It's week 2 of the one week challenge and I've done a little bit of sprucing and a whole lot of thinking.
First let's talk about the sprucing. I've collected a few plants and scattered them about the house. It's already starting to feel a bit more lush and lived in. A tall ornamental palm tree takes up some space in the corner and adds a little natural greenery. as well as a few smaller potted plants that I've scattered around the room. The room is really sunny and so far the plants seem to love the spot.
Second, my mom has been rearranging her house and (temporarily) loaning out some pieces of furniture. The console that you can see peaking out from behind the sofa I snagged maglie calcio poco prezzo from her before anyone else could. It fits great behind the couch, fills up the wall space, adds a little extra storage while still providing ample space behind the couch to get to the door.
Then I got to thinking and have been really standing back and trying to figure out what's still needed in the room, what's not working and how I want it all to come together. Here's what I've come up with:
- The coffee table is definitely too long for the space. I've been trying to find a really great new one but I'm struggle with finding something I love at a reasonable price.
- Not sure I'm in love with the white curtains. They hide a gigantic wall AC unit that has to stay for now but I we need some color or pattern on the wall.
- I've been drooling over black windows for the longest time and I think painting out the window frame black would add a lot of interest.
- The secretary is great but I might be ready to move away from the very traditional feel of the piece and maybe go with a large scale piece of art in its place.
- The indigo velvet fabric I ordered came and it's to die for. I can't wait to replace the striped pillows with velvet ones for the fall.
Finally here are some of the latest rooms that have me turning my head and drawing inspiration from.
Click here if you want to start at the beginning and a special thanks to Linda from Calling it Home for setting up the One Room Challenge.

Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto: Number of Hotel Rooms to Rise 38% by 2020
Hotel Room Shortage Remains in Tokyo's 23 Wards
Little Risk of Oversupply in Osaka and Kyoto
- Hotel development has been boosted by growing inbound tourism and rising average daily room rates. In the three major markets - Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto - the number of hotel rooms is expected to increase by 38% between 2017 and 2020.
- The hotel market reached a turning point at the start of 2017. Revenue per available room (RevPAR) growth in the eight major cities had slowed down since 2016 and turned negative in Osaka in February 2017. This was due to the rapid rise in room rates, an increase in new supply, and a greater variety of lodging options, including vacation rentals and hostels.
- Tokyo is forecast to remain tightly supplied, with a shortfall of around 3,500 rooms. Although Osaka and Kyoto will see the addition of more rooms than what was estimated to be needed, the new supply is likely to stimulate latent demand or recover demand which to date had been lost to other areas.
- New supply is skewed towards limited service hotels, which would account for more than 90% of new supply in the eight major cities. Of these limited-service hotels, at least 50% will be business hotels.

ESSAY- Blue Bird: Have we lived up to our early potential?
There's something you should know about me: I was in the Blue Bird reading group in Mrs. Prolman's first grade class.
Impressed? You should be.
And every morning, we would drag our little wooden chairs to the front of the class to assemble our group. Ah, the Blue Birds– we were the kids who could sail through sentences at these read-aloud sessions, reciting, "Run, Puff, run!" with speed and enviable expression.
Later in the day, when I was supposed to be laboring in my Think and Do workbook, I'd be distracted by the halting performance of the Red Birds and, later, the dismal recitation of the slowest reading group of all, the Green Birds, who, as Halloween approached, were still struggling over, "Look, look!"
This is my earliest memory of the community of kids who would one day comprise the Wilmington High School class of 1970, in Wilmington, Massachusetts.
The classmates I knew in first grade were the same people– plus many more– that I graduated with: kids I sang My Country 'Tis of Thee with in second grade, kids I would count off with "one potato, two potato" at recess to see who would be "it," girls I Watusied with at high school dances because the boys wouldn't ask us to dance. Some 240 in our class.
And, just this past week, I discovered that nearly ten percent of my classmates are now dead.
I know this because I'm planning the 40th reunion, and this is the kind of information you find in the course of tracking people down.
Plus, you find out what people have done with their lives.
As we communally approach the outer limits of middle age, the temptation to sum up our lives is strong, especially when evidence is mounting that we won't actually live forever. What have I made of myself? Have I lived up to the early promise of my Blue Bird affiliation?
While mulling this over several days ago, I heard an interview on NPR with Rabbi Harold Kushner, the author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People and the more recent, Overcoming Life's Disappointments.
In the interview, Rabbi Kushner said that, as we look back on our lives, we ponder what we have yet to accomplish– and what we may never accomplish. The question for each of us is: Does this lack of completion equal failure? And if it does, what then?
Rabbi Kushner said, "The difference between a person who has a happy old age and the person who has an unhappy old age is not how successful they were, but it's how much the things they failed at continue to gnaw at them. And no matter what you've achieved, if you're not able to still that little voice of disappointment, you are never going to be happy."
Hm. True. I think of Elvis and how disappointed he was at not being a movie star. And Arthur Miller reported that his marriage to Marilyn Monroe broke up because he just couldn't take her insecurity anymore. She never felt that she was pretty enough.
And if Elvis and Marilyn didn't think they measured up, what hope is there for the rest of us?
In my reunion research, I've discovered that one of our classmates has become the president of a university, and another holds multiple patents for his innovations in the field of hydrogen-powered vehicles.
It's enough to make me feel like the tiniest of small potatoes, with a résumé that consists of having raised three kids and writing essays like this one. I want to slap my forehead and say, "Oh, man– I forgot to get a career!"
Then I remind myself that these are the people I grew up with.
Together, we sang and played and danced. If the truth be told, I don't care so much about what we've been doing for the past forty years; I care about what we've been being. Are we open-hearted and generous as we go about whatever it is we do, or are we fearful and selfish?
That's one way to silence that "little voice of disappointment": direct our attention elsewhere.
So, when I'm tempted– as I am nearly every day– to reevaluate myself as unworthy of the Blue Bird designation (and, if the truth be told, my average performance in the adult world is barely up to Green Bird standards), I can remind myself to pay attention, instead, to how people around me are affected by whatever it is I happen to be doing.
Just a few weeks from now, the WHS class of 1970 will reunite for one evening. Once again, we will sing and play; and, by God, we will dance.
Free Union resident Janis Jaquith often finds that her essays have been picked up for audio broadcast on area public radio stations.

