The Columbia Land Trust this week added another prized gem to its growing list of Northwest holdings: more than 3 miles of diverse habitat along the banks of the lower Hood River.
The property transfer, finalized and announced Thursday, gives the Vancouver-based land trust ownership of 299 acres along the river. Hood River County, Ore., will take on another 101 acres at each end of the corridor.
All 400 acres were donated by PacifiCorp, which held the land for decades while it operated the old Powerdale Dam. But severe flood damage ended its electricity production in 2006, and the Portland-based utility removed the hydroelectric facility in 2010.
PacifiCorp agreed to transfer ownership of the surrounding land as part of a decommissioning settlement with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The county and Columbia Land Trust acquired the property at no direct cost, Executive Director Glenn Lamb said this week.
"It's so rare to have one landowner with 3 miles on both sides of the same river that's willing to make a donation," Lamb said.
Like many of the land trust's deals, this transfer was years in the making. The Columbia Land Trust was selected to help lead the process in 2006 with other partners, according to the organization.
The land trust's main goal in securing the land, Lamb said, is protecting and enhancing fish and wildlife habitat along the natural corridor. The organization will also strive to maintain existing recreational uses on the river, potentially enhancing future uses, and respecting tribal rights, said Ian Sinks, the trust's stewardship manager.
"It's a fish and wildlife habitat corridor that is really important, and it's really close to a community that values that," Sinks said.
The corridor stretches along the lower 3.5 miles of the Hood River, into the city of the same name at the waterway's confluence with the Columbia River. Hood River County received 101 total acres on both ends of the property, while the Columbia Land Trust will own the less-developed middle portion of the corridor. Particularly on the north end, a more urban setting falls outside of the land trust's typical scope, Lamb said.
"(That) is a real people place," he said. "Columbia Land Trust is more of a conservation group than a parks department."
The so-called Powerdale corridor sits just across the Columbia River Gorge from another PacifiCorp-owned property, surrounding another dam removal site. Crews finished dismantling Condit Dam on the White Salmon River last year, and many observers are closely watching to see what happens to the area next.
So far, no clear outcome has emerged. But Sinks said the Columbia Land Trust has been contacted about the White Salmon habitat, he said, and would be willing to play a role if conservation is the focus of any ownership transition there.
The Columbia Land Trust has worked to secure and conserve landscapes and habitats since its founding in 1990. The nonprofit has conserved more than 18,000 acres in Washington and Oregon to date.
In a released statement, PacifiCorp said it welcomes this week's transition that leaves the Powerdale land in good hands.
"We know Columbia Land Trust and Hood River County will continue this tradition of recreation so that the canyon will always be a place where you can safely enjoy nature," said Todd Olson, PacifiCorp program manager. "PacifiCorp worked with them to transfer full responsibility for these lands, which is in the best interests of our customers and all those who enjoy the lower Hood River."

Vegan but not the bestPosted on 08 / 30 / 2014
I've ate two times in this restaurant and I appreciated but I think other places in Paris do it clearly better. The food is good and vegan, but has nothing special: it's asiatic mock-meat food in its rather basic version. Moreover, I found that portions are a bit small.
In terms of service, I have nothing peculiar to say. It was correct and we enjoyed the meal in this colourful place.
Cons: small portions, other places do it better

