonight.
Despite catching a few "Zs" during spare minutes of rehearsals, constant buffet food, and not knowing their hectic schedule until the evening before, Megan says, "It's a little surreal I haven't been very nervous. I'm living every day to the fullest. Nerves haven't come into play yet."
Enjoying every minute, Miss New Hampshire has spent hours in rehearsals and television filming, but a moment that resonates with her was meeting Miss America 2000 Heather French.
"She's so beautiful and represents this organization every day, still. She told a story of going to the grocery store at 10 a.m. to get her sick son medicine, with no make up on. People recognize her and ask for a photo and of course she says, 'yes.'"
But, this wasn't the first time she met her competitors. Megan met and spent a week with the 53 women in Orlando, Fla. at the little sister program, Miss America's Outstanding Teen.
"I met them all and it was scary to see them here, so competitive, after all being so sweet in Orlando," admits Megan.
However, she says she has made many friends to keep for a lifetime.
Called "the nicest, most down-to-earth girl" by Miss Strafford County's Outstanding Teen Caroline Carter, Megan admits her family and friends visiting Las Vegas to watch her compete keep her grounded.
The Miss America Organization is the world's largest provider of scholarship assistance for young women and one of the nation's leading achievement programs. Last year, the Miss America Organization and its state and local affiliates made available more than $45 million in scholarship assistance. The 2013 Miss America Competition marks its third consecutive year on ABC tonight.
The show will air tonight at 9 p.m.
Liz Lyman, Megan's mother, says Miss N.H.'s godfather encouraged her before her on-stage question competition by saying, "Just be yourself."
Megan responded, "I don't know who else to be!"

Well I am back from vacation and wishing I was still at the beach. This past week I was fortunate enough to spend a week on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina with three of my girlfriends. Lucky us, we also spent a day and night in Savannah to further soak up the southern hospitality. This was our second annual trip visiting HHI and Savannah during the first week of May and we plan to keep up the tradition. We relaxed on the beach, biked the trials, shopped the outlets, and ate at glorious restaurants! You can expect to see some reviews of the local restaurants over the next couple weeks ( I need to sort out my pictures), but until I get those reviews up I will share with you some of the yummy treats I baked to bring on the trip. You see, my friends have come to expect that I bring some sort of baked good to everything, and I did not want to disappoint. In addition to the heavenly Orange Yogurt Cake pictured above, I also made a Key Lime and Coconut Yogurt Cake, S'mores Cookies, and Snickerdoodle Scones. You can expect to see those recipes soon.
I saw a recipe for Orange Sour Cream Loaf Cake on The Cooking Photographer and thought it would be the perfect recipe to substitute Greek yogurt. I was lucky enough to be contacted by Stoneyfield Farm Organic Yogurt to see if I would like to sample their new Greek Yogurt line Oikos and of course I jumped at the opportunity. We eat yogurt all the time in our house and often cook with it (in fact we made tzatziki just last night). The cake was amazing and I think the yogurt endhanced the texture and kept the cake moist for days. In addition, the yogurt was great on its own.
Orange Yogurt Cake
adapted from The Cooking Photographer
For the cake:
1 cup fat free Greek yogurt
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
Zest of 3 oranges
1 tsp real vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
½ cup melted butter
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, mix together the baking powder and flour. In a seperate large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, eggs, orange zest, vanilla extract, salt, and butter. Stir in the yogurt until combined. Add the flour mixture and mix until combined, being careful not to over mix.
Pour the cake batter into the loaf pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Wait for 10 minutes and carefully remove to a cooling rack.
For soaking warm cake:
1/3 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
While the cake is cooking, add the orange juice and granulated sugar to a small sauce pan. Cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is melted and the liquid is mainly clear. About 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Place the cooling rack on top of a piece of wax paper. Spoon the mixture over the cake. Allow the cake to finish cooling.
For glazing cooled cake:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons Orange Zest
Mix together powdered sugar and orange juice. Spoon glaze over the top and garnish with orange zest; let the cake set up overnight before serving.
(Note that I baked the cake in 4 miniature loaf pans as apposed to 1 large pan. It took approximately 30 minutes to bake, but you will need to monitor your cakes based on your oven).

