This week the House and Senate will vote on budget-balancing measures which create controversy not only in financial matters but in the abortion issue as well. The bill includes the "Hyde Amendment" which would deny federal funds for abortions as part of a proposed program of health care for uninsured children age 18 and under. The amendment only makes exceptions in cases of rape, incest and when the life of the woman is in danger.
According to Kate Michelman of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, "It's just another example of how the right wing in Congress is using every vehicle they can, including the budget process, to restrict women's access to abortion services and make abortion more difficult for women in general to obtain." To counter the amendment, Democrats in Congress have been signing a letter asking the White House to remove abortion restrictions from the bills. Although the Administration has not threatened to veto the bill, it told House leaders that "major objectionable items" of the bill include the curbs on abortion.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Two key players are finding their way for the San Francisco Giants.
Pablo Sandoval homered for the first time in more than a month and Ryan Vogelsong won for just the second time in nine starts, leading the San Francisco Giants past the Miami Marlins 4-1 on Sunday to salvage a split of their four-game series.
Manager Bruce Bochy never doubted these two would get on track.
''They're two guys we need to have success,'' Bochy said, ''Vogey being a starter and Pablo hitting in the heart of the order.''
Buster Posey returned from a day off to hit a sacrifice fly, while Tyler Colvin and Brandon Hicks each hit RBI singles in a stretch of four straight base hits with two outs in the first against Jacob Turner.
Staked to an early lead, Vogelsong (2-2) struck out six in seven innings as the Giants concluded a season-long stretch with 17 games in as many days. San Francisco avoided its first three-game home losing streak.
Turner (0-2) is still searching for his first road win, falling to 0-11 in 18 career road starts.
''All I can do is go out and give it everything I have,'' he said. ''Wins, losses, those are things I can't control.''
Sandoval connected for his third home run with two outs in the fifth, his first since April 13 against the Rockies. He has struggled so far in a contract year.
Christian Yelich's RBI groundout off Jeremy Affeldt in the eighth accounted for Miami's run. Sergio Romo pitched the ninth for his 15th save.
A day after San Francisco was shut out 5-0 - its second shutout in five games - and went 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position and stranded nine, the Giants jumped on Turner right away.
The right-hander hit Gregor Blanco to begin the bottom of the first and Blanco stole second, then Posey's sacrifice fly two batters later put the Giants on the board. Eight of San Francisco's 15 runs in the series came with two outs.
Vogelsong did his part, and got some help from the defense with a double play and caught stealing.
The pitcher also had his third hit of the year with a second-inning single.
Vogelsong allowed five hits, struck out at least six for the third time in four May outings, and walked one for his second win of the season. His other victory came May 3 at Atlanta - and the right-hander stayed optimistic.
''You have to believe that you're going to turn it around and get it going,'' Vogelsong said.
''That's what my hope was. You have to believe that. If you don't, you're behind the 8-ball to begin with. ... I've read some of the stuff he was saying about Pablo and other people and a lot of it was mental, and it's true.
''First of all, you have to stop digging a hole, to get out of it. Second of all you have to believe that you can do it. When they believe in you, too, that goes a long way. That helps a lot.''
Sandoval has raised his batting average to .220 by hitting .389 during a nine-game hitting streak.
Both teams ended grueling May stretches, and Miami slugger Giancarlo Stanton didn't play until late.
The Marlins wrapped up their season-long 11-game road trip out West with just their third loss in the past 15 meetings at AT&T Park, where Miami has its best road record since 2011.
The club heads home to put its 17-5 record at Marlins Park on the line against the Phillies.
Giants center fielder Angel Pagan had an MRI on his bruised left shoulder that showed a sprained AC joint, which he hurt trying for a diving catch Saturday. The hope is after sitting out Sunday coupled with Monday's day off he could be ready to play Tuesday at Colorado.
''I'm not really concerned,'' Pagan said. ''Two days off will be good for me.''
Injured Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro will have a platelet-rich plasma injection Monday in Miami.
NOTES: San Francisco RHP Tim Hudson threw at a higher intensity off flat ground as he nurses a strained left hip that forced him to miss his Friday start. He will have a bullpen session Tuesday ahead of his scheduled start Thursday at Coors Field. ... Giants RF Hunter Pence became the active leader in games played when Texas slugger Prince Fielder sat out Saturday to have his streak end at 547. Pence has appeared in 351 straight games with 216 consecutive starts. He leads the majors in innings played with 409 2-3.

Difference between revisions of "Bontoc"
Revision as of 11:14, 13 August 2013
Bontoc is a gateway to up north and to other prime locations such as Banaue and Sagada. Its a small town which is easy to figure out and walk around.
Get in
Baguio to Bontoc:
GL Lizardo Bus, departs 8am, 10am &2:30pm Governor pck Rd. Baguio City, 220 Pesos
Manila to Bontoc
Cabletours, departs 8:30 pm the bus terminal is inside the Trinity University of Asia Campus at E. Rodriguez Ave. Cubao, Quezon City, 600 Pesos
Get around
Its very easy just to walk around the main street and find everything you need. Tricycles here are cheap and I have never had a hassle paying the local rate.
Sagada weaving products and other cordillera souvenirs at the mountain outlet store. Above the market square, behind the landbank in the multipurpose building.
Arik restaurant & snackhaus': BEST PANCAKES in cordillera, Php 15 with butter and sweeten condensed milk, brewed coffee Php 10. green building on the second floor at the very end of town, on the left hand side, past the market, past the mountain provenience college, next to where the Jeepney's leave for Kalinga.
Mountain hotel: next to the tourist office. cheap and basic, single Php 120, double Php 240 (shared bathroom) no power outlets but will charge anything for free. close to d'rising bus stop to Baguio (departs regularly from 5am-4pm) Bold text
Get out
There is a faster way to get to the East Coast without going all the way down to Baguio. There is a daily bus from Bontoc to Cervantes which departs from the market at 930am. It costs 100 pesos and 2 hours to get to Cervantes from Bontoc. The road to cervantes wasn't quite completed as of May 2011 and to get to the town requires another 10 pesos by tricycle. Once at Cervantes, you can take a van to Tagudin, which is in between Vigan and San Fernando (La Union). The ride is another 2 hours and goes over the Bessang Pass. It costs 150 pesos. Once at Tagudin, it is relatively easy to hop on a bus going North or South. An airconditioned Partas bus heading from Tagudin to Vigan costs 153 pesos and was 2 hours long.
There are regular jeepneys to Sagada.

