Casa Montana was wonderful! Even though it was rainy for most of the weekend, we still felt like we were in nature because of the two rooms with the giant windows that made you feel like you were surrounded by trees. Loved building fires in the wood burning stove and Juliean made sure to leave more than enough firewood for all our needs. All of the rooms were charming and had nice linens. The kitchen was huge and had everything you needed to cook. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get away from the city!!
Just a great roomy place tucked in the foothills of the mountains. Quiet, peaceful, and cool. Family of five, all grown up, and plenty of space. Lots to do nearby. The owner was great, the place was clean and spacious. Couple of deer nearby eating apples every night, fox, birds. A gem.
Amazing place, tucked away in a private and large location, so you feel very secluded. Was perfectly suited for two couples (though the 3 bed/3 bath combination can easily serve more people) and the deck out back was awesome at night for cooking and relaxing. The owner was extremely responsive and easy to deal with, thank you for that - looking forward to our next visit!
This was our 2nd time we have stayed at la montana and this time was just as great. The kids were able to mountain bike within 5 minutes and we liked the access to the fresh produce stands. The little ones enjoyed the beach at the nearby lake. With the gazebo there was peace when needed. . We will go back in the future. .
My husband and I stayed here for a weekend alone and we experienced exactly what we wanted -- absolute peace and quiet, beautiful country mountain views, a beautifully-equipped kitchen and nicely-decorated living space. I loved the four season room the most and read and read and wrote. We never saw another person or car, yet once we understood our location, found it convenient to all in both Catskill and Hudson. I enjoyed walking around the house both indoors and outside, and found it also the perfect space for meditation and yoga. My husband found a good golf course and enjoyed the four season room and also the outdoor back patio, where he found the best view. I recommend this house to singles or couples who appreciate quiet and tranquility in the upstate country mountains.
We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Montana. The house was very clean and had all the amenities. The kitchen is spacious and the outside pagoda a lovely spot to sit and read. There is a large grassy area to the side of the property, which we didn't have time to enjoy but looks very inviting for a picnic in good weather. Each bedroom had its own bath, which was a priority for us because we knew we would all be getting dressed for a wedding at the same time. All in all, we would definately return to Casa Montana -- six adults without any complaints! That in itself is amazing!
I am a NYC Caterer & Chef.
Juliean purchased this chalet in 2010
The Catskill region provided us with the peace and tranquility we were searching for. The house speaks for itself! The location is close enough for a short weekend stay yet far enough to come and stay for a week and feel like you are miles and miles away on vacation.
We are often told our home is very special and we like to think so as well. Come and see for yourself!
You can enjoy relaxing, cooking, reading meditating, Yoga (nearby) Bird watching, and going for long walks in the woods. Enjoy a nice weekend away from the city alone or with family and friends. Go swimming, hiking, antiquing, skiing and other snow activities, dining and exploring, or Do absolutely nothing!

I use the term "local" to mean the collection of materials that are acquired by our library specifically to meet the needs of ours users. Our subscribed users are accustomed to a certain level of cataloging and certain headings to assist them in consistently finding the information they seek. When we vary from that, they let us know.
Well, I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I think libraries must turn their gaze outward instead of inward since this is what our patrons are doing.
The people who use my library care a lot about the *reliability* of the information, but couldn't care less where it is located, so long as it's easy to get at. If they have to stand up and go to another library, they think it's a real chore. They want everything available digitally from home. They actually want those digitized books in the Internet Archive, the government documents and think tank publications and everything else available on the web–once they know about them.
We need ILS developers to design catalogs that allow users to search both "locally acquired" materials and the rest of "out there" seamlessly without sacrificing the quality of searching that the library provides. Throwing everything into keyword is not adequate.
I agree with this and is what I have attempted with my Extend Search http://tinyurl.com/345mf9t
Who knows if it's successful or not, but it is only a single baby-step. My patrons seem to like it.

With AirSync, the basestations make use of a common clock source using the built-in GPS receiver. One device is configured as the synchronization master and the others are configured in Slave Mode. Once this is done, the Master and Slave devices synchronize their transmit and receive cycles so that they transmit at the same time and receive at the same time.
The benefit is greater total bandwidth in multiple unit installations.