Orange Yogurt Cake


text: by Comments () A + A - reset The apostle Peter was a worrier. He worried about drowning when he was walking on water, even though Jesus was right there with him (Matthew 14:29-31). He worried about what was going to happen to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, so he pulled out his sword and tried to take on a battalion of Roman soldiers (John 18:2-3, 10). And when he worried about Jesus being crucified, Peter ordered God Himself not to go to the cross (Matthew 16:22). Nevertheless, although Peter had ongoing trouble with anxiety, he learned how to deal with it, and he passed on the lesson to us—a lesson that shows the connection between our humility and our ability to conquer anxiety. Clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:5-7, emphasis added). When Peter said "clothe yourselves with humility toward one another" (1 Peter 5:5), he had a specific image in mind. He used a Greek term that means to tie something on yourself with a knot or a bow. It came to refer especially to a work apron. A slave would put on an apron over his or her clothes to keep them clean, just like you might before you start a messy chore. The word became a synonym for humble service. Humility is the attitude that you are not too good to serve others, and you are not too great to stoop. It was not considered a virtue in the ancient world. Sadly, we have reverted to those times in that regard. Humble people today are mocked and trampled on. The world calls them wimps and instead exalts pride, arrogance, and runaway egos. Although society was no different in Peter's day, he called his readers to be different. To support his exhortation to clothe ourselves in humility toward one another, Peter cites the Old Testament: "God is opposed to the proud, but give grace to the humble" (1 Peter 5:5, cf. Proverbs 3:34). Those verses provide keen motivation for displaying humility. In simple terms, we will be blessed if we are humble and chastised if we are not. And one of the blessings of humility is the ability to deal with anxiety. On the other hand, pride only compounds your problems when you give in to worry. Pride usurps God's preeminent position, leaving you no one to rely on when anxiety creeps in. You can't rest in the sovereignty of God when you arrogantly exalt your desires, opinions, and will to the same level—or above—the Lord's. Humility keeps priorities in proper order. It keeps you from being overwhelmed by your own circumstances and instead focuses your attention on God's plans and purposes in those circumstances. It takes your focus off the immediate situation and helps you appreciate what the Lord is accomplishing behind the scenes. Humility also puts us on God's timetable and not our own. As Peter says, "He may exalt you at the proper time" (1 Peter 5:6). What's the proper time? His time, not ours. When will it be? When He has accomplished His purpose. Now that might seem a little vague, but there's no cause for concern—God has perfect timing. Indeed, our salvation depended on His perfect timing. Paul specified that the hope of eternal life was "at the proper time manifested" through Jesus Christ (Titus 1:1-3). Trusting in God's timing is no light or peripheral matter to the Christian faith. We can, and should, rest assured that God will exalt us according to His perfect timing. But what kind of exaltation should we anticipate? Paul used a Greek term that speaks of lifting us out of our present trouble. For the Christian, even the worst trial is only temporary. Remember that truth, as you will be tempted to conclude that because there's no end in sight, there is no end at all. Don't believe it for a minute; God promises to lift you out. How are we to conduct ourselves until the promised time of deliverance? Peter said "Humble yourselves . . . casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you" (1 Peter 5:6-7). That's where we'll pick it up next time. (Adapted from Anxious for Nothing.) Show Comments ()

