Nikon's Digitutor for the D600
Nikon's Brochure for the D600
Nikon's Sample Images for the D600
And Now the Question: D600, D700, or D800?
Sept 21, 2012--Here's the answer. If you're a D70, D70s, D80, D90, D7000 type of user: D600. If you're the D100, D200, D300 type of user: D800. Simple as that. Really? Not one of the last remaining D700's for those Dx00 users? No. While everyone keeps trying to say the D800 isn't the D700 followup they wanted, I'd argue it is, they just don't know it. Other than quality control, sliced any way you look at it the D800 is a phenomenal camera, and if you want 12mp, it's far better at 12mp than a D700. The usual comeback is that "but I don't want big files and I don't want to post process." Drives are cheap and Lightroom/Aperture pretty much took care of the post processing complaint a long time ago. (Well, okay, you have to learn to use Lightroom properly, which isn't quite as straightforward to learn as it could be, but it's a small investment of time.)
Both the D600 and D800 are remarkable cameras in different ways. Just as, in their time, the D90 and D300 were. It's the same exact relationship brought forward with substantive gains in both lines. It's Nikon's way, and I can predict that we'll have this same discussion when the D500 and D900 appear some day in the future.
Impressions and Depressions
Sept 20, 2012--My D600 still sits across the Atlantic awaiting my return, but I did have time to spend at the Nikon booth with both the camera and product managers. The few Japanese execs that are here are mostly in hiding (though I did find one trying to wander anonymously, though the white J1 he was carrying was what gave him away to me; that made me curious enough to look to see who this was, and lo and behold it was someone I knew ;~).
So let's start at the beginning, shall we? Nikon rotates executives on the way to the top through the Presidencies of the subsidiaries. Since Photokina falls in Europe, it's the current European President, Takami Tsuchida, who got to be front man for the opening press briefing. He basically told us what we already know, that Nikon wants to the number one brand in the imaging industry, in all product categories, in all regions. The American scene is deep in the midst of our quadrenial President elections, and I felt as if I was listening to another politician saying nothing. He did say Nikon had "the responsibility to provide the best service and support to end users..." How do we think they're doing on that? ;~) [By the way, as one of the journalists who helped instantiate the term "end user" into the vocabulary, I apologize. I was also responsible for the "it screams" word usage when writing about a product's speed, for which I was properly awarded a misuse of the English language award by fellow journalists. To hear a Nikon executive refer to customers as "end users" grated on my nerve, as it's so dispationate and uninvolving and shows how distant they are from those that buy their products, but I only have myself to blame establishing that phrase in the news magazine I edited back in 1980.]
I met with two of the European Product managers for Nikon. I really only had a couple of questions for them. One that I had already tried getting answered at the booth. It has been intimated that the D600 can output uncompressed video from the HDMI port, but unlike the D800, the D600 doesn't have the HDMI settings that allow you to pick whether the signal will be clean or overlaid. So the question I had (actually two related questions) was: how do you set the camera to record clean uncompressed video, or does the camera not put the LCD overlays on the HDMI output? The answer wasn't known. They promise to get back to me with the right answer. We'll see if they do. At this point I suspect that the D600 won't put out clean uncompressed video on the HDMI port. There are other video-related differences, to, as a few users are figuring out. Because the D600 is based on the D7000, it uses the D7000 aperture control, which doesn't allow real-time manual adjustment while recording video (tip: use a lens with an aperture ring ;~).
But clean HDMI or video capabilities were not the thing I had the biggest issue with. It's a new camera, after all, they subsidiaries have barely had it in their hands, too, and we're all trying to figure out what's different and what it does, and the complexity of high DSLRs means that it takes some time to figure that out (though if Nikon corporate would connect to and learn to think like customers better, a lot of this could be handling right at launch). Still, foregiveable.
No, the thing I had a problem with was the answer to a rather simple question: "so who do you see buying the D600?" The answer was "one key buyer will be the D7000 user who's using an 18-105mm lens deciding to go full frame with the D600 and 24-85mm lens." Okay, that may actually turn out to be somewhat true, as not all users are rational. But this quickly led us into the missing D300s replacement discussion.
Let me dissect Nikon's answer a bit. The user that they postulated about gains: 8mp, FX frame size (which has some advantages in dynamic range and noise all else measured equally), 2mm at the wide end, and not much else. They lose: 65mm of telephoto reach with their lens, a widely dispersed focus system for a tightly center one, and a lot of money. I'm not sure this person is better off. Nikon is clearly better off ;~). And there-in lies one of the primary customer complaints about Nikon these days: loyal users--some dating back 50 years or more--feel like they're on the short end of the stick. Technically, the D7000 user moving up would get fewer drawbacks from the D800 than the D600 (indeed, they'd have an almost exact DX experience with the new camera with their old DX lenses).
As I write further down, Nikon is being a little tricky with their rollouts. It's going to go D800, D600, D400, in that order. In terms of the best choice for the D200 or D300 user who's been waiting for a new camera, that's exactly backwards. Of course, you notice that the rollout is in descending order of price. So maybe Nikon picks up a few people with higher priced upgrades than they really need? Hey, we're still friends, right?
So most of our discussion in the time I had was centered around Nikon's product definitions versus customers wanted definitions. That spans from Coolpix to Nikon 1 to DX to FX, obviously, and it seemed to me that the more questions I asked, the more blind spots I was noting. Quick, what's the best way to get to 800mm on any Nikon? Nikon Europe's answer was well, maybe the 500mm with the TC-14E. Nope, try a V1 with the 70-300mm VR.
As I've noted before, I think that Nikon doesn't quite put out the products that some of us want because they actually don't see us as customers very well. The lack of wide angle DX lenses, the no clear follow-up to one of their most successful cameras (the D300), and much more. It may be because we're end users. Ugh (again, sorry).
Here's the thing: Nikon sees sales doing well, so they think they are making the right decisions. There's right and there's Right. Nikon's made a lot of good product and good decisions. But they're not getting everything right. Imagine what their sales would be if they did.
One of the interesting things here at Photokina is how obvious it is that Leica is listening closely to their users. They're not fixing problems overnight, but virtually every complaint Leica users have had seems to get addressed. Every complaint. (Well, okay, no more R series looks permanent, though Leica has moved to make R lenses work with the new M cameras.) That's the sort of attention Nikon end users, ahem, customers, would like to get.
D600 Buffer
Sept 14, 2012--I promised an answer, here it is. These are mamixums. I'll get into what that means in a moment.
Like all Nikons there are a lot of caveats. The buffer will never go beyond 100. You'll need to set JPEG Size Priority (default) to get the JPEG numbers; JPEG Optimal Quality will cut into those numbers a bit. Long Exposure NR will take an image off the buffer size. Auto Distortion Control will take as much as half the buffer. HI ISO values will steal some buffer. Remember that if you're not using state-of-the-art UHS-1 SD cards, you probably won't get these numbers either (they're from my 8GB SanDisk Extreme Pro). There may be other things that impact buffer but I haven't discovered them yet.
I don't think JPEG shooters are going to have any trouble with the buffer size. Best case they'll be shooting continuously for 10 to 18 seconds. Worst case, they'll still have probably a five second buffer. Raw shooters may need to watch settings carefully. I can see the camera getting to a buffer of 7 (r7 reported in viewfinder) when I set the camera in certain ways, which is barely over a second worth of buffer. I'm guessing that raw shooters will want to set 12-bit Lossless Compressed and turn off all the things that take buffer space (especially Auto Distortion Control), which should get them a bit short of four seconds of continuous shooting.
D600 Impressions
Sept 14, 2012--A lot of folk are asking the "should I get a D600 or D800" question and wanting my impressions. My initial impression is pretty much what I think Nikon intended: the D600 is an excellent FX entry choice, the D800 remains at the top of the heap, and the D4 has a very specific target user who needs high speed (in all the meanings of that word).
When the D3 was announced in 2007 we had exactly one FX choice: a D3. Eventually, we got another choice: the D700, which was a D3 in a prosumer body and didn't work at the high frame rates of the D3. Finally, we got the D3x, which was the top resolver. Curiously, with some obvious differences, still the same three choices as we now face today. Only difference is the pricing is far lower for two of the options (D600 and D800 versus D700 and D3x).
Yet I keep hearing the "D600 isn't a D700 replacement, and neither is the D800" complaint. I'm not sure I agree with that assessment. I think the complainers are looking a bit too much at the body build and not at the functionality and performance. If you want the D700 body build, buy a D800. If you want the D700 value proposition (and more performance than a D700 delivers), buy the D600.
As I've noted several times, the D600 is essentially the D7000 body build with FX guts. There's nothing particularly wrong with the D7000 build, IMHO. I've been using two as my wildlife cameras since they came out, and they hold up just fine to stress I throw at them. They do have an internal metal frame, after all. They do have some body sealing (though not quite as thorough as the higher models). The D600 is going to be the same: a pretty decent build, but not overbuilt and storm worthy. While a lot of folk have noted the lower weight and slightly smaller size of the D600 versus the D800, in practice the D600 is still a big camera and once you've put a lens on it will still be a lot of weight hanging from your neck strap. I don't buy the "it's a lighter smaller D800" arguments. Lighter and smaller is an Olympus OM-D E-M5 or a Nikon V1. DSLRs aren't small and light, not even a D3200.
People bemoaning the loss of the D700 also seem to be complaining about sensors. I don't know why. The D800 performs just fine, and it more than equals the D700 when downsized to 12mp. So if you like the D700 and want the "new camera," get a D800, as I write above. Realistically, the only thing you really lose is fps, but you also gain in buffer and card redundancy and a whole bunch of other things. And guess what? The D800 is the same price as the D700 was when it was introduced. Basically, I have to label this group the Pixel PooPooers. They think that more pixels made the D800 worse than the D700. They are wrong. Very wrong. It's a better camera in image quality than the D700.