A tribute to the greats: Pioneers defined, shaped field of dermatology
It was his Doctrina de Morbis Cutaneis that earned him a spot in our list of influential dermatologists in early history. The 128-page monograph rejected the earlier classification of skin diseases based on the area of body involved, and instead grouped eruptions made up of lesions similar in appearance.
Considered the "protodermatologist of the 18th century," Dr. Von Plenck developed a classification scheme that served as a model on which Robert Willan would base his important work, On Cutaneous Diseases, 20 years later.
Robert Willan (1757-1812): An Englishman and Quaker, Robert Willan became interested in skin diseases while working in general medicine at the Public Dispensary on Carey Street in London.
He scrutinized the many lesions he saw, recording their variations and configurations. His work On Cutaneous Diseases, Part 1 is an atlas with beautifully illustrated pictures and descriptions.
He is specifically responsible for developing the descriptions of papules and macules. Dr. Willan died of heart disease before he could finish Part 2 of On Cutaneous Diseases.
Ferdinand von Hebra (1816 to 1880): Ferdinand von Hebra was the first to be appointed a professor of skin diseases, to head a university department and to become the founder of a school that was the leading center in Europe in the second half of the 19th century.
Among his pupils were luminaries in the field, including Heinrich Auspitz, Isidor Neumann, Filipp Josef Pick, Moriz Kaposi and Eduard Lang.
One of his physician-painters, Carl Heitzmann, was among the founders of the American Dermatological Association in September 1876 at Niagara Falls, N.Y.
Erasmus Wilson (1809-1884): Erasmus Wilson, the most famous dermatologist in the middle decades of the 19th century, according to the Historical Atlas of Dermatology and Dermatologists, founded and edited the Journal of Cutaneous Medicine, the first English-language journal devoted to dermatology.
His textbook On Diseases of the Skin was among the most famous English textbooks on the topic, and Dr. Wilson's atlas, Portraits of Diseases of the Skin, is known for its striking color plates.
Dr. Wilson created a book for the general public about diseases of the skin, Practical Treatise on Health Skin, which recommends that people visit a dermatologist for skin problems.
Some of his concepts — such as denying the role of fungi in ringworm — did not bear the test of time.
Jonathan Hutchinson (1828 to 1913): England's Jonathan Hutchinson was known for his genius and diverse interests. He excelled in many medical specialties, serving as president of societies in medicine, pathology and ophthalmology.

Does anyone know the legitimate reason why their are 2 5:30 games?
The Cows game....I thought the cows against the Warriors were very admirable considering they were missing half their team. They are at pretty much full strength. The storm missing Billy, Neilsen and Blair....They got touched up last week and i doubt this happens 2 weeks in a row.
The last time these 2 played, the Storm throttled the Cows up in NQ...Dane Neilsen absolutely made Tate look like a girl that night. He is out. The cows defense that night was atrocious...The cows were more bad than the storm being good....
I am on the cows +5.5.
In regards to the Manly game...I am waiting till half time...
He wasnt off side..
friggin cheats
Cowboys player gets penalised for being offside when he wasnjt...
Cronk then throws a forward pass to Hoffman, play on.
Then the storm score off th next tackle..
Its all one big friggin corrupt comp...Thats all it is...
I should have known better than to bet against the storm at home...I should have known.

How are you supposed to win when the referees decide before the game that they arent going to let you win?

The Lean Cloud: The Need for Multi-Cloud DevOps
All clouds are not equal. To succeed in a DevOps context, organizations should plan to develop/deploy apps across a choice of on-premise and public clouds simultaneously depending on the business needs. This is where the concept of the Lean Cloud comes in - resting on the idea that you often need to relocate your app modules over their life cycles for both innovation and operational efficiency in the cloud.

In his session at @DevOpsSummit at19th Cloud Expo, Valentin (Val) Bercovici, CTO of SolidFire, discussed how to leverage this concept to seize on the creativity and business agility to make it real.

The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch. DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential.
@DevOpsSummit will expand the DevOps community, enable a wide sharing of knowledge, and educate delegates and technology providers alike. Recent research has shown that DevOps dramatically reduces development time, the amount of enterprise IT professionals put out fires, and support time generally. Time spent on infrastructure development is significantly increased, and DevOps practitioners report more software releases and higher quality.

When shopping for a new data processing platform for IoT solutions, many development teams want to be able to test-drive options before making a choice. Yet when evaluating an IoT solution, it's simply not feasible to do so at scale with physical devices. Building a sensor simulator is the next best choice; however, generating a realistic simulation at very high TPS with ease of configurability is a formidable challenge.