Rescue Profile: Dale and John
Case #: 12299
Dale, a retired community college administrator and instructor, is an avid hiker, backpacker and cyclist. At the age of 67, he now spends most of his free time hiking through the backcountry of Oregon and California alone and with fellow backpackers.
Like many hikers, Dale often worried about connectivity during his travels. This is why SPOT piqued his interest when reading one of his favorite magazines. Soon after, Dale visited REI to purchase his first SPOT device. In celebration of Memorial Day, Dale and 7 other hikers ranging from ages 51 to 74 decided to take a five day trip to Mattole Beach Campground near Petrolia, California. This time, he made sure to add his new SPOT Gen 3™ as a "must bring" item.
Rescue Profile: Bill and his comrade
Case #: 11936
Bill, current President of Ruby Valley Search and Rescue and a "retired" Army pilot, is an avid hunter and fisherman. Needless to say, Bill spends a lot of time outdoors; he jokingly states he knows most trees on a first name basis.
Several years ago, Bill developed a preparedness plan, which included having a SPOT device. He even developed a messaging system for friends and family on his contact list: (1) Check In message in the morning and evening to family and friends, (2) Check In messages back to back to let them know he got an elk, and (3) Check In messages back to back to let everyone know that he was headed out of the backcountry.
Rescue Profile: Keith and Duane
Case #: 11163
Duane and Keith are an active and experienced father-son climbing duo. Safety is always a priority, which is why Keith decided to purchase a SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger™ to take on their outdoor adventures.
On one such adventure, father and son were climbing Handies Peak in Colorado when the pair's day took a life-threatening turn. Duane began to experience severe chest pains and could not continue. At almost 14 thousand feet, storm clouds gathering and spotty cellular coverage, Keith pressed the SOS button on his SPOT device.
Rescue Profile: Ben and Dave
Case #: 7438
Several friends headed out for a quick lap of kayaking in California's Cherry Bomb gorge. Gear packed and ready for the water, Ben, who had bought a SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger™ a few days before, tossed the device in his backpack as an afterthought. "The camp was only 10 minutes away and it was just a quick trip," recalled Ben. "I didn't think we would need SPOT, but I figured I've got it, I might as well take it."
Ben, sidelined from a previous injury, watched from a ledge as his friends passed by.
Rescue Profile: Frank and Sam
Case #: 9925
Frank and three of his friends got together for a day of off-road riding in the California forest. The friends were all expert quad riders, knowing both their vehicles and the terrain. With packed lunches and dressed for cool weather, off they went to explore.
Along the way, they encountered a large log and decided to ride across it. Frank successfully crossed first, followed by Sam. While crossing, Sam accidentally hit his throttle wide open. His quad bucked sideways and Sam's friends watched in disbelief as he fell 70 feet.

Every color day, I make a bottle of colored water. Of course, on the secondary color days I miraculously "can't find" the orange, green and purple "rainbow drops", so we brainstorm how we will make it. Eventually, the children come up with mixing the colors and we create "magic" in the bottles using the primary colored water. The really neat thing is that when you hold the bottles one in front of the other (ex. red in front of yellow), you can actually see it making orange before you actually mix the colors together!
We make mosaic rainbows on black paper. I just cut strips of each rainbow color and then cut squares and rectangles (to also reinforce our basic shape unit we do at the beginning of the year). I copy a rainbow onto black paper that has Rs where the the red shapes go, Os where the orange shapes go, etc. This is so fun and makes a great display when they are all done.

News Reports and Articles
Spain: The Legendary "Basajaun"
INEXPLICATA has written elsewhere about the "simiots" of Spain's Catalunya and Upper Aragon - creatures that may well find their U.S. counterparts in our very own Bigfoot.
Today, Raul Nuñez of the IIEE sends us an interesting article on another supersized inhabitant of the Pyrenees -- the towering "Basajaun", a regular feature of Basque folklore. The article, written by Roberto Aretxaga and J.M. Satrústegui, first appeared in issue 134 of the defunct Karma-7 magazine:
"There exist cratures of considerable height, completely covered in hair, that wander the Pyrenees with incredible agillity, and even along non-Pyrenaic ares such as Zenauri, in the Basque Country, or the caves of Muskia and Mailuxe. They are collectively known as the "Basajun", the lords of the forests.
"According to journalist Roberto Artetxaga, the existence of this folkloric creature is deeply rooted in Basque tradition, and adds that its very name is suggestive, as the Euskera words "baso" (forest, wilderness) and "Jaun" (lord) render the composite of Basajaun, master of the forests or the wilderness.
"The description is that of a creature endowed with extraordinary physical force, great agility and speed of travel, consierable height, quite taller than an average man, and fully anthropopmorhic features, covered in long hair and sometimes described as having long claws.
"Many people believed that these creatures posessed the secret of cultivating wheat and that humans learned from them how to plant and harvest it. They are also considered as the first ironsmiths and millwrights, from whom humans learned the secret of the saw, the millwheel and the welding of metals. Basajaun is considered as the protective spirit of flocks, and up to only a few years ago, Basque shepherds held the belief that when animals caused their bells to ring at the same time, it meant that the Basajaun was near. Shepherds found this reassuring, safe in the knowledge that their herds would not be decimated by wolves.
"Legend and reality have become interwoven, but J.M. Satrústegui points out in his book "Mitos y Creencias" that livestock farmers in Valcarlos and Ondorrola were fully convinced of this creature's existence. He even managed to secure the testimony of an elder who told him that he would receive visits from the basajauns at his homestead, but never knew why. They had not visited him for a long time. Another eyewitness account mentions a sighting of a young Basajaun basking in the sun at the opening to the Mailuxe cave, and the added description of this creature as being blond.

