Flickr Finds: Dual Duty Seating
4 Comments
thanks for the shout out, gregory! i'll be working on some custom fit, fabric covered, foam cushions for seating. i just got a new sewing machine for my birthday!
Great idea and I totally understand. We are students and have little money. I have a cheaply made entertainment center that I got off of Craigslist for free. Our t.v. is tiny and looks rediculous in the space provided for a t.v. So I plan to hack off the part that goes over the t.v. to use as a desk, then the remaining part I plan to use just as you have- as a seat and storage. I plan to sew a cushion, which I'll probably velcro to it. Now if I can only get my hands on a saw...
I think double duty is right on, but those flat files are darn expensive, and I have seen them ruined by pople sitting on them. They are not designed to stand up to the weight across that large expanse of a top, and will sag. It totally screws up the top drawer.
Just some friendly advice. Otherwise, I think it looks great as a seat, too. Just keep an eye on it!
I'm sure you could just get a sheet of steel or a piece of mdf to sit on top to distribute the weight across the frame of the cabinet to save it from its saggy demise and still keep its dual duties happening. I like. Well done.

Financial Econometrics
- Course Code:
- Unit value:
We define financial econometrics as 'the application of statistical techniques to problems in finance'. Although econometrics is often associated with analysing economics problems such as economic growth, consumption and investment, the applications in the areas of finance have grown rapidly in the last few decades.
Financial markets and others generate vast amounts of data on asset returns, their volatility, and other financial variables in long and high-frequency time series. The ability to analyse market behaviour requires knowledge of the properties of time series and appropriate estimation methods. Since the early 1980s techniques for analysing time series, which exhibit auto-regression, have yielded important studies of financial markets, increasing our knowledge of financial variables' volatility. The objective of the course is to extend your knowledge and equip you with methods and techniques that allow you to analyse these finance-related issues.
Before starting this course, we recommend that you first complete the course Econometric Analysis & Applications [C332].
Study Guide
You will receive a looseleaf binder containing eight 'course units'. The units are carefully structured to provide the main teaching, defining and exploring the main concepts and issues, locating these within current debate and introducing and linking the further assigned readings. The unit files are also available to download from the Online Study Centre.
Chris Brooks (2008) Introductory Econometrics for Finance, Cambridge University Press
Econometric Software
You will receive the software package for university econometrics courses, EViews 6, designed for Windows users.
You will receive a Reader volume containing a selection of key academic articles which apply the techniques studied in the course to financial data.
Online Study Centre
You will have access to the OSC, which is a web-accessed learning environment. Via the OSC, you can communicate with your assigned academic tutor, administrators and other students on the course using discussion forums. The OSC also provides access to the course Study Guide and assignments, as well as a selection of electronic journals available on the University of London Online Library.
Objectives and learning outcomes of the course
By the end of this course you will be able to:
- Understand the properties of financial returns
- Formulate models and analyse the properties of models using matrix notation
- Understand the principles of autoregressive time series models and evaluate their ability to forecast financial variables
- Understand the principles of maximum likelihood, and use maximum likelihood estimation and hypothesis testing
- Understand ARCH and GARCH models and be able to apply them to financial time series which display volatility clustering and asymmetry
- Estimate Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models and interpret the results
- Apply limited dependent variable methods.

I say leave the AH alone! If these folks find ways to make money gaming the AH, then kudos. There really is no need to complain. Really, quest rewards are good enough while leveling, and at end game all the good stuff is BoP. Anything else is easily farmable... there is no reason to use the AH if you don't want to.

I understand the need to keep the small "core" set of examples under your control, so that you can easily verify with 100% certainty that they work and are the same examples distributed with the arduino.
The only reason I brought this up was because of this thread where someone was having problems with the LiquidCrystal library (he's not the first person to have the same question either). I wanted to fix it so that nobody has the same problem anymore, but it's in the Tutorials section.
To answer your question, it seems to me that pretty much everything in the right-hand column of the tutorials page should be moved to the playground.
Thanks for listening!

Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:LXRX)
A biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of breakthrough treatments for human disease.