Okay, how about the D600 as a D700 replacement? Well, here the thing people are usually pointing to is price. "For US$2300 I used to be able to get a D700, now I get a D600 at US$2100 but lose a lot of body quality." Wait a couple of years. The D600 will be well under US$2000 ;~). You can't really compare end-of-life pricing to introduction pricing. Well, you can, but this is a lot like automobile end-of-year sales. You can get the older model with last year's technology for less money, but this year's latest-and-greatest is going to cost more. The question here becomes: is the latest-and-greatest worth giving up the bargain pricing on last year's model?
I think so. But the final determination will be when I can really take the camera through its paces and look at image quality. Where the camera makers are finding resistance--and the D600 is a perfect example--is in the addition of features that the buyer might not want or need. Video, for instance. The D700 isn't a video camera. The D600 is a very high-end video camera. But if you don't care about video, then this addition has no value to you. Even the pixel count push gets old after awhile for many. If they're happy with the results they're getting from their 12mp cameras, why do they need 16mp, 24mp, or 36mp? That question has a better answer than the "why do they need video" question, though: more sampling is always better, all else equal. It's similar to the thing Apple is doing with Retina displays: more is truly better if used properly. It can be visibly better. Even printing a 12mp and 24mp image at 8x10" you should see some benefits to the 24mp image: it should have more acuity.
Overall, I like the D600. It's a "value" camera. Yes, it has some trade-offs. But it also packs a lot into something that is (currently) the low price FX champion.
The bigger question here is still "DX or FX?" Yep. Still the question most people should be asking themselves (and maybe even "mirrorless or DX or FX?"). But Nikon's being a bit tricky. Note the D800 came before the D600. Which will come before the D400/D7200 DX refresh. They want you to consider the higher priced models and jumping upwards first before they tell you what's in store for you at the lower levels. At the lowest levels (D3200/D5200), it's always been easy to predict how they distinguish those cameras. It's the D70/D80/D90/D7000 and D100/D200/D300 continuations that have been a little more difficult to predict. So Nikon gave all you enthusiasts a choice of D800 or nothing at the start of the year. Now they've added something one notch lower (the D600). Come February I suspect we'll get the next notch (e.g. D400 and/or D7200).
Frankly, this one-at-a-time approach from the top is not customer friendly. Indeed, it might be considered customer antagonistic. If Nikon isn't aware of the dissatisfaction of the D300 users right now, they're not paying attention. If they are, then they're showing disrespect to their customers. Neither of those are good.
I started this with the "should I get the D600 or D800" question. Now that I've gone through a few of the sub-texts that are being considered by the questioners I'll get to my answer.
The real question here is the (in the US) US$900 price differential. If you can afford that, there's no question that the D800 is the better camera. Better build, great sensor with significantly more sampling, solid pro-type features (e.g. banks), faster flash sync (up to 1/320 versus 1/200), and more. If they were the same price you'd always pick the D800. So it's really whether you see US$900 of price difference or not.
But here's the thing: the D600 is a D3x in a D7000 body for about 30% the price. If you're price conscious and don't treat your camera's roughly, the D600 does seem to be a good value and a way to get into FX relatively inexpensively. You've got enough pixel power to produce 20" prints (at 300 dpi). You've got reasonable mid-range performance in terms of focus, fps, and more. You lose dedicated buttons for ISO, WB, QUAL, and BKT, but if you learn how to manage your camera right, those buttons are still available (plus there's always the info button for fairly direct access to almost all critical settings).
The D600 feels more "casual enthusiast" to me with the D800 being "dedicated enthusiast." The D600 shooter is more likely to be the weekend-only, or worse still, vacation-only shooter. The D600 shooter probably isn't trying to get to the highest pinnacle of photography, and is satisfied with "good images." The D800 is someone shooting all the time and trying to move to the next level.
The bottom line is that Nikon has given us two very good choices, and they have a price spread (outside of Europe ;~) that's about right for their differences. Personally, I can't wait to get my D600 out into the field and see what it can really do. Since I've shot with D7000's a lot recently, the D600 should prove to be a nice comfortable switch.
D600 Questions Answered (Don't Call Nikon ;~)
Sept 13, 2012--Nikon took a bit of time to get brochures and other information out (at least in English ;~), so quite few questions have been coming in about specific details. Here are the answers in one place:
And some longer questions and answers:
Again, think D7000 with FX sensor and you'll be pretty close to right on any question you can come up with.
Nikon Pricing
Sept 13, 2012--The D600 introduction brings up all kinds of pricing comments. Let me see if I can deal with them:
The Worst Kept Secret is Now Not Secret
Sept 13, 2012--In the worst kept secret in Nikon's long leaky history, Nikon today announced the FX D600. If you take a D7000 body and stick a 24mp FX sensor in it, you pretty much have the idea of this camera. Throw in a couple of D800 and D3200 goodies, and you have the full story.
Let's start with the D7000 nature of the camera. The autofocus sensor, shutter, meter, and most of the body form and controls are close to direct lifts from the D7000. That does introduce a few changes, though. Unlike the D7000, the D600 will be limited to 1/200 flash sync and a top speed of 1/4000 (likely due to the large sensor area that's being traversed). The shutter is still rated to 150k clicks, like the D7000.
Other D7000 bits you'll notice are the U1 and U2 positions on the Mode dial. Why is it that we have only two mid-range cameras that can store ALL the camera settings, but the pro models still don't have this? Can you say "asleep at the wheel?" I know Nikon has heard pros tell them they want this. So the fact that they only give that function to mid-range users means what? Sounds like a passive aggressive design stance towards customers to me.
Like the D7000 (and V1 and D800), the D600 takes the EN-EL15 battery. Hmm, now we know why there's been a battery shortage ever since the recall: Nikon themselves must be stockpiling them.
Some will be disappointed by the 39-position autofocus sensor instead of the 51-point version in the higher end cameras, but this is part of the parts re-use that allows Nikon to get the price down, and frankly, most of the targeted users for this camera probably focus in the center of the frame, anyway. It's a reasonable compromise, in my opinion, and likely to cut down on all the "it doesn't focus" complaints. (Or maybe not after the D800 fiasco.) We do, however, get f/8 focusing capability with a limited set of sensors, so it's not the exact D7000 autofocus sensor array, but an updated one.
From the D800 the D600 gets uncompressed video out the HDMI port and the timelapse recording function. Indeed, the video specs pretty much seem the same as all the other high-end Nikons these days, right down to allowing DX crop for video, too.
From the D3200 the D600 gets a WiFi adapter (unfortunately, not the same exact one, but the new WU-1b, basically the same thing for the D600 USB port). This is a very welcome accessory with one small caveat (okay, huge liability): it works only with Nikon-supplied software for Android or iOS devices. I can't say that I've been overly impressed with the D3200 implementation for Android, and we're still waiting for the iOS version. We really need someone to reverse engineer the protocol being used and write a real app (as well as some good Windows and Macintosh desktop applications).
All of which brings us to the sensor: a 24mp CMOS sensor that almost certainly is made by Sony (and used in Sony's own upcoming RX1, A99, and VG900 cameras). That translates into 6016 x 4016 pixel FX images, 3936 x 2624 (10.3mp) for the DX crop. Just to be clear: the FX size is big enough to give you 300 dpi on the largest print you can make with a desktop inkjet printer (19"). Nikon is rating this sensor with a base ISO of 100 and a top of 6400 (with 50, 12800, and 25600 also being possible).
Other details you might find important to know: 100% viewfinder, 5.5 fps top frame rate, a new MB-D14 battery grip, GPS support, and the camera ships on September 18th, just in time for a bunch of people to bring theirs to Photokina (not me, I'll already be in Germany, so won't be able to pick up a camera in time). Yes, it shoots 14-bit raw (in all three possible compression/uncompressed options). No, it doesn't have 1.2x or 5:4 crops, only DX. Yes, it has two SD card slots. The camera body weighs in at 26.8 ounces, or 760g.
Unlike the rumor sites, I've been predicting for nearly six months that this body would come out at US$1999, and at US$2499 for a kit (with the new 24-85mm), not the US$1500 mark that seems to have generated so much leak excitement. I was off a bit: Nikon set the price at US$2100 for the body and US$2700 with the 24-85mm VR lens. Which makes you wonder where that rumored price and leaked details came from. Clearly the leaked details on the D600 have proven to be accurate, except for the price. One has to assume that these leaks came directly out of Nikon. Nikon knew they were flying another FX DSLR into a full frame market that was heating up with Sony's likely Photokina return to full frame. Was Nikon dulling the (also possibly intentional) Sony leaks, perhaps?
Whatever the case, the Nikon Rumors US$1500 suggested price was clearly not the real price from day one. That price would fly in the face of the way Nikon has structured its line and priced it in the past, would require a breakthrough in sensor costs, would rule out a D300s replacement and force price changes to the D7000, and would be leaving significant money on the table.
US$2100 is still slightly on the aggressive side, and it makes the D600 the lowest cost full frame sensor camera by a fair margin (the next closest being the Sony A99 (or RX1, your pick, both at US$2800). It certainly becomes the lowest cost traditional DSLR with a sensor sized the same as 35mm film, and all those legacy Nikkors now have a more affordable home.
So what else to make of the D600 announcement?
Well, first, it's probably the camera that most of the D800 purchasers should have bought. The casual user, and even quite a few of the serious enthusiasts, don't need 36mp, especially when they start putting the 28-300mm on the front. The 24-85mm VR and 28-300mm VR are much better matches to the D600. Indeed, the f/4 zooms also look pretty good for this camera (where's the 70-200mm f/4, Nikon?).
Update: It seems a few have objected to that last paragraph. I stand by it. The critical words are "especially" and "better matches." With a D800 and these two lenses, optimal optical results are achieved at a point where you're into the diffraction zone on a D800. When I measured the gain in resolution at 85mm f/11 between the D800 (36mp) and D3x (24mp), I got low single digit resolution gains. Is it worth paying US$900 more for a camera to get that gain if these are your choice of lenses? I say no. The D600 matches up better against these lenses: you can still stop down to f/8 and get good performance gains and about everything those lenses can deliver. Can you get a bit more with a D800? Sure, but it's the old many-dollars-for-little-gain problem.
I understand that people often buy more than they need. If that's what you want to do, fine. But my comments here were in the context of the value proposition of the FX bodies and lenses. The D600 matches up nicely against the 24-85mm and 28-300mm. The D800 matches up better against the 24-120mm and 24-70mm. I'm pretty sure that's what Nikon actually intended.