Way to go Janis! This is the same fabulous person who made me smile and laugh, how many years ago?
Unfortunatly, because I moved to town in the seventh grade, I don't have the "Blue Bird" or "Green Bird" memories. I would have hoped that if I were there, I would have at least been with the "Red Birds"!
And yes, I will be dancing with you!!
Time to write another book Janis! It astounds me how much you remember. I had completely forgotten about the reading groups. And I can't believe we must have been in almost every class together and Brownies too! I'm sure we will see shortly that all of us WHS Class of 70 alum have become "worthy" and do have a positive effect on those lives we touch! (PS: I have a large collection of Dick and Jane memorabilia.)
Well, I was feeling like I really haven't accomplished very much with my life, but after reading your essay, Janis, I feel better. I married my high school sweetheart,
raised three great kids, and kept a decent job for thirty years. Yes I would have liked more excitement, but I am hoping that is still to come! I was part of a great bookclub group, sang in a choir, and have no regrets. Looking forward to seeing all of you.
I was in the lowest reading group!! I have had a very exciting and interesting life. I have loved and lost and loved again. I remain a very happy contented person. I have raised two wonderful, intelligent, interesting, young adults. I have had a wonderful life and don't regret anything that I have done. Family and good health, have been my blessings, I'm going with that! Christine and Kenny are still together!!! Fantastic, life is good! I am proud to be apart of such a great group of achievers!! Go Wildcats!! Kerry's Valedictorian speech has held true!
Hi Janis,
Patty Gardner Fitzpatrick here. Just read your column. I still remember the Dick and Jane readers we all used. It's fun to remember things we did when we were kids.
Well I have been teaching off and on for the last 25 years. Presently I'm teaching at Matignon High School in Cambridge, MA...French, Spanish and most recently English as a Second Language. I just become a grandmother and really would like to retire and be available for the baby. He's so darn cute! I hope to see you all at the reunion. By the way, I live in Andover and would not mind having some of the classmates at my house that weekend.
You should not discount the wonderful things you have done with your life. You have followed your dreams and look where you are. You have a beautiful home and an even more beautiful family. I admire who you have become and proud that you were and are my friend. Can't wait to see you and the rest of the WHS class of 1970.

As well as being capable of extreme virtuosity the flute can create beautiful sustained melodies. It also blends perfectly with all instruments and spends much of its time providing background colour to foreground activity elsewhere in the orchestra.
The flute is the highest pitched instrument of the woodwind section. In Bach's time, back in the 18th century, recorders were used in the orchestra but gradually the brighter tone and increased power of the 'transverse flutes' replaced the recorder. In the 19th century flute technique really took off with the invention of the Bohem System, which is the set of metal keys and pads that cover the surface of the flute and enable far more complicated music to be played than was previously possible.
There are several flutes in common use in the orchestra: the C flute, the piccolo, the alto flute (in G) and sometimes the bass flute. Old flutes were made of wood, but most modern flutes are metal. Piccolos, on the other hand, are mostly made of wood to this day.
The modern, western concert flute is an instrument that has grown in design and stature over the last 200 years. It consists of three metallic sections, the head joint, the body and the foot joint, each of which is important in designating the functionality of the flute as a whole.
The flute's range covers three octaves. As with most woodwind instruments the range also divides into three different registers. Its lowest note is Middle C on the piano or sometimes the B just below if the player has a longer foot joint. The flute does not transpose - the music sounds as written.
The piccolo transposes by an octave - the music sounds an octave higher than written.

The Lipscomb softball team weathered mother nature this weekend by defeating Appalachian State, 3-0 on Sunday to go 2-0 at a rain-shortened Lady Bison Classic this weekend.
Mollie Mitchell drove in two runs, including a solo opposite field home run and Whitney Kiihnl shutout the Mountaineers' lineup for the Lady Bisons second win in three days on 35-degree afternoon at Draper Diamond.
"I was much more pleased with the way we played today than on Friday," head coach Kristin Ryman said. "We got a few key hits in timely situations today and overall I thought we had a lot more quality at-bats today than we did on Friday."
"It feels good to get two quality wins this weekend over some scrappy teams. Anytime you win a couple of games in a row you build momentum and confidence and I hope we take this into next week."
The Lady Bisons (7-8) got on the scoreboard first Sunday when they plated two runs on three hits in the bottom of the third. Mackenzie Tucker led-off the inning with a single and then advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Kiihnl. With one on and one out, Bre Thurman laced an RBI-single up the middle to score Tucker from second, giving Lipscomb a 1-0 lead. After Thurman advanced to second on a throwing error by Appalachian State, Mitchell lined an RBI-single to center, scoring Thurman.
Lipscomb put the pressure on APSU again in the fourth when they had bases loaded and Courtney Billington laced a ball down the left-field line that was ruled foul by a couple of inches before striking out to end the threat.
Lipscomb continued to lead 2-0 until Mitchell connected on a one-out opposite field home run to give the Lady Bisons a 3-0 lead. The home run was Mitchell's second of the year and team's ninth.
From there it was all Kiihnl, who retired seven of the last nine outs herself via strikeout.
Kiihnl scattered four hits while walking three to go along with 11 strikeouts in the complete game shutout victory. Sunday's performance marked the second straight game where Kiihnl had at least 10 strikeouts. She retired 14 batters via strikeout in a Friday's 2-0 win over Butler.
"Any time Whitney is on the mound for us she gives us a great chance to win," Ryman said. "It was good to get two runs in the bottom of the third inning today to try to take some of the pressure off her.""She tends to get stronger as the game goes along because she is such a great competitor.""
In two games this weekend, Kiihnl struck out 25 batters in two, seven-inning shutout performances. The junior (7-4, 0.73 ERA) now has 115 strikeouts in 76.1 innings.
The Lady Bison Classic Tournament was shortened to five games due to the large amounts of rainfall in the Middle Tennessee area on Saturday. Lipscomb went 2-0 while Eastern Illinois, Appalachian State and Butler all went 1-1.
"It would have been nice to play a couple more games this weekend but we can't control mother nature," Ryman added. "I thought we handled everything the best we could with what we were dealt."
The Lady Bisons will travel south to Birmingham, Ala., on Tuesday (Mar. 8) for a doubleheader with the UAB Blazers. Game one of Tuesday's doubleheader will start at 4 p.m.
Lipscomb will return home to the friendly confines of Draper Diamond on Thursday (Mar. 10) when they host Austin Peay in a doubleheader, starting 3 p.m.