Once again I have a few oddball links that I want to make a note of, so I can find them myself in the future. When I'm not terrifically pressed for time.
- I've been in and out of more than a few floppy-based distros, and if you look at the "genre" intended on the ancient (but world-famous!) floppy disk, there don't seem to be many left. That may or may not be the case, but wouldn't you know it, the people and fans of Slitaz have an online tool that deserves investigation. This page is like an addictive drug to a person like me. What? I can download any of a number of customized floppy-based versions of Slitaz, write them to a floppy in a minute or two, and boot to them on my Pentium? Well, there goes my weekend! 😀 (P.S.: Thanks to Belak for pointing it out.)
- Mostly for my own reference, the next time I see those cool little characters in names and links, is this page, which makes them all obvious and right up front. Granted, living at the console, most of those come through as question marks in elinks. But knowing they are there and how to get them is somehow … gratifying. 🙂
- I have mentioned a half-dozen times my unnatural affection for Neverwinter Nights, BioWare's seminal role-playing game of nearly a decade ago. By extension I feel obligated to mention that you can get the game in its final pinnacle release — the Diamond edition — at Good Old Games for a measly US$10, to include manuals, wallpaper, avatars, maps, etc. And US$10 for that is practically a crime. Not only does the game — still — have a native Linux client, but it actually works better in most upper-end distros (to include Ubuntu) than in Windows. While you're at it, get copies of the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series, for almost nothing.
- One more, and then I have to get back to shuffling my household: If vim is awesome, vimcasts.org is awesome to the power of awesome. Not only does the presenter have a way cool voice, but the issues are explained clearly and concisely. And the end results — or really, the settings that will give you the end results — are easy to put into place. And let's face it: What did you really want when you started vim for the first time? Someone to show you how to use vim. 😉
That's it for now; I'm stashing those here now so I can look at them later. I am going back to cardboard boxes and rolls of sello tape. Wish me luck. 😯 🙄

Millions of taxpayer dollars hidden by California state parks officials for a decade first piled up unintentionally after a performance-based budgeting program produced accounting errors in the parks department's books, an Attorney General's investigation released Friday (Jan. 4) found.
The investigation began in August after state officials disclosed the parks department obscured $54 million from the state's fiscal year 2013 budget process. The revelation came at a time when the department had received numerous donations from donors hoping to save 70 parks threatened with closure because of budget cuts, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Investigators determined parks officials intentionally hid only a portion of the original amount — up to $29 million — finding that the rest of the discrepancy was attributable to accounting issues. Since the money was not reported for the state's budget process, it could not be spent on anything and investigators concluded none of it was misappropriated.
Current and former parks officials told the investigators the funds were kept hidden because supervisors feared they would suffer budget cuts — and embarrassment — if the stash came to light.
"Throughout this period of intentional nondisclosure, some parks employees consistently requested, without success, that their superiors address the issue," the report said.
The hidden pots of recreation fund money began piling up in 1996, possibly because of the way the department reported corrections to its prior-year financial reports under its new performance-based budgeting program, the report found.
Investigators found the accounting errors were discovered as long ago as 1998, but were not reviewed fully by the department until 2002, when the total being underreported to the budget had reached $29 million. At that time, the money was intentionally put under wraps, according to the report.
The investigators interviewed 40 current and former state employees. One exception was former department director Ruth Coleman, who resigned after the funds were disclosed and denied knowing anything about them.
One of Coleman's deputies, Michael Harris, was fired when the scandal broke. He was the highest-level official investigators were able to conclude had participated in hiding the funds, and now works for the Department of Environmental Protection, according to The Associated Press.
Investigators did not conclude Coleman knew the funds were hidden, despite the claims of some of those interviewed that they had discussions with her about the secret money. The report said the employees' claims did not make it clear Coleman knew the funds were intentionally being hidden.
The report suggested Tom Domich, who served as a deputy director from 1987 to 2004, may have been the first to decide to keep the money hidden. The report said Domich refused to acknowledge the claims of two parks officials who told investigators they reported the funds to him and that he "unpersuasively denies all knowledge of the disparity and his role in the deception."