The compromises Nikon made to get the price significantly under the D800 are all very reasonable ones. We photographers get a bit spec-happy from time to time, and higher numbers seem to excite us way more than they should. There aren't any "higher numbers" in the D600, so be prepared to not be as excited as you were when the D800 was announced. But no worries; we have drugs for that these days.
All in all, the D600 seems very well rounded. Indeed, I believe it will start the FX revolution-for-the-mainstream pretty much the same way the D70 started the DX DSLR revolution-for-the-mainstream oh so many moons ago (106 moons, I believe; dang it, I've got to stop taking those pills that make me so anal ;~).
The one thing that Nikon does seem to always get really right from time to time is to create just the right camera for the budding enthusiast. This trend started back with the N90s, continued through the F100, and as I noted in the last paragraph hit the DSLR market with the D70. To some degree, the D300 and D700 could be said to fall in that category, too, though they both appealed to the very serious side of enthusiasts more than the slightly more casual group. The D600 once again hits that balance point very nicely, with no clear serious flaws in its design compromises (for the market it's intended for). It should do very well in the marketplace.
I came here to praise Nikon, not to bury it. Well, at least until the following paragraphs ;~)
What bothers me when Nikon designs a camera that hits the marketplace just about right like the D600 is why they can't do that with all their products (or at least most). At the top end (D300s, D800, D4) there are too many missing things and too many didn't ask for it things. At the bottom end (P7700, J1/J2/V2, D3200, D5100) there are too many of the wrong compromises, and too much of the wrong kind of hand holding. It's the Goldilocks's story over and over with Nikon, with only the cameras in the middle ever getting it "just (about) right." That would be, in recent history, the D300, D90, D700, D7000, and now the D600.
But let's put things in context for a moment. What Nikon DIDN'T announce in the pre-Photokina run-up that put them far away from Goldilocks's porridge and bed: any large sensor compact, the V2 (or my better Z1 idea), the D5200, the D7200, the D400, any truly meaningful Nikon 1 lens extensions, the 80-400mm replacement, any wide angle DX prime lens, and a host of other odds and ends. Oh, and an explanation about what happened with the D800 quality control and what's been done about it.
I've written earlier that Nikon's strategy seems to be to try any and everything. Gee, the D600 will sell like hotcakes, mostly because it's the right camera for the right audience. Why not try doing more of that? (THAT would be making the right cameras for the right audiences.) And then following that up with the right accessories, available upon launch of the camera, the right lenses, the right quality control, and the right support?