Site last updated: 26.1.18
Jay was born in California, but his family left the United States for Europe when he was a child. As a legacy of his itinerant childhood, he is English/French bilingual, and no slouch in Spanish and German, either. People meeting him in 'real life' are surprised that he sounds more English than American – but so would you if you'd lived in Europe for 50-odd years (some of them very odd indeed). This doesn't, however, prevent most casting agents from insisting that he play Americans – which he does happily and, not entirely surprisingly, like a native.
He's probably best known today for his two appearances as John Kieffer – the US Army officer and friend of Christopher Foyle – in Foyle's War, but in his varied career he has danced with the legendary Zizi Jeanmaire at Le Casino de Paris, played almost every male role in The Rocky Horror Show in the early 1970s (given half a chance, he'd probably have had a crack at the female ones, too …) and has appeared frequently on stage in both straight drama and musical theatre.
Recent theatre roles have included Bill Wilson, Co-Founder of Alcoholics Anonymous in a new play for the Outside Edge Theatre Company – One Day At A Time, David critic in Steven Berkoff's An Actor's Lament, and Archie Bellows in The Trial of Jane Fonda, opposite Anne Archer.
In 2015 he started rehearsing Corpse a new play by Steven Berkoff, in which he plays theatre legend Ralph Richardson.
He's also been seen and heard regularly on film and TV. Apart from his Foyle's War appearances, he's provided the voice for Shiro Hagen in the cult Saturday morning science fiction show Star Fleet X-Bomber; played escapologist Alan Kalanak in the Jonathan Creek Christmas Special Satan's Chimney; was Frank Crowe, Superintending Engineer on the Hoover Dam, in the BBC's award-winning documentary series Seven Wonders of the Industrial World, the obnoxious Yves Houdet in Andrew Davies' superb adaptation of Angus Wilson's Anglo Saxon Attitudes and, perhaps most notably, was third lead in Vicente Aranda's beautiful 2003 adaptation of Prosper Mérimée's novella Carmen. More recent appearances have been as Judge John Jones in Nova's award-winning Judgement Day: Intelligent design on Trial and – for a change – two Englishmen: Lord Melbourne in Channel 4's Queen Victoria's Men, the Master of Jesus College, Cambridge, in David Hare's thriller Page Eight. Most recently he played Colonel Dickford in Moonwalkers and Judge Kraner in the BBC political thriller series Undercover.
When not in front of the camera, he and his partner run Sync or Swim, providing post-production ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) services to the film and television industry. Recent projects have included Downton Abbey, Dickensian, Call the Midwife and Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands.
In addition, his voice can be heard on video games, documentaries and TV and radio adverts, as well as in innumerable lifts, theatre foyers and other public spaces. The irritatingly soothing voice requesting that you take your seat and switch off your mobile phone is quite probably him: so now you know who to blame.

New Policy
Major Revision of Existing Policy
Minor/Technical Revision of Existing Policy
Reaffirmation of Existing Policy
Repealed Policy
The University's master plan identifies four (4) lots of approximately one acre each for construction and occupancy by student religious centers. Any such center occupying a lot will be constructed, financed and operated by a faith-based organization that enters into a sublease with the University for a term not exceeding the term of the University's underlying lease with the State of Florida ("Sublessee"). This regulation sets forth the broad framework for the identification and approval of Sublessees, the use of campus lots by Sublessees and the terms of subleases.
The University welcomes onto its campus and registers as campus organizations faith-based groups without regard to differences in religious creed. Over many years, on-campus spiritual and religious centers of many creeds have served colleges and universities and their students by providing students, particularly students residing on campus, with the enhanced access to campus-based spiritual and religious activities centers can provide. In order to provide such access, the University has designated an area of its campus for the construction, lease and operation of four (4) centers on four (4) separate lots.
A center on the University's campus ("Center") is not intended to serve as a house of worship for the community at large. A Center is intended to serve exclusively members of the University community. Without the prior written consent of the University, only the Sublessee which originally subleases the campus lot may operate a Center on such lot. No assignment or subletting of any lot by a Sublessee will be permitted without University consent.
All costs of constructing, maintaining and operating a center will be borne by the Sublessee. Lump sum rent for the entire Sublease term and a security deposit shall be paid by each Sublessee at the commencement of its Sublease. A portion of such lump sum rent shall be used toward financing the construction and maintenance of a non-denominational sanctuary to be constructed and dedicated to use by any and all members of the University community.
The terms of the subleases will be substantially consistent, and lump sum rent shall be equal among subleases. The University will approve the location, design and construction of each Center. The University will require that each Sublessee complies with the terms of its sublease, including without limitation its obligation to maintain its Center in the prescribed condition. The University will enforce a Sublessee's compliance with its sublease in accordance with the University's rights under the sublease.
Recognizing the University's commitment to coordination among faith-based organizations and open dialogue, each Sublessee shall agree to maintain membership and actively participate in the University-recognized interfaith council. When approving the location, design and construction of a Center, the University will take into consideration configurations that augment interaction among Centers.
Each Sublessee will agree to comply with all University regulations and policies, including without limitation the University's nondiscrimination and alcohol use policies. The Sublessee will be obligated to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, rules and regulations.
In selecting Sublessees, the University will publish a notice inviting faith-based organizations in the greater Jacksonville community to submit proposals. The University's invitation will remain open until subleases for the four (4) Centers have been executed.
The selection of Sublessees is within the sole discretion of the University. The University will reject the proposal of any organization not properly organized or not in full compliance with applicable law, regulation and policy. The University will consider the following factors in making its selection:
a proposer's fiscal strength,
the degree to which a proposer's selection would augment diversity of creed among Centers,
a demonstrated student interest in such a center.

The Madrid Mathematical Academy (Academia de Matemáticas de Madrid) was founded in 1582 (some sources give the date 1575) by Phillip II of Spain. Its main work consisted of navigation, architecture and engineering, with experts in these areas working for the King. The Academy, which ceased to exist in 1625, is examined in detail in [1].
The Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences of 1847 was largely due to Jorge Juan y Santacilia (1713-1773) who was an expert on navigation. He held weekly sessions in his home in Cádiz discussing mostly military and navigational affairs. It was Jorge Juan who drew up a detailed plan for the constitution and by-laws of the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences (see [2] for details). The Royal decree, setting up the Academy, is dated 25 February 1847.
The foundation decree states:-
... the Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences so strongly influence the industry and prosperity of nations, but, unfortunately, they did not occupy the pre-eminent position in our old system of education that should be their right.It explains that experts do not work most profitably in isolation but:-
... it is necessary that leading experts meet to confer with each other, to communicate their observations, to give mutual help and, finally, to establish extensive correspondence with other leading experts and major Academies in the world, in order that this immense range of ideas and discoveries spreads knowledge and increases the treasures of science.There is then an interesting reference to the earlier Madrid Mathematics Academy that we mentioned above:-
Several times Spain tried to follow such praiseworthy examples, and our nation even went ahead of all the rest, since from the year 1580, that is to say, long before the famous Societies of Paris and London were established, already in Madrid there existed a Royal Academy of Sciences .... It had, nevertheless, a very ephemeral existence, being extinguished by the Austrian dynasty, and no memory of it has remained.The Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences was explicitly declared to be the equal of the other Spanish Academies of History and San Fernando. It also formally closed the Academy of Natural Sciences of Madrid. The Academy was set up with 36 members and given the power to elect future members. The newly formed Academy was asked to draw up its own statutes and it did so having them approved by Royal Order on 23 December 1847.
Today the Academy consists of 54 full members, 90 national members, and a number of foreign members. The Academy publishes a number of important journals, for example the mathematics journal Memorias de la Real Academia de Ciencias Exactas, Fisicas y Naturales de Madrid.

