As is Coda.You'll notice that the developers behind them have sort-of moved on toLustre ;-)The hooks (once cleaned up, no disagreement here, the technical feedbackso far has been very valuable and continues to be) are useful and ineffect needed not just for Lustre, but in principle for all clusterfilesystems, such as (Open)GFS and others, even potentially NFS4 et al.The logic that _all_ modules and functionality need to be "in the tree"right from the start for hooks to be useful is flawed, I'm afraid. Purehorror that a proprietary cluster file system might also profit from itis not, exactly, a sound technical argument. (I can assure you I don'tcare at all for the proprietary cluster-fs.)Lustre alone would be, roughly, ~10MB more sources, just in the kernel.I don't think you want to merge that right now, as desireable as it ison the other hand to be able to use it with a mainstream kernel. I thinkthis is why kbuild allows external modules to be build; with that logicit would follow that this should be disabled too.There certainly is an interest in merging these (cleaned up) extensionsand allowing powerful cluster filesystems to exist on Linux.Another example of this is the cache invalidation hook which we wentthrough a few weeks ago too.

The Gene Emergence Project is one of the programs of The Origin-of-Life Science Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 science and education foundation with corporate headquarters near NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center just off the Washington, D. C. Beltway in Greenbelt, MD. 113 Hedgewood Drive, 20770-1610 Fax 301-441-8135
The Origin-of-Life Science Foundation should not be confused with "creation science"or "intelligent design" groups. It has no religious affiliations of any kind, nor are we connected in any way with any New Age, Gaia, or "Science and Spirit" groups. The Origin-of-Life Science Foundation, Inc. is a science and education foundation encouraging the pursuit of natural-process explanations and mechanisms within nature. The Foundation's main thrust is to encourage interdisciplinary, multi-institutional research projects by theoretical biophysicists and origin-of-life researchers specifically into the origin of genetic information/instructions/message/recipe in living organisms. By what mechanism did initial genetic code arise in nature? The primary interest of The Gene Emergence Project is to investigate the derivation of functional monomeric sequencing at the rigid covalent-bond level. This must occur prior to any selection for phenotypic fitness.
Fitting with the project's highly interdisciplinary nature, its advisors include biochemists, molecular biologists, biophysicists, information theorists, artificial life and intelligence experts, exo/astrobiologists, mathemeticians, and origin-of-life researchers in many related fields. Please feel free to e-mail or write us opinions, advice, and critiques, particularly of the tentative rules themselves. We are developing as broad and as deep a root system within the scientific community as possible.
The Foundation believes that advisors' personal metaphysical persuasions are none of our business. Science is about "How?" Questions addressing "How?" are about mechanism. As a science foundation, we are interested in models of mechanism consistent with naturally-occuring biochemical phenomena and sound information theory. We welcome as advisors competent scientists from widely respected universities and laboratories around the world whose interest and experience extends to origin-of-life queries.
We believe the judging is at least as critical a question as the audited financials underwriting of the Prize. The decision of whether to award the Origin-of-Life Prize ® must rest not with the Foundation, but with the most internationally respected origin-of-life researchers themselves in accordance with the published rules and requirements. Scientists' votes on any given submission will be independently audited the same as the Foundation's financial position.
The Foundation welcomes tax-deductible donations to be used for the promotion of scientific inquiry into the origin of genetic prescriptive information (instruction).
The Board of Directors consists largely of administrators/fundraisers rather than life-origin bench scientists. Judging of the Prize is to be done by the scientific community itself, not by the Foundation. No one at the Foundation has a vote on any submission.
Board of Directors of The Origin-of-Life Foundation, Inc. include
Morris W. Hedge, Chairman; Mathematician/Computer Scientist, recently retired from the Department of Defense, Fort Meade, MD
Reginald C. Orem, Vice Chairman, Retired Educator, College Park, MD
Paul L. Abel, Secretary; Owner, "We Train Computers," Columbia, MD
George Stephens, Ph.D., Teller of Elections, retired Maryland University professor, Adelphi Md.
Dr. David L. Abel, Treasurer; Theoretical Biology; ProtoBioCybernetics and BioSemiotics; Life-origin research specifically into the emergence of initial genes; Director, The Gene Emergence Project, Greenbelt, MD
Chris Esh, Ph.D. Caldwell, Idaho
Sue E. Meeks, CEO, Integrated Financial Analysts, LTD., Potomac, Va.

Jose, it is against our policy to do the homework assignment for someone else.by Solitaire (Login Solitaire1)
It's ok to provide hints for someone who has posted the code they have done so far, and explained which part of the code they are having trouble with.
The student won't learn anything if you simply provide the complete solution, and it's a disservice to the other students in the class who do their own work.
Please read the "Homework Policy" above.

