UAF Science Potpourri: Saturday April 1stNo fooling - this year's Science Potpourri will take place on Saturday, April 1st, from noon to 5 PM in the Natural Sciences Facility on the UAF Campus.
The ARSC visualization and access lab in Room 161 will be open and staff will be on hand to explain supercomputing and run demos. The Science Potpourri will feature lots of other hands-on science-related activities and shows for kids of all ages, from three to ninety three. All events are free. The Science Potpourri is the annual open house of the College of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics of the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Safer File AssignmentsThe article, "File Assignment: Dangerous but Useful," appeared in issue #125 . The title said it all.
The danger in using assign arises because, by default, assignments are stored in a shared file ($TMPDIR/.assign) whether they're made by NQS scripts, interactive assign commands, or hardwired Fortran calls to ASNFILE , ASNUNIT , or ASSIGN .
If you're not careful, assignments made for one job will cross sessions, affect unrelated programs, and persist for months. Ugh!
The latest ARSC user to get into trouble was on the J90. He was running the same program simultaneously in two different NQS jobs and had included assign commands like these in the qsub scripts:
... # in script 1 assign -a job_1.output u:11 ... ... # in script 2 assign -a job_2.output u:11 ...His goal was to create two separate files, but due to the global nature of assignments, the output of both jobs went to the same file, corrupting it.
A solution is to abandon the default method and instead, store assignments to environment variables. Their scope is limited to the current process, so they're less likely to have unintended consequences. Here's the basic idea, from "man assign":
The location of the active assign environment can be changed by assigning a file name or a process environment variable to the FILENV environment variable.Storing assignments to environment variables requires two changes:
- Define the environment variable, FILENV . Assign it the name of a second
environment variable, which is the place assign will store assignments.
For example:
# korn shell users: export FILENV=\$TMP_ASSIGNS # C shell users: setenv FILENV \$TMP_ASSIGNSNotes:
- "TMP_ASSIGNS" is an arbitrary name, hopefully unique. In "man assign", example 4, they use "EVAR". Your choice.
- The backslash-dollar sign, "\$", is required.
- Once you've defined FILENV , as in step 1, assign notices, and behaves
differently. Instead of writing assignments to a ".assign" file, it writes a command to
STDOUT, which you must eval . "Eval'ing" this command makes the desired assignments
take affect.
For example:
# korn shell users: eval $(assign -a job_1.output u:11) # C shell users: eval `assign -a job_1.output u:11`
- The eval IS REQUIRED!
- The eval IS REQUIRED!
- The eval IS REQUIRED!
- C shell users: Those are backticks, not single quotes.
- Korn shell users may actually use either syntax, above.
Batch NQS Job Example: Here's a sample NQS script. The assignment affects the run of "./tstname", but is limited in scope to the particular NQS job and evaporates when the job ends:
#QSUB -q mpp cd /u1/uaf/baring/Prj/Assign # Store assign info to environment variable, TMP_ASSIGNS export FILENV=\$TMP_ASSIGNS # Make an assignment eval $(assign -a testAssignedFile.out u:41) # Run program which needs the above assignment ./tstnameInteractive Session Example: Here's a test program:
program tstname implicit none real x integer j, IER open (unit=41, form="FORMATTED", status="UNKNOWN") do j=1,10 x = real(j)/100. write (41, '(f8.4)') x enddo print*, "Unit 41 written successfully." close (unit=41) endIn the following commands, the file name, "testAssignedFile.out" is assigned to unit 41. (The command, assign -V prints all current assignments.)
YUKON$ export FILENV=\$TMP_ASSIGNS YUKON$ eval $(assign -a testAssignedFile.out u:41) YUKON$ assign -V # ASSIGN ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE=$TMP_ASSIGNS assign -a testAssignedFile.out u:41 YUKON$ ./tstname Unit 41 written successfully. YUKON$ ls -l testAssignedFile.out -rw------- 1 baring staff 90 Mar 29 15:41 testAssignedFile.outNow, if I open a second telnet session and list assignments, I see this:
YUKON$ assign -V # ASSIGN ENVIRONMENT FILE=/tmp/baring/.assignThis is the desired effect. The assignment in the first session has no affect on the second session.
If I switch back to the first window, I can clear the assignment with assign -R , but I must use eval again:
YUKON$ eval $(assign -R) YUKON$ assign -V # ASSIGN ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE=$SESSION_ASSIGNAlternatively, since the variables FILENV and SESSION_ASSIGN only exist in this session, logging out will zap them.
Computation Steering: A First LookUsers often wish they could communicate with a running program.
This process, often know as computational steering, is typically most useful in long iterative computations, when, for example, there is some report you'd like more or less of, to change a control parameter, or simply come to graceful conclusion saving the work so far. Another important use is when debugging or analyzing code, as it is often better that running under the debugger, as performance is preserved. The technique, however, does require the main loop of the program be modified.
The code below illustrates a somewhat primitive but portable way to communicate with your program while it is running. The key features are as follows.
- In this example, a primitive iterative computation is undertaken with the number of iterations and the printout frequency fixed by the code and data dumped only at the end.
- The variable 'islook' determines how many iterations there are between checks for a steering instruction.
- Every 'islook' iterations, the code tests if the file 'read_steering_control' exists
and, if it does, reads the file, 'steering_control'.
The value in 'steering_control' is used as the new value for 'ipiter'. Using 'read_steering_control' as a flag lets the user edit 'steering_control' leisurely and then create (touch) 'read_steering_control' when they want the steering actions undertaken.
Once the code reads the steering instructions, 'read_steering_control' is deleted and the user can change 'steering_control' again, if they wish.
- To be safe, both err and end keywords are used in the open and close statements to ensure safe behavior if the files are not in a suitable status when the code reads them. This is to prevent the job failing when steering is performed. The worst that can happen is that the change doesn't take effect.
- Both files are closed. Note that 'read_steering_control' is also deleted. This prevents repeated reads of the steering file and indicates to the user that the steering file has been processed.
In this primitive example only one variable is modified, but it would be a simple exercise to expand the contents of 'steering_control' to permit an emergency dump, change 'ip1' or 'ip2', or alter 'frac'.
program steer1 implicit none ! problem size integer isize parameter (isize=1024*1024) real a(isize) ! compute loop limits integer i ! number of iterations integer iter,niter ! interest points integer ip1,ip2 ! action control variable integer ido integer ipiter real frac ! steering variables integer islook,ipnew ! basic iteration count niter=10000 ! print every ipiter iteration ipiter=100 ! simple smoothing parameter frac=0.99 !! steering control islook=100 ! boundary conditions a(1)=-1.0 a(isize)=1.0 do i=2,isize-1 a(i)=0.0 enddo ! print interest points ip1=100 ip2=10000 do iter=1,niter do i=2,isize-1 a(i)=a(i)+frac*(a(i+1)+a(i-1)-2*a(i)) enddo if(mod(iter,ipiter).eq.0) then write(6,*) ' iteration ',iter,' data ',a(ip1),a(ip2) endif !! look for steering input if(mod(iter,islook).eq.0) then open(61,file='read_steering_control', ! status='old', ! err=6101) open(60,file='steering_control', ! status='old', ! err=6100) read(60,9000,err=6000,end=6000) ipnew 9000 format(i6) write(6,*) ' direction is ',ipnew if(ipnew.gt.0) then ipiter=ipnew endif 6000 continue close(60,err=6001) 6001 continue 6100 continue close(61,err=6101,status='delete') 6101 continue endif enddo write(10) a stop end