One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.

Artis: The Guardian
Today we meet the first male of the bunch. This is 53 year old Computer Engineer Artis Silvester and he hails from the great state of Louisiana. Artis has beat Stage 4 cancer and longingly pines for his ex-wife hoping they'll get back together. Ummm *looks around the room* that's a little awkward in my coffee that I didn't expect. *fidgets with a pillow tassel until the awkward passes*
Let's see what else we can find out about Artis that isn't so cringe worthy and weird. Oh look, he believes in angels. *flutter flutter* Artis believes that he has a guardian angel looking over him. Artis himself is definitely no angel, but he says his guardian angel is a total angel. Angelic and whatnot. He's excited to actually be in the game this time around because he is sick of sitting at home on the couch yelling at the screen. You know what, Artis? Me too!
Other than talking to angels and sending his ex-wife boxes of festering dying flowers, Artis says that he is a master manipulator, explosive, and has the uncanny ability of staying calm in stressful situations. I'm not sure how that explosive part goes hand in hand with the calm part, but hey... let's give Artis the benefit of the doubt. Besides, he has a velveteen poppet of his ex-wife to finish sewing together. To the video!
Please to enjoy:
Ohhh Artis. You are delicious. You are a delicious heavily earringed ball of unpredictability. I see a little bit of the Phillip Sheppard in you in that you create computer programs for the government. Is Jason Bourne one of your operatives. Say yes! Say yes! I believe you now when you say that you are explosive. And I want you to explode all over that camp, do you hear me? I want temper. I want arms flailing. I want bark and shell figurines of all the female competitors. Don't let me down Artis. You can do this!
So, what do we think of Artis? Will he have the staying power of Phillip Sheppard? Will his earrings get caught in the tree mail? Comment it out bitches!

Can't wait until Sinbad the Screamer, that's what I'll call him for now, until they introduce his beloved and he losses it. I see angry yelling and meltdown, and begging on his knees in his future. Crosses fingers and throws glitter over shoulder. Gotta have a dream.ReplyDelete

4174.0 - Sports Attendance, Australia, Apr 1999
Previous ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 20/12/1999
|Page tools: Print Page Print All RSS Search this Product
More Australians are going to Aussie Rules
Survey results released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) show that 2.5 million people aged 15 years and over went to see Australian Rules football at least once in the year ending April 1999. This was up from 1.9 million in the year ending March 1995.
Just over 7 million people (47.1% of Australians aged 15 years and over) had been to a sporting match or competition (excluding school and junior sport) in the 12 months to April 1999.
Males were more likely to be spectators than females. Over half of all males (55%) attended sport compared to 40% of females. Aussie Rules topped attendance rates for both males and females, followed by motor sports for males and horse racing (excluding harness racing) for females.
Sports attendance declined gradually with age. The attendance rate for 15 to 24 year olds was 63%. This was nearly three times that of people aged 65 years and over (22%).
Nationally, the Northern Territory had the highest attendance rate (59%) while New South Wales (42%) and Queensland (43%) had the lowest.
Further details can be found in Sports Attendance, Australia (cat. no. 4174.0) available in all ABS bookshops.

I have been giving Blu Gyco Flex 3 since his surgery. However, the maintenance dose is 1/2 tablet for his size, and it's a royal pain to chop those suckers in half perfectly.
Anyway, I did some research and I see that Dasuquin is the front runner in this area with the addition of ASU. But, if so, why is it only 800mg of glucosamine? I thought the dogs in Blu's weight range should receive 1,200mg. Am I wrong?
http://www.allivet.com/p-1584-dasuquin- ... 4Aod8nbrpA
Has anyone used this Dasuquin? What makes it so great/expensive?
Question about Dasuquin
Talk about diets, exercise, and disease.

Re: Question about Dasuquin
I don't know how the ingredients compare with other brands, b/c I've never used anything other than Dasuquin (except Cosequin, which is the same company and I'm not sure they make anymore). But the stuff has always worked well for my dogs. I gave it regularly to my chocolate lab for several years when arthritis in her elbows and hips got very bad, and I believe it made a big difference in helping to keep her mobile and comfortable. I give it now to Riley, my 10 year old pit bull, to keep the stiffness out of her joints. But this isn't to say that other, less expensive brands couldn't do the same thing... I get a discount on it from my vet, have been satisfied with the results, and just haven't had reason to try anything else.

Re: Question about Dasuquin
I have never used Dosuquin, but have used Cosequin with 3 of my cats over the years with good results.

Re: Question about Dasuquin
Love Dasuquin. However, Cosemin ASU is *exactly* the same in capsule form, and much cheaper. I confirmed this with Nutramax (make of both products)
Re: Question about Dasuquin
I didn't realize Cosemin was for humans. How do you figure the dosage?
Re: Question about Dasuquin
Just compared the two labels and did the math.

Re: Question about Dasuquin
Except the pet version is regulated by the FDA as a prescription drug... and the human product is not. This is the cost difference, and the guarrantee you are getting the quality control you expect.
Re: Question about Dasuquin
Being that they're both made by nutramax labs, that's a chance I'm comfortable taking.