There are literally millions of older Wi-Fi equipment installations that cannot benefit from the newer WPA wireless protection encryption algorithms. Primarily because the equipment manufacturers have abandoned the equipment and no longer provide updated drivers / firmware upgrades. Some manufacturers build what are known as 'passphrase generators' into their equipment. This basically allows the user to enter an easily remembered phrase and the equipment generates the WEP key based upon an algorithm built into the equipment... and there lies the rub. Every manufacturer seems to do it a bit differently, if they do it at all.

WASHINGTON � President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel threatened tough sanctions Friday on broad swaths of Russia's economy if Moscow disrupts Ukraine's May 25 presidential elections, putting President Vladimir Putin on notice for harsher penalties even if he stops short of a full invasion.
Standing side by side in the White House Rose Garden, Obama and Merkel sought to bat down the notion of any discord between the U.S and European approaches to dissuading Putin from interfering in Ukraine. Obama said the U.S. and Europe have shown "remarkable unity" in their response so far, though he acknowledged that some European countries are vulnerable to Russian retaliation for sanctions and those concerns must be taken into account.
"The next step is going to be a broader-based sectoral sanctions regime," Obama declared, referring to entire segments of Russia's economy, such as energy or arms.
"If in fact we see the disruptions and the destabilization continuing so severely that it impedes elections on May 25, we will not have a choice but to move forward with additional, more severe sanctions," the president said.
While Obama and Merkel projected unity on Ukraine, there were clear differences between the two leaders over U.S. spying � a touchy issue that has exasperated much of the German public after revelations that the National Security Agency had eavesdropped on Merkel's phone calls.
Obama has vowed to end that practice, but a broader "no-spy" agreement sought by many in Germany hasn't panned out.
Obama insisted the U.S. doesn't maintain that type of an arrangement with any country.
Merkel said that "we have a few difficulties still to overcome," while Obama said there are "some gaps that need to be worked through."
The U.S. and the European Union both ordered sanctions against Russian officials and individuals following Moscow's annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, but they have stopped short of broader sectoral sanctions out of concern about ricochet effects on European countries that do business with Russia.
Previously, Obama had said a Russian military incursion in eastern Ukraine would lead to those penalties, but on Friday, the two leaders signaled they could take such action even if Russia limited itself to more furtive means of stoking unrest in neighboring Ukraine.