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:{{ I'm in four Unix permission groups: {{ {{ yukon$ groups {{ hyprfast bigfoot wulfdown marsbar {{ {{ Whenever I create a new file, it's in "hyprfast," but I've left {{ those guys behind. So I'm always running, or forgetting to run, {{ chgrp: {{ {{ yukon$ chgrp wulfdown new.file.out {{ {{ How can I change my default group to "wulfdown"? Confusion reigns in this question. In UNICOS (but not every Unix), a new file is put in the group of the directory in which it is created. Changing your primary group to "wulfdown," which you can't do yourself, anyway, wouldn't help. You need to "chgrp" manually, as shown above, or change the group of the directory (or entire subtree). If you do all your "WULFDOWN" work in certain directories, this might make sense. Q: Gol' Dern it an Dang Blast It All! I opened an old file, "my_stuff.original", with vi, like this: vi my_stuff.original Then, before making ANY changes, realized I shouldn't mess with the original, but should create and edit a new version. So I used vi to re-save it as a new file: :w my_stuff.unoriginal Then I typed in some limericks, etc., saved and quit: :wq But vi pulled a switch-er-roo. "my_stuff.original" now contains the NEW version, and "my_stuff.unoriginal" contains the original version. This is the opposite of what I wanted! What happened? And, if ":w" isn't right, how can I change the name of the file I'm editing?

The witness' father sent a letter to Albert Ducrocq, a prominent French science journalist, describing his son's sighting and photograph.
Excerpt from the letter: "On May 26, 1975, at approximately 07:45 p.m., my son Didier, who has just been seventeen years old, called me, claiming that he had just seen a UFO and that he had photographed it. His claim was received by much skepticism on my part, my wife's and my daughter's. Before closing his shutters, he saw this "thing" and, after a few seconds, he had the reflex to jump on his camera and to take a photograph. We did not speak again any more of the incident; having finished the roll and not having money to have it developped, my son put it aside... and forgot about it until last week. It was an amazement at the sight of the picture which I join to this letter."
In an interview, the witness gave further details. "[The duration of the sighting was] approximately 10 to 15 seconds. It went down vertically. Then, it disappeared towards the south. It resembled an opaque black disc without any reflection nor relief, and it evolved without noise, at least, I did not hear any noise."
Further information on this case, including the complete letter and also the interview with the witness and his father, can be found on the UFOs at Close Sight website:

Sometimes when you are nice, people take advantage of that. I like to talk to people waiting outside the doors, but try to keep the subject about toys. If I feel the person has things in common with me, like a family, a job, etc. I might open up. But if it's a lowlife, who lives out of taking advantage of the system (gets workers comp., wellfare, etc. but can wake up every morning and run for Hot Wheels ), doesn't bathe, works in the porn industry, goes to Tijuana to have sex with minors (yes, I've heard one of this characters talking about doing this), then I don't think I will tell them much about me.
I don't know Tycho, maybe I'm just being too paranoid.
Anyway, let's go back to talking about our finds!
Alhambra TRU had 3 of the Bantha battlepacks this evening. They were all sagging a little though. I already have one, but I'm reporting it in case anyone wants one. Other than that, they didn't have much of anything. 3 TAC 2 figures: two ceremonial Luke's and one Han.
Rosemead Target still has plenty of Order 66, but Pico Rivera Target is starting to run out. It seems the sets with the 501st Airborne and Bow are being bought more than the others.