Question: Do these make parents LAZY?
Total Votes: 192
I always see parents using these as a way to control their children. Personally I think it makes it look like you are treating your children like animals. There are those moments where your kids will just run off. But if you can teach your kids to stay by your side and hold your hand, then that is the best way. Why would you want to put a leash on your child?
some kids won't hold hands and some kids with developmental disabilities or disorders can't be taught to just hold hands.
No this gives kids to have a little freedom, without them wondering off. Lots of kids do not like to hold hands so I do not see nothing wrong with this especially in a big crowded area.
I'm a tattooed, free spirited, CIO, circumcision, delayed vax, pro-life, anti flu shot, hiking, beach bum, early potty training, snuggling, video gaming, art therapy, natural remedies, natural health, Jesus is my home boy, Artist, sarcastic mom!
See I see it a different way. It gives kids no freedom to explore. I just dont agree with the use of these things..
No they don't make me a lazy parent. I am not a stuck up snob worrying about what anyone else thinks. This item makes me a better and more responsible parent because i care about my childs life and will not take a chance of my child out of my site if she runs off. Or someone grabbing my child in a crowd out of my hand. We went to a lake the past 5 yrs for family reunion and this thing came in handy. My child runs off if she gets a chance. She was one and two when i used it. Im not gonna take a chance. I care about my child. Not what others think of this object on my child. Screw them!! You might wanna rethink the benifits of this item before you judge!!
I used one when my daughter was two and three. She just moved a hell of a lot faster than I could in a manual wheelchair.... sorry my parenting decisions are not up to par with what you deem to be acceptable. I am far from lazy by the way, just not able to walk and have limited use of my arms as well.....
I was not intending to call anyone LAZY on this post, I wanted your opinion on if it does make a parent lazy if they use them. We just choose not to use this on our children, we believe our children should be aloud to run around and be free, where it is safe. When we go to a crowded place, we make our daughter hold our hand. We live by a busy street so it was pretty easy to teach her to hold our hands.
I swore up and down that I would NEVER EVER EVER use one. Then my normally laid back, well listening son who was just over 2 started bolting. He hated being in the stroller. He would wiggle out of my hand or just refuse to hold hands. I was flying for the very first time, it was just the two of us going on the trip & we had to travel through two very busy airports. Being a "lazy parent"/ treating my kid like an animal/whatever else is said about these things was WAY better than losing my 2 year old in a crowded airport because he bolted away.
wow.. sorry for the major typos! lol
I am glad it worked for you Splatz. I dont know, I just dont see myself using one.

USA Sprint Signs Deal to Boost Rural LTE Coverage
Published on: 27th Mar 2014
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
USA based Sprint says that it has reached an agreement that should see the deployment of its LTE coverage expanded into rural parts of the country.
Sprint says that it is working with the CCA (Competitive Carriers Association) and NetAmerica Alliance to allow existing regional mobile networks have low-cost access to Sprint's nationwide network and the ability to purchase a wider range of devices.
The companies said that the CCA program and NetAmerica Alliance agreement will foster the deployment of LTE coverage throughout underserved American communities, where the cost of building such networks and the roaming costs are often prohibitively expensive.
To facilitate roaming between these networks, beginning in January 2015, Sprint plans to offer LTE devices that will include a chipset allowing the devices to roam on the lower 700MHz spectrum primarily in use by CCA and NetAmerica Alliance Members.
CCA members will leverage the CCA-developed central data hub as a clearinghouse for participating CCA members to complete simple, commercially sustainable, individually negotiated, reciprocal roaming agreements with Sprint.Meanwhile, NetAmerica Alliance Members will be able to access the Sprint network, have immediate access to select Sprint devices, and use Sprint's spectrum.
In return, Sprint customers will have access to NetAmerica Alliance Members' LTE networks, which is expected to improve Sprint's services for its own customers nationwide.
"This is a landmark day for the rural carrier market and for the rural consumer," said Roger Hutton, Chairman and CEO of NetAmerica. "Through the Sprint and NetAmerica shared network alliance, we are providing the 4G LTE mobile solution rural carriers so desperately need to compete and we are delivering on our promise to let rural consumers live and work where they choose without compromise."

O'Malley, Ehrlich focus on specific areas as governor's race nears end
Friday, October 29, 2010; 11:15 PM
After a pair of polls showed Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) trailing badly in his bid to win his job back, the former Maryland governor retreated last week to the back patio of a blue-collar pub in the heart of his political base.
Speaking at an event where he was surrounded by die-hard Baltimore County supporters, Ehrlich gave marching orders to Joe Sliwka, a campaign aide who was seated next to Ehrlich's parents on a metal bench.
To offset the advantage Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) has in the Washington suburbs, Ehrlich told Sliwka, he expects to win 58 percent of the votes in Baltimore County, a vast improvement over four years ago.
"Or more!" Sliwka, Ehrlich's campaign coordinator for the county, shot back.
As the race draws to a close, the two major gubernatorial candidates are largely focused on winning over two different Marylands.
A Washington Post analysis of more than 500 appearances by the candidates and their running mates over the past 90 days shows O'Malley has spent the most time trying to energize voters in reliably Democratic jurisdictions. Ehrlich is concentrating on the Baltimore suburbs and trying to drive up turnout in the less populated but more conservative eastern and western regions of the state. An early push to make inroads in Montgomery County seems to have stalled.
If enough voters turn out for O'Malley in the heavily Democratic Washington suburbs and in Baltimore, he is all but guaranteed a second term. Since Aug. 1, O'Malley and his running mate have shown up at nearly 180 events in Montgomery and Prince George's counties and Baltimore - nearly three times as many as the Ehrlich ticket.
"This election, more than any other, is all about turnout," Ehrlich said in an interview. "You have to pump up your base, and you hope to get to better numbers in the Washington suburbs than last time."
Ehrlich's only path to victory at this point hinges on phenomenal turnout from the five suburban counties that ring Baltimore - coupled with historically weak showings for a Democratic incumbent in the areas where he should be strongest. One of every four of Ehrlich's campaign stops has been in Baltimore County since Aug. 1.
The importance of the region will be evident Saturday morning as Ehrlich, a former congressman from the area, kicks off the final weekend of his comeback campaign in Dundalk with a rally meant to showcase the Republican's strength with conservative Democrats.
There has been no greater disparity in time spent by the two campaigns than in Prince George's, the state's largest majority African-American jurisdiction.
As of Friday, O'Malley and Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown (D), a former Prince George's delegate, had made 70 appearances in the county since Aug. 1, including both campaign stops and visits billed as part of their official duties.