Trainer Shug McGaughey knows his turf star Point of Entry is about to enter the toughest race of his career and the Racing Hall of Fame trainer is looking forward to the challenge.
While Point of Entry has rolled to three straight grade I victories in New York turf races this season, the 4-year-old Dynaformer colt will face some of the top European horses in this year's Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT) on Nov. 3 at Santa Anita Park, including last year's Turf winner St Nicholas Abbey.
"I think it is a very worthy challenge," McGaughey said. "That's what makes it the Breeders' Cup. Without the European influence the Breeders' Cup wouldn't be what it is. I'm looking forward to it. If we were able to win, we'd be able to say we beat some of the best horses internationally."
Point of Entry will carry a five-race win streak into the Turf, which has been won by European-based horses for four straight years. McGaughey noted that after a 2011 season where Point of Entry won two of eight starts, he put things together in a pair of races at Keeneland this spring, posting clear victories in an allowance race and the Elkhorn Stakes (gr. IIT).
Point of Entry has only moved forward since then, as he posted grade I victories in the Man o' War, Sword Dancer Invitational, and Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational Stakes by a combined 9 1/4 lengths.
McGaughey hasn't had much time to look over the top European-based horses who will ship in but certainly noted that St Nicholas Abbey is back to try to win a second straight Turf. The 5-year-old Montjeu horse won this year's Investec Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup (Eng-I) and has placed in three other group I races this year in England and Ireland.
Also expected to make her U.S. debut will be 4-year-old filly Shareta, who posted group I wins in England and France this year. Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes (Eng-I) winner The Fugue has the Turf as her second preference with the Filly and Mare Turf (gr. IT) as her more likely spot.
Last year's Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby (Ire-I) winner Treasure Beach has raced in the U.S. and Europe this season, finishing second to Point of Entry in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational. Trailblazer won a stakes in Japan this season and has prepped at Santa Anita, where he finished second in the Arroyo Seco Mile Stakes (gr. IIT). Cogito , who won a stakes in England this year, would start in the Turf after a fourth-place finish in the Jamaica Handicap (gr. IT).
McGaughey noted that some of the U.S.-based horses also look tough. Other pre-entries with the Turf as first preference include Bourbon Bay, Kindergarden Kid, Optimizer , Slim Shadey, and Turbo Compressor .
McGaughey is the most recent trainer to saddle a winning favorite in a Breeders' Cup race at Santa Anita off an East Coast prep when Lure won the 1993 Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT) at odds of 13-10 after prepping with a victory in the Kelso Handicap (gr. IIIT) at Belmont Park. McGaughey will try to secure the 10th Breeders' Cup win of his career and first since taking the 2005 Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Distaff (now Ladies' Classic, gr. I) with Pleasant Home.
Point of Entry is scheduled to breeze at Belmont Oct. 28, and ship to Santa Anita the following day. McGaughey is looking forward to next week.
"I'm a big fan of the Breeders' Cup," McGaughey said. "It's been good to us. I've enjoyed competing in these races over the years and I've enjoyed watching some of these other horses."

Author has written 6 stories for Love, Life, Fantasy, and Nature.
My name is Nikki, I live in Bristol as a student but I grew up in London, UK. I love poetry and my favourite one has got to be the Jabberwock. A lot of my poetry has been influenced by events in my life ( like a lot of poetry) and for some of my poetry the emotions come through perhaps a little too strongly ;. I have an account on DeviantArt, under the same username, but as it is dominated by paintings, pictures and drawings, I got frustrated with my work constantly being overlooked. Then a fellow Deviant called demonic-chick43 (anmegrl01 on here) told me about this place, so here I am, hoping to put my poetry more into the spotlight.

Obama Administration: Paul Ryan's Budget Plan Detrimental for Middle Class
3 Apr 2012 - 18:47
Reporter : Ibn Saeed
Islam Times - Speaking to middle-class families and voters, President Barack Obama spoke of his intention to rebuttal the budget plan being promoted by House Republicans, stating it would hurt the economic situation of working families and citizens...
Obama, in a speech to newspaper executives, was expected to sharply criticize a $3.5 trillion budget proposal pushed by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., which passed on a near-party-line vote last week. The plan has faced fierce resistance from Democrats, who say it would gut Medicare, slash taxes for the wealthy and lead to deep cuts to crucial programs such as aid to college students and highway and rail projects.
Paul Ryan's proposal aims to slash the deficit and the size of government while offering sharply lower tax rates in return for eliminating many popular tax breaks.
The President's address to America's middle class comes at a time when Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney looks to be on the verge of securing his party's presidential nomination in the primary contests of Wisconsin, Maryland and Washington D.C.
Obama's administration and presidential campaign as of late have started to increase their focus on Romney and his party, as an energy ad about the former Massachusetts governor seemed to openly criticize his economic slants, citing it's economic destruction of the US middle class.

There are moments in life when you feel empty, when you feel like nothing, just a big cloud waling around, with no expression, no feelings, not even a face or a name. When you acumulate too many feelings, too many tears, too many pain, you feel like that. You act like a big stone, like nothing afects you while you're breaking apart inside. And the worst part is when you know you can't take it anymore, but you keep a smile in your face and your head held high. You walk and smile like nothing is wrong but inside there's just a big emptiness eroding you. There is no ground to hold you, no air to breath, no glue to keep you together, no strength to keep you fighting, no one around you even though you're surrounded, no voice to let you scream, no hope to make you believe. In the mirror, you only see a huge failure, someone that can't hold it inside but doesn't want to let it all out, someone that lives his life in a zombie mode, someone whose smile lost his varacity a long time ago, someone whose life has no purpose but with no courage to end it. What kind of life is this one? Is it worth it? But you promisse yourself to be strong, to keep fighting every single day, to keep living, even if it's a crappy life where you're tired of living, where you are trapped in your thoughts, hate and frustrations about yourself. What to do? Just wake up every morning hoping it's going to be a better day. And if it's not, go to sleep and the next day wake up with the same attitude. There's nothing else to do but survive instead of living.