1) Even if you have money, it is not limitless, and part of keeping it safe is not wasting it - say by paying over 3x retail for components to your hobby. Especially like how I want 4 Eopies (TPM) which I've never gotten. They are $45 or more on average on eBay, haven't checked for a while though. But they will be $19.99 in a battlepack if Hasbro re-issues them - with young Beru and Owen even if they are generous about it. Why pay over 5x the price there? Boxcar Willie, Headphones, etc. are just looking to earn a client with you. It's akin to a real estate agent asking you "how are the wife and kids?"
2) I luckily have almost no competition for Star Wars. The Hot Wheels guys who are regulars at my store, aren't scalpers, and they don't touch it. The one Star Wars guy who does show, collects 1-2 of everything and that's it. He's not really big competition, and won't come when he doesn't need anything. But you can tell he might be annoyed because if he does come and has to share with me, he might need to continue making trips to the store that we usually leave empty handed from.
3) If I bought from eBay or scalpers-dealers, it would help hurt everyone here, and raise the number of scalpers going for the stuff and make it harder for this one Star Wars guy, too. (He was nice today, btw) He just shares more comradery with the Hot Wheels guys. I also figure I'm the youngest there (maybe - it's a close call). But the Hot Wheels guys (most of them) are nicer to me than someone in my own hobby. Whatever.

El Puerco lives! unfortunately i saw him this morning at La Brea Target
Los Feliz TRU had all 4 of the exclusive titanium ultras this afternoon. i picked up the JSF. i also saw a wave 2 figure for the first time - Luke, but passed on it. if only i had gone there for opening instead of La Cienega TRU, i might've scored some of the other wave 2's.
I saw the Titanium Ultra Anakin Jedi Starfighter at TRU the other day. I have to admit it looked nice. I didn't post about it though as I don't collect those. Maybe I should have said something though.
The X-wing was there, too. I was curious, so I counted the wing stripes: 3.
That's Biggs Darklighter's ship! Sort of cool. It's off scale to the Jedi Starfighter though. The X-wing should be huge next to Anakin's little ship.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Hasbro really should've had the JSF Ultra in the very first wave instead of the Droid Fighter. who knows, it might actually have made a difference in the fate of the line.

From pop favorites to carols, Fortnightly Musicale's "Christmas Gift to the Community" will celebrate all kinds of Christmas music.
Fortnightly Musicale, one of the oldest music associations in Tupelo, is hosting a free concert for the community next week. Performers include a variety of performers, from singers like Jo Miller Orr, Annette Reed, Sarah Childers, Monica Spencer and Anna Miller, instrumentalists like the Advanced Suzuki Class and Darwin Brooks.
"The unique and wonderful thing about this concert is that it brings together musicians with an age span from 12 to almost 70 years old into one Christmas offering of music," Orr said.
Selections for the evening include Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Pie Jesu," performed by Orr and Jarod Reppert; "White Christmas," performed by Monica Spencer; and "O Holy Night," performed by Chris Thompson.
The singers and instrumentalists chose their own songs, Orr said, so there's a wide variety.
Orr chose an obscure number, "No Candle Was There and No Fire," that she believes was popular in the 1920s or '30s.
"It's absolutely just gorgeous," she said. "Music really is the international language, and it never ages."
The concert is free, Orr said, so the community can enjoy the music put together by the Fortnightly Musicale.
"It truly is a Christmas gift to the community," she said.
On stage
What: Fortnightly Musicale's "Gift to the Community, featuring Jo Miller Orr, Annette Reed, Monica Spencer, Jarod Reppert and the Advanced Suzuki Violin Class

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:38 PM GMT on October 19, 2010
Heavy thunderstorm activity has increased and grown more organized this morning over the southwestern Caribbean between Honduras and the Cayman Islands, in association with a tropical disturbance (Invest 99L). The storm is bringing heavy rain to the Cayman Islands; two inches has fallen so far this morning at Savannah on Grand Cayman Island. Recent satellite imagery shows that 99L has some rotation, and the winds on the northeast coast of Honduras at Puerto Lempira have shifted to the west-northwest, implying that 99L may be developing a surface circulation. Wind shear is a moderate 10 - 20 knots, which is low enough to allow some slow development. Water vapor satellite loops reveal that the atmosphere in the Western Caribbean is moist enough to support development, and the waters beneath are plenty warm, at 29°C. The latest SHIPS model forecast predicts that wind shear over the Western Caribbean will mostly remain in the moderate range, 10 - 20 knots, for the remainder of the week. The current north-northwest motion of 99L should continue until Wednesday, when a strong ridge of high pressure is forecast to build in, forcing 99L to the south or west. However, steering currents will be weak Wednesday through Friday, making it difficult to predict where 99L may wander to. The only models that develop 99L are the GFDL and HWRF. The GFDL model predicts that 99L will spend enough time over water to develop into a hurricane, and brings the storm to the coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Sunday morning. The HWRF model has 99L making landfall over Honduras late this week, before the storm has a chance to develop into a hurricane. NHC is giving 99L a 40% chance of developing into a tropical depression by Thursday. I believe the odds are higher, near 60%. The Hurricane Hunters are on call to investigate 99L this afternoon.