AKids Unlimited charter school application submitted to the Medford School District has been deemed incomplete for the second time in two years, the district said Friday.
"Of course it's disappointing," said Tom Cole, director of Kids Unlimited. "But we're still very focused on moving forward."
In sending the document back to Kids Unlimited Thursday, district officials said there were still some parts of the K-8 school application that needed additional work.
"It was a comprehensive plan, don't get me wrong," said Julie Evans, district supervisor of elementary education.
Evans said the application was thorough, but still had a few areas that needed improvement.
The proposed charter school, VIBES, would serve primarily at-risk students in grades K-8 at Kids Unlimited, 821 N. Riverside Ave., and in an adjacent building.
Some of the school's goals were to provide longer school days, a longer school year and more family involvement.
Cole said the organization's next step will be to reconvene Kids Unlimited board members and other community partners who worked on the application and plan a meeting with district administration.
"We need to make sure we're all on the same page," said Cole. "So the first step is sitting back down with the district."
The application returned Thursday was significantly more detailed than a previous application submitted by the group last year, according to both Cole and Evans.
Last spring Kids Unlimited proposed a sixth-to-eighth grade charter school, aiming to help kids with the difficult transition from elementary school to high school.
When the district deemed that application incomplete, Kids Unlimited staff headed back to the drawing board, returning more than a year later with an entirely new plan for a K-8 school.
"It was much more in depth this time," said Evans.
The district returned the application to Kids Unlimited within a required 15-day window, but Kids Unlimited has no timeline to adhere to should it decide to resubmit the application.
Evans said she hoped to hear back from the organization soon so that the district could explain the application's deficiencies. She declined to disclose the shortcomings.
"We're hoping we can start to work out the details," said Evans. "It's minor details, little holes and gaps. I think they will be able to complete the application. That's my opinion."
Under Oregon statutes, charter school applications must include more than 25 elements, including descriptions of the school's target population, admission policies and teaching techniques.
If Kids Unlimited's application is deemed complete by the district in the future, the next step would be a 60-day review period by district officials.
During the review period, the district will decide whether the proposed charter is viable, and if it would have a positive effect on the district.
From there, the administration would make a recommendation to the School Board. If the decision is to go forward, the board would establish the charter, a contract between the district and the school outlining how it will operate.
Cole said that despite the application being deemed incomplete, the organization would continue its mission to form the charter school.
"We put a lot of work into this application," said Cole. "Our plan is certainly not to give up."

VIBES charter school proposal hits snag
AKids Unlimited charter school application submitted to the Medford School District has been deemed incomplete for the second time in two years, the district said Friday.

Before the summer's at its end, perfect your glamorous beachy waves look! Everyone adores the beach wave hairstyle, that gets its name from the natural waves your hair creates after its been exposed to the salty air and ocean from the beach. Lots of stylish gals have taken to trying to recreate the effortless-looking waves off the beach. You can rock this look anywhere, but it especially looks great paired with some luxury swimwear! We will show you how you can achieve the beachy waves look and some beautiful designer swimwear styles that look great with this hairstyle.
There are many ways to get beachy waves, but we will talk about the easiest ways that don't require heat! Yes, it's obvious you can get waves by curling your hair then tousling with your fingers for that messy look. However, heat is damaging and during the summer our hair already takes a beating from the sun and the chlorine or ocean water we expose it to. Creating heatless beachy waves will only work for ladies with straight hair. If your hair is naturally curly, you will have to use a straightener, blow dryer and round brush to achieve looser curls. For curly girls, we say you should save your hair from the heat and styling and rock your natural curls at the beach! You've already got envy-worthy curls! In the next sections, we will go over the methods to get wavy beach hair for straight-hair gals. For now, check out the wavy, beach-ready hair on celebs Britney Spears and Paris Hilton! Their blonde wavy locks look cute with their white bikinis, and our bikini choice to achieve the same look is the Call Me Maybe bikini. Look super flirty wearing the Call Me Maybe with some sexy beachy hair!
One of the easiest ways to get beachy waves is to wet your hair, part it into two sections then twist it together. You can also braid your hair or put it in a bun. Tie off the hair then let it dry, either overnight while you're asleep or for the majority of the day. You can do this after you get out of the shower or simply wet your hair with some water and your hands or a spray bottle. It'll work even better if you add in a curling cream or a texturizing spray such as one specifically meant for beachy waves that includes sea salt as an ingredient. Or, look up a DIY sea salt spray for the same effect. Once the hair is dry, untie your hair and tousle it with your fingers. (Tousle your hair upside-down, then flip back up again for extra volume!) Scrunch up the hair with your fingers then you can finish off with some hairspray or more texturizer. Voila! Beachy waves that look like Tyra Banks or Lauren Conrad's hair as they wear their fab mint bikinis. Mint is a gorgeous color for a bikini, why is why we would love to wear our hair all pretty and wavy in the Rich Girl Bikini in mint!
Most methods on getting beachy waves include manipulating the hair while its wet into some sort of twist or curl then letting it loose once the waves have set. If you try to search for a way to do heatless waves, you'll come across girls using everything from straws and rolled up magazine paper to curl it, or bobby pins to pin it up into curls. The bobby-pin method works well. With your fingers, simply roll small or medium-sized sections (depending on how big you want your curls) of your dampened hair into a curl, then pin it up with a bobby pin. Your whole head of hair should be pinned up. Once it's dry and it's been a couple of hours, let it loose. The same idea can be done but with a headband! Grab a stretchy headband that goes all the way around the head, put it on and roll sections of your hair up and into the headband. Twist the sections up and around the headband, working from one side of your head to the other, until your hair's off your neck and secured by the headband. You may need bobby pins to secure the hair further. Again, go to sleep or wait many hours until you can let your hair down. Once you've achieved beachy waves, you won't be able to wait to wear an adorable swimsuit like the Strawberry Shortcake bikini. This floral-patterned bikini looks even better with a cute hairstyle like beachy waves. Eva Longoria and Kim Kardashian are always wearing their hair in waves, and they look so darling in their floral suits! Any way you achieve your beachy waves, look amazing wearing your hair wavy in some luxury bikinis!

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
I finally got around to picking this one up, and boy did it surprise me.
I watched and own the original Vampire Hunter D, and thought it was so-so. I honestly expected Bloodlust to be more of the same, and I was pleasantly surprised to find I was very wrong.
Stylistically, the animation and art was similar, but Bloodlust was much better done. While the characters certainly show their source, they were very well done, and the backgrounds were fantastic. Several scenes, including the sand mantas, were really distinctive.
I even like the dubbing on it, and im usually pretty picky about that.
All in all, I was very pleased with it, and I wish I had picked it up sooner, it really was much better than the original.
Anyone else have the same impression?

I liked the original vampire hunter d's story better, this one seemed alittle rehashed, but the animation was much better, of course given the difference in age it's not unexpected. One thing that I did like about bloodlust is that it wasn't cheapened by a useless breast shot like the original was. one thing to keep in mind about bloodlust though is that it's not dubbed from a japanese voice track, it was actually animated to fit an english dialogue, so the voices are much better than what you'll find in many anime dubs.