Truckers and zombies: A match made in a tool factory, Hollywood and Colorado
It's Colorado. We have zombies, and because we have two major interstates crossing the state and intersecting in Denver, we have truckers, too.
And then suddenly, in a peanut-butter-meets-chocolate-meets-Halloween moment earlier this week, we had both.
Zombies and truckers together, in a press release from a little tool company called The Innovation Factory.
Innovation manufactures (in the U.S., no less) a multi-tool it calls the Trucker's Friend. It's a curved-blade hand ax, a little over 19 inches long, with notches and grippers and pryers and lifters and a hammer head. It's billed for use in search-and-rescue, on campouts and hikes, for firefighters and construction crews. It's useful for pulling on tire chains, chopping brush or firewood, prying out nails.
But also zombies.

I'm so excited to let you know that I'll be teaching an Into to Modern Quilting class at Sewn Studio in Cincinnati! The six week course starts next month, and I'm busy working on the sample project of the pattern we'll be completing in class. We're using Elizabeth Hartman's fabulous book, The Practical Guide to Patchwork: New Basics for the Modern Quiltmaker as a guide, and each student will receive their own copy, which will be a handy reference tool for them as they progress as quilters. Students in my class will be making a lap sized quilt, using one of Elizabeth's patterns in the book.
The course will cover quilt making basics, tips on choosing fabrics, techniques on quilting and binding and more, and I'll be helping students through every step along the way. The class will be held on Wednesdays from 6:00-8:30 pm and begin on May 18th. For more information or to sign up, please visit Sewn Studio's Facebook page or call them at 513-321-0600. Hope to see you there!

Latent Variable Mixture Modeling
posted on Saturday, June 25, 2005 - 12:24 am
Dear Professor ...this is my model
I have two binary(0/1) outcome variables, Y1 and Y2. I am planning to fit LCA along with direct effects of covaraites(X) on Y's ... the two Y's are in effect severely correlated, since both indicates some sort of economic choice decision (rho is almost =0.8)...
I have some questions ...I'm sorry, actually they are many
1. Is there any way to check and deal with local DEPENDENCE in Mplus when the outcome variables are categorical (I suppose with continuous variable "WITH" command can handle this)... mine is version 3.12
2. in case we fail to deal with local-dependence in Mplus, how severely it will affect my results (I mean in terms of peer reviewed standard Journal acceptance) apart from the possible problem of over-fitting number of classes
3. in Mplus, can we do parametric bootstrapping (McLachlan 1999) and MCMC (Bensmail 1997) for determing number of classes and their forms
I was going through "LatentGOLD"'s technical appendix ...
4a. there they start with EM and when they come close enough to final solution they switch to N-Raphson. Thus they "combine the the advantages of both algorithm, that is, stability of EM even when far away from the optimum and speed of N-raphson when close to optimum" ...
4b.besides ML they also use MAP (maximum posterior) for model parameter estimation ...the advantages of MAP over ML is that "it prevents the occurence of boundary or terminal solution: probabilities and variances cannot become zero" ...I'm just curious about the above two claims ... can you cast some light on these
I'm sure in MPlus we calculate posterior class memebership probabilites ... however, I could NOT find (I could have overlooked it though) any corresponding equation in our Mplus Technical appendix (chapter 8) ... is there any reason behind such
thanks and regard
Linda K. Muthen

This will be answered after July 1.