Damage from Super Typhoon Megi still largely unknown
The power is still out and communications are down over the majority of the northern portion of the Philippines' Luzon Island blasted by Typhoon Megi yesterday, so the extent of the destruction wrought by the great storm is still largely unknown. Preliminary news reports indicate that at least 10 people died, and the northern Philippine province of Isabela suffered severe damage. Megi hit Luzon on Monday morning at 3:30 UTC as a Category 5 super typhoon with sustained winds of 165 mph and a central pressure of 914 mb. Baguio near the west coast of northern Luzon received 7.72" of rain from the storm, and many mountainous regions likely received over a foot of rain.
Figure 2. Rainfall rates in excess of 1 inch per hour (orange colors) were observed by the polar-orbiting F-18 satellite in association with Megi at 00:40 UTC October 19, 2010. Image credit: Navy Research Lab, Monterey.
Passage over Luzon Island destroyed Megi's eyewall and inner core region, and the storm compensated by expanding and intensifying the portions of its circulation that were over water. Now that its center is back over water in the South China Sea, Megi has re-developed its inner core and has built a formidable new eyewall. At the same time, Megi has been able to maintain its larger size, and is now a much larger typhoon than when it hit the Philippines. This is similar to what happened to Hurricane Ike in 2008 when it passed over Cuba, and helped give Ike a very destructive storm surge when it came ashore over Texas. Wind shear is a low 5 - 10 knots over Megi, and the waters of the South China sea have a very high total heat content to great depth, so Megi should be able to intensify into a very dangerous Category 4 storm by Thursday. The larger size of Megi means that it will be able to deliver a significant storm surge in excess of ten feet to the coast of China of Friday or Saturday, when the storm is expected to make landfall near Hong Kong. As the storm approaches the coast on Friday, wind shear is expected to rise to the moderate or high range, and the total heat content of the ocean will drop significantly, so some weakening is to be expected. Still, Megi will probably hit China as a major Category 3 typhoon,bringing a significant storm surge, high winds, and widespread torrential rains that will likely make this a multi-billion dollar disaster for China.

Get the bull (oops, I mean bill)thru the senate, like Harry promised, and have the house vote it down.
Then in the '14 elections this would be MORE he could blame on the Republicans.
Ultimate goal?
Win the house back in '14 and have the Democrats control all 4 branches of the Government.
Stan b & Elvis
In the case of this vote, a majority on the US Senate chose not to persue the bill. Simple. He got his vote.
As for backround checks, I have no problem with the nix check other than it is lacking in data that could and most likely would have prevented many from purchasing a firearm. ( mental health data, inter dept data, spousal abuse data all lacking from a nix check)
I am 100% in favor of making what we currently have work better, but that does not mean a national gun registry. IMO it means putting better data in the system.
Never trust a dog to watch your food!
What was really interesting is the ammendment to allow repriocity for carry permits, making one states permit good in all others, got a majority......i believe 51-49. I would have thought that one would have ended up similar to the Feinstein ban outcome. And please, please remember who voted for eroding your 2nd ammendment rights in every coming election from here on out. We all pretty much knew who was who in the Senate, but still, the sheeps cloak was ripped off these gun grabber wolves for all to see. I had written my Senators telling them that I would make it a point to rally support to defeat them in their next election whenever I could if they chose not to uphold the oath of the office they took. I will write Senator FRANKEN and KLOBUCHAR again to reiterate that point.
but maybe he has higher aspirations...its tough to be an astronaut one day and the next you are relegated to taking care of your loved one

Fry died. Fry was my build box. It used to be an AXi.
I put Fry's hard drives in my U60 (that had no working drives), and Fry lives again. The only downside is that the new Fry has 1/4th of the ram that old Fry did (anyone know where i can get cheap ram for a U60). The upside is that it has two CPUs instead of one (2 X UltraSPARC-II 360MHz).
Also, none of the nextgen Aurora work was being done on Fry, it was all on my SunBlade 100.
No real Aurora code work to mention until I get into Chicago in a week. All the important machines are in piles.