I don't know I really like Bloodlust alot more. I don't find it to really be a rehash of the old story. I was happy to see that the main female character was not all whiney and all likr "take me D I want you" That really ruined the first one for me. I hated the main female character.

the candle scene in bloodlust i heard took more than a year to make
it had a lot of similar effects to the "X" movie, but the execution of the story was so much better (even if the story was a little cut-and-dry at first and contrived later on)

I was really impressed with the work that went into the background settings compared to the original.
The aqueduct garden especially was very nicely done, downright pretty even.
I agree the ending was a bit staged, but was still well done. It did stay consistant to the characters, and the grandaughter was a nice touch.

Just a question. Does Bloodlust take place after the story of the original? Because for some reason, the grandaughter reminds me of the main female character of the first movie.
I know it's weird, but that's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw her face. Hmmm. I guess have to check the original just to see if I'm not imagining things.

The peer-to-peer file sharing protocol has been around since 2001, and since then, it has managed to gain over 100 million users worldwide. BitTorrent has been used and misused for many purposes including file sharing, distribution releases, government leaks and yes, piracy. Accounting for roughly 43-70 % global Internet traffic, this protocol is one of the most talked-about things on the Internet.
Here at Tech Source, we've already showed you how to use BitTorrent on Linux and for the geeky ones, we've written also written a guide on how to download torrent files using the command line. But now, as we move on to the age of droids and iPhones, many people are looking to replace their desktop with their smartphone.
If you are too cell-savvy to use your desktop for torrents, read on as we cover the best BitTorrent clients for Android. These applications will let you download all the latest torrents without the need to boot up your desktop.
aTorrent is a free BitTorrent software for Android that works across phones as well as tablets. The app features an integrated search bar that lets you find the latest torrent files for download. Other features include Magnet links support, partial downloads, parallel downloading and most importantly, the option to limit downloads to Wi-Fi. Packed with many more features, aTorrent is almost as good as any desktop torrent client albeit with some obvious limitations. One of the most interesting and unique features aTorrent provides is that it allows users to download only while power is connected, thus saving a lot of battery power. aTorrent is freely available for download from the Android marketplace.
aDownloader is a native BitTorrent client for Android with a simple and easy to use interface. Once you download the app, simply long press on any BitTorrent link you come across while browsing, and click on Share. Choose the aDownloader option, and your torrent will start download instantly. This feature makes this app great for folks who regularly download testing iso's of Linux distributions. A great way of putting this feature to use is by subscribing to distrowatch's RSS feeds, and then download the latest distro while on the go. Once your download is finished you can transfer it to your computer, burn it and enjoy the bleeding edge. Among other features, adownloader also supports adding torrent files from SD card. The app is freely available for download from the Android marketplace.
Rutracker Downloader
This is an app meant for pirates as it lets users download movies and music files from various BitTorrent sites. The app features an integrated pirate search that lets users download the latest movies and TV shows without any hassles. Rutracker is a fully functional BitTorrent client designed for Android and is freely available from the marketplace.
Swarm is a lightweight BitTorrent client for Android that is designed to be fast, and easy to use. Sporting a simple interface, this nifty application lets you add/remove new torrents instantly. Just open the torrent file and the downloads start immediately. If you've set your Android to go to sleep, don't worry, as this app also lets you prevent the phone from going to sleep mode. Also, it will let you inhibit your Wi-Fi from going to sleep so that you could keep a download running overnight without any hassles. Swarm is a great application for those who need a no-fuss BitTorrent client that doesn't bog the user down with too many options. Costing around 5 USD, Swarm is available for download from the Android Marketplace.
aBTC from NewFreedomApps is a full-featured BitTorrent client for Android. The app features an in-app search functionality that lets you find content instantly. aBTC also includes support for DHT as well as the ability to download files while sleeping. As compared to other torrent apps, this one hasn't got many good reviews. So, make sure you try out the other ones first.
Some Warnings: Before embarking on a downloading spree, keep the following things in mind -
1. Your phone, even though it may be dual-core, is not a computer. Don't expect the same speeds and functionality from an app as you expect from mu-torrent.
2. Using BitTorrent on the phone will drain your battery like crazy. So, if you're planning on a big download, make sure you plug in your charger beforehand.
3. Don't use BitTorrent when you're not on Wi-Fi. Downloading a 4GB file might take minutes on your 3G network, but it comes at a huge price.
4. Don't download anything illegal unless you're completely aware of the repercussions.

A 50-year-old woman has died from injuries she sustained Monday morning after being struck on Farmer Road in Denton.
A 50-year-old woman has died from injuries she sustained Monday morning after being struck on Farmer Road in Denton.
Chief Mark Hicks of the Denton Police Department said late Monday morning that Mary Sexton of Farmer Road died at Novant Health Thomasville Medical Center. Troopers with the N.C. Highway Patrol were dispatched to a pedestrian being struck on Farmer Road, about one-tenth of a mile from N.C. Highway 109, at 7:55 a.m.
Hicks said a Chevrolet Blazer, driven by 42-year-old Michael Harris of Thomasville, was traveling west on Farmer Road. The chief explained Sexton was walking on the white line of the roadway.
"From what we have gathered so far, the pedestrian stepped in the roadway before he had a chance to swerve," Hicks said. "(Harris) said he saw her walking and (she) stepped in the roadway in front of his vehicle."
Hicks arrived on the scene and assisted paramedics with performing CPR on Sexton. A Davidson County 911 supervisor said Sexton was transported by emergency traffic to TMC. Hicks said Harris was not injured, and Sexton was not too far from her residence when she was struck by the vehicle.
Hicks said the accident involving the pedestrian remains under investigation. He said as of late Monday morning he didn't know if charges would be issued.
Hicks said Denton Police Officer James Cody Fritts was involved in an accident with a pickup truck as he tried to respond to Farmer Road. The chief said Fritts, who has been with the DPD since January 2012, was coming off of Salisbury Street and turning onto N.C. Highway 109 North as a pickup truck was in the inside lane of N.C. 109 traveling south beside of a tractor-trailer. As the 2008 Dodge Charger patrol vehicle was trying to make the turn, a collision occurred. Hicks said his officer was operating the patrol vehicle with lights and sirens on.
First Sgt. B.D. Stalvey of the Highway Patrol said the accident resulted in property damage only and no injuries. He said it appears the patrol car is totaled and the truck had about $6,000 in damage. Stalvey said he is discussing possible charges with the Davidson County District Attorney's Office. The first sergeant said Fritts' vision was hindered by a tractor-trailer and the vehicle also couldn't see the patrol car as well due to the tractor-trailer.

Andrea Mazza's first experience behind the decks was in 1990, when he started DJ'ing in various clubs of his home city. In 1994 he started his career in the radio business. In 2001, thanks to years of experience in the field, he started working at m2o, a newly born radio station that was soon to become the biggest electronic music radio station in Italy, and the most important Italian dance music station worldwide. With his shows, Zero DB and Trance Evolution, Andrea played trance, progressive, techno, offering these sounds to the Italian market. We can call Mazza a true pioneer, as those sounds were very popular in Northern Europe, but still not so diffused in Italy. The results were outstanding and after years of hard work Andrea managed to have the shows by Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk and Above & Beyond syndicated exclusively for Italy on m2o.
In 2004 Andrea released his first track titled "Mazza & Martinelli, Kiss That Sound". The feedback was very good and the track was appreciated in Italy and abroad, receiving support by many world famous DJ's.