We're back with an all-new update from SeaWorld San Diego! Today we'll be taking a look at the extravagant SeaWorld Christmas Celebration event that runs through January 4th.
This event is by far the one I look forward to most at SeaWorld every year. And the decor just grows and improves every year! Because of the construction going on in the new entrance area, SeaWorld has gone all out with decorations at the temporary entrance.
New this year is a color-changing Christmas tree near the temporary entry. At two different times each night, the tree will illuminate with patterns and dramatic color changes.
It's a bit like a one tree version of the Orlando park's Sea of Trees. We sure would love to see that extravaganza move to San Diego next year.
Every year, the area in front of the Animal Encounters attraction holds several different activities.
Other activities include cookie decorating, a booth to purchase kettle corn, and Santa's Cottage.
Unfortunately, Santa has left his cottage for this Christmas, but he'll be back next December.
Between the Pet's Rule stadium and Snow World is an enchanting wintery walk-through area lit with hundreds of lights. Snow falls here at random times throughout the day.
And speaking of snow . . . Snow World, the extremely popular holiday attraction, returned this year as well.
Guests can play in the snow, play arcade-style snow ball games, and the little ones can go sledding . . .
Between Wild Arctic and the Penguin Encounter, you'll find a statue of penguins and polar bears trying to get the star on top of the tree.
And surrounding the Natallius Pavillion event area are these twinkling lights…
One of the cutest parts of the event is the Cat's Christmas Parlor, located on the side of the Pet's Rule stadium.
Of course the cats are asleep…
…but it's still worth a visit. !
The Calypso Smoke House has also been decorated for the season!
And while you're walking around the park, you'll notice that even the light fixtures have been decorated to fit the season…
The Mission Bay Theater, which houses the Madagascar Live! Operation: Vacation, has also been decorated, inside and out. The show has been renamed Madagascar Live! Operation: Christmas Vacation. The show ends with a Christmas song mash-up.
It seems that SeaWorld has heard the complaints of the lack of any sort of…well anything in the second half of the Manta ride. So this year, SeaWorld has added Christmas trees all over the area.
The trees around Shamu stadium are surrounded with these lights, which really give off a stunning effect, especially when watching the Shamu show and seeing them in the background.
The Shamu show has been given a couple visual and audio tweaks.
The changes include a new introduction, a slightly revamped soundtrack (which you may not even notice), and new visuals on the LED screens.
Overall, the SeaWorld Christmas Celebration is an exceptional delight. It's something that is a tradition for my family and we love watching the celebration grow and change every year.
Construction Central: Explorer's Reef!
Now, let's do a quick park update. There's a bit of news to share.
The walkways to the Shamu Stadium and to the SkyTower have been reopened with new pavement. Also, SeaWorld has released a new video on their YouTube channel, providing a sneak peek at the SeaWorld Store, a part of the new entrance, and will be opening on January 3rd! Take a look:
In addition, here is the last video covering the new construction for Explorer's Reef! It sure seems to be coming along quickly!
We'll have more on the new entrance in our next update, as we count down to its opening on March 21st!
That's it for todays update from SeaWorld. We will see you In The Parks
Now enjoy the latest episode of the Unofficial SeaWorld Podcast where Eric, Mike and Erin talk about SeaWorld Christmas at all 3 SeaWorld parks, and they share audio with Sr. Trainer Sara McGuire who spoke to the MiceChat.com meet up group on December 15th at the SeaWorld Orlando meet up.

The airplane carrying Scott Weiland from Los Angeles to Florida was forced to make an emergency landing in Dallas, Texas, on Friday after the rocker suffered a seizure onboard.
The Stone Temple Pilots frontman was on his way to Miami, Fla., when he experienced the health scare.
According to TMZ.com, the pilot landed the aircraft at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Weiland was taken to a local hospital for precautionary measures.
Weiland, who allegedly has a history of seizures, was hospitalized but subsequently released to attend the launch of his fashion line Weiland for English Laundry in Miami on Saturday.
A publicist insists the 41-year-old is feeling fine, confirming, "Scott is doing great."

In The Heresy Within, Jezzet is chased into the Wild by a vengeful warlord until she finally makes it to the sovereign city-state of Chade. But instead of sanctuary, she finds only more opportunistic bastards waiting to turn her over to her enemies. Also figuring majorly in the story is Thanquil Darkheart, a sorcerer hunter called an Arbiter, tasked with hunting down and purging heretics for the Inquisition. Thanquil is given a task by the God Emperor of Sarth, from which he has no escape.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
BEATEN, BATTERED, AND DAMN NEAR BROKEN with a bounty on his head so large he's tempted to turn himself in, the Black Thorn finds himself on trial for the crime of being him. Despite the impending probability of death, he has but one thought on his mind; taking revenge against the Arbiter who took his eye. In order to carry out his vengeance Thorn must first escape Sarth and recruit a new crew, each one with their own designs on revenge.
Separated and miserable, Thanquil Darkheart and Jezzet Vel'urn both have their reasons for wanting to leave the Dragon Empire. Jezzet flees from the wrathful fury of an empress scorned while accompanied by the ever insidious Drake Morrass, and Thanquil sets out to find and judge his one heretical loose end.

Recently, some scholars have made use of computer analysis to address the questions of who wrote the Federalist Papers and who wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews:
According to the article, the main way in which they pursued this task was to analyze vocabulary within the documents, which was then compared to the vocabulary within documents by known authors. That is quite useful. When I authored my book on Sarapion of Thmuis, I made use of a similar approach when arguing that he did, in fact, write the Letter to the Monks. It is important to remember, however, that it takes more than just common vocabulary. A stronger case can also be made if rhetorical patterns are common, for instance. In the case of Hebrews, although the computer-assisted scholars determined St. Paul was the most likely author of the candidates investigated, one needs to utilize other aspects of the text beyond vocabulary. Of course, computers can help with that too. I think it's fair to say that "digital humanities" has a long future before it.