Answers by Expert:
I can answer most questions about male and female masturbation including physical, mental and ethical aspects. I've helped many girls and women, and some men, with issues like not enough pleasure, too much or too little masturbation, mutual masturbation and teaching others, and using it to improve your sex life or life in general. If I do not already know the answer to your question, I will gladly find it or refer you to someone who does.
I have helped my sisters and friends learn how to pleasure themselves growing up. I was always the one my friends would ask about it and I would try to help find the right solution for them. I am very comfortable talking about the subject and any problem associated with it. I believe there is always a solution to any problem, but I will not hesitate to refer someone to counseling if the problem warrants it. I strongly believe masturbation is a healthy part of living for both sexes, and can especially be important for women's sexual health and relationship success. I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology and have done a lot of research on masturbation, and how a healthy amount of it can be a positive part of a young person's life, and an uplifting part of a relationship or marriage later in life. Personally I have been masturbating since I was 11 years old, and I have tried just about every trick in the book. I know what worked for me, what works for most people, and what is just a bad idea.
Volunteered for one year at a local soup kitchen which also counseled clients. Worked one-on-one with clients as a Volunteer Life Counselor there, finding solutions to financial, shelter and clothing needs.
G.E.D. acquired. Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from a Central Oklahoma University.
Past/Present Clients
I have helped many friends, my own sisters, college roommates, my friend's brother, a few men and women online.

Elegance, authority, beauty, power, refinement, subtlety. Raffinato indeed.
Pros: Lightweight, feels solid, confortable; speed of attack & decay, instrument separation, 3D imaging; outstanding on acoustic instruments and vocals.
Cons: Slightly creaky frame at times; lettering wears off on the cups, but is that really a con?! More display of the beautiful striped ebony wood!
I tried a few Grado's —didn't like the Grado house sound—, a few Senn's —HD650 left a good impression—, a few lower-end AT's —I thought the AD700 were impressive for the price— and after reading Head-Fi and other audio forums for a long time, I thought the W5000 would suit me and my listening habits well.
For over three years I'd waited for a good deal on a used set sold in Europe —to avoid custom duties— and an opportunity finally came around.
Now, at first I didn't have any decent amplification to run them from, and but I could certainly fathom they were the best I'd ever heard from the headphone output of my Onkyo integrated amp or from my Sony Hi-MD Walkmans —playing PCM of course .
Only a year later with my acquisition of the iBasso DX100 Reference DAP did I truly realise the potential of these headphones, and how amazingly good they sound.
I can only imagine what they must sound like paired with a full-size dedicated high-end desktop headphone amp!
Bending of the metal headphone bands is important to get a good seal and experience how good the bass is. Those who have complained about the W5000 lacking bass just haven't dared bending them. For my feeling, the W5000 are certainly not bass-light; in fact more bass would be too much for me. They deliver just the impact and slam that is required to reproduce the music as it has been recorded.
What more can I say, I'm now in the process of acquiring my second set! I love to share with a good friend the experience of loosing oneself in exquisite sound !
• Review in progress - more after the break.
Update: I payed a visit to the Parisian AT Concept Store past weekend and got the opportunity to plug into the HA5000ANV headphone amp, and wow, it brought the W5000's another notch up, even more articulate, more authority, more bass, fantastic! Pure bliss, with every musical genre I tested.
Saving up for that amp, or rather the non anniversary one, I certainly am now.
Also, I fully appreciate the importance of burn-in and bending those metal bands. Between my second pair of W5000's, my first, and the one in the shop, there was a clear difference, and no doubt did my heavely used W5000's sound the best. More fluid, better bass, more musical, less harsh, everything was better.
Also, compared to the W3000ANV's, the W5000's are the better headphones if you are looking for more neutral. The bass on the W3000ANV gives the feeling of being heavier, but it is only the mid-bass that are accentuated. The W5000 extend actually lower, and are more linear overall in the low end. Not denying that the medium range sounds particular, or special, on both those woodies, and the AD2000X fare better in that respect being a tad more balanced, i.e. even more neutral, but the W5000's are definitely still AT's flagship and the best technically. Treble extension also.
The W1000X just don't compete, resolution/detail, soundstaging not as grand, and frequency bandwidth also a bit shorter. Can be less fatiguing though.