I do and I use a small screwdriver ( from a PC tool kit ) to help move the "feet" but not too hard. Sometimes they just need a little nudge. I only take them out when I do a full cleaning and gasket replace...maybe once or twice a year. Otherwise I just run cleaner through them with my keg washer.
I've yet to take the liquid poppet out since I run BLC through, but I'm pretty new at this. I tried once, but it was pretty difficult since I didn't have the right tools for the job, so I gave up. You shouldn't need to take the gas side out, should you?
Brand new kegs are pricey!If you don't already do this, I've found that an initial 30 lbs of pressure will usually seat the lids just fine. If you're carbing at serving temp you can back the pressure down after you seat the lids.I have a few posts that don't like to re-seat when I take the gas off, even with new poppets. These are candidates for the universal poppet next time I get around to it.

Count Data Within Path Models

Structural Equation Modeling
Joerg Luedicke

hi all,
could somebody tell me if MPLUS is able to combine poisson distributed count data variables (independent as well as dependent) and normal distributed variables in one path model with observed variables? many thanks in advance, joerg.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 8:15 am
In path analysis, observed outcome variables can be continuous, censored, binary, ordered categorical (ordinal), counts, or combinations of these variable types. In addition, for path analysis for non-mediating outcomes, observed outcomes variables can be unordered categorical (nominal). Observed independent variables can be binary or continuous.

I have run a path analysis on a longitudinal dataset which combines continuous and count data, treated with Poisson regression and zero-inflated Poisson regression. After comparing a few alternative models, I have choosen the best model (the lowest BIC). Now, I would like to cross-validate this model on a second dataset, but I have 2 doubts:
1) How can I evaluate the goodness of the model for the cross-validation when Poisson regression is involved? I guess that I cannot use the traditional tests of model fits...
2) What is the syntax for the cross-validation? Are there some specific aspects that I should take into account? The syntax for my model follows:
VARIABLE: NAMES ARE y1-y6 u1-u3 x1-x2;
USEVARIABLES ARE y1-y6 u1-u2 x1 x2;
COUNT IS u1;
COUNT IS u2 (i);
y1 on x1 x2;
y2 on x1 y1 u1;
y3 on x1 y1 y2 u2;
y4 on x1 x2;
y5 on y4 x2 u1;
y6 on y4 y5 x2 u2;
u1 on x1 x2;
u2 on x1 x2;
u2#1 on x1 x2;
y1 y2 y3 (3);
y4 y5 y6 (4);

I'm sure there is a cross-validation literature out there. I am not familiar with it.
With count variables, chi-square and related fit statistics are not available. Nested models can be compared using -2 times the loglikelihood difference which is distributed as chi-square.
As far as cross-validation, I would look at the pattern of signficance across the two data sets. You could also do a multiple group analysis.

We are running an SEM model in which we want to use zero inflated poisson regression to predict each of 4 count variable criteria. We have checked each count variable to ensure that each has only integer values. Each time we try to run the analysis, we get an error message saying "There is at least one observation in the data set where a count variable has negative or non-integer values." None of the 4 variables shows anything but 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. We cannot fix it and need help. Thank you.

Dear all, I am now constructing a SEM model with 1 exogenous variable and 1 final endogenous variable . In between there are 5 key mediators (2 latent and 3 observed). The type of my endegenous variable is count. I used AMOS18 but I know I have to do this analysis with MPLUS Is my analysis completly wrong ? or is better to do with mplus? I am new begginer. please help me thank you very much
Linda K. Muthen

You should not treat a count variable as a continuous variable. This will result in improper results.

Is it wrong in SMARTPLS also ?

It would be incorrect if you do not treat the count variable as a count variable. I don't know anything about SMARTPLS so I can't say.

I am running a model in which I have a count predictor (IV), and continuous mediators and outcomes. Can I use COUNT = IV in Mplus, when the predictor is count (and not the DV)? Would it be appropriate to specify a predictor as a count variable?
Thank you so much
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - 8:09 am
The scale of predictors is not taken into account in regression. Only the scale of dependent variables matters. All predictors are treated as continuous variables.
Andy Daniel
posted on Thursday, June 05, 2014 - 4:52 am
Two quick questions: Is there any problem using a count variable as a mediator? If there is no problem, it should also be possible to build a simple markov chain with several count variables measured in different time point, right?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Thursday, June 05, 2014 - 2:12 pm
A count mediator (M) presents a problem as I see it. In the regression
we can specify M as count and do a Poisson regression. But what do we do with M in the regression
Y on M;
? ML estimation in Mplus would treat M as continuous which contradicts the first regression. There is no underlying latent response variable M* for counts so WLSMV and Bayes can't use that approach. I see it as an unresolved research area.
Daniel Forster

I'm trying to perform what I believe is a simple analysis. I have a latent variable predicting a count variable and I want to examine group differences. From what I've seen, I have to use the KNOWNCLASS command, but I can't seem to figure out how to satisfy all of the requirements to get the analysis to run.
This is the model I *want* to run:
USEVARIABLES ARE g2choice ind1-ind3;
GROUPING = GROUP (1 = g1 2 = g2 3 = g3);
COUNT = outcome;
FAC by ind1-ind3;
outcome on FAC;
Could you clarify how I should fix my syntax? Also, with the corrected syntax, will I be able to constrain the ON path across groups to test for differences? I imagine that it won't be quite the same as using the MODEL subgroup commands.
Thank you!
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Monday, January 18, 2016 - 2:36 pm
As an example of using Knownclass, see UG ex 8.8, where cg is the Knownclass group variable. Ignore the c variable. Then add
outcome on
outcome on FAC (p1);
outcome on FAC (p2);
outcome on FAC (p3);
Then you can do any tests you want with p1-p3, for instance test that they are the same using Wald testing in Model Test.
Daniel Forster
posted on Monday, January 18, 2016 - 3:25 pm
Thank you so much! That was very helpful. Also, to clarify for anyone else who may come across this, my previous example had a typo; g2choice should have been 'outcome' in the usevariables command.
My model converged and I just want to be sure I am doing this correctly. Could you verify if I used the CLASS and KNOWNCLASS commands correctly?
USEVARIABLES ARE outcome ind1-ind3;
CLASSES = group(3);
KNOWNCLASS = group (group = 1 group = 2 group = 3);
COUNT = outcome;
FAC by ind1-ind3;
outcome on
outcome on FAC(p1);
outcome on FAC(p2);
outcome on FAC(p3);
I also have a follow-up question. I want to know which group has the strongest association between FAC and OUTCOME. Knowing they are different is obviously the first step. Will that look like...
and will I conclude they are different if the Wald test is significant?
Finally, to test which group has the strongest association, I would typically look at something like R-SQUARE. Is there an equivalent for count variables?
Thank you again for all your help!
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Monday, January 18, 2016 - 5:34 pm
Group should be on the NAMES = list. The latent class name should not be the same as this group variable name.
Mplus does not test for strongest effect, but equality is tested like you mention, although as
0 = p1 - p2;
For counts there is no meaningful R2 of the usual kind.
You want to ask these more syntax-related questions on Support.