Dr. Shank, in his warm, funny and sincere remarks, said that a main ingredient for business success is something people rarely talk about, with their employees or their clients: Love. Love your employees, your customers and your community and your business will flourish. If you create … [Read more...]

Lakes on Titan
The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft has discovered 75 lakes on the surface of Titan, Saturn's largest moon.1 The lakes, some of which span several tens of kilometers in diameter, are filled with liquid methane. The international team that presented these findings, which includes CNRS researchers, has thus shown that there is a methane cycle on Titan comparable to the water cycle on Earth.

Dangerous Fat
A surprising reservoir for Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been uncovered by Neyrolles and his coworkers: the adipose tissue.1 They detected M. Tuberculosis DNA in the fat tissue surrounding the kidneys, the stomach, the lymph nodes, the heart and the skin in about 30% of the 39 individuals tested, who died from causes other than TB. This could explain the ability of the tubercle bacillus to persist in its human host for exceptionally long periods of time, in a tissue where it escapes both anti-mycobacterial drugs and host defence mechanisms.

Leaded Toxicity
Why is lead toxic? Gourlaouen and Parisel1 from LCT2 suggest it could be due to a distortion of the molecule to which it binds. They took a close look at calmodulin, a calcium transporter that shows reduced efficiency after lead binding, and d-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (d-ALAD), an enzyme whose activity is totally disrupted by lead binding. The team used model compounds to mimic lead binding and quantum computations to track structural changes wrought by the heavy metal. Their results indicate that the distortion induced by lead is well correlated to the extent of functional disruption and directly related to the positioning of a free pair of electrons in lead. The free pair of electrons seems to create a shield that completely disturbs the arrangement of atoms around lead in the bound molecule. This observation should help in the design of future lead-specific antidotes.

This unrelenting (and welcome, thank you) heat has got me thinking of one thing and one thing only. Training camp. Ok, that's not entirely true, but I did think about it yesterday as I was walking to my car in the middle of the day. I thought, "It's over 90 degrees today and if I had actually realized my dream of being a professional football player, I'd be running around wearing synthetic, non-breathable football pants, pads, a mouthpiece, and a helmet, sweating Snoqualmie Falls-level perspiration, getting hit, and battling the urge to quit." As it is, I'm a lawyer who sits in an air-conditioned office, making at least 100 times less money.
Suffice to say that despite the heat, I'd go willingly onto the practice field to get my brains beat in, as would many of you out there, I suspect.
The heat tells me that autumn is about two exits up the road and it's about time to take a look at a few things in college football.
I'm interested to see what team, if any, from a BCS Conference who traditionally doesn't sit atop their conference, will have a great season and shake things up like Texas Tech did last year or like Kansas the year before.
The following look like they have the potential to be one of these teams: Oklahoma State, North Carolina, Kansas (again), Ole Miss, and Cal.
Oklahoma State
They have an explosive offense and will play in some high-profile games and the word is their defense is better. They get a revamped Georgia at home to open the season, they don't have to play Nebraska, they get Texas at home on Halloween (with the added bonus that their school colors are Halloween's colors, I'm not sure how Texas gets past that), they also get Missouri, Texas Tech, and Colorado at home, and they get to play Iowa State. It's a tough slate, but I could easily see them sitting at 7-0 going into the Texas game and 11-0 heading into a national-championship-berth-on-the-line game against Oklahoma.
North Carolina
Things are looking up in Carolina. They have the benefit of playing in the ACC, which is probably the fifth toughest BCS Conference (it's got to be 1. SEC; 2. Big 12; 3. Pac 10; 4. Big Ten; 5. ACC; 6. Big East). There are certainly quality teams in the ACC, but top-to-bottom, it's not that tough. The same could be said about the Big 12 except their top teams are phenomenally good. It seems like no team from the ACC in recent memory has been relevant in the national title hunt and that their champion often limps into their contractually entitled BCS game, much to the chagrin of college football fans everywhere.
The point is, North Carolina starts off with an elevated platform simply because of their conference affiliation. Since teams have had such struggles going undefeated, if UNC can run the table, and no other team does (or only one other team does) then they'll be in the title game. End of story. I don't think that they'll do it, but they certainly have a shot. Just take a look at their schedule. Their out-of-conference schedule consists of Citadel, UConn, East Carolina, and Georgia Southern. UConn could be a challenge, and East Carolina showed that they're a tough team, but these are not shudder inducing programs. they also have the added benefit of playing Duke. Their undoing may be that they have to travel to GT, VT, BC, and NC State. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I see UNC finishing 9-3 at best. So what was I talking about? Still a good year, but not a system-shifting year.
The Jayhawks have a knack for scheduling the creamiest of creampuff out-of-conference schedules (rivaled only by their in-state rival, Kansas State). This year is no different. They play Northern Colorado, UTEP, Duke, and Southern Miss. That's embarrassing–
actually, on second thought, it's enviable because I'd LOVE for UW to have that schedule this year. In addition to their weak out of conference schedule, they get to play perennial doormat Iowa State. The downer for KU is that they're scheduled to play Texas this year, but at least the game is at home and they avoid Oklahoma State. I see Kansas checking in at 10-2 and probably winning the Big 12 North.
This team shocked the hell out of Florida last year (not that it mattered since the Gators won it all anyway), and luckily they avoid them on the schedule this year. They have a good team returning and a good coach running the show. They have a QB with a cool name (Jevan Snead) who has been getting Heisman hype, which is probably unfair and most likely unwarranted. Honestly, is anyone other than Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, or Tim Tebow winning the thing? Also, if you've never seen Ole Miss play did you know that Jevan Snead is a white guy? I have to be honest, the name threw me. But he's as white as any white guy I know, just take a look.
Back to Ole Miss's chances this year, they have a very favorable out-of-conference schedule (Memphis, SE Louisiana, UAB, and a random Northern Arizona game in November). They also get to play Vanderbilt and face Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, and LSU at home. They have a very strong chance of winning the SEC West (and getting trounced by Florida in the SEC Championship game).
Virginia Tech
They've had a great run, but have not been in the national title hunt for awhile. This year they have great out-of-conference games to boost their exposure: Alabama at the Georgia Dome, Nebraska at home, and at East Carolina (a team they owe, big time). They get Miami, BC, UNC, and NC State at home. If they survive their first three games (Alabama, Marshall, and Nebraska), then look out for the Hokies.
This could be their year. They will be favored in every game, maybe even against USC (which is at home). I don't love their QB situation, but I do love their running game and overall experience.
The non-BCS teams that could make a run at a BCS game or even the title game are BYU and Boise State. BYU will push for the title game if they beat Oklahoma (and everyone else on their schedule, including Florida State at home), but do you see that happening? As good as BYU is, and they are good, I just cant' see any circumstance where the Joseph Smithers take this game, which may as well be a home game for Oklahoma since they're playing in Arlington, TX at the new Cowboy's stadium.
As for Boise State, this team is on a crazy roll and has a great, young, QB in Kellen Moore. They are going to beat Oregon and run the table, but it won't be enough for them to climb into the title game because the rest of their schedule is Soft Batch.
Next, we'll look at some individuals who will grab us by the shoulders this year and demand our attention.