text: Well, I said I was gonna do another review, so here it is! Again, I am typing this in a single-sitting without any actual drafting, so excuse me if it sucks, or seems all ranty, or you find something else distasteful about it (I suppose that's where I come in - Mel). This review will be on the last game I completed, GSC Game World's "STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl". Yes, I know this game has been out since March of 2007, but the prequel is due to come out within the next couple of months, and I just finished it. So if you're the kind of person who will ***** about me reviewing it for that reason, go drool over 3dRealms' table scraps or something instead of pointing it out like it's some kind of damn crime. It's not illegal in my jurisdiction, anyway.According to the pseudo-intellectual cluster**** known as Wikipedia, GSC Game World is based in Kiev, which, like Chernobyl, is in the Ukraine. I suppose their proximity to the site of Captain Planet's worst nightmare makes them a good choice to make a game set in that location. Again, according to Wikipedia (ally to those too lazy to do their own damn research) they have had most of their success with some sort of strategy series that I don't remember the name of, about people on horses stabbing each other in squabbles about arbitrary boundaries... or... human history, I guess would be an easier way to say it. I think this is their first adventure into the wonderful world of shooting people with Kalashnikovs in a first-person view.In STALKER, you play an unattractive Slavic dude who is suffering from amnesia; an affliction about as common among action/adventure protagonists as the common cold. Rescued from a pile of dead Slavic dudes who were in the back of a crashed Soviet-era (old Soviet crap is very atmospheric, right?) truck that got hit by lightning or something... who drives a huge, rickety truck in a lightning storm... damn, this is kind of a run-on sentence now and... dammit. Ok, so another, less ugly Slavic dude rescues you and brings you to an even more ugly, fat Slavic dude with atrocious table manners, and you wake up, and your fancy PDA thingy displays a message in English telling you to kill some other Slavic dude.There are lots of Slavic dudes, actually. Most are probably Ukrainian, but I'm not sure, some might be Russian, or Estonian. Who knows? They're here for a reason. See, the story goes that sometime in... 2008, I think the game said, but my mind is wandering... there was a second explosion at the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear powerplant, and afterwards, weird **** started going down that could not be attributed to this. Some of this weird **** resulted in the formation of bizarre 'artefacts' which have strange and wondrous effects on human life, and mutant critters that biologists think could lead to new discoveries... and new discoveries can mean big bucks... er... roubles.You wake up in a camp of 'STALKERs', people who have come to brave the dangers of 'The Zone' in hope of finding stuff that they can sell, perhaps allowing them to at least buy toilet-paper and thus improve their standard of living. As payment for saving your irradiated ass, the fat dude asks you to do some jobs for him, which gradually leads into the game's main story, which I will summarize... at some point.I should probably make note of the fact that in the cutscenes, which are not rendered with the in-game engine but are actual video (haven't seen that in a while), the lip-syncing seemed off, but since there isn't much of it to be off in the first place, and this is a Ukrainian-made game, and I was playing it on my new laptop which I haven't played many games on (and thus may be responsible for the issue itself upon further investigation), I was willing to forgive that little problem. The cutscenes themselves are quite nice, in my opinion, they have a very cinematic feel to them.Anyway, one of the first things you will notice about this game is that speaking to NPCs brings up a dialogue thingy, which kind of reminds me of Fallout, but doesn't take up the whole screen. Some of them have a lot to say... but very few NPCs actually voice it... if that bothers you, take some more Ritalin so you can enjoy it, for the sake of gaming... uh oh, am I gonna rant again!? No... anyway, the dialogue is fairly simplistic, but this is an FPS, so that's fine... it gets the job done, letting you ask for busy-work, find out more about the setting, hear rumours, and so on.NPCs are fairly well done. Except for the most important ones, they speak in Russian, which is very atmospheric, and explains why audio dialogue with the player is sparse. They go about their business, usually sticking in the same area, but not like damn statues... they will tell jokes around campfires, some have guitars they'll play little songs on... they all have names, and they do in fact remember your actions towards them. If you shoot some guy in the ass for... I dunno, maybe you have an ass-shooting fetish... he won't like you, and neither will the people he hangs out with. If someone else does it, and you patch him up, he'll like you. The only problem is that some dialogue is repeated over and over in a relatively short span of time, like this butt-buccaneer in the bar who keeps saying "My information may be of use to you, Stalker," every 15 seconds, and he even says it in English, so you can't even at least start to learn a new damn language! Asswipe. I'm not much good for Eastern European etiquette, but I feel fairly confident saying that's really ****ing annoying in any culture.There are NPC factions; Loners (this is actually the lack of a faction I guess), Duty, Freedom, Monolith, the military, mercs, and bandits. You start out as a loner, and (to my knowledge, though I never tried) can later join Duty or Freedom, but not both, because they don't play nice. Your interactions with various NPCs will change faction opinions of you, so if Duty really likes you, Freedom will hate your guts, and vice versa. If you're a huge arsehole and kill people for fun and profit, the mercs and bandits, I'm told, will not necessarily gun you down on sight, though Monolith and - "MY INFORMATION MAY BE OF USE TO YOU STALKER" - the military will still decide you need some added ventilation. All in all, this is a very cool feature which I feel was under-utilized. Apparently GSC agrees, because they say it will play a major part in the upcoming prequel. Sounds like good times.I seem to have been interrupted during that paragraph by the most annoying NPC ever. Sorry about that.Now, it's about time I actually talked about the gameplay, particularly the shooting. This is really a shooter, after all, as much as I want to praise the more RPG-esque parts of it. The combat ranges from "Haha, this is awesome!" to "I think I'd rather get kicked in the shins by midgets". It's interesting to note the fact that although some enemies seem to take bullets to the stomach like they were getting hit with clumps of soggy Wonderbread, a single shot to the head (which can feel like it's the size of a mandarin orange if you take into account the inaccuracy of some weapons) will kill all but the toughest enemies... if it's a sniper round, that will kill anything. Then again, I'm playing through the game a second time and not noticing this on a higher difficulty, so I am now attributing it to a poor choice of weapons and a reluctance to use armour-piercing bullets the first time through. The lesson? Experiment with weapons in this game.The shooting is nothing special, for the most part, but you do get an impressive array of cool guns, which all have different characteristics which may appeal to different people. The MP5, for example, fires faster than the AKM-74, but - "MY INFORMATION MAY BE OF USE TO YOU STALKER" - is less accurate and does less damage. You can put a silencer on the MP5, but you can't give it a scope and a grenade launcher like the AK. Then again, that scope on the AK may be over-rated, because, as I said, accuracy is an issue; the bullets won't always go exactly where the scope says they will - better switch to semi-auto! Maybe you should hit your 'V' key and use that full-featured grenade launcher? I do like the grenades in this game, something I don't say very often... the launched ones have a small blast radius, but the thrown ones have a realistically large (HUGE compared to the puny grenades in most shooters) range that makes them easy to use unless you decide you want to play catch with flying shrapnel, and neglect to get behind cover. There's a lot of choice in how you kill the bad guys, here, given the setting. No gravity gun or anything, but you'll be surprised how different things will feel going from one assault rifle to another.You also have a knife, which is VERY powerful if you can get close enough to use it without getting hollow-point brain surgery... much harder than it sounds. For a game called STALKER, it's really hard to sneak in this. Everything you do makes a bit of noise. Draw or reload a gun? Noise. Step through a bush? Noise. The enemies don't see you like some kind of psychic assassins, but with how well they can hear you, I'd expect them to have ears like ****ing Dumbo. Did I mention that when they do hear you, they notify the Borg collective... er... each other... of it through telepathy (well, not really, but it sure FEELS that way) and thus ruin your attempts at stealth? Maybe that's a bit of exaggeration, it's ENTIRELY possible to do stealth kills, but for the effort it takes to do so without at least alerting nearby NPCs that something is up, you could be - "MY INFORMATION MAY BE OF USE TO YOU STALKER"....Nevermind. I hate that guy.Anyway, you could spend a ton of time just fooling around with the various killing implements. The only problem is that they start to wear down with use... after a while, they start to jam (which forces you to reload... even in the middle of combat) and - "MY INFORMATION MAY BE OF USE TO YOU STALKER" - eventually stop working altogether. This can be a pain in the arse if you've found a really nice weapon and are attached to it... where is this **** made, Hong Kong? I thought most former Soviet countries had a conscription-based military, do NONE of these people know how to fix a ****ing gun?My apologies for the - "MY INFORMATION MAY BE OF USE TO YOU STALKER" - dammit he interrupted me again... see, annoying! Rude!That leads us to... inventory, maps, and menus. Interestingly, using any of them does not pause the game, so you have to be careful where you do it. This can be irritating, like when you're getting your bearings while a pack of a half-dozen mutant dogs that even PETA would advocate euthanasia decide they want your kneecaps for dinner, with a side of inner thigh. It doesn't help that you can only carry 50 kilograms of stuff before your stamina (used for jumping and sprinting, as usual) starts taking a SEVERE hit, and 60 kg (unless you have strength-boosting armour) before you find your top speed suddenly decreased to approximately that of a tree stump. This means that you may be inclined to spend a - "MY INFORMATION MAY BE OF USE TO YOU STALKER"....I really wish that guy would shut up.As I was saying, you may spend a lot of time fidgeting with your inventory... you also need to use it if you want to change your pistol or SMG/Rifle... you can only equip one of each, plus... ah, those artefacts I mentioned earlier? They aren't just good for selling; if you choose to equip them (up to 5), they will affect you in various ways, increasing your resistance to bullets, or things that want to chew on your face, or maybe increasing your stamina. They usually have a negative effect too, though. For example, producing radiation, or making you more vulnerable to fire. It's also fun to experiment with these.You'll also spend a lot of time using your maps (and using that sprint that begs you to keep your carry weight low), because this is a astoundingly large and open game world by shooter standards; perhaps the biggest I have ever seen in a shooter. It's very well done, with burnt-out villages, swamps, laboratories, factories, forests... you gain access to more of it as you play the main story, but you get so much at a time you won't mind. Really, it's astounding they put this much detail into it, and it never really gets old. It's exactly how you'd imagine the area around Chernobyl looking. You even get to go through the Red Forest and Pripyat (look them up, I'm lazy). Apparently the devs looked at photos and news footage of the area, but it feels more like they arranged to spend some time in the real world location (hey, they let people in there, you just have to make arrangements I guess). Not too far from Kiev, so they very well may have.Anyway, you've got all of this area to explore, and dead bodies will sometimes alert you to the location of hid- "MY INFORMATION MAY BE OF USE TO YOU STALKER" -den loot scattered... just ignore him, Lord knows I try... erm, scattered across them. The stashes are a bit buggy, though... if you get a note on the same one twice, it will erase the loot and leave the marker on your map. Kinda frustrating. But the stashes aren't the only reason to explore, there are other goodies you can find, and many side quests, which would be a pain in the ass if this weren't such a kick-arse environment to do them in. To make things even more interesting, there are 'anomalies', which will blast, throw, crush, burn, melt, shock, and irradiate you... they're all over the place, and often surround really good stuff or important areas... navigating them is quite nerve-racking at times (but in a good way). They're a new and interesting challenge.Actually, it's quite overwhelming, especially with the mutants and bandits (who, judging from the rate at which they are able to repopulate their camps, apparently reproduce asexually and take 5 minutes to reach maturity and sprout an AK-74 from God knows where), and that's perhaps my biggest gripe ab- "MY INFORMATION MAY BE OF USE TO YOU STALKER" - Ok, I take it back... second biggest gripe about the game... sometimes it will feel like you're running a marathon to get back to the nearest trader, especially if you're carrying too much and keep running out of breath. A quick-travel would be welcome, and thankfully, GSC says the upcoming prequel will have one.Maybe I should have done this earlier, but now I'll talk about the story. Remember, you're an amnesiac Russian guy? "MY INFORMATION MAY BE OF USE TO YOU, STALKER!"SHUT YOUR BORSCHT-HOLE, YOU NEVER HAVE ANYTHING I HAVEN'T ALREADY LEARNED IN THE MAIN STORYLINE!Ahem... you obviously need to find out who you are, so you need to head deeper into the zone chasing clues, though you can skip a lot of these clues (which I think is worthy of praise, options are good!). This will take you through creepy labs, decrepit forts full of underpaid Ukrainian Spetsnaz troops, mutant-infested swamps, brainwashed and heavily-armed cultists... you'll have to weave your way through the irradiated area around the Chernobyl plant itself as snipers and gunships hunt you down, while the plant threatens to blow a third time. There are parts that are creepy, confusing (usually in a good way... you know, teleporters and such), parts that will have you on the edge of your seat... it's really got everything you could hope for in a good shooter... and then, you will get one of seven different endings (though 5 of them are more or less the same, and result from the same choice at the endgame... you'll see).So, in conclusion, you can probably tell I really enjoyed this game. I understand that the initial release was horrendously buggy, but I'm reviewing the version which we have NOW. I admit it has some significant faults, but in my view, the pros far outweigh the cons (many of which I can let slide, considering this is a Ukrainian game, and a new genre for its developers), and if you like open-ended, RPG-esque shooters, you owe it to yourself to play it. I don't know about you, but when STALKER: Clear Sky is released, I'll be all over it like no shooter I've anticipated in years. In the meantime, I'll be looking for a way to port that 'information' guy to Garry's Mod, and a mod to let me dismember and impale him. I guess that will have to do for now.So, I have no clue what to review next. If someone will make a suggestion (no, my computer can't run Crysis at more than 2 frames per second), I promise to be less verbose next time! Honest!ComradeJim270Subscribe to posts?