Face forward: Uncapping the lens of vulnerability
I thought I knew what I was in for when I visited the University of Virginia Art Museum's exhibit, "The Figure in Photography, 1995-2005," curated by museum ace Andrea Douglas and art prof William Wylie. But instead of images examining the human body, what I found was a show highlighting work by eight photographers who, with one exception, explore context-specific, color portraiture.
Each artist dismantles the artificial veneer of formal portraits to disclose the vulnerability of the subjects in front of the lens. Several of the show's photographers work within particular environments, like Dave Woody, who shoots adolescent boxers before and after bouts. In "Boxer, Austin, TX (#2)," a boy stands in three-quarter view, as sweat beads on his slight but muscled body. The composition is stunning with reds ranging from carmine shorts to ruddy raw knuckles to a pink lower lip. But what holds the viewer's attention is the tenderness of the young fighter's expression as he looks wistfully to one side.
The three close-up portraits by Dawould Bey also showcase teenagers. Bey asked high school students, whom he shows seated at desks, to write paragraphs revealing something about themselves. These texts accompany the images, illuminating the inner life of the individuals. In Chan Chao's series, "Burma: Something Went Wrong," the photographer portrays young activists living in precarious exile following the military takeover of their country.
Two of the show's artists take a different tack, manipulating the circumstances under which they photograph their subjects. Sharon Cole's "Drunk Series" presents formal headshots of inebriated partygoers. Their eyes half-lidded, Cole's subjects can't muster the pretense that normally accompanies such formal sittings. Similarly, Bettina van Zwehl, takes pictures of women after they've slept in white shirts, looking slightly disheveled and confused, or as they hold their breath while lying on the floor in black shirts, creating an illusion of intention.
A small photograph by Vibeke Tandberg and another by Hellen van Meene seem like off-kilter afterthoughts compared to the attention the show lavishes on the work of the previous five photographers. Meanwhile, the work of by Jenny Gage, depicting anonymous bodies shot underwater, seems lifted from a different exhibit–- perhaps the one I'd originally imagined. Nevertheless, Gage's fluid photographs of sun-outlined silhouettes are among the most beautiful on display.
Though unexpected in scope and somewhat odd in image selection, "The Figure in Photography" nevertheless puts a new face on photographic portraiture.
"The Figure in Photography, 1995-2005" is on view through August 8 at the University of Virginia Art Museum, 155 Rugby Road. 924-3592.

Wardrobes that work
Lloyd Boston might just be a working woman's best friend. Through his books, in-store seminars for such companies as Jones New York, and TV shows on Fine Living Network, he keeps one finger on fashion's pulse and another on the practical needs and budget constraints women have to deal with. Sure, we live in our favorite jeans and relaxed shirts on the weekends, but for the job — five days a week — it's a different story.
Boston recently shared tips on how to dress for an interview, but also elaborated on what he likes that women are wearing to work. "I love a woman who understands that a suit is meant to boost your style mileage," he says. "In the past few years, women have gotten a lot more creative with business suits – breaking them up and styling them in ways that don't look so boxy, corporate and traditional," he says. He likes to see skinny belts over a suit jacket, and the sleeves pushed up.
"It's a good way to create a waist if yours is gone." Or belt a sweater under a jacket and over a dress, as in this outfit from Banana Republic, above.
He's not a big fan of long jackets. Petite women should wear shorter jackets, and even bigger, curvier women shouldn't wear them too long.
And don't worry if your blouse is longer than the jacket's hem. "It gives a little individuality to the outfit, versus looking like a flight attendant," he says.
An alternate work outfit, for a woman in a more casual dress situation, is "dark denim trousers with a black or dark jacket, and a beautiful blouse beneath."
He also likes cardigans as a jacket alternative. "Sweater stets have come a long way since your mom wore them," he says. "You can find versions will fuller, puffed sleeves," beautiful colors and romantic touches. To take them from the ordinary, add a belt in metallic or patent leather, and team them with a "more stately" bottom – a pencil skirt or pants in pinstripes or lace.
Above all, experiment with what's in your closet, Boston says. "Most of women I bump into at style clinics want permission to wear unexpected combinations. They'll say, 'I never thought I could wear a tunic under a leather jacket.' So step outside the box. It can be liberating to try something new and you won't have to spend a boatload of cash."

Sheriff: No changes in wake of fire calls
911 callers overloaded system during explosion at Town Center
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Sheriff John Rutherford says he's not planning any changes to the Sheriff's Office's emergency communications center after it experienced an overload of 911 calls during Tuesday's apartment complex fire and explosion at the St. Johns Town Center.
The sheriff says it's rare that that sort of thing happens, and that's why his department issued an apology. But he says there is no system available that could handle the number of calls that came in Tuesday.
Those at the Town Center and driving along Butler Boulevard saw the smoke and flames Tuesday afternoon, and many reached for their cellphones and called 911.
"Yeah, I just drove by the Town Center and it looks like the top of a building is on fire there," one caller told a 911 dispatcher.
LISTEN: 911 calls in fire, explosion
IMAGES: Fire at apartment building construction site
"I just drove on JTB drove past the Town Center there and the condos they are building, it looks like the top of it is on fire," another caller said.
"There is a fire located next to the Costco in the new development that they are building," another caller told a dispatcher.
In a matter of minutes, the communications center was slammed with calls, tying up lines and forcing people to hold.
"I don't know, its an apartment building that is going up at the Town Center and it's fully engulfed," one caller said.
"The apartment building is on fire?" a dispatcher asked.
"Yeah, it's under construction, however," the caller said.
"Yeah, it looks like someone has already called that in. We are on the way," the dispatcher said.
When the calls were transferred to the Fire Department, there were long waits. The phone kept ringing until Fire and Rescue dispatchers picked up.
"There is no way we can financially build a system to take all of those calls, and you don't need to because they are all the same unless somebody has a different situation, and then I would encourage them to hold on," Rutherford said.
That's what some people did, making sure their calls got though.

Latest Exercise & Fitness News
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 31 (HealthDay News) -- Exercising in water provides the same aerobic benefits as land-based workouts, but with less wear and tear on your body, according to a new study.
The finding is good news for people who are overweight, have arthritis or other joint problems or injuries, the researchers said.
"If you can't train on land, you can train in the water and have the same benefits in terms of improving aerobic fitness," Dr. Martin Juneau, director of prevention at the Montreal Heart Institute, said in a Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada news release.
Because of the resistance of water when you move, it may seem as if you can't exercise as hard as you can on land. This study, however, found that's not the case.
Participants' workout intensity levels were monitored when they used a typical stationary bike and a special exercise bike designed for use in a pool, with water up to the chest level.
The level of workout was about the same on both types of machines, according to the study, scheduled for presentation Tuesday at a meeting of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, in Toronto.
The researchers also found that the participants' heart rates were a bit lower when they did the water workout.
"You pump more blood for each beat, so don't need as many heartbeats, because the pressure of the water on your legs and lower body makes the blood return more effectively to the heart," Juneau said. "That's interesting data that hasn't been studied thoroughly before."
Water workouts can provide a "great alternative" for people who find it difficult to exercise on land, he added.
Data and conclusions presented at meetings should be considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Back to overview
With magnetic piston or with magnetic piston and separating diaphragm
WIKA Instrumentation (M) Sdn. Bhd.
Model 700.01 is particularly intended for the monitoring of differential pressures even in the case of high working pressures in gas and air preparation and supply systems.
Model 700.02, the version with a separation diaphragm, is suitable for liquid media and therefore also for water treatment and supply systems.
This piston-type differential pressure gauge offers special advantages due to its compact modular design. For instance an on-the-spot replacement of measuring system and case of indication is possible in retrospect and the Reed contacts can also be retrofitted and adjusted locally.
A front surface mounting flange may be retrofitted on model 700.01.
Although these models have a high overload capacity either side up to the maximum working pressure, the weight of the standard versions, i.e. approx. 220 g in the case of model 700.01 and approx. 500 g in the case of model 700.02, is extremely low. Therefore, these gauges provide an economical and flexible solution to your measuring task.
This compact design with a measuring system of stainless steel enables an optimal price/performance ratio.