By Hindustan Times
Salman Khan's Being Human line of clothes will now be available online too. While the watches are already being sold on beinghumanwatches.com, a separate website for T-shirts is under construction and is expected to be ready by April this year.
The actor, who had set up a website with the
help of a few technicians to make the merchandise available on the web last year, admits he didn't quite like what was created.
Easy access
Talking about his decision to recreate the site, Khan says, "It's being constructed and it may take some more time because I want the site to be clutter free and easy to access and buy from. Since it is an online store, it should be easy to navigate," he says.
The actor added, "Hopefully in the next month or two, we should be ready with the website for T-shirts because I've been told they are in demand. The last time a retail chain tried selling them online, their website crashed due to heavy traffic." Khan had also organised a Being Human fashion show with his leading ladies last year, with top actors like Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Sushmita Sen, Bipasha Basu and Kareena Kapoor.
The company which manufactures the Being Human watches only gets a 24 per cent share of the total sales while the remaining amount goes to charity.
There's also a tie-up with Mandhana Industries for nine years and three months to mass-produce the T-shirts, which at the moment cost minimum R 349 on the racks. "I don't know anything about these deals. My lawyers would know the exact details. I just want the best for my charity. We do a lot of work on health and education and we want to do a lot more," he smiles and says. The Salman Khan Foundation is a charitable trust set up by Khan for helping the underprivileged.
It was initially funded by Khan alone. In order to increase the reach and corpus of the Foundation, the actor has undertaken initiatives such as Being Human art and Being Human merchandise. The number of watch designs for guys to choose from is less than those for girls. Also, the women's watches have been priced lower than the men's.
Commenting on there being more variety of women's watches, which incidentally are more reasonable than the watches for men, Khan explains, "I've done that on purpose because girls love to have a wide range of watches to go with their clothes."
He adds, "I have loads of women in my life as friends and family and they're average women who don't like compromising on their watches. If watches for them are priced steeply, they won't buy more than one piece."

Leonardo DiCaprio is having so much fun filming new movie "Inception" in the U.K. that he wants to buy a home in England, according to reports.
After deciding to purchase a country mansion in the U.K., the star has turned to British filmmaker Guy Ritchie for property advice.
DiCaprio was spotted asking Ritchie about moving abroad during a night out at the director's London pub, The Punchbowl, reports OK! magazine.
An onlooker is said to have heard the actor tell Ritchie, "I love England. I've got so many friends here and I'm fed up of going between hotels all the time while I'm filming."
And the 34-year-old, who is rumored to have split from supermodel Bar Refaeli earlier this summer, showed an interest in the country's women as well, allegedly asking the Snatch director: "Can you find me a British lady too?"

Someone on the Acaeum recently commented that the TLG Castle Zagyg was disappointing because there was no castle, and someone else pointed out that Castle Greyhawk, despite the name, was always conceived as just ruins and the dungeons beneath. In this context the "Tower of Zenopus" is quite appropriate for the dungeons below the ruined tower.Zenopushttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-42353091717007355442010-08-01T15:36:49.547-04:002010-08-01T15:36:49.547-04:00I believe the "bronze mask" in Room I is...I believe the "bronze mask" in Room I is a version of the medieval Brazen Head.

"A Brazen Head (or Brass Head or Bronze Head) was a prophetic device attributed to many medieval scholars who were believed to be wizards, or who were reputed to be able to answer any question. It was always in the form of a man's head, and it could correctly answer any question asked of it.