Alternate name: Dwarf Yellow
Family: Pieridae, Whites and Sulphurs view all from this family
Description The Dainty Sulphur or Dwarf Yellow (Nathalis iole) is a North American butterfly in the family Pieridae.
This species is our smallest pierid. A rare population, known from Homestead (Smith et al., 1994), is said to have mostly white individuals. Some feel that the Dainty Sulphur is so unique among our pierids, in shape and in several structural features, that it should belong in a separate subfamily. Its appearance is highly variable but identification should not be a problem.
The fore wings elongated shape is distinctive. The upper side of the wings is yellow with the tip of the fore wing being black. Black bars extend along the trailing edge of the fore wing and the leading edge of the hind wing.
Male Dainty Sulphurs have an oval scent patch (called an androconial spot) in each hind wing bar. The androconial spot is reddish-orange but fades to pale yellow after death. The underside of the wings varies depending on the season. Summer individuals have yellowish hind wings whereas winter individuals have greenish-gray hind wings. Both forms have black spots near the fore wing margin and have a yellowish-orange patch near the base of the fore wing.
Dimensions 3/4-1 1/8" (19-28 mm).
Habitat Cities, suburbs & towns, Meadows & fields, Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Grasslands & prairies, Forests & woodlands, Canyons & caves, Freshwater swamps, marshes & bogs.
Range Western Canada, Florida, Plains, California, Great Lakes, Northwest, Southwest, Rocky Mountains, New England, Texas, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast.