KDE SC 4.5 Beta1 Available
KDE has released a first test version of the released that will be out this summer, in August. KDE SC 4.5.0 is targeted at testers and those that would like to have an early look at what's coming to their desktops and netbooks this summer. KDE is now firmly in beta mode, meaning that the primary focus is on fixing bugs and preparing the stable release of the software compilation this summer.
KDE SC 4.5 sports many improvements, among which are:
Initially planned for KDE SC 4.5.0, the KDE PIM team have decided to delay the released of the Akonadi-based KMail for one month. The new version of KMail will be delivered as part of one of KDE's monthly bugfix updates. In the meantime, the stable version of KMail from KDE SC 4.4 will be maintained. Akonadi will centralize syncing and caching of PIM data, deliver wider support for groupware servers and makes handling PIM data, such as contacts, calendaring and email more efficient by sharing it across applications.
Please test this release, and inform us of issues with the software through bugs.kde.org.
Gratulations to everybody who who contributed to this release. KDE SC 4.5 will be a very polished and nice release. Great work friends! :-)

Many many thanks!
I just started my emerge to test it as soon as possible.
Thank you for all your relentless work!

Kubuntu .debs?
I'm not too comfortable compiling things from source but would really love to try this out! Are there any .deb files available to install instead? And if so where?
Thanks KDE keep up the amazing work!! :D

Kubuntu .debs
In the past, KDE SC Beta/RC/Final Preview versions were released within a special PPA some days after the official release. So you only had to add the special repository and to update via package manager. I hope, that will be done in future, too. So watch the news area on kubuntu.org - QT4.7beta is already announced and I think KDE SC 4.5 will follow the next days. All steps to install are shown there - it's very easy.

new system tray
Has the new system tray been copied over from Windows 7 (http://kde.org/announcements/announce-4.5-beta1.png)? I've always wondered how they could have done such an awfully looking thing? And now KDE has cloned it? Oh why? I hope I'm wrong.

err, the Windows 7 systray

Funny, funny, funny. Some months ago I was reading all over the net how Win 7 copied KDE 4's panel and system tray. Now someone seems to be awake from his winter sleep and sees it the other way around.

I don't care who copies who.
I don't care who copies who. But if something is changed to worse (to my mind), then I start to wonder why this change is done. If Windows 7 didn't have these icons, I would still complain about them :P
By Silver at Fri, 2010/05/28 - 7:58am
Ah yes, another thing: hidden
Ah yes, another thing: hidden icons in new system tray will open in popup, just like in Windows 7 :)
I hope I'm wrong about it too.

I had same idea of list
I had same idea of list (icons on left, text on right) to be used in systray when not even Vista was out. Would you say that I would be only one outside of Microsoft who did not think such? I bet there are thousands of peoples who have had same idea long before Microsoft got such or until such was implented as well to Plasma Desktop.
And the Windows 7 style is a pop-up, but it is bad one. It only show icons and it set icons in a same line. Like they would be a second systray top of the existing one. And when you drag something from it, it gets hidden.
Only same idea in both of these is that other widgets in the panel do not get resized everytime when user opens hidden icons from systray. Otherwise, KDE did better job implenting such idea (what I remember being heard as well from KDE few years ago...).

KDE was planning for a new
KDE was planning for a new system tray for a long time already. Plasma's whole concept for example, was presented by Aaron Seigo in 2005.
That KDE4 now looks like copying Windows 7 is unfortunate. Someones, yes an idea is just better, and copying takes place. At other times, a certain solution is just the most logical thing to do. So both parties invent the same thing (the new expand action in the system tray is an example of this). Please be aware Windows 7 also took good idea's from MacOS and KDE 4 while they were still in the inception phase. And when KDE is late to finish the game, it now looks like KDE was copying.
The design goal for the new system tray was not to make it look white (or ugly as you state), but to give plasma more control over it. The mouse over effects work consistently now, and integration/mesh-up of the taskbar and system tray is nowadays possible (like the MacOS dock does). The white looks a bit weird to me too, but OTOH I can really appreciate the monochrome icons in the MacOS system tray. It takes a while to get used to, but it works much nicer in the long run.
By vdboor at Thu, 2010/05/27 - 12:08pm
Actually I don't care who
Actually I don't care who copies who - if it's for good, it's totally OK by me. The problem in this case was purely in these white icons and system tray expanding by popup. If icons are changeable to current-fashion (theme) easily and expanding will be configurable, these new defaults are OK.

From Windows 7? Even Mac OS X
From Windows 7? Even Mac OS X has have that kind many years now!
Seems you have bitter taste in your mouth because MS did not invent nothing what you say.

I was set to miss 4.5 till openSUSE included it officially (11.4 or whatever; just hoping for more stability), but the moment I saw the screen-shot I've changed my mind; though I'll stick to 4.4.3 till rc1
Keep it up guys!!!

openSUSE Packages of KDE SC 4.5
We're about to make it even easier to test an unstable KDE release... stay tuned.
By Will Stephenson at Fri, 2010/05/28 - 8:03am
Even easier?
I thought that KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE was already very easy for testing of KDE packages (although it installs them system-wide). Now I'm really curious...
By Luca Beltrame at Fri, 2010/05/28 - 12:27pm
Any kubuntu packages
Please .... and congrats.

This is it!
Congratulations KDE guys and girls. I have been testing Beta 1 for a few hours now and I have to say that it's very hard to believe that it's a beta. It's very responsive, stable and looks good on top of that. I can't imagine you topping this for the final release ;)

new KMail
"The new version of KMail will be delivered as part of one of KDE's monthly bugfix updates."
Does this mean that KMail2 will be within updates in 4.5.1 or smth? So instead of fixing bugs (within a bugfix-release) it will introduce new major features and likely bugs along with them?
By Silver at Fri, 2010/05/28 - 8:49am
KDE PIM will do beta/RC cycles in the mean time
It's not like it'll be dropped on users without warning. Although separate from the SC release, KDE PIM will make alpha/beta and RC releases for testing prior to the official release.

But KDE PIM still IS a part of KDE SC, isn't it? How will these alpha/beta/RC releases reach interested end-users?