Celebs debate on where and how to draw the line while using social media
Pop star Madonna recently courted trouble when she posted defaced images of icons like Nelson Mandela on Instagram, to make them look like the cover of her upcoming album. the guide asked a few famous Indian faces about where and how to draw the line while using social media.
What was the noise about?
Recently, Madonna faced backlash when she put up altered images of iconic personalities like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Princess Diana and Bob Marley among others on her Instagram account.
Their faces were wrapped in black cords to resemble the artwork of her upcoming album, Rebel Heart. Such was the online furore that the Pop star had to tender an apology. Pic Courtesy instagram.com/madonna
Dia Mirza
Social media and its use by public personalities and the values attached to such media are personal. While I attach importance to sensitivities and am cautious of what I say, how I say it and what images I put up, I do not believe that everyone must do so. Many people treat social media as a platform that brings forth a very personal voice and some use it for marketing/promotion, making their voice a very public one.
Malini Agarwal
Celebrity blogger
I think there are a lot more important and pressing issues in the world than what Madonna or Rihanna post on Instagram, that people should be getting riled up about. Like women's safety in India, for instance? Let's focus our collective energies on addressing the real issues and let entertainers express themselves.
Nishka Lulla
Fashion Designer
Social media has taken over people's lives. To me, platforms like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook are very personal where I share my work, interests and passion. Before posting anything online, I always consider the censor that one needs to beware of while exposing one's life to the public. Since celebrities, in a way are opinion leaders and can easily influence people, one must be quite clean with the content uploaded.
Meiyang Chang
There's a fine line between creativity and blasphemy. We live in an increasingly intolerant world where we take offense to anything and everything. Having said that, we take our Gods and heroes very seriously and one needs to be careful about how they get portrayed. Madonna's latest hashtag is objec-tively brilliant. I'm sure she knew the risks when she used iconic figures like Mandela to promote her album. She is right and she is wrong. If there is freedom of speech, surely there must be freedom of social media (which is a murky territory). It boils down to carefully considering what you post, but not with the constant sword over your head.
Cyrus Sahukar
The best way to judge a photograph posted on social media is by two things — intent and action. I don't believe Madonna's intent was to hurt people, but in action, I am sure it is disrespectful in many ways. When I post a photograph, I am careful of the way it will be received by others. Honestly, I don't like to forward photographs of celebrities with strange captions; not that I have a problem with it, but rarely have I seen the humour in it. The minute it causes harm to those involved or those who truly believe in them, it's uncalled for. It's never about the photog-raph as much as it's about the intent or the tone of the person posting it.
Ravinder Singh
Of course, there is a line that needs to be drawn while using social media. In fact, celebrities should be a lot more responsible when using it. Freedom of expression is the flavour of this week. But that comes along with a code of conduct; with responsibility. Madonna quoting Mandela's and King's work/views isn't bad. What's in bad taste is that she customised their pictures to suite her needs (injecting in people's mind that she and they are at the same level). While posting pictures, I believe in no plagiarism (I quote the author/source). I'm responsible for what I post and ensure that it is not in a bad taste.

Heya, gtaforums community
After some years i have started playing and modding San Andreas again and i've come across some issues with my models.
First off, i use gmax 1.2 and kams script, OS is win7.
Now, the first problem is that, say, i created a 4 door car, ingame all doors work fine but if you look through the rear left door the rear right door is invisible, through the backwindow the left rear door is invisible and if you open the doors you see that they actually work fine. Very confusing, i will try to post a pic for clarification later!
Second problem, the boat-mobile i created (like the vehicles from Spongebob!) appears just fine ingame except that the actual chassis is mirrored. I have checked the normals and reset all pivot points of all dummies and objects but still turns out mirrored.
And finally, a problem that's been the worst of all so far because it hugely limits my possibilities when creating models. I cannot create custom collision, not in gmax and not with the coll editor. Whenever i try to include a custom collision i created either in coll editor or in gmax, i get an error message (rollout handler exception: undefined to type:integer) upon exporting.
I really hope that an experienced modder will know his way around these issues.
Thank for any help, especiall yon the final question.