Hi all,
i want to run a SEM with two dependent count variables which are zero-inflated and at least five independent continuous variables. So I use the zero-inflated poisson regression as in example 3.8.
If I use more as two independent variables for one dependent count variable, then the Error Message in the output is:
My Questions are:
1.) If possible, how can I transform zero-inflated dependent count variables in continuous (with the poisson assumption)?
2.) Do I need a pc with more power?
3.) In another post with the same error I have read that it�s possible to use the two-part model. But this was in the case of a LGM, so I�m not sure, if this solution also works in my case?
Thank you and best regards,

There is at least one observation in the data set where a count variable

Sounds like there is something off in the input related to data reading. One way to check that your input is correct is to use the Savedata command to see that the analysis variables contain what you expect.
Sarah Arpin
posted on Friday, February 23, 2018 - 4:18 pm
Thank you for your fast response and your suggestion. I checked the input file using the Savedata command and all looks fine. I also opened the file within the Mplus Editor, and deleted the strange character at the beginning of the file, resaved, and still received the same error message. There are no blanks in the file. Do you have any other recommendations?

As said by many a person, Kids on the Slope is stunning in an understated, era appropriate way. The details in the scenery, the near perfect sync with instrument playing: I was blown away. Princess Jellyfish and Baccano along with anything from Studio Ghibli pack both style and substance. Usagi Drop may not be too exciting to look at usually but the water color look was charming. Also, Tokyo Godfathers was beautifully done.
Sunburnning this easily is getting ridiculous.
No one mentioned Gurren Lagann yet! I think it's really impressive because everything is hand drawn (except for the villians in the second half, though this is done on purpose). I really appreciate hand drawn effects over CG. It also was the start of shows having awesome animation. I think the one I saw after that was Soul Eater....
Fate/Zero is also very impressive.
Hyouka, also airing this season, has very amazing production values. The animation and story boarding is amazing.
FMA brotherhood. Love the fight scenes...
Afro Samurai, 5 Centimeters Per Second, Fate/Zero and Eve no Jikan (Time of Eve).
What is Anime?
I am a bit confused by the question in that is it best animation which from my understanding would be fluidity of motion, or best artwork and background/character design? It also seems as if they way in which it is watched would make a huge difference. You cant really compare a high quality blu ray to an internet stream. Both the artwork and animation on the EVA Rebuilds look gorgeous on a quality blu ray player and a high end 1080p display... panasonic plasma being my display of choice (can't afford an Elite.) The Kara no Kyoukai movies are also really good looking, especially the lighting effects as well as particle effects such as the dust in the abandoned buildings drifting in and out of the light. Animation is also nice in them.
Building a turtle fence.
Any Studio Ghibli's film.
Hayao Miyazaki's realistic hand drawn anime is hard to beat even at today's standard.
I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
How animation quality should be judged is very subjective.
Upon reading everyone's post, some people judge quality by pretty picture and while others judge it by fluid motion. Some people judge it by HDTV picture quality.
Since animation is combination of various disciplines of art, I think it's best to judge animation by specific quality. For example:
A. Animation
1. Depiction of life: Do character and FX movements appear realistic or fantastic?
2. Expression of motion: Full of energy & experimentation or stiff & boring?
3. On-model: Are characters look solid and consistent? Do they have crooked face or wrongly proportioned body?
4. Timing: Do speed of animation pleasing to watch or too confusing?
B. Design
1. Are character and/or machine designs appealing enough to stand the test of time?
2. Do background art truly reflect the world that characters live in?
3. Contrast: Can you tell characters apart right away at first glance?
4. Camera angle: Are they static or dynamic?
5. Are background arts fun & imaginative or boring & dull?
6. Do you find character or mecha designs tacky and repetitive?
I could go on with more criteria, but I've written enough.
I decided not to use video quality because there are plenty of well animated titles in DVD and older video formats. Also there are plenty of not-so-well animated shows come out in BD as well.
Instead of judging best animation quality by title, I would rather judge it by specific scene. That's because there are plenty of TV shows with quality animation scenes spread here and there.
Only one mention of Studio Ghibli is not sufficient.
Also where is the love for Bones? Hell, just watch anything they produce and you know it will have very high quality. Of course, if you watch their old stuff it may not be the best now, but for their time they were up there. On another note, of the modern top quality anime, I'd have to name a couple. Hellsing Ultimate was very slick, Eureka Seven: AO, the new Berserk films, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, etc.
You can't seriously expect there to be only a handful. Quality means several things, as Maou mentioned, Miyazaki's films are still made by hand something that is very rare in the modern industry. That is because Miyazaki although it is becoming harder for him, dislikes relying on computer renderings preferring to hand draw everything. He tried it with Princess Mononoke but found he did not like the result, so he chose to stick with more traditional methods. Everything is subjective unless your specific in what terms of quality you mean.
"Rainbow: Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin" is the most amazing anime I've ever seen, trust me.
Katanagatari...simply yet colorful
Best animation quality of all time is over doing it. Anyway, I'd have to say the Clannad series.
I fucking LOVE Anime!

I must add that in terms of quality animation hands down it would be Redline. Its really an accomplishment in anime taking the animators 7 or 8 years to complete as every frame is hand drawn on extreme detail.Your eyes will probably have an organism from all its stunning quality. In terms of TV anime , I think that would belong to K Project due to how detail and fluid the animation is for a regular 13 episode anime

This. It wins. You won't find any anime with better animation than Redline. Those interested should download it.

In the past, clubs were recommended to bring a minimum of 4 kegs. I imagine for someone overseas, they could make an exception.
How many of those did your club go through Denny? Is 30 kegs overkill or is it what you need to survive the thirsty masses?
Our Club had 8 taps at club night. We kicked 1 keg completely at club night (That was the Apple Pie beer that was hugely popular). Overall, I think we poured about 30 gallons or so, but we switched kegs out quite a bit. We did not have the benefit of a big name like Denny though. Although some people asked us where he was; Cascade Brewers Guild vs Cascade Brewers Society and whatnot. We had 20 or so Kegs at NHC, and I think we only fully kicked 4. I fought like hell to kick my keg, because the keg wasn't mine (You can ask Keith about that).
How does a club go about pouring at club night?
So who is the club night organizer?I would probably bring two kegs, or perhaps four if I can strap them together and call them a 'single bag.'. I'm working on a recipe using malt grown in the fields near me, hops grown in the chateau next door and wild yeast collected in october. Then aged on French oak. For those of you who flew with your kegs, did you have to vent them all the way first? Would they keep a seal with no CO2 pressure?We plan on flying in seating class "A," which is discounted first class (1300 per person as opposed to 980 per person for the super cheap seats, which seems like a deal to me) so I would hope that as a first class passenger I'd get a little leeway in what I bring onboard. But I dunno.