A little review.
KDE is, like always, doing things so right, that it almost fails because of it. That's because we had this release days after a Fedora 13 with KDE 4.4, and I have to notify that KDE 4.5 Beta, save the brand new features, is, like always since KDE 4.0, more stable and faster than the past release.
This is going to be my own review, with a lot of little things that I care about, but that are so little that they pass unnoticed by most. Forget about the new blur plugin. It's cool, but I disabled it, because once you get used to a solid 60 FPS framerate with a poor IGP that suffered with Aero, you can't leave it. 4.5 is faster and fixes a lot of KDE 4.4 annoyances.
1. The annoyance number one for everyone using Plasma: plasmoids don't remember you, don't remember where they are and, if you remove them, you have to reconfigure them. Same thing for activities. Enabling more than one activity with KDE 4.4 led to leftover plasmoids, a corrupt desktop, and a Plasma Desktop disoriented. This ENDS HERE. Plasma under KDE 4.5 is SOLID AS NEVER BEFORE. Plasmoids remember you. And if you disable the "Dashboard-like" behaviour and later enable it, all of your plasmoids are there, waiting for you. The pain with ZUI ENDS HERE. The painting issues with Plasma END HERE. This alone makes an upgrade from 4.4 "stable" a neccessity, and, once more, makes one question if 4.4 even deserves the label of stable. Every KDE beta release has made this with the stable release before it. And this is no exception.
2. Strigi/Nepomuk. It isn't really faster. This time the recipe is: index less, index better, and hammer less the system. And it worked. Before, we all wasted our processors with continous reindexings. Reindexings are OVER, guys. Before, Strigi hammered our GPUs and Plasma because it had the bad idea of update its status at 120 fps. That's OVER, and Strigi eats a LOT less CPU than before. This is the second reason why an advanced user SHOULD UPGRADE NOW.
3. Kudos for the guy that redid the Device Manager icon. The old one was annonying and weird. This one is beautiful and clearly means USB. And the monochrome icons are beautiful, with a pen effect that amazed me. The Strigi icon impressed me the most. It's the Nepomuk logo, stylized, I suppose. But when I see it I now see a script S for Strigi, indexing. I can associate it to something. That's beautiful. It's sad to see third party apps, and apps like KGet or Amarok, with colourful icons, now. They deserve their monochrome icons too!
What's missing?
1. A full review of the keyboard behaviour. The keyboard navigation is riddled with bugs, everywhere. It seems that nobody tested that. I can test.
2. A delay. We need more time to kill more bugs. We need more betas, more testing and more time, because we are releasing in the worst time of the distro cycle. Fedora has released Goddard days before this beta. Ubuntu is shipping with 4.4.2. Mandriva won't ship 4.5 in 2010.1. OpenSUSE will be released with 4.4. And I can keep going. If we must delay KDE-PIM, why don't just delay the whole thing, put the SC in a bug-murdering-mode, release a Beta 3 and a Beta 4 if neccessary, and release a KDE SC 4.5 as stable as KDE 3.5.10?
3. The ability to configure KDM. Please, use KAuth!

I think 3. snuck in after the tagging. I remember seeing the commit.

nice review!
Nice review, Alejandro. I haven't tested plasma in 4.5 yet but thanks to your review I look forward to the stable release even more ;-)
I'm not really in for a longer testing period, as the x.y.Z releases coming each month can fix whatever is wrong and in the mean time I can enjoy 4.5 thanks to the rolling release schedule in arch :D

folder view 'look into me' icon
And Folder view no longer pops up randomly, but has that nice 'look into me' upwards arrow, which is just great!
(just wanted to add it here :) )
And when we' at schedules: Couldn't the 4.x.4 release be timed with the stable distros und the 4.x.0 release with testing distros or such? (I use Gentoo, though, so I don't really care about release cycles. For myself I rather want projects to have their own schedules, so I don't have to recompile everything at the same time).

I dunno if there is some configuration option right now, but if there isn't, you can change this in the file associations (I used that to test it in Konqi 4.4).
Start konqi and go to settings -> file management -> file associations (or look in systemsettings under file associations). There you can search for html and set WebKit KPart under 'Embedding' as default (on top).

one small comment: while blur is cool to make transparent windows better readable (effectwise), please always keep the options to turn it off. I regularly use transparency for painting fun, making the MyPaint window 80% transparent and putting it on top of a picture, so I can retrace parts of it very conveniently.
By Arne Babenhauserheide at Fri, 2010/06/04 - 8:24am
no blur ;)
Right click on a titlebar, select "Configure window behaviour...". You'll get a dialog with the first option, "Desktop Effects", selected. Select the second tab, "All Effects". In the first group, "Appearance", you'll find the Blur effect. Disable it :)