Chapter Nine - Darwinism
EVERY intelligent person knows, or ought to know, that Darwinism and the theory of evolution are not by any means the same; they are not synonyms. The latter expression is much larger, more inclusive than the former. Organic evolution means that animals and plants, the human race included, have come about through a long process of natural development, not necessarily in any particular manner, but somehow, we cannot know how. Darwinism undertakes to tell how. Charles Darwin's grandfather was a strong evolutionist. Accordingly, when Charles Darwin came to write his now famous book, he did not attempt to prove organic evolution; not at all. He took that for granted; and merely undertook to show how this wonderful process of organic development has probably come about. Because of all this, we find scientists using the term Darwinism only in the narrower sense, as applying to Darwin's theory of "selection," which was his particular explanation of how organic evolution came about.
What is meant by natural selection, or the survival of the fittest?
|Darwin recognized that, if his theory was to explain the origin of
plants and animals, it must explain all their wonderful structures and
the wonderful adaptation of these structures to the needs of the organisms,
and must include everything about man, along with the other living things.
Survival of the Fittest
According to Darwinism, the giraffe was not made originally with a long neck adapted to browsing off the limbs of trees. No; he has a long neck and can browse off the limbs of trees because some of his ancestors happened (by a lucky variation) to develop long necks and long front legs, and so were able to survive by reaching food which was quite out of the reach of the other animals. Hence these other animals in competition with the giraffe all died off in the fierce struggle for existence (which Darwin always pictured the state of nature to be), while the giraffe was the lucky survivor.
According to Darwinism, the honey bee was not created with peculiar organs and an instinct for gathering honey. Not at all; but one of the bee's ancestors that happened to have a long proboscis and that happened to learn how to use this organ in gathering honey from flowers, was lucky enough to survive; while the other insects that were not so well adapted to the necessities of the situation all died off.
According to Darwinism, man was not originally created as an intelligent
"To have dominion over sea and land;
Not by any means. But some of man's apelike ancestors happened to have more wit than their companions, and were able to live by their wits instead of by their muscles alone. So they survived and left descendants, while the others were beaten down in the awful struggle for existence, and all died off.
Thus Darwinism pictures man as coming to be what he now is merely because he was better able to survive, even, when necessary, at the expense of the lives of others who were his companions.
Evidently not much room for altruism and unselfishness in such a system of things.
Dispensing with Divine Design
|This method of explaining all the structures, all the organs, and all the natural instincts of plants and animals, including man, is of the very essence of Darwinism. The latter was essentially a purely mechanical and non-purposive explanation of the adaptations in nature. It was as directly as possible opposed to the watchmaker" explanation of Paley and other students of design in nature. Teleology is the term used to mean the doctrine of design throughout nature; and as Thiselton-Dyer, the English botanist, once expressed it, Darwin swept away "the whole of Paley's teleology, simply dispensing with the supernatural explanation, -- Linnæan Society (1908), p. 37.
J. Arthur Thomson, in his usual pungent style, has expressed this characteristic
of Darwin's theory as follows:
"Tone it down as you will, the fact remains that Darwinism regards animals as going upstairs in a struggle for individual ends, often on the corpses of their fellows, often by a blood-and-iron competition, often by a strange mixture of blood and cunning, in which each looks out for himself and extinction besets the hindmost."
|Huxley expresses the same idea in the following words:
"For his successful progress as far as the savage state, man has been largely indebted to those qualities which he shares with the ape and the tiger."
These cruel and heartless habits of man's apelike ancestors became in
reality the bloody ladder by which man climbed into his present position
of dominance at the head of the animal kingdom. Evidently, nature has always
put a high premium on selfishness and ruthlessness; for the ones that had
these characteristics best developed always got the big prizes in the struggle
for existence. They left descendants like themselves; the rest were killed
off or died out. As John Fiske has expressed it:
"Those most successful primitive men from whom civilized peoples are descended must have excelled in treachery and cruelty, as in quickness of wit and strength of will."
These excerpts may suffice to show the ethical or moral bearings of Darwin's theory. This does not imply that an almighty, allwise Creator could not have developed plants, animals, and men by this sort of process through a heartless struggle for existence. I suppose He could. But it needs no argument to show that the creatures who were made by this heartless process could not very well be expected to develop any great love for such a maker -- I will not say Creator. Evidently a good many explanations would be necessary on the part of the Darwinists before such a theory could be reconciled with the Christian doctrine of a God of love. Darwinists have many of them claimed to believe in a God. New Testament Christians, however, have always had difficulty in recognizing in the God of Darwinism those characteristics with which they have become familiar in such passages as John 3:16 and 17: 23.
Darwinism a Libel on God
We are not here concerned with the larger aspects of the problem of evil and its origin. This problem will be considered in Chapter X. Even the moral bearings of Darwinism can be spoken of here only to the brief extent of pointing out that Christians have considered Darwin's explanation as a real libel on the God of the Bible. When Darwin's book first came out, Haeckel hailed it as an "Anti-Genesis"; a half century of discussion has not only confirmed this, but has shown it to be even more truly an "Anti-New Testament."
But we are here chiefly concerned with the scientific aspects of Darwin's theory. Darwin was always very ostentatiously can-did in saying that, "if it could be demonstrated that any com-plex-organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down." -- "Origin," 5th ed. (1869), p. 227.
While he was yet alive two men, Spencer and Mivart, took him at his word, and brought forward many specific examples which could not thus be accounted for. Since their time the work has gone forward, though a large portion of the discussion has gone on behind almost closed doors, that is, in the technical journals and the technical books, which are almost wholly unknown to the people educated along other lines. However, the work of refuting Darwinism has been very completely accomplished; so much so that John Burroughs, just before he died, wrote that Darwin had been "shorn of his selection theories as completely as Samson was shorn of his locks." -- Atlantic Monthly, August, 1920, p. 237.
The "Arrival of the Fittest"
Much of this discussion has been made to turn on an apparent duel between
the doctrine of acquired characters (known as Lamarckism) and that of natural
selection. Each of these ideas has a few scattering advocates; but most
biologists have discarded both of them, at least so far as serving as an
explanation of organic evolution is concerned. No one denies that in a
somewhat mild way there is a competition for a good supply of food or other
opportunities of existence. The Christian says that this is not the normal,
but a wholly abnormal, condition among living things; but he adds
that such a struggle could never explain any tendency toward advancement;
for struggle for existence, hardship, and privation among animals and plants
do not develop, they degrade, they tend to bring about degeneration
of the type. The scientist adds that Darwinism "may explain the survival
of the fittest, but it can never explain the arrival of the fittest." As
for the inheritance of acquired characters, which Herbert Spencer pinned
his faith to so tenaciously, it does not seem to happen. It seems to be
a pseudo-scientific idea, like perpetual motion or spontaneous generation.
|During the last quarter of a century, Mendelism has arisen, has grown strong, and seems almost to have put all other evolutionary theories off the map. We have already considered this phase of the subject in Chapters II and III. The present attitude of progressive scientists regarding natural selection may be indicated by the recent address of J. Playfair McMurrich, at the Cincinnati Meeting of the American Association, December, 1923, when he said regarding natural selection:
"The biological world of today does not ascribe to that factor the importance that Darwin gave it. ... It is difficult to believe that many of the minute differences that distinguish species have selective value."
Also at the corresponding Liverpool Meeting of the British Association, 1923, A. G. Tansley, in his Presidential Address before the Botanical Section, declared:
"In regard to a multitude of characters, there is not only no proof, but not the smallest reason to suppose that they have now, or ever did have, any survival value at all."
A Fallen Idol
Another leading biologist, J. T. Cunningham, in a recent communication, declares that he considers "the theory of natural selection to be obsolete." He goes on to say that he holds this positive opinion in spite of the fact "that many naturalists still believe in the theory in America and elsewhere." But he coneludes with the remark: "I venture to say that few who have made a special and practical study of evolution, and are well acquainted with recent progress in that study, have much faith in natural selection." -- Nature, March 3, 1923.
I may be permitted to conclude this chapter with some remarks taken
from my "Phantom of Organic Evolution" (1924):
|"We may safely conclude from all this that a great idol has tumbled
down, an idol which, while it stood on its feet, was clamorously praised
and worshiped by more atheists and more enemies of the Bible than ever
bowed before the ancient Baal or Apollo. Even in its ruined state we see
belated reverence still addressed to the place in biology where it once
stood; and belated hymns are still being chanted for it by such people
as the Marxian socialists, and the teachers in the grammar schools and
the high schools of America. Even the psychologists are still using miniatures
of it in the class room, while the 'progressive' theologians keep on voicing
the eulogies in its praise which they learned from the hod-carriers of
natural science, when the latter were first constructing its shrine a full
generation ago.
"But for the scholars of the world, the ones who persist in thinking for themselves, and who form their conclusions only on facts and still more facts, the niche is vacant where once stood that golden 'Anti-Genesis,' as Haeckel once called it. And while some are sorrowfully groping around for something to put in the vacant place, the majority are directing their eyes upward to that inscription in the heavens, ' In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.'"