Marco Polo
this wiki
This article is about the explorer. For the musical composition, see Marco Polo (composition).
|Marco Polo
|Appears in
|Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (mentioned & multiplayer)
Marco Polo was a Venetian trader and explorer who plays a central role in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
Biography Edit
Marco Polo (September 15, 1254 – January 9, 1324 at earliest, but no later than June 1325) gained fame for his worldwide travels, recorded in the book Il Milione ("The Million" or The Travels of Marco Polo) also known as Oriente Poliano (the Orient of the Polos) and the Description of the World. Ma comunque gli puzza il culo più di quello di Joey
He learned about trading whilst his father and uncle, Niccolò and Maffeo, voyaged through Asia and met Kublai Khan. In 1269, they returned to Venice to meet Marco for the first time. The three of them embarked on an epic journey to Asia, returning after 24 years to find Venice at war with Genoa; Marco was imprisoned, and dictated his stories to a cellmate. He was released and became a wealthy merchant, married and had 3 children. He died in 1324, and was buried in San Lorenzo. He said on his deathbed that, "I did not tell half of what I saw, for I knew I would not be believed."
Uncharted 2: Among ThievesEdit
Marco Polo left China with 600 passengers and 14 ships loaded with treasure from Kublai Khan. He landed in Persia one and a half years later, with only 1 ship & 18 passengers. Polo recorded all of his details but never explained what happened to his passengers and ships in his journals.
During those one and a half years, Marco Polo found the lost city of Shambhala & the fabled Cintamani Stone. Before he found the city, he came into possession of a phurba, that he later described as 'a/the golden passport' to find Shambhala. Using this phurba, he went on to find "a field of exquisitely finished temples, hundreds of gilded spires stretching as far as the eye can see between greater India and the province of Tibet" (this wasn't the exact message). He designated one temple by looking for shared markings with the phurba. After solving the puzzles in the temple, he came to an underground chamber that showed the location of Shambhala in the Himalaya Mountains.
He ventured to the Himalayas and reached a monastery. By going to the top of the monastery's tower and solving the puzzle that was given, he located a secret switch. The switch was plugged by the phurba, & the secret path to Shambhala was opened underneath a tree. Once there, he had to turn two blades on the wall of the underground room they reached. As soon as that was done, he lit a brazier of sorts with blue resin. Once there, he inserted the phurba into the newly shown pocket (illuminated by the blue fire given off by the resin) and the gates of Shambhala were revealed. He ventured across the caverns and opened the gates by turning cylinders along the wall. He entered Shambhala and found the Cintamani Stone. Polo thought that the Cintamani Stone was a sapphire, when it was actually amber/resin. It was fossilized tree sap from the Tree of Life.
Despite finding the 'stone', Marco Polo elected not to take it. He would later write in his journal "I would've sooner endured the wrath of Kublai Khan himself than remove the Cintamani Stone from that sacred shrine". Presumably, he saw the effects that the tree sap/resin had on humans when eaten (blackened teeth, driven to insanity, superhuman strength etc.). Polo & his crew left Shambhala, but not before taking some more resin with them.
After leaving the Himalayas, Polo and his crew were hit by a tsunami and driven into the west coast of Borneo. It was there that 582 of his passengers (or less, if some of his crew were left at Shambhala; also, not enough bodies in the ruin when Nate finds them) killed each other after being driven mad by the effects of the resin. One of the 582 had the phurba and a map to the the Nepalese temple on him. The following message was written on the map: Between greater India and the province of Tibet lies a field of exquisitely finished temples, hundreds of gilded spires stretching as far as the eye can see. In addition to the people, he lost 13 ships. Search ""G4bri Art"" on Facebook for more information. That's cool
After his ordeal in Borneo, he and his family were attacked by thieves. To ensure safety of the world, he hid some resin and a piece of parchment in a Mongolian oil lamp given to him by Kublai Kahn. The parchment had to be cast in the fire of the resin to reveal its message; "Our ships were driven by a great floodtide into the wilds of Java, as if the ocean itself sought to throw off the terrible cargo we carried from Shambhala, the curse of the Cintamani". In one of his journals, a message about the lamp was written in 13th century Latin. With this, Marco Polo landed in Persia and continued on his with life until his death.
Trivia Edit
- How Marco Polo came into contact with the phurba is unknown. What is even stranger is how he recovered the phurba when he used it to enter Shambhala for the first time, given that the phurba was seemingly gone forever when Nate used it.
- Marco Polo is one of five anthropomorphic skeleton skins in Uncharted 2 Multiplayer (the others being Skelzor, Genghis Khan, Glowzor and Platzor). Polo is the only one that is on the heroes side.
- In Uncharted 3 Multiplayer, however, for some very odd reason, Marco Polo has Lieutenant Draza's voice, despite being a skeleton (most likely for game balancing reasons). This also applies to Skelzor, Sir Francis Drake, and Genghis Khan.
- During Chapter 6 - Desperate Times of Uncharted 2, if Nate enters the swimming pool at the Hotel Shangri-La's top floor, he'll attempt to play Marco Polo with Chloe, with her reluctantly participating.
- During Chapter 14 - Cruisin' for a Bruisin' of Uncharted 3, if Nate enters the swimming pool on the cruise ship he will attempt to play Marco Polo to which no one replies as he's on his own. Doing so will unlock the trophy 'Marco Solo'.
- During Chapter 12 - At Sea of Uncharted 4, if Nate swims near the sunken ship he will attempt to play Marco Polo with Sam, who replies "Marco what?". Doing so will unlock the trophy 'Marco Polo Returns!'.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