Feb 13/14| For Immediate Release
Gary Nower, Assistant Vice-President
Kevin Klein, Associate Director
BRANTFORD The Laurier Brantford Research and Academic Centre (RAC) East building has been awarded LEED® Silver certification by the Canada Green Building Council. The RAC West building was certified LEED Silver in March 2013.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) is a third-party certification program and an internationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. The RAC East building has been designed to consume 35 per cent less energy than a comparable industry standard building.
Sustainable features of the RAC East building include: low-flow water fixtures; high-efficiency glass; no-irrigation vegetation; natural day lighting with super energy efficient light fixtures; bike storage; elimination of refrigerant coolant HCFCs; regional and recycled materials; reduced parking and hard surfaces; solar reflecting roof; and construction waste diversion.
We are very pleased to have achieved the Silver certification for the East building, making the Research and Academic Centre Lauriers second LEED® certified building, said Gary Nower, assistant vice-president: physical resources. Certification requires a team effort from design through construction, and we would like to recognize the contributions of MMMC Architects and the design consultant team, as well as D. Grant Construction in achieving this milestone for Laurier.
The RAC East building received all 34 of the certification points that were targeted, while the West building received all 35 certification points.
For more information on LEED® certification, please visit the Canada Green Building Council website at http://www.cagbc.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Programs/LEED/default.htm. For more information about the Research and Academic Centre, please visit http://www.wlu.ca/page.php?grp_id=12531&p=16695.