2012 NFL Mock Draft: Underrated Prospects You Can Count on to Dominate in NFLMarch 13, 2012
The beauty of the NFL Draft is that there are always diamonds in the rough. Teams just never know what they will find, and how much of an impact that player will have on their future.
Past underrated prospects like Tom Brady and Marques Colston have proved the naysayers wrong over the years, showing that even though they were taken incredibly late, they still can become dominate NFL players.
The following prospects should follow in the same suit, as they have a chance to rise from nothing to become something special.
Russell Wilson, QB (Wisconsin)
While it remains to be seen if the elusive Wisconsin Badgers quarterback will get taken in this year's NFL Draft, he definitely possesses all the skills to make a great pro QB.
This past season, the 5'11" passer threw for 3,175 yard while completing 33 touchdowns and just four interceptions. He wasn't bad on the ground either, as he ran for 338 yards and six touchdowns on 79 carries.
Wilson has a chance to shock many, and likely won't even get a real chance until someone goes down during the season. If Wilson is given that opportunity, he should run away with it to impress people.
His height is definitely his biggest weakness, but he has the ability to electrify those who watch him at work.
Donald Stephenson, OT (Oklahoma)
Stephenson isn't getting a whole lot of love as he is currently ranked No. 17 amongst all offensive lineman, but he lit things up at this year's combine as he led the pact in many of the different categories.
Teams are always looking for a strong lineman, and there is no doubt that is what the Sooners' OT provides. We have seen time and time again that the dominant players at this position can come from anywhere in the draft, and Stephenson won't be any different.
Stephenson is currently looking like a late-round pick, but he will likely satisfy any team that finds him sitting around late in the draft.
Gerell Robinson, WR (Arizona State)
At 6'3" and 227 lbs., Robinson is one of the bigger receivers available in this draft. This past season with the Sun Devils, he had 77 receptions for 1,397 yards and seven TDs. Not to discredit quarterback Brock Osweiler, but just imagine what this kid could do with a consistent passer throwing the ball to him.
Robinson will have to battle his way into the talk of teams, but there is no doubt that this kid could be a real threat on any team's offense for years to come.
His size is there, and he has the ability to make big time plays. It is just a matter of him getting a shot. Height is a huge plus in this league, and any team would likely be happy to give a guy like Robinson a shot to shine.
George Iloka, FS (Boise State)
Despite being one of the higher ranked safeties in the draft, Iloka is still projected to fall to the late second, early third round.
For a player at his caliber, that is quite a drop which would make him a steal for any team looking for some additional help in their secondary.
Iloka stands at 6'4" and 222 lbs, which makes him one big man for opposing teams to get by. With the Broncos, Iloka proved to be a solid contributor week-in and week-out, so one should expect the same from him at the next level.