A groundbreaking new study shows that antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), when taken correctly and offered along with condoms and counseling, could help to prevent HIV infection. Results show that taking the drug Truvada was associated with a 43.8% reduction in HIV infections. The study involved about 2,500 sexually active gay men and transgenders from cities around the world, including San Francisco.
The method is known as PrEP (pre-exposure prohylaxis). It's an experimental approach that involves taking antiretroviral drugs before exposure to the virus.
In the wake of the PrEP study we sat down with Steve Gibson, Director of Magnet, to understand what this study means for San Francisco.
Do the results mean I can just take a pill and I will be protected from HIV?
No. This is the first in a series of trials to determine if taking antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) orally, a pill a day, could be used to prevent HIV transmission. You must also understand, the drugs were administered as part of a comprehensive package of prevention, including counseling, condom promotion, and screening and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). So far, there is no evidence of how the pill would work without the comprehensive prevention package.
Would this mean in the future, men could stop wearing condoms for anal sex?
No. No prevention method is 100% effective. Much more research is needed -- and happily is underway -- before we can understand just how effective and practical PrEP might be in preventing HIV. But for now, this is the important message: know your current HIV status and that of your partner(s).
Condoms are the best way to prevent getting or transmitting HIV during anal sex. We also know that using condoms all the time isn't realistic or even desirable for some guys, and that there are harm reduction strategies like sero-sorting and sero-positioning that may reduce likelihood of transmission. In fact, HIV positive and negative men in San Francisco have made great strides to reduce the likelihood of transmitting or acquiring HIV by adopting some of these strategies. The hope is that someday, PrEP may be one more tool to help further reduce HIV transmission.
Will this pill protect me from other sexually transmitted infections beyond HIV?
Excellent question. No. In fact, the research shows antiretroviral drugs only have the potential to protect someone from HIV. That leaves many other STIs, like syphilis, gonorrhea, and Chlamydia, that you could still contract in your throat and butt as well as your penis.
So if people should still be using condoms for anal sex, then why do we even need a pill?
Because there remains an urgent need for a range of safe and effective prevention strategies. Approximately 2.7 million people are infected annually around the world, including 56,000 in the United States and approximately 800 to 1000 in San Francisco. Although behavior change programs have contributed to dramatic reductions in these rates, far too many people are getting infected with HIV each year, including right here in San Francisco.
We hear the phrase "adherence matters" with regard to PrEP. What exactly does that mean?
It means PrEP worked best when the study participants took all the pills they were supposed to take exactly as they were supposed to take them. So if this is eventually approved for use, we've learned that it's very important that people adhere to the regimen. This is not something that can be taken casually.
Only a small portion of study participants were successful in taking the medication daily, exactly as they were supposed to. There are several reasons for this. First, taking a daily medication is a challenge for anyone. Life happens, and people miss doses for all sorts of reasons. This is particularly problematic for HIV medications, which require strict adherence to be effective in fighting HIV.
Second, a number of people in the study experienced nausea and headaches during the first month of the trial. This is just one of the "real world" complications we have to consider as we look at PrEP and how effective it could be.
Let's talk about cost. This remains a big issue, right?
Yes. These drugs can cost more than $14,000 per year for daily doses. We are concerned that only people who can afford the medications, or people with private health care, will have access to PrEP. But advocates are focusing on drug pricing and coverage to ensure equitable access, should PrEP prove to be as effective as the recent study suggests it might be.
For now, our priority should remain providing access to HIV medication to people who are HIV positive, correct?
Absolutely. We believe, along with many in San Francisco, that anyone with HIV should be able to access proper care and treatment. We still have work to do on this front. There are still people living with HIV in San Francisco who have other more pressing life matters such as mental health, substance use, or who are homeless, that make it difficult to sustain HIV care. Addressing the health disparities among people living with HIV and AIDS in San Francisco remains our top priority.
As we've said, the use of these medications as prevention is still in the very early stages of research. But here's what we know for sure: they improve the lives of people already living with HIV. So we strongly feel that ARVs must be accessible first and foremost to all HIV positive people who need them.
So what's the big lesson from this study?
This study really underscores the need for people to know their HIV status so that appropriate prevention, treatment, and care services are made available to them. It's important to remember that 1 in 5 people nationwide who are HIV positive do not know their status.
Beyond that, this study holds promise. This may be the most significant advance in HIV health and prevention for gay men since the mid-90s with the release of more effective ARVs, giving real hope that we could someday break the back of the epidemic. It's of course tempered and qualified hope, but it is hope nonetheless, and that's significant since we haven't had that kind of optimism in a very long time.
What would you say to people who want to know more about ARVs for prevention?
The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention has a great deal more information about PrEP on its web site. To learn more, visit: www.cdc.gov/hiv/prep. For more information about the actual study, you can visit: www.helpfighthiv.org/prepare.htm. Individuals who are wondering if PrEP may be an option for them should consult their physician.

Detection of threshold differences
Mplus Discussion
Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Thomas Klausch
posted on Thursday, March 15, 2012 - 11:50 am
Dear support group,
I am trying to understand how invariance testing with ordinal MG-CFA models works in Mplus. I have simulated data for three groups in R. The CFA model consists of one factor with 4 indicators in all groups. The threshold structures vary strongly across groups.
If I fit a model separately in each group (by selecting cases with USEOBSERVATIONS ARE), the different threshold structures are correctly estimated after standardization (STDXY).
If I fit a multi-group model with Mplus using the default equivalent thresholds, it has, however, excellent fit (RMSEA close to zero, CFI=1). There is no indication of the apparent measurement bias.
Instead Mplus gives estimates that are close to the thresholds of the first group, but far from those of groups 2 and 3.
I do not understand why. Could you speculate on a potential reason for my finding?
Thanks, Thomas
Thomas Klausch
posted on Thursday, March 15, 2012 - 2:40 pm
I should add that the groups are about equal in size. The thresholds are -1.5, -1, 0, 1 for all indicators. They are shifted by +1 and +1.5 to the right for groups 2 and 3.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, March 16, 2012 - 8:36 am
The way you are varying your thresholds across the groups makes for a perfect fit to group-invariant thresholds with group-varying factor means - the Mplus default. In your Mplus analysis, the reference group which has zero factor mean is the group that recovers your first group's thresholds. You are shifting all thresholds by the same amount in a group which means that the shift is absorbed in the non-zero factor mean. If instead, you shift your thresholds by different amounts, you won't get perfect fit.
Thomas Klausch
posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 5:42 am
Thanks a lot for your response. Since the mean was not shifted for these groups, I suppose that an equivalent test would hence be constraining all means to be equal (or to zero). Alternatively I will vary the thresholds.

ELS Malaysia's Light Up! Initiative Helps Distribute Lights to Underprivileged Communities
On November 23, 2015, ELS Malaysia launched its Light Up! Initiative to address the basic needs of underprivileged communities in Malaysia with no access or irregular access to electricity supply.
The Initiative was launched at the 25th Anniversary Dinner, during which 300 units of mini solar LED lights were presented to three organizations: St. John Ambulance Malaysia, Red Crescent Society Malaysia, and Selangor Girl Guides Association.
Presently, approximately 200,000 Malaysians, especially those in rural areas, still live without access to electricity. Candles and kerosene lamps, which are not only expensive but hazardous to health and the environment, have been sources of light for these communities at night.
ELS Malaysia has pledged to donate one mini solar LED light for every new student registered for the Certificate Intensive English program (CIEP) at all ELS Centers in Malaysia. From the launch of the Initiative at the end of November 2015 until July 2016, a total of 835 mini solar LED lights were donated to communities on peninsular Malaysia, as well as Sabah and Sarawak. These donations were made through local and international organizations working for or with these communities. In addition to the lights, a hand-written card with message from an ELS student was inserted into every box of light for each recipient.
ELS Malaysia Centers have participated in and planned many activities to distribute the lights to these communities, including aboriginal villages. To strengthen the impact of the Light Up! Initiative, student field trips and participation in interactive sessions with recipient communities have been conducted on a rotation basis among ELS Kuala Lumpur, ELS Subang Jaya and the on-campus ELS UPM (located at Universiti Putra Malaysia). To increase the awareness of environmental conservation and sustainability, activities with school-going youth have also been planned with local schools and 'adoptive schools' of partner universities.
Congratulations to ELS Malaysia on creating this wonderful initiative! We look forward to hearing more about what is to come from the Light Up! Initiative. To learn more about the ELS Malaysia Centers, visit: els.edu.my