Fresh off the worldwide success of her 1998 dance album Believe, Cher has done the unbelievable, at least by typical diva standards. Rather than immediately capitalize on her staggering comeback, she's recorded an album so comfortably personal she's titled it not.com.mercial. An Internet-only release, the deeply personal album features Cher writing and recording her own material for the first time in her three-and-a-half decade career. Topics addressed here by Ms. Cherilyn Sarkisian LaPier include homelessness, her brief time spent in a Catholic orphanage and her reflections on the death of Kurt Cobain. Fans of the more familiar side of Cher needn't fret, though -- her official follow-up to Believe will be in stores this spring, and her next movie project will find her playing, of all things, a world-famous diva.
You've described not.com.mercial as very un-Cher like. Why?
Well, oh God, I don't know, because I'm not ever sure what un-Cher like is anymore. It's just not very commercial sounding, and I think that most of my albums have always been at least been intended to be that way even if that wasn't the final outcome. And this one there was no intent behind it -- it's kind of demos.
On "(The Fall) Kurt's Blues," you tackle the subject of Kurt Cobain's suicide. How you were impacted by his death?
You know, I don't know any of his music. And I don't know how I was impacted; I only know I woke up one morning and Courtney Love was reading his suicide note on MTV, and I just felt bad. I didn't even know him. I remember my son was really upset about his death, and just something about his suicide note made me feel bad for him. I just thought it was a weird thing that she was reading the note, which was something that was really private, over the TV.
You wrote most of the songs on this album, but there's a song on here by Sonny Bono, "Classified 1-A," that you had released before. Why did you put that out again now?
We put that song out in 1970 and no one would play it because they said it was un-American, because I'm singing the part of a soldier that's in Vietnam dying and those are his last words. So no one ever got to hear it, so I just thought that would be a good thing [to include], because that wasn't commercial either.
Why did you go with an Internet-only release?
Well, because I don't know that it belongs any place else. I think that it's something if people are Cher fans and they want to be into it, then maybe they'd like it. But I just really don't think a lot of people are going to like it. I think that the Internet is a place that at least it doesn't infringe on anyone else's life and if you want to go there you can go there and check it out, and if you don't want to be bothered by it you don't even have to know it's in the universe.
Do you yourself spend much time on the Web?
No, I'm not on it at all. I'm dyslexic. I can't navigate shit there.
Do you anticipate trying to write more songs for the "official" follow-up to Believe?
No. I've got almost all the songs for the follow-up, and it's the best material I've ever gotten. I have to kind of pinch myself to wonder how I got all these great songs. The music is coming from some very strange places -- some Danish guys, some English guys, some Irish guys . . . and one of the guys from ZZ Top. We keep referring to the new album as "Son of Believe," and it just makes me laugh so much because that's what I keep calling it in my mind. It's so great, I told this writer I almost broke my neck the other day because I have one of those shower things -- you know those things you get at Sharper Image, the shower Disc Man -- and I was dancing to the demo tape and I almost slipped and killed myself in the shower.
So you'd describe it as "up-tempo," then?
It's so fucking great. My favorite song so far is called "When the Money's Gone." And there's a remake of this song that's so obvious to make a remake of that when I told [producer] Rob Dickins I wanted to do it, he said "Cher, that is just so lame." But the young guys that work for him, they didn't even know the song and they thought it was just great, so they totally redid it and it sounds great. But I can't tell you what it is. I can't give it away.
What's next for you movie-wise?
I'm going to direct and star in a film I've been trying to do since I was eleven-years-old called The Enchanted Cottage. I'm just now getting a chance to do it, but that probably won't come until the end of the year, especially because we've got an actors strike coming up in the summer.
What's the story about?
Oh, God, it's kind of complicated, but it's a story about a woman that's kind of like if you rolled me and Tina Turner and Madonna together. She gets in a terrible accident and gets disfigured and the media hounds her into kinda wanting to kill herself, and she goes away to a desert island and her whole life changes -- and everything kind of becomes different.

# not sure why this was here tag 390287 - patch thanks pushling provided me with another strace, of the case where xawtv was functioning (with the symlink in place, as described above); the strace is attached. When comparing it to the strace of the failing xawtv, it turns out that in the strace for the _working_ process, /dev/dri/card0 can't be openened correctly (probably because it is not a proper dri device). Because of this, libGL falls back to some other, slower rendering of the tv image: | stat64("/dev/dri/card0", {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0660, st_rdev=makedev(81, 0), ...}) = 0 | open("/dev/dri/card0", O_RDWR) = 4 | ioctl(4, DECODER_SET_PICTURE, 0xbfeaca50) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) | ioctl(4, DECODER_GET_CAPABILITIES, 0xbfeaca54) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) | close(4) = 0 ... | write(2, "libGL error: open DRM failed (Op"..., 55) = 55 | write(2, "libGL error: reverting to (slow)"..., 52) = 52 The strace of the non-fucntioning xawtv, otoh, shows that /dev/dri/card0 is opened correctly, and linGL tries to use it to show the video. In the end of the strace, it seems some ioctl on that device fails: | ioctl(4, 0x4008642a, 0xbff16824) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted) So, I'm guessing that this is either a bug in the reporter's GL/dri setup, or a bug in OpenGL. -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Bas Zoetekouw | GPG key: 0644fab7 | |----------------------------| Fingerprint: c1f5 f24c d514 3fec 8bf6 | | email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com | a2b1 2bae e41f 0644 fab7 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

Mirwais hospital: ICRC staff manage to work in dire circumstances

Journalist Nima Elbagir and cameraman Jake Simkin visited the ICRC-supported Mirwais hospital in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Here, they share their impressions of the humanitarian situation and of the ICRC and its work in the hospital.
I don't know how the ICRC staff at Mirwais do it.
Over the dinners they were kind enough to share with us, we learnt they had all worked in some pretty tough places, places that prepare you for the worst.
But even having worked in the places I've worked in – Somalia, DRC, Darfur.... Mirwais was hard.
Perhaps it's the isolation.
The ICRC is the only international aid organisation with foreign staff permanently based in Kandahar.
An incredible but I imagine also very lonely position to be in.
So coming from Kabul, believing that you know a little of the situation on the ground, that you've heard the stories elsewhere.
Even then, you are still unprepared.
It's not so much those injured as a direct consequence of the conflict - the relentless drip, drip of the war wounded.
The victims of air strikes and cross fire, the people living too near Coalition bases or caught walking down roads the Taliban don't want built.
Those punished daily for trying to go on with life in the middle of a war.
To a certain degree if you do your homework before you come down here, that sadly is horrifying but not shocking.
What's unexpected is the children, the dozens and dozens of children, who come in every day.
The statistics on civilian casualties conspire to obscure a heavier death toll – those that die around the conflict, because of it, but not directly by it.
Unicef rates Afghanistan as having the second highest infant mortality rate in the world and every day at Mirwais staff and parents told us the choice is simple – wait, praying for a window of calm or risk travelling to the hospital through the violence.
Wait and risk your child's life or go and risk everything.
Often the doctors told us the parents wait too long so by the time they arrive at the hospital the risk they take is a hollow one.
Of those "hopeless cases" most we were told die within 24 hours of reaching Mirwais.
On one of our last days at Mirwais we were sitting at what had became our regular spot, by the entrance to the Emergency ward.
Waiting with our cameras switched on to film arrivals. It had been really quiet but then two men on a motor bike drove right up the doors.
One jumped off the back of the bike before it had even stopped, carrying a child in his arms – we were later told he was the father.
He ran passed us into the ward, concentrating too hard on getting there to even shout for the doctors.
They came almost on instinct, arriving as the baby was laid on the bed.
But it was too late.
He'd waited too long
Of all the scenes we saw at Mirwais it was the condition of the children that was the most difficult and the most unexpected.
But I'm still incredibly grateful to the staff at the hospital for helping us see a little of what people in the cross fire in Afghanistan's south live with on a daily basis.
And the choices they are forced to make.