Peter's Cartridge Company is a former smokeless ordnance and shot shell ammunition factory in Kings Mill, Ohio.
The beginnings of Peter's Cartridge Company began during the American Civil War, when J.W. King cased bullets and cannonballs for the Union Army.5
In 1877,1 2 J.W. King and his nephew, Ahimaaz King, constructed a powder mill along the Little Miami River titled The Great Western Powder Company.4a The 71-acre complex was powered by a hydroelectric power station and was located on the site of a former grist mill. The first batches or ordnance was produced in part because of a large surplus of mortar powder left over from the Civil War that the government had stored away.4a King purchased 832,000 pounds at a steep discount and added saltpeter to the mix that was then marketed for rifles.
On July 15, 1890, a train car collided with two load cars that were packed with 800 kegs of gun powder along the Little Miami Railroad, which caused an explosion that could be heard six miles away.2 4a 5 In a chain reaction, an additional 800 kegs of powder exploded. Eleven employees were killed instantly, with others dying later at a hospital. Many of the buildings on the site, nothing more than timber-framed structures, were destroyed.
The company expanded north across Grandin Road during World War I with temporary wood-framed structures due to increased demand for ammunition.2 After the war, the buildings were demolished. In 1916, much of the plant was rebuilt with reinforced concrete and any remaining wood-framed buildings were torn down. The project included the construction of a large smokestack and shot tower, where shot balls were formed by free-falling molten lead into cool water.5
Decline and Closure
In 1934, the Remington Arms Company purchased Peter's Cartridge and the manufacture of smokeless powder continued until the near end of World War II in 1944.1 2 4b The plant was then reused by Columbia Records division of RCA, who mixed plastic materials and manufactured phonograph record disks from 1944 to 19482/1953.5 During the 1950's, Seagrams Distillers used the property as a bonded warehouse, followed by a small cabinet company that used a portion of the site in the 1970's.
The buildings were purchased by the Landmark Renaissance Corporation in 1979 and the facility was renamed the Kings Mills Technical Center.2 LensCrafters leased a part of the property for the manufacture of eyeglass lenses and frames from January 1987 to December 1991, while other smaller companies owned or leased other buildings on the site.
On October 10, 1985, the facility was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
In 1987, as part of an environmental assessment for the center, lead contamination was discovered in the soil at depths from one to 12 feet.2 Fill materials including boiler ash and slag were found buried in layers from seven to 12 feet. As a result, monitoring wells were installed throughout the property in December 1987. This led to the detection of lead at .52 milligrams per liter (mg/l), well above the maximum contaminant level of .015 mg/l. The grounds were asphalted over in 1993 to prevent direct contact with the lead contaminated soil.
The Ohio EPA conducted an expanded site inspection in May 1999 that involved collecting sediment, ground water and fish tissue.2 Elevated lead levels were discovered along the Little Miami River, a National Wild and Scenic River that contains a fishery and several municipal drinking water wells.
In 2007, 56 acres of the property, including a portion of the Little Miami Bike Trail, was purchased by Hamilton Township using a Clean Ohio grant.1 It could only be used as green space under the terms of the grant.
On July 16, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency outlined a $5 million plan to clean the grounds of the factory through the federal Superfund program.1 The plan called for the removal of 32,000 cubic yards of soil and sediment from the site which would then be replaced by clean fill. The contaminated soil would then be placed on an impermeable synthetic liner on a three-acre site on a flat section of the property, topped with clean dirt and vegetation. Funding for the cleanup was derived from DuPont,1 who purchased 60% of Remington stock in 1933 before fully acquiring the company in 1980.3 It became a wholly-owned subsidiary of DuPont.
In May 2014, Bloomfield / Schon + Partners proposed a $20 million to $30 million conversion of the Peter's Cartridge factory into an apartment complex.5 The Walnut Hills, Cincinnati-based developers stated that the 100 loft-style units could be completed within a three-year timetable[/stag_one_half] [stag_one_half_last]