LOCATION: 161 Essex Street btwn Houston & Stanton | New York | through December 2005

Review by Sara G. Levin
Published in: The Villager, Volume 75, Number 31, December 21 - 27, New York 2005
In defiance of Mafia influence across Sicily, Italian activist Guido Agnello is promoting legitimate business through a staple of gangster attire called the coppola cloth cap. The hat, also known as the Sicilian beret, was primarily associated with Mafioso rank and file during the twentieth century but has now become a symbol of change for Agnello, who intends to use fashion to fight organized crime.
After opening his first retail store in New York last year, Agnello sent an artist-exclusive collection of coppolas to the Clayton Gallery and Outlaw Art Museum on the Lower East Side. Close to eighty artistic editions, including a zig-zag knit by Missoni, a graffitied cap by Suisse-Marocain, and a neon-green zippered sporty cap by Italian designer Krizia, hang along the gallery walls. There is also a hat made completely from film negatives, a Santa Claus copy, and one that might look plain, but flips over to reveal a European Union patch along the inseam.
The colorful batch of caps is meant to create buzz and awareness about Agnello's cause. To spearhead his community project, Agnello helped form a coppola-making factory, San Giuseppe S.P.A., under the patronage of the United Nations. La Coppola Storta (Sideways Cap), the hat's brand name, employs local sewers, many of whom were previously out of work or in the black market, according to company representative, Monica Saitta.
"San Giuseppe was considered to be one of the worst places of the Mafia," says Saitta, "like Corleone" — a place and family name many are familiar with through the Godfather films. The coppola-style hat was first adopted by Sicilian peasants in the 1800s as a way to imitate the aristocracy, previously the only social group that wore hats. It was then appropriated by Mafiosi at the turn of the century. Saitta says that San Giuseppe S.P.A., both publicly and privately funded, has yet to run into major roadblocks since the wave of outcry against the Mafia during the mid-1990s among legislators, politicians and citizens. Their factory opened in 1999 and held its first show in 2000 with the support of local mayor, Maria Maniscalco.
"I really support this whole concept, I think it's great," said Outlaw Museum owner, Clayton Patterson, who is also showing work by Baldo Diodato alongside the hats. Diodato, an eclectic artist known in Italy for installations, incorporated coppolas within portraits by a famous Sicilian artist, Antonello da Messina. (Incidentally, the original Messina portrait, "The Smile of the Unknown Sailor" is now on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among two others including the "Virgin Annunciate.")
La Coppola Storta may have found a likely partner in Patterson, who himself became well known for designing baseball caps embroidered with skulls in the 1980s. For the coppola exhibit, he fabricated a white-skull version of the Italian beret.
"This cap became a symbol of the Mafia the same way the motorcycle jacket became a symbol of motorcycle gangs," Patterson said. "I can see this company getting big enough, where if they get four or five different styles that start to sell, they will become inaccessible down the pike. But right now they're very accessible." He added that he is looking for New York artists to add to the collection.
With stores in Taormina, Palermo, Rome and Manhattan, the company is looking to expand to Los Angeles and possibly Chicago, said Saitta. Matty Palmer-DeConcini, manager of the La Coppola Storta store on Mott Street, said he and some other North American artists, like Esther Sanchez, designed hats that were also in the show. Palmer-DeConcini, who grew up writing graffiti, said Sanchez is recognizable by her spindly, poppy figures. One of them, a waifish brunette with bulging eyes, decorates the coppolas that Sanchez painted over in a pink army fatigue pattern.
The trendy shop displays styles from traditional berets to fuzzy pink or leopard-prints for adults, children, even puppies. Prices range from around $40 to $130. Customers can also send fabric to the company for them to make a customized hat.
To demonstrate the style of the hats, Palmer-DeConcini shifted a short green-wool brim to the side of his head like a Bronx teenager with a Yankees cap. The sideways tilt, he said, used to be a symbol of how "gangster" someone was. The more the hat was twisted to the side, the more connected the wearer was to organized crime in Sicily, he said.
Godfather bravado aside, La Coppola Storta hopes that New Yorkers will adopt the coppola like the baseball cap — not as a status of crime, but as a symbol of cool.