Hello again -
Had a few too many seizures the past eight weeks and, since this isn't helping pay the medical bills, this here blog is closed for the summer season (at least).
Also, i won't be at the Comic-Con in San Diego or in Chicago for 'After Dark' like i had previously hoped (i shouldn't be spending my money on serigraphs at this time).
Take care -

The legendary DJ Premier hasn't put out a new #Preemix in quite a while, but he ends the drought today with a new remix of Kanye West's The Life of Pablo track, "I Love Kanye." Seeing that the original version of 'Ye's song on the album features no beat, the song is basically an open invitation for producers to come in and do their thing, and since Preemo is one of the best to ever do it, it made total sense that he supplied his own production.
Preemo laced the track with some of his famous scratches on top of the bass-heavy production that he supplied for the Kanye verse that fits perfectly. With Premiere adding his own flavor to the track, maybe this will open the door to him getting some production on Kanye's next album, which he announced was coming this summer. You can listen to Premier's remix below, and stream Kanye's new album here. Also check out recent remixes of "I Love Kanye" from Key Wane and Stefan Ponce.

"Yet my conscience presses me on": JQA and the Cost of Conscience
John Quincy Adams, whose 246th birthday is tomorrow, often used birthdays as a moment to take stock of what he had and had not accomplished and what his priorities were. His conscience, and his sense of duty to make himself useful to his country and worthy of his family's heritage, focused his reflections on the part he had fulfill in his limited time and his capacity for doing so, even when duty to his own conscience cost him (and often his family) a high price.
One of the most compelling occasions of this takes place in 1841, as Adams, who having successfully navigated the Amistad case, considers his larger role in the growing anti-slavery debate. In this striking diary passage, Adams fully lays out the stakes and comes down on the side of conscience and duty outweighing any personal sacrifice:
"The world, the flesh, and all the devils in hell are arrayed against man, who now, in this North-American Union, shall dare to join the standard of Almighty God, to put down the African Slave-trade—and what can I, upon the verge of my seventy-fourth birth-day, with a shaking hand, a darkening eye, a drowsy brain, and with all my faculties dropping from me, one by one, as the teeth are dropping from my head, what can I do for the cause of God and Man? for the progress of human emancipation? for the suppression of the African Slave-trade?— Yet my conscience presses me on—let me but die upon the breach.—"
This led to a renewed war by Adams in the House of Representatives against the increasingly oppressive "Gag Rule," for which Adams was reviled, threatened, and harassed both inside and outside of Congress, much to the distress of his family.
Want to hear more about Adams and the cost of conscience? Tomorrow, I will be one of the speakers at the annual wreath-laying ceremony, held at noon at United First Parish Church in Quincy Center, better known as the "Church of the Presidents," the long-time church for the Adams family, and the final resting place for both John and Abigail Adams as well as John Quincy and Louisa Catherine Adams. The event is free and open to the public.

2011 Nissan Quest: $38,040
Nissan returns to the minivan game after taking a couple of years off, and the reviewers were largely happy with the results. The combination of a high-quality interior with an extremely quiet and comfortable ride helped it score highly against the more established competition. Still, it's not without its faults. Pros: "This is a different level," Travis Weatherby said about the Quest's interior, which said a lot since the Quest was the last van he drove for the day. "If there was a van I'd buy, this would be it," Thomas raved. "The fact that you can fold all of the seats flat in the Quest without having to remove any of them is fantastic," Varela added. "The Quest's mixture of chrome and faux wood trim was understated and looked luxurious," Newman said. Cons: Healey was less impressed. "Odd-looking, pricey, not especially well-suited to the American market, but boy, those seats are great." Odd-looking was a common refrain. "I still don't care for its ugly squared-off rear that makes it look like a brick on wheels," Newman said. On the other hand, Robinson applauded that look: "I like that the styling is still big, boxy and minivan-looking." Still, he didn't care for "the smell of cheap leather." Both Robinson and Travis questioned why a $38,000 van wouldn't have navigation. "Navigation is almost standard today, isn't it?" Travis said.

Hayley Rebekah
Five months old
Golden Hamster
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
ayley is really cute as you can tell in these pictures! She is really hyper at night time and runs all around her cage. (She has a wire cage so she climbs on the wires.) She is really sweet and doesn't bite. She loves classical music because our other animals, a bunny and a guinea pig listen to it. She loves to run around in the basement when her owner is doing her homework. Hayley is very clean and doesn't leave her cage messy. She especially likes sunflower seeds and corn, just like our previous hamsters, Herbie and Hallie.
Hayley likes to have her picture taken by her owner's neighbor, who loves animals and likes to take pictures of them. Hayley's friends are Fluffy a bunny, Francine, a guinea pig, and Nicki, a Golden Retriever. Her favorite sports are running in her ball and climbing her cage at night. She has a little scar on her nose from something that happened before we adopted her. She has beady black eyes and dark black ears that suite her very well, I think!! I really love Hayley and hope that you have enjoyed these adorable pictures of her!

MELBOURNE, Sept 2 (Reuters) - An Australian-listed explorer is hoping to start producing potash from a mine in Congo Republic by 2021, it said on Friday, after having lined up funding from three new shareholders, including leading Chilean fertiliser producer SQM.
The push comes despite potash prices having sunk to their lowest in a decade due to a supply glut, which has led two North American agricultural giants, Canada's Potash Corp and Agrium, to enter merger talks to help them grow.
The weak market has also led global miner BHP Billiton to slow down work on a huge potash mine in Canada, the $10 billion-plus Jansen project, which it has long seen as a major long-term source of growth.
However junior firm Elemental Minerals Ltd sees an opportunity to build one of the world's lowest cost potash mines for less than $1.8 billion, with the support of SQM, as well as Oman's biggest sovereign wealth fund and Africa-focused Summit Private Equity.
The big attraction of Elemental's three prospects in Congo is that they are large, very high grade, and shallow, at 200 to 300 metres deep compared to the more typical 1 kilometre depth like BHP's Jansen, Managing Director Sean Bennett said.
"Having looked at various potash projects around the world this was, in our view, one of the best candidates to become a low-cost project," SQM Chief Executive Patricio de Solminihac said in a statement.
The material is also easy to process and close to a port, which, all together, would make Elemental's Kola project one of the lowest cost potash operations in the world.
"That means whatever happens to the potash price, we are better off than anyone else in the market," Elemental's Bennett said on a conference call.
The company, which plans to rename itself Kore Potash, has already won a mining license and lined up a construction team, including French firm Technip, and has secured commitment from its new investors to take 40 percent of the 2 million tonnes a year initial output from the mine.
"The intention would be to start production by 2021," Bennett said. Elemental sees Brazil and Africa as the big potential markets for its potash.
Elemental's shares jumped 19 percent to an eight-month high on Friday. (Reporting by Sonali Paul; Editing by Himani Sarkar)