Anyway, I still feel a strong nostalgia for that game, mainly because the very first time I read about those strange "role playing games", the text was illustrated by the now classical "blue cover".

So Holme's Basic set IS (and will ever be) D&D to me.

Still, I cannnot understand the "daggers strike twice per round" thing. :)

In my first D&D campaign, our DM used that rule. Now I know where it came from.

Unsurprisingly, we had every character equipped with knives instead of maces, swords or spears :)

With the hit points, I'm still in the same general mode: specify hit points for a solo NPC, but roll on the fly for a large group of the same type. From a statistical perspective, you don't want the standard deviation to allow the one "boss" monster to come up very weak for your PCs; but for a large group a large number of rolls will average towards the mean anyway (central limit theorem) -- thus both (a) less need, and (b) more saved space to skip it for a larger group.

(As a side note I also hate the old HP listings in descending order, because then you need some randomization procedure to see which PC faces off against which one.)

My summary of Holmes basic would be this: It clearly comes from OD&D. It clearly points towards AD&D. I do wish it had instead pointed towards/referenced/described OD&D instead. I went far too long not knowing what that meant, exactly.Deltahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-1808399378788262262010-07-29T17:54:57.106-04:002010-07-29T17:54:57.106-04:00I always liked the content of the Tower of Zenopus...I always liked the content of the Tower of Zenopus but could never stand the map, mostly because of how big so many of the rooms are -- especially room A which at 10'/sq. is 100' x 120' (and even at 5'/sq. is 50' x 60') and IIRC is inhabited by something like 6 goblins (who could easily fit in a 10' x 20' room). The other rooms aren't quite as egregious (especially if 5'/sq. scale is assumed), but are still a lot bigger and more spread out than they need to be.

No, I see your point. S&W language is very utilitarian and terse (a strength btw). I've been rereading the original DMG just because the 'flavor' is so enjoyable.

For many of us, the Tower of Zenopu...Nice writeup!

For many of us, the Tower of Zenopus was the first example of a dungeon we had ever seen, and it influenced us greatly (the second for me was B1, so I was forever cursed to have every one of my personal dungeons resemble an amalgamation of both of these). I agree this is more OD&D than AD&D, and for someone who purchased both the Holmes boxed set and the AD&D PHB the same week, it was easy to see where we dubbed Holmes "kiddie D&D) and went straight to the "meat".

Even as teenagers we were really puzzled by Holmes because despite references to further adventuring it was very plain to all of us that the blue book was in no way shape or form an intro to AD&D.

Since then, however, I've learned to appreciate Holmes on it's own merits. You don't need much more than the blue book, dice, graph paper, pencils and some buddies to get started.Badmikehttps://firstname.lastname@example.com

Aspen Leafs forward Charlie Van Allen claimed the RMJHL Student Athlete of the Year award, and defenseman Viacheslav Goev won MVP Defenseman of the Year award...
Leading Scorer- Kole Mudra, Pikes Peak Miners: In his final season with the Pikes Peak Miners, Kole Mudra ended his junior hockey career with a league leading 44 goals and 36 assists. His efforts helped lift his team to the 2016-17 RMJHL championship title. In the playoffs, he tallied 3 goals and 6 assists, including the game winner in game three of the championship series. Before playing with the Miners, Mudra played High School hockey in St. Louis and for the St. Louis Blues AAA program.
MVP Forward- Kameron Fink, Steamboat Wranglers: Playing in all 46 games, Kameron Fink led the Steamboat Wranglers in scoring with 58 points (35 goals and 23 assists). He was instrumental in the success of the first year Wranglers franchise. In game two of the RMJHL finals, he tallied 3 goals and 2 assists in a 5-1 win over Pikes Peak. Originally from Aurora, CO, Fink scored multiple goals in 9 regular season games.
MVP Defense- Viacheslav Goev, Aspen Leafs: Viacheslav Goev was the anchor to the Aspen Leafs defensive unit, and was instrumental helping his team to secure a second place finish in the regular season. In his second season with the Leafs, Goev recorded 12 points and 25 assists in 36 games. In late October, he returned to Aspen from his home in Krasnodar, Russia after missing the first month of the season. Upon his return, he helped the Leafs snap a four game losing streak (their longest of the season), and ended up leading his team with the best plus-minus record.
MVP Goaltender- Erik Anderson, Pikes Peak Miners: From Chanhassen, MN, Erik Anderson completed his final junior hockey season with an impressive 2.26 goals against average and a .940 save percentage in 1,408 minutes played. He led the RMJHL with 19 wins and 4 shutouts. Anderson played two seasons for the 20U Miners after playing for its 18UAAA feeder team in 2014-15. Anderson started the season winning his first 15 games, and only allowed 22 goals against with 4 shut outs during that stretch.
Student Athlete of the Year- Charlie Van Allen, Aspen Leafs: In his second season with the Aspen Leafs, Charlie Van Allen finished fourth on the team in scoring with 49 points in 43 games (16 goals, 33 assists). A native of Aspen, Van Allen completed his senior year at Aspen High School while playing in the RMJHL. An International Baccalaureate student, he posted a staggering 4.379 GPA while helping lead the Leafs to 42 wins during the season. His classroom success has led to collegiate acceptance letters from Middlebury College, Wesleyan University, Bowdoin College, and Princeton University. He is undecided on which college he will attend, but has aspirations to represent his future school on the ice.
Coach of the Year- Troy Mick, Steamboat Wranglers: With nearly two decades of coaching and managing in the WHL, BCHL KIJHL, and now the RMJHL, Troy Mick has yet to endure a losing season. This year, he served as the General Manager of the Salmon Arm Silverbacks (BCHL) and President of the Steamboat Wranglers. In late November, Mick replaced his head coach in Salmon Arm with Misko Antisin, who started the season as the Wranglers bench boss. Instead of replacing Antisin with a new coach, Mick took the reigns of his affiliate team in Steamboat. In 31 games, he guided the Wranglers to 23 wins, which included a streak of 7 straight and 8 straight wins in January, February and March. Finishing tied for second in points with the Aspen Leafs, Mick then led his team in the playoffs past the defending champion Leafs in three games, before taking the eventual champs (Pikes Peak) to a thrilling final game in the RMJHL championship series.
Organization of the Year- Steamboat Wranglers: In its first year of operation, the Steamboat Wranglers not only succeeded on the ice in the RMJHL, they quickly won over the Steamboat Springs community. Leading the league in attendance throughout the season, the new team was firmly embraced both on and off the ice. As a first year team in the RMJHL, the Wranglers rewarded their new fans by advancing to the championship series. As an organization committed to their players and fans, Steamboat has raised the bar for other RMJHL teams.