Deadlocks have received a large amount of coverage—in a wide variety of resources.
Related: Gathering Deadlock Information with Deadlock Graph
As such, the point of this post isn't to call out anything special about debugging, tracking, or correcting deadlocks. Instead, this post is focused on a single concern: raising or triggering email (or other) alerts when a deadlock occurs on a given server—or, in other words, simply being (proactively) alerted every time a deadlock has occurred on one of your servers. In my mind, such an arrangement can be a great thing to implement in situations where you THINK that deadlocks might be happening or where you've heard from a few users that they're occurring and where many of the applications using your servers aren't set up to adequately raise alerts or errors when they encounter deadlocks.
Setting Up Alerts for Deadlocks Should Be Easy
Of course, setting up alerts for deadlocks should be pretty easy, right? All you have to do is go into the SQL Server Agent, set up an alert for Error 1205, set up who to email/alert when it happens, and you're done, right?
Well, unfortunately, setting up alerts for deadlocks isn't that simple. For starters, while Error 1205 is the most common error number associated with a deadlock, Errors 1211 and 3928 are also associated with deadlocks within SQL Server (though Error 3928 is reserved for a particularly nasty/non-typical issue relating to deadlocks). So. There's that issue for starters (i.e., if you want to be thorough, you'll have to set up alerts for all three error numbers.)
Then there's the fact that once you set up an alert for, say, a 1205 error, and then generate a deadlock on your system, the alert won't actually fire.
To test this out, you can do the following:
First, create the alert and set up some sort of response. You can do that by running the following script, for example:
USE msdb GO EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert @name = N'1205 - Deadlock Detected', @message_id = 1205, @severity = 0, @enabled = 1, @delay_between_responses = 0, @include_event_description_in = 1; GO EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_notification @alert_name = N'1205 - Deadlock Detected', @operator_name = N'General', -- name of profile here @notification_method = 1; GO
Or you can do this by creating a new alert from within SQL Server Management Studio, as the following three screenshots indicate:
Then, once you've got the alerts set up, you can easily create a deadlock on your server by creating two simple tables (in a test/meddling database somewhere) :
IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.TableA','U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE dbo.TableA GO CREATE TABLE dbo.TableA ( TableAId int, TableAValue varchar(20) ); GO IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.TableB','U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE dbo.TableB GO CREATE TABLE dbo.TableB ( TableBId int, TableBValue varchar(20) ); GO INSERT INTO TableA SELECT 1, 'TableA'; INSERT INTO TableB SELECT 1, 'TableB'; GO
Then, with these bogus tables created, you'll have to open up TWO different query windows (which I'll call Window 1 and Window 2).
In Window 1 paste and run the following:
BEGIN TRAN; UPDATE dbo.TableA SET TableAValue = 'blah' WHERE TableAId = 1;
And in Window 2 paste and run this:
BEGIN TRAN; UPDATE dbo.TableB SET TableBValue = 'blah' WHERE TableBId = 1;
At this point you've got both tables A and B blocked—by two different threads. To create a deadlock, all you need to do is have both of these threads try to 'reach over' and grab the resource that their opposite thread has already locked.
So, paste the following into Window 1, and run (just) it:
UPDATE dbo.TableB SET TableBValue = 'blah' WHERE TableBId = 1;
And you'll see that it doesn't complete—or that the query stays as 'Executing….'
Now, paste the following into Window 2, and execute (just) it as well:
UPDATE dbo.TableA SET TableAValue 'blah' WHERE TableAId = 1;
Then, within about 5 seconds, one of the windows will be picked as the deadlock victim, raise a 1205, and the other will complete without any hint of a problem.
And, now, for good measure: go run a ROLLBACK command in the window that didn't get picked as the deadlock victim – to clear your long-running transaction.
Then either go check your email or look at the Properties > History of the 1205 Alert you just created and note that you didn't get an email and that the History tab shows that your alert has never fired—even though you JUST raised a 1205 error on the Server. And, the crazy thing is that you'll find plenty of people complaining about this particular issue in various forums all over the internet. The interesting thing is though, that in all the forum posts I came across not one had an answer that actually solved the problem of why these alerts won't raise or get sent when they happen.
Writing 1205 Errors to the Log—Trace Flags Maybe?
After struggling a bit on my own with this problem (i.e., why my servers wouldn't send alerts on Error 1205) and after making a few passes at various forum posts online, I finally came to the conclusion that the issue with 1205 errors is that they're not logged. Stated differently, when these errors do occur on a given SQL Server, NOTHING within SQL Server writes the fact that they occurred out to the log. And, since the log doesn't get written to, the Alert (for 1205s, for example) can't ever be triggered or raised.
Sadly, a couple of forum posts I found online made incorrect mention to needing to have TRACEFLAG 3604 and/or 3605 enabled—which is just plain bad advice. A few others mentioned the need to turn on Trace Flags 1204 and 1222. That's not bad advice, per se, but it also doesn't solve the problem of raising alerts when deadlocks occur. (That said, if you're interested in having SQL Server drop verbose logging information into the logs whenever a deadlock occurs, then I recommend taking a peek at this tutorial over on MSSQLTips.)
Truth is, trace flags are NOT the answer here. Yes, many trace flags can/will control what gets logged under various circumstances, but to really solve this problem you have to think a bit about how SQL Server actually raises and manages errors. (Or, at least, that's that I had to do to solve this problem.) And since SQL Server can be run, natively, in a bunch of different languages and since there are a ton of different messages (or specific errors that it can raise), that's where master.sys.messages comes into play—as it's the internal table that SQL Server uses both for 'out of the box' error messages and any custom error messages you may have deployed to your server.
And, as it stands, there's a column in sys.messages that determines (or controls) whether or not a given error is LOGGED when it occurs or not: is_event_logged. So, logically speaking, if you want to be able to raise events on Error 1205 (for example), you just need to toggle the is_event_logged flag to true (or 1) for all 1205 messages. And while changing any default/out-of-the-box behavior for SQL Server is something I always think good-and-hard about doing each and every time I do it, there's (in fact) an easy way to make these changes: sp_altermessage. (And, just so we're clear: using sp_altermessage isn't quite as vile as something like ad-hoc system updates, but it's easily something we could consider close to a 'gateway' script—so I'm not advocating careless use of this functionality.)
So, for example, to modify 1205 errors, you'd just run the following:
EXEC master..sp_altermessage 1205, 'WITH_LOG', true; GO
Then, once that's done (and you've modified 1211 and/or 3928 messages IF you want to), then you can go ahead and re-run the deadlock test defined above (and remember to ROLLBACK or COMMIT your non-victimized thread when you're done), you'll see that your custom 1205 alert fires like it should.

the combinationWednesday, September 03, 2008
Yep. It is that time of year again. When I start thinking about the sweaters to make for my kids for the Christmas card photo. Last year was perhaps the last year. My mother gives me that look like....are you sure you want to put Charlie (who is soon to be thirteen....yikes) in a sweater handmade by his mommy...look. And maybe last year should have been the last year. But I can't seem to let it go. I have been doing it for eleven years....it is just sort of part of us now. The problem is, patterns for that age group are just so hard to find.
I found the yarn I want to use. And it is so lovely! All tweedy, and cool, yes? I plan on using the light grey for Andrew. The charcoal grey for Charlie. And I am thinking vests. Tweedy, cool vests. Yes?
I couldn't find a pattern for Libby either. So I pulled a couple combinations together.