With more less than 80c per share available in cash, LXRX will have a very hard time to keep their heads above water. The me-too compound, LX4211, seems to be stuck in the ground due to the lack of interest in the pharma community. Even it finds a partner, this will take ages (+3 years at least) to be on the market. There are enough alternatives on the diabetes markets and more developed phase 3s anywhere that LX4211 would seem like a DOA (Dead On Arrival). I think the best way to move forward with LXRX is get rid of the current CEO (A. Sands) and replace the entire Board of Directors. Then, try to sell the sole effective compound LX1032 to a specialty cancer or gut specialty drugmaker and sell the ground/building/labs to a fellow Texan drugmaker. Call it a day! It's over.
Well well well, another S-3 filed. More dilution coming... brace for impact in share price.

- OutstandingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/29/2014Great Restaurant, the service and the server's knowledge was outstandingSpecial Features:
- will returnboob2kDined on 9/27/2014Fabulous evening, wonderful food and Sandy our waitress made it feel as though we were at home with a personal chef who definitely knows how to cook a steak to perfection and we did not have to do any work or clean up. Truly romanticSpecial Features:
- Capitol Grille dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/25/2014I arranged a dinner for three out of town business visitors. The food was very good and they were happy. The pricing is a bit on the high side. I would recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- IncredibleKathPerk11Dined on 9/21/2014Every time I eat at the Capital Grille I'm impressed and amazed. Each meal seems better than the last, and everyone that I've been with is beyond impressed as well. Their staff is so knowledgeable and friendly and the food is out of this world! Unique, yet approachable. And if you don't see something, just ask! They're likely to have it or be able to find it for you. Amazing.Special Features:
- Food wasn't worth the priceMNMomDined on 9/21/2014The service was very good. We had a mixed experience with the food on our visit. The steaks were absolutely outstanding. We had the filet and the tenderloin on the bone and both were excellent. I did not care for the wine reduction with the filet - and I like red wine. The French onion soup was bland and the caesar salads got panned. Flavorless dressing, the anchovies were not the smoked variety and were more like raw. The side of french beans and heirloom tomatoes also were not tasty. The desserts were fine. The cheesecake was a lighter, fluffier style, not a New York style (just FYI). Overall, for the price of the food, I would have expected perfection in flavors. Steak made it, but the rest did not.Special Features:
- A Reliable Go-toMexicanFoodLoverVIPDined on 9/19/2014I don't go to the Grille often, but when I do, I can always expect a wonderful experience. We went to celebrate a birthday. We told them, and we found tasteful birthday confetti waiting on the table, received a complementary bottle of bubbly for a celebratory toast, and a birthday dessert. Service here is impeccable. Servers are knowledgeable on on the menu and make very reliable recommendation for wine pairings. They have a reputation for being expensive, but are no more so than any quality steakhouse in town, and their service rivals most.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disapointed1703johnsonVIPDined on 9/18/2014Steaks were a little overcooked and service was a bit slow.Special Features:
- 1 of favorite MPLS restraurantsJimWVIPDined on 9/13/2014We have visited many times - food and service is one of the best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent First TimeMrFancyPantsDined on 9/13/2014Went there for our 2nd wedding anniversary. Everything was superb: the service, the food, and the overall experience. Highly recommendedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/12/2014We split appetizer( lobster in tempura with Siracha sauce ), salad, and 16 oz bone in filet ( blue cheese on top ), had 2 half bottles of wine ( one white and one red- perfect for the two of us ). We were absolutely full.Special Features:
- Anniversary Celebration!TrishVIPDined on 9/12/2014First time at the Capital Grill and we were definately be back. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary. What a pleasant surprise the champange, rose petals and fabulous desserts were . Thanks for making our night so specialSpecial Features:
- ScrumptiousMugsyVIPDined on 9/11/2014This was our first time here. We had the sliced filet. I am not a big meat eater but this was fantastic. It melted in our mouths. Service was outstanding. We were running a little late to get to the orpheum and our waitress calmly ensured that we got our meal without making us feel rushed. We will definitely be back.Special Features:
- Steaks/hungryhungryDined on 9/7/2014Our son and his wife gave us a gift card for Capital Grill to have a really good steak. My husband had the porterhouse which was very good. I had the fillet which was slightly overdone and no better or not as good as the fillet at other nice restaurants. We had the truffle fries which were very disappointing. The restaurant is very nice but also very noisy. We enjoyed our meal there, but it was too expensive not to have been more memorable.Special Features:
- Top ShelfBobgDined on 9/7/2014Everything was terrific. There is no better place for steak.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/5/2014Capital Grill is our favorite dining option before a show or concert in Minneapolis. It is centrally located near all the performance and music venues. It is by far the best place to eat in the 3 block radius. The service is always great. The lobster specials: Lobster appetizer and the lobster soup were exceptional. Thank you. We will be back.Special Features:
- LauraDined on 9/4/2014Great place for a special dinner before attending a show at the State or Orpheum Theaters!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The BestdiningoutVIPDined on 9/4/2014Our friends and we were celebrating our anniversaries. The evening and dinner at Capital Grille was amazing!!! From the champagne toast, to the incredible appetizer and dinner, and the dessert finale, it couldn't be any better. But then it was! As we were about to leave, we were each presented with a long stemmed red rose, that I am still enjoying! Our server Lynn was excellent, too. She made the evening relaxing but also managed everything perfectly, so we were on time for the musical. They even kept our leftovers and roses for us to pick up at the end of the show. This was our first visit to the Capital Grille and we looking forward to returning soon.Special Features:

- Beef filet Oscar/lobster bisquePammy1916Dined on 8/28/2014Lobster bisque had more lobster than I have ever had and included sherry. Beef Filet Oscar was very generous with the crab and asparagusSpecial Features:
- Poor seating serviceAlabamaVIPDined on 8/27/2014Food was good. Service from our waiter was very good. The problem was the hostess seated my wife and I at a table directly in front of the kitchen. We asked to move. We were met with some attitude and told no at first because they were full. Then we were given a table that was on the end of a another table of 10 people. It was not a good dining experience because of the poor hostess service. We attended Manny's the following night and it was spectacular in every aspect.Special Features:
- FoodieDined on 8/26/2014Excellent food & service. Was very pricey but worth it.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 8/23/2014The food was fantastic but the server, Dylan, was even better. He REALLY knew his stuff and was engaging and professional. He deserves many kudos.Special Features:
- Always SuperbVANB1Dined on 8/22/2014Eating at Capital Grille is always a treat! Food, service, decor and cocktails - perfect every time. Our server was fun as well as attentive and we had a great evening pre-theater dinner.Special Features:
- Best food ever!TangieDined on 8/21/2014I took my daughter here for her 14th birthday.I'm a single mother from canada with not a lot of money, but I saved up. I was a little nervous of the treatment we would get being visibly from a lower class than most there, and my daughter with pink hair and piercings, but everyone was great! The staff were all welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food was soooo good, the best we have ever had, ever! I had the lobster topped steak, my daughter had the fillet mignon, both cooked to perfection. The potatoes au gratin were so so good too. The meal was finished with a complimentary birthday dessert, 2 actually, with happy birthday written in chocolate between them. Perfect dinner, leftovers for breakfast too lol. 100% going back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FancygramVIPDined on 8/21/2014The food is consistently fabulous every time we dine here!Special Features:
- Perfection!CamilleDined on 8/21/2014Capital Grille never disappoints! Food, service and ambience are always of high quality and now they have added even more deliciousness with their lobster appetizer and shaved brussel sprout salad - both were excellelent. Capital Grille is always my first choice when dining downtown Mpls.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Lamb and wineIdahoSasquatchDined on 8/20/2014Service is always top notch at Capital Grill. They messed up our lobster appetizer, so they brought us 2 lobster appetizers! Our waiter was slammed but still able to take excellent care of us. This has become a favorite stop of mine whenever visiting the MSP area. Never have they disappointed me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- great experienceDoreDined on 8/18/2014Lauren and Hung are friendly, fun, attentive wait staff. Love the lavosh and lobster bisque. Hugh chunks of lobster in bisque, calamari crisp, risotto creamy good, scallops seared to perfection, desserts taste as good as they look. Our group comes every year for our joint birthday lunch celebration because we like the food (some keep ordering the same thing every year) and wait staff, and enjoy the special attention we receive. Relaxing, great food, filling.Special Features:
- Late night dinner after Twins gameCquickDined on 8/16/2014We orginally had dinner reservation around 7 for a Saturday night quiet dinner with friends. But we decided to go to the Twins baseball game. After the game we were really hunger so we made late reservations (10:30). So we drove downtown and went to the Capital Grille. We were not suprised because we had been told about the great food and service, the Grille was spot on. We were one of the few remaining diners at the restuarant, but the service did not miss a beat, and the food was fresh and delicious. The Capital Grille exceeded expectations. The price of the meal was as expected for the great service and food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food + amazing service!Kmquinn06VIPDined on 8/16/2014My husband and I would consider ourselves foodies and love trying new foods and new restaurants. But when we feel like a great steak with the awesome classic "potato and vegetable" side, we always come here. There's just something about the Capital Grille that makes you feel so comfortable, yet feels like a fancy/special night out. We always request our favorite server, Teresa, when making reservations and she is always a gem to see and talk to. Capital Grille is just the perfect place for a special night out when you feel like your classic meat and potatoes and it's charming staff (especially Teresa). Will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Describe your skiing background
- I started skiing at 5, after living abroad my first few years. Then at the age of 8 I started ski racing with my friends, and took it quite serious until the age of 18 and FIS comps. By that time I was not enrolled in any skiing uni. or college, so following the progression of my racing buddys became hard and I started loosing interest. After a year in the military I bought a pair of used Rossignol Scratch BC skis and thought I could hang with my ski bum buddies that had migrated back from Canada after shredding pow for a season. And I could! I was hooked on skiing again and it felt great!
What was your big breakthrough or defining moment in skiing?
- Skiing untracked cold powder snow for the first time at the age of 20! I could not believe all the good snow I had missed all these years with ski racing. Now I truly appreciate my background training, allowing me so many great runs in the mountains!
Describe a skiing experience when things got out of hand:
- A day in Mayerhofen, Austria. Skiing with some buddies. First run I'm skiing a easy spine run where there is a exit through a shoot. And the whole snow pack releases and thankfully nobody got buried, but I was still on top. Deciding to jump the rocky icy part and ski out the avalanche debris was no good idea. I crashed and tore up a ligament injury in my thumb. I taped my thumb back together, and set of skiing more, I ended up setting off 3 more pretty big slides and crashing, breaking myself and my pole by the end of the day.
What I took home from that: Listen to the mountain if she's telling you something. If you got a bad feeling, better to turn around!
What are you up to when you're not skiing?
- Surfing! Mostly waves, but some windsurfing, kitesurfing and wake. Yoga. Slackline. Climbing. Biking. Hiking. Training in general to get fit for the next time on skis.
Any training advice or suggestions?
- Varied training is the most important I think. If you want to be good at something and tackle all situations you should have experience with different sports that train your coordination, balance, and different muscles. Find something you like to do! If it's fun you'll get much more out of your training. And when it's not that much fun… like paddling out a 5 second period beach break with 2,7 meter waves, just think of it as good training!
Who or what inspires you?
- Kelly Slater, Seth Morrison, Taj Burro, Sverre and Kaj. I'm inspired by free spirits who stay on top of their game for as long as these guys… also the Dalai Lama, Mahatma Gandhi, and other great peaceful loving people!
How do you see skiing evolving in the next five years?
- Everybody has been talking about bringing the park to the big mountain scene. But definitely people like JP, Sean Petit and Adam Widen who are charging hard and doing big tricks in lines is inspiring to watch. I think we'll see more of that. Also I think the tradition for skiing steep lines and combining gnarly climbs and inaccessible terrain you see in Chamonix among other places will be more spread out to other remote places around the world! People are adventurous, and to quote the great Jeremy Jones: "If someone else has ridden it (a line) before me, the level of intensity is totally brought down a notch."
Do you have any vices that you would like to share?
- Backflips scare me!!
What are your future plans or goals in skiing?
- Training hard to become as good a skier as I possibly can, I aim to qualify for the World Tour, and win the Norwegian Freeride Cup!