text: I exchanged a couple of emails with Alan today, he enlightened meto a few things. I have an idea to fix the lazy deallocation ofpage tables.The idea involves 2 changes:First, we'd add a pointer to the task_struct and allocate a pageof RAM upon task creation. The page of RAM would be a tablewhich retained usage counts for PGD's, making them a fast cinchto clean up on the x86 architecture. Since Alphas and other 64 bit archs have a PMD that isn't folded,you have to implement a check-on-zap loop that would check andsee if a PMD is empty when zap is called AND:if (address < end) { free the PMD} else { for (i=0; i<PTRS_PER_PMD; i++) { if (pmd[i]) goto cont; } free the PMDcont:} The above frees a PMD if the page boundary is guaranteed to change (addressis less than end, address is += size of RAM PMD can track). The else getssmall mappings or the remnants of mappings.You would only have the above for 3 tier architectures, but it's justifiable:A 3 tier arch can represent more data per a tableBecause of the above, less PMD checks would be needed3 tier processors typically have more horsepower because they have instructions which would optimize the ugliness above.Perhaps that justification isn't acceptable to some. The PGD tracking solutionis much more elegant and addresses the 90th percentile of Linux users andaddresses the x86 arch which typically has less RAM per machine, hence it'smore valuable.Anyhow, each time we allocate a PTE within a PGD, we increment the usagecount at pgd_usage[pgd pointer >> SOME_SHIFT_CONSTANT]. When we freea pgd, we decrement it. We check the count to see if it's 0 in zap_page_rangeand free the dir if it is. On the x86, we can only have 768 PGD pages, soon page can represent all their usage counts. On the 64 bit archs, wemay not be able to represent all the PGDs in on page without bit shifting/encoding, please comment if you can answer that.So, I can real easily solve the x86 case, the 3 tier case involves a magnitudemore data and therefore may be better handled in an arch dependent way orvia my default algorithm.Please comment, as I'm very interested in solving this issue.Thanks,--Perry-- Perry Harrington Linux rules all OSes.

One of the most important elements of a tech ecosystem is the level of collaboration that takes place in the community. That's why Startup Weekend, a global event in which participants pitch their ideas, form teams, and build a viable product in only 54 hours, is such a valuable opportunity for entrepreneurs. More than 40 entrepreneurs registered for a recent Startup Weekend Idaho event, and event organizer Tribute Media lined up a keynote speaker for each day to guide and inspire participants.
On the first day of the event, participants had a chance to hear from Dale Dixon, president of Idaho's Better Business Bureau and a media veteran with over a decade of experience. Dixon focused his remarks on helping attendees sell their ideas and be successful in connecting with people.
Dixon encouraged attendees to be genuine in order to showcase their passions and inspire others. He used Steve Jobs's iPhone release speech as an example of how to give an effective presentation, highlighting 3 characteristics that helped Jobs inspire his audience.
1. Project confidence through your body language. Jobs didn't hide behind a podium; he exuded confidence by owning his space.
2. Use self-deprecating humor to help people connect with you. During his presentation, Jobs got a good laugh from the audience by talking about how Apple is going to reinvent the phone and then showing a picture of an iPod with a rotary phone dial. By making fun of himself, Jobs built a connecting point between himself and the audience.
3. Be simple. When presenting the iPhone, Jobs didn't describe every single feature. Instead, he simply repeated, "It's an iPod, it's a telephone, and it's an Internet communication device," several times for emphasis. Our minds like to process things in threes, and the simplicity of Jobs's description made it easier for the audience to remember the most important things.
Dixon encouraged participants to build confidence by focusing on how their business gives value to others. As entrepreneurs realize how their idea provides genuine value, it creates passion and pushes fear aside. He concluded by encouraging attendees to let their emotion and passion shine through when presenting their business pitch.

The Epic Mickey team consisted of a large number of staff. For that title, nearly 180 people were brought in.
Warren Spector's new project – which everyone believes is Epic Mickey 2 at this point – is made up of an even greater amount of employees. Spector told GamesIndustry, "we have over 700 people around the world working on our new game now."