"We just received our invitations and they are beautiful. The actual invites look even better in person. We loved the purple color, but chose the oranges to fit into our fall winery theme, which it did perfectly. The cards are beautiful and we are so happy with our choice!"
"This invitation was simple and perfect. We had a lot of information to print and it fit beautifully without looking too crowded. The quality of the paper and the color was beautiful!"
"I was looking for a postcard where i could upload quite a few pictures and edit the wording. I was able to speak with a customer serice rep and who was more than helpful, making the entire process easy. I received the postcards quickly and they look great. I truly appreciate the professionalism of Wedding Divas and will definitely use you again in the future."
"We used this for our wedding invitations and customized the silhouette color to Verbena to fit our wedding colors. I also asked Wedding Paper Divas to customize the wording since the site of our reception was different from the ceremony. The designer did this for me; no problem. We were married in Hawaii and the site of our ceremony was similar to the card design, which is why we picked this one. It's a beautiful, classic design, and simple enough not to distract from the wording of the invitation. I received a lot of compliments on these invitations and highly recommend them!"
"Everything was great about this design. We used the periwinkle colour and got lots of compliments. Great service re the design. We altered the text quite a bit and all worked out perfectly."

Even as diamonds have been used to fund violent conflicts in parts of Africa, colored gemstones currently support the military regime of Myanmar, the country formerly known as Burma. Myanmar's military government regularly holds colored gemstone auctions, which have prompted the US and human rights organizations to call for a boycott. Despite these calls, a November 2007 sale generated 150 million US dollars for the repressive regime. Myanmar's gem mines are dominated by military authorities and plagued by deplorable conditions, including rampant land confiscation, extortion, forced labor, child labor, environmental pollution and unsafe working conditions.
While the US placed a ban on all exports from the nation in 2003, lax regulations and tracking of gemstones have allowed them to continue to flow into the US unabated. The ban was further undercut by a loophole introduced the following year allowing stones cut and polished in other countries to be imported. Over 90 percent of Myanmar's gems are exported in the rough form, primarily to cutting and polishing facilities located in Thailand.
Even when gemstone proceeds aren't being used against a population, communities in gem-rich regions do not always benefit from their natural resources. In countries like Madagascar, Cambodia, and Brazil, gem mining communities survive close to, or below, the poverty threshold. Because they export rough gemstones to other countries for cutting and polishing, these communities receive the bare minimum for their precious high value products and are unable to invest in community development.

DEHEISHE REFUGEE CAMP, West Bank -- After the cafe explosion, the bus bombing or the carnage on a crowded Israeli street, the parents of the Palestinian suicide attacker can usually be counted on to express pride and declare their child a martyr headed directly to paradise.
But these days, some parents are more like Ahmed Draghemeh, a middle-class Palestinian electrician whose eyes showed only pain and bafflement. Until he heard his son's name on television, he said, he had no idea the teen-ager was planning to blow himself to pieces in order to kill Israelis.
For years, Palestinian suicide attackers have tended to fit a standard profile: a lone, deeply religious youth, probably from a poor family, usually affiliated with a radical group like Hamas or Islamic Jihad.
As the Israeli-Palestinian conflict drags on, however -- it will reach, later this month, the melancholy milestone of 11/2 years of unabated fighting -- suicide bombers are beginning to depart from long-established norms.
In recent weeks, some attackers have been secular rather than religious, or women instead of men, or appeared politically indifferent, or grew up in an educated, middle-class family that would never have dreamed of such a bloody destiny for their child.
Such was the case with Ahmed Draghemeh's 17-year-old son, Mohammed, who carried out a March 2 attack in a religious neighborhood of Jerusalem that killed 10 Israelis, including several infants and children, as people were emerging from their synagogues at the close of the Sabbath.
Mohammed had attended a Christian-run high school in Bethlehem. He was Muslim, but neither he nor his family were religiously observant. His father had never heard him talk about politics, or about Israeli soldiers' incursions in and around Bethlehem.
Before he carried out his attack, he -- like many others -- was photographed with an assault rifle and a backpack to be filled with explosives.
His father had nothing to say about shahids -- martyrs-- or paradise, or the Palestinian cause. He said he felt he didn't even know the boy in the picture -- now made into a poster that dots the doors and walls of his refugee camp.
"I cried when I saw it," Ahmed Draghemeh said, his hands trembling too badly to pour his coffee. "I couldn't believe this was my son, who grew up before my eyes. I never imagined he had in him this despair."

Anyone using funnel fill ink cartridges on the epson 7900 or 9900? Or, can anyone suggest

Trapped in the Spider Pit by 34QuckerWatch
©2013-2016 34QuckerMature Content
Here's my first Spider pic! I was originally only going to draw that girl in the middle, but things got a little craycray and turned into this! Plus, seeing as Halloween is around the corner, I'd figured something spooky would be fitting for the season~!
I really liked doing this piece, and I was mostly inspired by people like =solidzesnake, ~spiderweber, ~Veeshan123, and =TheLadyJ
Hopefully I'll make some more mummification pieces in the future~!