|Size & Form
Omega-6 fatty acids are well-supplied in the diet by meat and vegetable oils. However, not all omega-6 fatty acids are of equal value. Linoleic acid (not to be confused with ALA, which is in the omega-3 family) and arachidonic acid (AA) tend to be unhealthy because they are the precursor of inflammatory eicosanoids, such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), thromboxane A2, and leukotriene B4, which promote inflammation. In contrast, gamma linolenic acid (GLA), found in evening primrose oil, borage oil, and black currant oil, is an important fatty acid that plays a beneficial role in healthy prostaglandin formation.59 Health conscious people have been consuming a lot of borage oil to obtain GLA, the parent of the biologically active DGLA (di-homo-gamma-linolenic acid).
Life Extensions Mega GLA provides 285 mg of GLA plus 10 milligrams of sesame lignans. These sesame lignans increase beneficial DGLA, and they also help reduce the production of proinflammatory arachidonic acid, which is responsible for the formation of destructive prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene B4.60 Numerous studies have documented GLAs multiple health effects, but information about the ability of sesame to prevent the conversion of GLA into arachidonic acid indicates that many more people may now be able to benefit from supplementing with GLA.61

Nikon D1HAll the color and image-quality enhancements from the D1x, but 2.7 megapixels and 5 frames/second, and 1,000 lower price!
<<Reference: Datasheet :(Previous) | (Next): Print-Friendly Review Version>>
D1H SAMPLE IMAGES!Review First Posted: 11/16/2001
|I've begun including links in our reviews to a Thumber-generated index page for our test shots. The Thumber data includes a host of information on the images, including shutter speed, ISO setting, compression setting, etc. Rather than clutter the page below with *all* that detail, I'm posting the Thumber index so only those interested in the information need wade through it!
|Outdoor Portrait: (1217 k)
Good color and saturation, with high resolution.
The extreme tonal range of this image makes this a tough shot for many digicams, which is precisely why I set it up this way. (And why I don't use a fill-flash on it.) The object is to hold highlight and shadow detail without producing a "flat" picture with muddy colors, and the Nikon D1H did an excellent job in that respect, although the highlights do lose a little detail. The shot at right has no exposure compensation adjustment, unusual among cameras I've tested. (Nikon's matrix metering does very well with shots like this, most cameras seem to need a fair bit of positive exposure adjustment to compensate for the high-key subject and background.) I chose the Daylight (1237 k) white balance for our main series, which produced similar results to the Auto (1231 k) setting. (Manual (1243 k) white balance resulted in a very warm color cast.) I also played with the color space setting for this shot, shooting in Adobe RGB (1213 k) as well as sRGB mode (1233 k). I chose the sRGB mode for our main series, as Adobe RGB is more suited to prepress purposes and sRGB better matches the characteristics of typical CRT displays. (Although personally, I'd like to see Adobe RGB become more widely used, due to its broader color gamut.) Skin tones in sRGB are nearly accurate, but the blue flowers and pants are dark and purplish (this is a difficult blue for many digicams). However, remaining color looks good. Resolution is high, and details are sharp throughout the frame. Shadow detail also looks good, with very low noise.
To view the entire exposure series from zero to +1.0 EV, see files D1HOUTSDP0.HTM through D1HOUTSDP3.HTM for sRGB, and files D1HOUTADP0.HTM through D1HOUTADP3.HTM for Adobe RGB on our thumbnail page.
|Closer Portrait: (1108 k)
Good detail, natural skin tones.
Results are similar to the wider shot above, with no distortion on the model's face. (Longer lenses are better for close-up shots like this one, and I shot with a Nikkor 24-85mm zoom lens set close to its maximum telephoto focal length.) Color is similar to the portrait above, again shot in the sRGB color space. Detail is excellent in the model's face and hair, with good definition and overall sharpness. (Like the original D1, the D1h shows just how much detail you can get out of a 2.7 megapixel sensor.) The shadow areas again show good detail with very low noise. Our main shot was again taken with no exposure compensation adjustment, which resulted in good midtone and shadow detail, but did lose detail in the very strong highlight of the model's shirt collar.
See files D1HFACSDP0.HTM through D1HFACSDP2.HTM on our thumbnail
page to view the entire exposure series (from zero to +0.7
|Indoor Portrait, Flash:
I did not receive a strobe with our evaluation unit, so I didn't perform this test. Flash performance should be very similar to the results I obtained with the D1x though, since the two cameras use identical TTL flash exposure systems.
|Indoor Portrait, No Flash: (1148 k)
This shot is always a very tough test of a camera's white balance capability, given the strong, yellowish color cast of the household incandescent bulbs used for the lighting, and the D1H's white balance system had a little trouble with this difficult light source. Both the Incandescent (1137 k) and Auto (1150 k) white balance settings produced warm images with orangish color casts. However, the Manual setting interpreted the lighting well, and produced a nearly accurate image (though overall color is slightly greenish). I chose an exposure compensation adjustment of +2.3 EV (!) for our main shot, as the D1h had a tendency to underexpose this shot significantly. (Some while after I'd shot it, Nikon's Richard LoPinto pointed out that the manual itself suggests using center-weighted metering rather than matrix metering for shots like this.) (Compare to +0.0 EV (1093 k) adjustment.) Saturation is a bit low, but overall color is nearly accurate. The blue flowers are again dark and purplish, but skin tones look about right. Noise is very low. Following is an ISO series. - Noise is very low, even at ISO1600, where what noise appears is almost entirely confined to the blue channel. (In other digicams I've tested, the red channel is often nearly as noisy as the blue channel, but the D1h's red channel is remarkably clear and noise-free.) I didn't include shots of this subject taken at the "boosted" ISO settings of 3200 and 6400, but my experience with other subjects was that these elevated ISO settings were generally much too noisy to be usable.
ISO Series
|House Shot: (1269 k)
Great color, resolution, and detail!
I chose the Manual (1269 k) white balance setting for our main selection, though it produced nearly identical results to the Auto (1270 k) setting (though just slightly cooler). The Daylight (1282 k) setting also produced good results, but with a slightly warm cast. Resolution is high, with great definition in the tree limbs above the roof and in the house front details. The front foliage details also show good definition, though details are just a hint soft. I noticed very slight corner softness in the two left corners of the frame, but it doesn't extend far into the image area. (The 24-85mm lens I used for most of the D1h's shots was excellent optically, particularly for a zoom.) Overall, the D1H performed very well, with accurate color and saturation.