I am so excited about your Christmas sweaters, you must not give up this tradition. I think it is wonderful idea. Even if it does begin to drive them crazy when they are older, I think they will still cherish the fact that you do this.ReplyDelete
I love your sweater ideas for Libby, I keep going back to that Mini-Boden one too.
Those are great yarn colors. I say don't give up the tradition. When they grow up and move out then maybe but until then, keep knitting :)!ReplyDelete
I think if your children still sit for the photo, they most definitely will do the handmade-with-love sweaters. The colors you've selected are also very "mature." And, guys do wear sweaters, after all, don't they? Mine doesn't anymore, but it's never really cold enough here. My sister did knit him a hat a couple of years ago, gave it to him as a joke because it was her first and didn't exactly come out "normal." He used it hunting and loved it, said it was the warmest hat he ever had. Follow your maternal and feminine instincts. Your children will remember all these moments fondly for years to come. And I can't wait to see your daughter's, designed by you!ReplyDelete
you better be writing that pattern down as you go. i'm so serious because there are two mini boden sweaters that the girls want...ReplyDelete
You should keep up the tradition ...last year's sweaters were so lovely, and I don't think children are ever too old for hand knit sweaters! I'm a college student and have a friend who wore the Cobblestone sweater his mom made him around campus all last winter! And I still love when my mom makes me knitted things! Good luck .. the colors you've chosen are just lovely!ReplyDelete
I just cast on for sweaters for my boys this morning. And last year I made Cobblestones, too. Great minds think alike, as my grandmother always said. I must confess, though, every year I question myself on this. Last year I didn't get them done in time to take pictures outside. This year I had the yarn before Labor Day, but it was 50 degrees this morning - did I mess up again? Ach! Next year I'm casting on in July...ReplyDelete
Have you seen Dr G's Memory Vest? http://throughtheloops.typepad.com/designs/2008/05/dr-gs-memory-ve.htmlReplyDelete
I am knitting it for my dad now and it seems like it could be easily adapted for a smaller body. Coupled with the Mini Boden sweater that we all have our eye on (please consider sharing your pattern notes!), I think you'd have a very stylish trio!
Oh, these will be wonderful! Years from now the kids will fondly say at Christmas...remember when mom made us wear....! ;)ReplyDelete
traditions are needed in families,especially at ChristmasReplyDelete
Awww, what a cute idea! I like your selection.ReplyDelete
Oh I sincerely hope you continue to knit your kids sweaters for your Christmas card... and I don't care what age they are, they should indulge you and wear them, even if only for the photo shoot! But as nice as you knit I would think even your teenage son would be proud to wear a sweater his mom knit. I can't wait to see how they turn out.ReplyDelete
I cannot wait to see your christmas sweaters this year. the colors are sooooooo fabulous. last year's sweaters blew me out of the water. so I can't wait to see this round. the sketch for Libby's looks outstanding.ReplyDelete
This is the most wonderful tradition--I can't wait to see how this year's sweaters turn out. Beautiful, I'm sure:)ReplyDelete
Oh Leslie I just KNEW you were a Mini-Boden kinda gal:) (me too!)ReplyDelete
- Molly (lifeonflower)9/03/2008
well, I wasn't fortunate enough to be aware of your blog last year, Leslie ... but let me just say this: those sweaters are top notch. Anything similar in J Crew (if you could find it) would be absolutely fitting on a young boy your son's age. I can't imagine they are too old for it. Of course, I can't imagine ever being to old to wear something so perfectly handsome. carry on!ReplyDelete
I'm excited to see that you are going to do the 'sweater card' photo again! I think it's a great idea. Milk it as long as you can! :D Love the yarn and excited to see you 'vision' for Libby come off the needles - it looks like it's going to be great!ReplyDelete
I'm sad to see summer end but I truly love fall! Bring it on! The best time of year to knit if you ask me
- TD wool design9/04/2008
these will be great! i'm sure the kids will sit for you just fine, though i'd like to see the pics along the waythough ...i'm sure i'd get all kinds of faces! i usually get one out of twenty shots that is usable. attitude somehow manages to slip in! but that began around 16 :)ReplyDelete
a photo like yours will be treasured down the road!
Don't give it up! The sweaters you make are beautiful, and what a wonderful tradition!ReplyDelete
The sweaters/vests will be gorgeous -- I doubt they'll ever outgrow your sweaters (although they might claim they have, occasionally). You might have to switch to finer gauges as they get older. As they age, you should keep Jamesey from Knitty in mind. :)ReplyDelete
- Anonymous9/04/2008
Are you joking? You make some of the most gorgeous, useable, yummy looking Christmas sweaters. Your kids will adore you someday for this huge labor of love EVERY YEAR! What a SuperMom. Don't give up now - you're entering some great years of sweaters & vests.ReplyDelete
Great combinaton of patterns & yarns. I can't wait to see the photos.
You're doing a super job - keep up the good work!
Well because my name is Libby, I can say with full assurance that your calculation is exactly right! That sweater does = Libby! It's gonna be great!ReplyDelete
I like the idea, though I'm not sure I'd do it myself (I'm much more likely to make everyone socks and just send pictures of feet for the holiday card).ReplyDelete
Yummy tweed yarn!
Love the vests idea! Keep the tradition going. It's a beautiful thing:)ReplyDelete
What a wonderful tradition! Vests sounds like a great idea - love the yarn you have selected - just gorgeous!!ReplyDelete
The tweed yarn looks beautiful and should make the vests look very grown up. I am sure your son will still wear them, otherwise he might feel left out if you didnt knit him one. I still knit my 14 year old son sweaters, perhaps 1 a year and if he doesnt wear them then someone else will. I cannot wait to see how they all turn out.ReplyDelete
Oh I am so excited! I think it is just the coolest that you do this every year and the sweaters are always beautiful and perfect for all of your kids, not cheesy or tacky or 'one-of-those-sweaters-your-mommy-knit-you-for-the-x-mas-card' at all! I love it, love the vest idea too!ReplyDelete
- jeannr10/10/2008
I want to be Libby! i have been searching all over for that exact sweater, some are too wide, some too short, too much yolk...yours is PERFCT!ReplyDelete

gamrReview: "This already splendid title has improved even further for its appearance on Sony's new handheld and is now the definitive version of Persona 4 to own. If you don't own a Vita but like RPGs, your reason for purchasing a Vita has arrived. Enjoy."
I have this game pre-ordered. I don't even own a Vita yet. xD
I don't see why I'd buy a Vita for a game I've already played...
Sure, extra content is good and all, but worth buying a $250 handheld for it? Hardly.
So far every review has been over 9 so that means that reviewers have yet to feel the wrath of Teddy :) That is both good & unfortunate at the same time.
Like i said in the other review threads, Persona 4 was a masterpiece when it was released on the PS2. There is absolutely no way that the game is not a masterpiece on the Vita as well.
[email protected]
I too have played and own a copy of Persona 4 for the PS2, but I know for a fact after countless reports this past year, thet Persona 4: The Golden is an Improved version of Persona 4 and with hours of additional content compared to Persona 4, So no! you have not played Persona 4: the Golden before!
If you you really think this is the only game for the PSVITA worth getting, then you are sadly mistaken.

I'm at the facility and expect to live blog practice so head on over to the comments section starting around 11:05 to check out what's going on.
I can say this early on:
I cannot believe what I've already heard this morning. No, not about the Kyle Orton trade or Reggie Bush or Mike Pouncey's contract status.
It's the words of owner Stephen Ross. This is what he said, in part, during his meeting with the media moments ago:
""There's a fine line between winning and losing. There's three games we could have won for sure and then there's Pittsburgh, which we all think we won and then look at what our record is. The Jets squeezed by and got a few lucky wins as well. The thing is winning and knowing how to win at the end of the game. That's what's important. Our record doesn't show that's what we do. But you can't say these are teams that are much better than we are and we're really a lagger to them ... You can't draw a fine line and say this team is that much better because they're not. There's a lot of parity in the NFL and we have a lot of great young players. Look how far we've come in a short period of time."
Um, note to Mr. Ross:
The Patriots were 14-2 last year.
The Jets went to the AFC championship game for the second year in a row.
And the Dolphins didn't lag behind?

This section will tell you how to manually update/fix your portage installation
in case you can't run
The first step to do is to get the tarball of a current portage version. In the
following text we will use
Depending on the exact reason portage doesn't work for you anymore it may still
be possible to use it to fetch the tarball for you, so as a first step please
try to run
# wget -P /usr/portage/distfiles http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/portage-2.1.8.tar.bz2
After that you should have the tarball available as
The next step is to unpack the tarball to a temporary location, using
# cd /root # mkdir portage-recover # cd portage-recover # tar xfj /usr/portage/distfiles/portage-2.1.8.tar.bz2