Partnerships Creating Magic in Cold Lake
Mentoring is the simple act of building a friendship based on trust, support and fun, and it has a powerful effect on both young people and the caring adults who contribute their time and talents. Just ask long-time partners Cenovus, Imperial Oil, Alberta Human Services and FCSS Cold Lake, who have supported the work of Boys & Girls Clubs Big Brothers Big Sisters (BGCBigs) of Edmonton & Area in the community. Partnerships are also growing with United Way, Cold Lake High School, Lakeland Credit Union, and Staples – all to create more opportunities for kids to succeed.
The partnerships are helping BGCBigs have a greater presence in the community, coordinate in-school and community mentoring programs, and meet the needs of dozens of children and families in Cold Lake. On behalf of BGCBigs, thank you to these wonderful partners for supporting the Alberta's Promise of "Caring Adults" and giving more young people the opportunity to reach out to caring role models.
The staff at BGCBigs would also like to share the impact of mentorship on one Big-Little mentoring duo in Cold Lake. This is the story of Janell and Kevin:
Since his match in 2012, Kevin has enjoyed learning to play the piano from his Big Sister Janell, a piano teacher. Now Kevin is teaching Janell. This year their match goal is for Kevin to teach Janell to play chess. The fact that they are doing this on a Braille chess board is no deterrence to them.
Janell and her 'seeing eye dog', Sider, are often seen in the community, walking here and there, and one of the places they go is to Cold Lake Middle School, where they mentor Kevin most weeks. The match has entered its fourth school year and they are still enjoying each other's company.
When the match was re-engaged this year, BBBS staff brought the new Braille Chess Game and the challenge was on. The tables had turned and Kevin immediately began helping Janell distinguish which pieces were which and naming them for her, gently guiding her fingers to feel their shapes as he explained the rules around what moves they can make.
Janell is up for the challenge. As Kevin explains the game, she stops him to ask questions and he patiently answers them. They also enjoy playing checkers and Tic Tac Toe. Another goal they have been discussing – Kevin wants to learn to play the saxophone. And Janell says she can teach him, if she can find someone to give her a couple of lessons.
There is no limit to what mentors and mentees can learn from each other.
Special thanks to all funders of BGCBigs in Cold Lake, including FCSS Cold Lake, Alberta Human Services, and United Way.
Want to make a difference in the life of children in your community? Reach out to local organizations such as BGCBigs to find a number of opportunities to fit your schedule. And if you live in Cold Lake, consider "Bowling For Kids Sake" on April 24 and 25 at the Marina Bowling Centre.

FedexKinko, Office Depot, and Dell Lead Satisfaction Survey of 4,000 Small Business Managers
For the fourth year in a row, Federal Express, Office Depot, and Dell were viewed most favorably as suppliers in a survey of 4,000+ by small business managers completed by this publication. In this annual survey, readers were given a list of 18 top brands, five satisfaction choices and asked: For the following national brands please indicate your general overall opinion as to their handling of small business clients?
The clear leaders are Federal Express, rated "very favorable" or "favorable" by almost three out of four respondents, an increase from last year's (64.7%), followed by Office Depot and Dell computers. This year, the editors developed a more mathematical approach to the ratings which is reflected in the chart below. It provides a more graphic picture of the comparisons within the 17 brands nominated by readers.
For the first year, FedexKinko was listed instead of the separate groupings, as the two have merged. Surprisingly, American Express lost its fourth place position from last year yielding to rival Visa and dropping to ninth place. Staples jumped five places and is now in the fifth position amongst the 17 top providers.
4,000 Respondents
The more than 4,000+ respondents to the survey conducted in January 2006, rated these industry leaders in five categories from very favorable to very unfavorable. The 17 brands chosen for the survey make it a point to target small firms and often enjoy the highest ratings from their constituents.
Where American Express did improve was in lowering its negative rating amongst respondents in relation to last year. Not so for last years leader in negativity, Bank One which once again received the highest rate of ire from respondents. It was closely followed by Pitney Bowes and Sprint, again, continuing a trend from last year.
The telecommunications groups were low on respondents' positive responses with many write-in comments on VOIP providers. Next year's survey will include them and the editors are considering a special mid-year telecommunications survey.
Intuit once again showed positive this year and maintained with HP their position as solid providers.

In Perl, if a variable holds the name for another variable, how do I use the first variable to visit the other one?
For example, let
$name = "bob";
@bob = ("jerk", "perlfan");
Several points:
See perlreftut for more on references (symbolic and otherwise). See perldsc for help using data structures. See perlmod for more on typeglobs. See perlsub for more on lexical variables.
Here's an example of using locked hashes to control access to data based on the content of a variable:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Hash::Util qw( lock_hash unlock_hash );
my %data;
lock_hash( %data );
#Altering %data is a fatal exception.
unlock_hash( %data );
%data = (
'bob' => [ 'jerk', 'genius' ],
lock_hash( %data );
for my $name (qw/ bob margaret /) {
my $info = $data{$name}; # Fatal error when accessing data for margaret.
print "$name is a\n";
print map "\t$_\n", @$info;
All warnings aside, the syntax to use symbolic references should you need to use it (but you won't) is:
use strict;
use warnings;
my $name = 'bob';
our @bob = qw/jerk genius/;
my $qualities;
{ no strict 'refs';
print "$name: ", @$name, "\n";
$qualities = \@$name;
print "$name is a @$qualities\n";
Note that the array
@bob is declared with
our. Symbolic references only work with values in the symbol table. In other words, lexical variables do not work with symbolic references.
Just in case I haven't emphasized this enough, don't use symbolic references.