|Far-Field Test (1266 k)
High resolution and great shadow detail, but has a hard time with the strong highlights.
This image is shot at infinity to test far-field lens performance. NOTE that this image cannot be directly compared to the other "house" shot, which is a poster, shot in the studio. The rendering of detail in the poster will be very different than in this shot, and color values (and even the presence or absence of leaves on the trees!) will vary in this subject as the seasons progress. In general though, you can evaluate detail in the bricks, shingles and window detail, and in the tree branches against the sky. Compression artifacts are most likely to show in the trim along the edge of the roof, in the bricks, or in the relatively "flat" areas in the windows.
This is my ultimate "resolution shot," given the infinite range of detail in a natural scene like this. The D1H captures excellent detail throughout the frame, with great definition even in the fine foliage details above the house and in front. Details struck me as just slightly soft overall, but still look very good. (I'm likely to get some knocks on this, but my impression (admittedly subjective) is that the D1H wasn't quite a crisp as some other nominally 3 megapixel cameras I've seen. - Perhaps even just a tad less crisp than the original D1. - The softness is awfully minor, but I mention it because I know how closely our readers will be scrutinizing these images.) The bright sunlight tricks the D1H into losing most of the detail in the white bay window area, limiting the camera's dynamic range. However, the camera does an excellent job with shadow detail, as the brick pattern and porch light details are strong in the shadow area of the front door. Great color and saturation as well. In addition to our standard resolution series, I also shot with the, RGB TIFF (7,770 k) file format option. Following is our resolution series, as well as sharpness, ISO, and tone compensation series.
Resolution Series
ISO Series
Sharpness Series
Tone Compensation Series
|Lens Zoom Range
Zoom performance will vary with the lens used.
I've received a number of requests from readers to take shots showing the lens focal length range of those cameras with zoom lenses. In the case of the D1h, this is a little pointless, since the camera will take pretty much any Nikkor lens you choose to hang on it, but I went ahead and grabbed the wide/tele shots below with the 24-85mm zoom Nikon sent me to use with the camera.
|Musicians Poster (1290 k)
For this test, I shot with the Auto (1290 k), Daylight (1291 k), and Manual (1291 k) white balance settings, choosing the Auto setting as the most accurate overall. The Manual setting produced good results as well, though just slightly cool, while the Daylight setting resulted in a warm cast (possibly in response to the large amount of blue in the composition). Skin tones look more natural in the Auto white balance, so I chose it for the main image. The Oriental model's blue robe is nearly accurate, without any strong purple tints. (This is a tough blue for many digicams to get right.) Resolution is high, with a lot of fine detail visible throughout the frame, particularly noticeable in the embroidery of the blue robe.
|Macro Shot
Macro performance will vary with the lens used. - 'Could have shot
with my 100mm f/2.8 Micro Nikkor, but this is really entirely a lens
test, rather than one of the camera itself...
|"Davebox" Test Target (1214 k)
I shot samples of this target using the Auto (1219 k), Daylight (1218 k) and Manual (1214 k) white balance settings, and noticed the most accurate results with the Manual setting. The Auto setting resulted in a nearly accurate color balance, though it appeared just a hint warm, while the Daylight setting was very warm. Color looks accurate and well-saturated with the Manual white balance, and the large color blocks look very good. The default exposure came out a bit dark though, so I shot the images here with a +0.7 EV exposure compensation adjustment. (Doubtless I should have used the center-weighted metering option to avoid the problem.) With the positive exposure compensation though, tonal range is good, excellent shadow detail in the briquettes and dark swatches of the gray scales, with very low noise. Following are ISO, hue, and tone compensation series.
ISO Series
Hue Series
Tone Compensation Series
|Low-Light Tests
Outstanding performance with great color and low noise.
The D1H offers extensive control over exposure, with available shutter speeds as long as 15 seconds and a Bulb mode for even longer exposures. This, plus excellent noise-reduction technology meant that the D1H delivered excellent results in this category. The camera captured bright, clear images at light levels as low as 1/16 foot-candle (0.67 lux), at all of the ISO settings tested (200, 400, 800, 1,600, 3,200, and 6,400). Color is accurate and well-saturated in all of the shots, though I had to shoot with the Incandescent white balance setting to avoid a pink color cast. (The photoflood used for this shot is rather warm-hued, roughly 4500K.) Image noise is very low at the 200 ISO setting, and remains moderately low even at ISO 800. Noise increases slightly at the 1,600 ISO setting, becoming much stronger with the 3,200 and 6,400 ISO settings (as you might expect). The table below shows the best exposure I was able to obtain for each of a range of illumination levels at each of the ISO settings. Images in this table (like all of our sample photos) are untouched, exactly as they came from the camera.
|Flash Range Test
Because flash power and range will vary with the flash used, and the D1H does not feature a built-in fill flash, I did not perform this test.
|ISO-12233 (WG-18) Resolution Test (1231 k)
Strong detail to 900 lines/picture height.
The D1H performed well on our "laboratory" resolution test chart. It started showing artifacts in the test patterns at resolutions as low as 650-700 lines per picture height, in both horizontal and vertical directions. I found "strong detail" out to at least 900 lines. "Extinction" of the target patterns occurred at about 1,200 lines.
Optical distortion on the D1H will vary depending on the lens in use. During our testing, I shot with a 24-85mm f/2.8-4.0 Nikkor zoom lens, which produced a slight amount of distortion, roughly 0.67 percent barrel distortion from the wide angle setting. Chromatic aberration was almost nonexistent, showing only about one or two very faint pixels of coloration on either side of the target lines. (This distortion is visible as a very slight colored fringe around the objects at the edges of the field of view on the resolution target.)
Resolution Series, Wide Angle
Sharpness Series
Viewfinder Accuracy/Flash Uniformity
Good accuracy in both the optical viewfinder and LCD monitor.
The D1H's electronic optical viewfinder was a little tight, showing approximately 93.5 percent frame accuracy when I tested it. (Nikon claims ~95% frame coverage, so we're in pretty good agreement.) Since I prefer SLR viewfinders to be as close to 100 percent accuracy as possible, the D1H performs fairly well here, but could do a little better.

