Werewolves thread just got some serious juice

Yeah kickin off there now pity I got munched on the first day !

[Emmet]

The WW thread is actually getting pretty heated.

Hope the mods have bought www.irishwerewolves.com just in case we have a few splits in the group!

Would love some stats advice actually as am working with survey data and have never used it before so unsure on the best techniques. A good read recommendation would be perfect. I still have bookmarked that book you recommended ages ago: Learning to Use Statistical Skills in Psychology. Would that be my best option?

I'm guessing that as an economics guy who is basically (as far as I can tell) doing psychology research that maybe your statistics skill set is different. Although the book above is basic and I was recommending it to Ste05 who was just starting methodology in psychology I always loved it because sometimes statistical test heavy thinking clouds the mind and that book and its decision chart is a paragon of simplicity and clarity.

But I imagine you may need more specialised texts for your work (especially if you are going to be modelling), specialised in the sense of books specifically on the types of statistical tests you are thinking of doing if they are complex. At least a simple book will get you to the stage of knowing what tests you need to read up on.

You might get something from some of these links, but again they seem basic:

What is the nature of your data, variables, and what do you want to know about the data?

'beef to the heel' don't you mean?

I'd hesitate a guess that ionapaul has had an unfortunate ecounter with a female from your hometown

LOL how dare you! Mullingar women love me (I assume), was out in the town once actually, about three years ago for a stag, saw a crazy crazy mass brawl in the lobby of the Grenville Arms Hotel where we were staying, it was memorable!

No particular beef with Mullingar, there are absolutely shed-loads of towns, villages and townlands in Ireland I wouldn't be able to live in...I grew up in Galway and it is pretty much too small a place for me to enjoy living in now, I only really enjoy living in cities, particularly those with LOADS going on, so Dublin is just about big enough. The thought of living somewhere small and quiet horrifies me.

Lads, I got a new camera, what you think of the quality? Wasnt sure about the angle of this shot eiter, difficult vantage point.

You cant go far wrong with a 1D mkII.

However DOF isn't fantastic. The 100 note at the top right needs to go. And the models skin tone appears uneven.

Was this on camera flash? The EXIF indicates the flash fired.

Also you need to convert to sRGB to post on the web. aRGB will leave the colours looking flat in most browsers. You can't see this because Safari on the mac is colour space aware.

[ionapaul]

If you search boards for 'FAS girl' I believe you'll find the very first thread about her (a big one in After Hours) was started by yours truly...she is a queen among Irish models, in fact I'd love to say to her 'in my country you would be a princess!'

I am. I've answered your question in the other thread as well.

[peteypop]

LOL from andrews blog ,

The first thing I thought of was when I sat down was 'Shuffle up and lol", as there was some seriously funny carry on at my first table. I had two team pros at the table but thankfully, they were French Poker770 team pros, so they were obviously in bits.

brilliant stuff.

Just reading a book at the moment on a guy who has spent his life collecting books.

John Baxter: A Pound of Paper


Quite good, but wouldn't necessarily recommend it. It did get me reopening my callcard collection from the teenage years, and looking critically at my own poor collection of first edition books (pride of place to all the first edition Brendan Behan's obv!). Does anyone else collect anything, or is that an out-of-date hobby at this stage?

I have about 600 books on horseracing / horse pedigrees. Most are cheap (and old).

I have these limited editions that cost a few hundred sterling each new:
Thoroughbreds Of The Crown: The History And Worldwide Influence Of The Royal Studs
The Grand History Of The Prix De L'Arc De Triomphe
(both of these are 14"x10")

I also am fond of five books by pedigree expert Michael Church:
The Derby Stakes; Dams Of Classic Winners; Champion Sires; The Classic Pedigree; Eclipse:The Horse.
These cost about 80 sterling / limited editions / now hard to get.

I don't collect them as an investment. I buy them for the information inside.

[kincsem]

Yes, and I might wear my €5.99 Lidl top if I can squeeze into it.

[Lord Sir Banter]

A friend was goading me yesterday because the lotto was heading for €7million and he'd done it and I hadn't.

I just had a sense it wouldn't be won.

Egg on his face.
€8 million on Saturday.

It really is all about the timing. That's where most novices go wrong.

[Lazare]

Some really good twists now in that WW game.

Wish I was playing

[RasTa]

I prefer reading then playing that WW game.

[ghostface]

While in no way condoning or criticising any specific An Bord Pleanala decisions, I think that it's important that they're not lenient purely on the basis of the current and likely temporary economic situation. Just because somebody wants to build something somewhere, doesn't mean it should automatically be approved and the applicant given a standing ovation. A lot of developments are unsustainable, an eyesore or not fitting with an areas development plan. We can't expect An Bord to ignore these factors and approve left, right and centre just because we're currently stuck in a rut. It's also worth noting that in 5 years time, when we're out of this mess, An Bord will be the first to come under fire for allowing the eyesore/vacant/monstrosity to be built.

While i agree with a lot of this, ABP are more and more coming out with decisions having regard to a number of areas that IMO they shouldn't be refusing permission for. I know of one recent refusal for a large scale development in Kildare, which was refused for one such reason and would have easily generated a substantial number of jobs in the area. But that is pretty much a non runner now given the type of refusal issued

[Emmet]

I think next WW game has to have something invested in it..

Everyone has to put up a tenner or something, if WW win, they split the pot, if Villagers win, they get their money back and the WW's money goes into the next pot.

Every time you play as a villager, you are playing to save your money, everytime you play as a WW, you are playing to win money, reflective of the game itself.

[Emmet]

Also, RE: the WW game.

Its a prime example of how synergetic misinformation is, compared to real information.

From an economics / media / American Govt perspective, this is a very interesting dynamic.

I just took a look in there and read two pages. Seems pretty fun but very hectic. FWIW I havent a clue whats going on in the game but I have a funny feeling IanMc isnt telling the truth.

Hitchhiker, STATA sounds like the right build of comp programme to do the testing you require.

Obviously, there would be more advanced programmes that would do the business, but having used that for Econometrics for over a year, I would imagine with a bit of effort you'd get a lot of results out of it.

Its pretty good for modelling data, interpreting results, and figuring out if something has significance in the model.

Here's a sample output of data from it.



EDIT: that output is from a dataset similar to a census, and used to model people's wages

[AdMMM]

She was in some sitcom series on RTE a year or two ago. Wasn't particularly good, but would give more perving opportunities if the series can be tracked down

Can't remember much about it except that it was set in Rathmines.

She also recently appeared in the Sunday Independent "Life" magazine in a bikini with her arms around her mother.

I also love leaving a decent rollover alone then when its not won i sccoff at those thousands of people who did it but i do it next time in a self satisfied way as if 800,000 is added. I love getting one over them like that.