Ok Professor, that would be equally good to get the answer around July 1st,... in between I have read MPlus Example 7.16, "LCA with partial conditional independence" and the article written by Qu, Tan & Kunter, Biometrics, 1996, 797 -810 ...it looks like there are some ways to handle the issues of non-independence even when the manifest/outcome/dependent variable are categorical ...I have couple of questions
1. can MPlus fit Qu, Tan and Kunter model for single categorical latent varaible but with more than two latent classes and when the categorical variables are ordinal (rather than binary)...I have tried but did NOT work �what about the testing of non-independence
2. I was reading your "Beyond SEM", Behaviormetrika article(equation 28 and 29), same thing is also there in MPlus technical appendix (eq. 150 and 151, chapter 8) ...where you are introducing CONTINUOUS latent variable(eta) and other covariates (X) as explanatory variables for Categorical variable (U)) ...
a) I could NOT find any error term in the equation for eta...why is it so?
b) you say the model is good for "growth modeling" ... I have a hunch that they could also be used in my situation , where U1 and U2 are two binary indicator, U1 comes first in the survey question, U1 and U2 does share similarity in the sense both deals with economic choices ...can you give us some suggestion
Thanks and regards

1. Yes. If you have a problem, send to support.
2. a) The dependent variable u* is the logit, and in line with regular logistic regression the RHS does not have a residual. Maybe the notation makes you think that u* is a continuous latent response variable.
2b) Perhaps.

Dear Prof. Muthan,
I am attempting to run a 3 class LCA with four manifest variables but I also want to allow for local dependence among three pairs of variables. Could you please tell me how to set this up in the modelling command?
Using example 7.16 (p.143 of the users guide) I created the following input file:
VARIABLE: NAMES ARE u1 u2 u3 u4;
CLASSES = c (3);
CATEGORICAL = u1 u2 u3 u4;
f by u1 u2;
g by u1 u4;
h by u3 u4;
(u1-u4 are ordinal variables with 3 to 4 levels each)
However the results seem to suggest this is incorrect, i.e. the model fit is much worse than the local independent model.
Many thanks
Linda K. Muthen

Three classes cannot be identified with only four latent class indicators.

Dear Prof. Muthen
Many thanks for your reply. I fear i may not have been very clear in my original message.
The manifest variables are not dichotomous. Instead u1-u2 have three levels, and u3-u4 four levels. My understanding for calculating degrees of freedom in this instance (and without modelling local independence) is:
However I must admit i am unsure about calculating degrees of freedom when modelling some local dependence. I was assuming that an initial 111 would be enough for this.
Could you confirm whether this is correct, and also how i would model local dependence among three pairs of these variables in mplus.
Many thanks for your support.

Actually you were clear. I just did not see the last sentence.
You have computed your degrees of freedom correctly. It is a necessary but not sufficient condition that the degrees of freedom be greater than zero. Check the following paper to see if the identification of four classes with three polytomous indicators is discussed:
Goodman, L.A. (1974). Exploratory latent structure analysis using both identifiable and unidentifiable models. Biometrika, 61, 215-231.
You may have hit a local solution in your analysis. How many of the 30 completed runs have the same loglikelihood? Also, you may want to try adding only one residual covariance at a time. Note that in Example 7.16, this was done in a class-specific model part not in the overall model.
If you need further help, please send your input, data, output, and license number to

Hi Drs. Muthen, When mixture modeling in Mplus, how can you request Mplus to do the Bayesian maximum posterior (MAP) estimation and not maximum likelihood estimation? I have read that this procedure helps when you get very high or very low (0 or 1) estimated probabilities in latent class analysis (ie. when you have boundary issues). Thanks, Brent

Do you mean estimating values for continuous latent variables in mixtures? Only EAP is available currently, not MAP. If you have a reference for what you refer to, please let us know.

Hi Drs. Muthen,
I hesitate to ask following question, but I read one of your papers on difference between Mplus and IRTPRO, so I hope the question is not too inappropriate. I have run a same CFA model in both Mplus and IRTPRO, which is a continuous latent variable is measured by a set of ordinal categorical variables with 3-5 points scores. The LD statistics were so different in terms of determine what are the worst LD pairs. For one pair, Standardized LD X2 Statistics was 70 (compared to 10 as cut-point) in IRTPRO, but Residual Correlation was 0.09 (compared to .2 as cut-point) in Mplus. Why is the huge disagreement?

Blind Items Revealed
September 20, 2013
I used to feel sorry for this former A list tween actress who now looks for work like every other actress in town. Maybe she should go back to singing. She is pretty good at it. Anyway two nights ago she was out with her girlfriends and her celebrity husband was doing his thing with the waitress he met a few months back. He's being so open about it and the actress does nothing. I know the guy has money but at some point you have to have some self-respect. He has been doing this to the actress for years.