Taken from the National postFebruary 17.
In late December, the Canadian Real Estate Association predicted that the national average price for a home will be $391,000 in 2014. But it's hard to compare how far your buck will go in Canadian cities using that figure, since the average prices are so very different: $785,574 in Vancouver and $320,693 in Montreal, for instance. So we took a round figure in the middle and surveyed what approximately $500,000 could have bought homebuyers in various markets across the country in January.

A nod to the Common Doctor
St. Thomas's article in the Summa Theologiae on "Whether it is lawful to kill a man in self-defense?"has served as the starting point for much of the Church's subsequent thought on the question (not to mention for thinking about the Principle of Double Effect). The body of the article begins:

There may be "too much stuff in the world" (G2, 9 December) but beauty is a commodity in limited supply. If the Tate can afford to fund the Turner prize, perhaps it also has a duty to retain Richard Wright's beautiful golden fresco, despite the artist's legitimate concerns for ephemerality and memory. In the end, of course, mortality will reign supreme, but at least more visitors to the Tate will get to see it and indeed it will attract more visitors to the Tate. As home to the paintings (of Turner and Blake) that inspired the artist, the Tate would signal additional coherence and maturity in its collection. The mellowing of the gold leaf over time would be a beautiful bonus.

For those who are wondering, the governor has ordered flags at stage agencies to be flown at half staff for the death of a Spokane community college instructor.
Spokane Community College instructor Erik Anderson, 38, was killed last week at the SCC student center while working on bowling alley equipment. Anderson, who was teaching a bowling class, was in a pit behind a lane, trying to dislodge a pin, according to The (Spokane) Spokesman-Review.
Anderson served in the Army during the Gulf War and was a popular track coach at Clark College and at the Community Colleges of Spokane. He was a champion runner in collage and was an All-American in four events, the Spokesman-Review reported.


text: I have been lurking for a while and thanks to everyone for all the great information you share here. After lots of research I went ahead and and bought a Black Bird. Hung it in the woods in back of my house and now I'm hooked. Will probably start selling my tents and other gear to raise funds for an underquilt and hammock gear. I'm hoping for some cool weather soon so I can take the hammock backpacking.