I wonder what happens after their eaten, like they can't just die that'd be too sick macabre even for Halloween :/
It's best not to think about such things...
Awe shit, thank you! I'm always happy to support you, thanks for all the great art!
No Problem~! (And good to see you back~!)
this is good but scary too and you know looking that is makes me think of this horror movie that had something like this.
Poor girls, they must be scared shitless knowing they'll soon be food for baby spiders! I suppose if they mess themselves the silk will act like a natural diaper though
The big spiders have to eat too~! I don't think they'll be messing though...but a spider/diaper pic doesn't sound like a bad idea...~!
Oh, look at that, there's even a bit of vore going on slightly left of the top right
Me likes.
Yeah, pretty much, a lot of those girls being dragged into the holes are gonna end up in the spider's stomachs!
There's something about giant spider pits full of helpless ladies that gets me turned on xD
very nice work. I hope you make more mummification pics in the future as well. Looking at this, i'm really glad to see a netlike web being used. there's not enough net trap love. XD good work, and I hope to see more.
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you like it! Yeah, I've wanted to do a net bondage thing for a while now, so I thought: why not spiders? lol. I'm definitely planning on doing more mummification, I love it so much! (First I need to figure out what to do lol). I love your stuff by the way, it's really fantastic!
thanks. I'm glad you enjoy my stuff. I really can't wait to see more from you. if you need any help, or just want to chat, feel free to note me. I'm a friendly guy when you get to know me, and i always like talking spiders, bondage, cocooning, mummification.
lovely work .
O_O gonna be a feast tonight
Lovely lovely spiders!
Valoria: Dirty beasts! *cuts on in half*
Valoria: Dirty beasts! *cuts on in half*
very nice! thats a lot of damsels. awesome work
Thanks! Yeah, decided to go all out for this one! Might as well, right~?
yeah! hope to see more cocoon stuff from you in the future lol. lovely work here
Gets my seal of approval. Good job
Wow, I helped to inspire this? This is a pretty good first attempt at spider silk! These cuties work pretty well in your style though I personally am not a fan of nudes
Thank you so much~! Yeah, your work was a real help for this one! And I'm pretty ok with nudes, honestly it just sort of happened as I was making it~!
It is tastefully done, it is just personal preference. How did my work effect the outcome of this just curious?
The way you draw spiders and the silk. I really like how you make your spiders so realistic, it adds to the picture and gives it more of a darker vibe, which I like~! And the silk is also really nicely done on your part, making each strand stand out, it's very nicely done! Other than that, I really like your perils too, the way the girls are caught and mummified in webbing is great!
awww thanks, webbing has always been a fun picture for me though it has taken a very long time to get right

Offbeat: The Ides of March Are Bearing Gifts for ChristmasChicago Artists, Folk-rock, Holiday Music, In Memoriam, Interviews, News and Dish, Pop, Prog-rock, Record Reviews, Rock, Singer-Songwriter No Comments »
By Dennis Polkow
"There is something lacking in a lot of current Christmas music," admits legendary Chicago singer-songwriter-guitarist Jim Peterik. "A simple thing called spirituality. When it's only about mistletoe and eggnog, it kind of misses the point. I don't mind fun Christmas songs, believe me, but there also has to be some substance."
Peterik's longtime band, the Ides of March, has released two Christmas albums over the years, and this year, is releasing its third, "The Meaning of Christmas." "Are we forgetting the meaning of Christmas in all the hoopla? That's the whole idea: where did Christmas start? Why do we celebrate it? That's my goal, really. And they're not all religious or spiritual songs but there's a thread that's running through them: let's not forget the meaning of Christmas." Read the rest of this entry »

About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Vuelta Corsa HD Road Wheelset:
6'9" 260 pound Hillbilly : I started out with my stock trek wheels that constantly needed to be trued, The Rear was of course the worst , I have around 8000 mi on my first set before i needed a hub replacement ( the GUTS ) havnt Broke a Spoke Yet. Weight Doesnt matter (YOU STILL GOTTA PEDAL IT!!!) I would rather be 100 miles out on a set of HD's than a cute little set of lite wheels that may leave me STRANDED.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Awesome wheelset for the price!
By Burgrat
from Reno, NV
I'm a big guy (6'3", 280lbs.). These wheels are very sturdy, they stay true, and the are a great value! I use them mainly for training and fitness. The have stayed true, even with my weight. They are not lightweight by any means, but I'm not concerned with that for my use. These are not racing wheels, but they will serve you well for training, commuting, etc.If you use a coupon code or find a good sale at Nashbar, you can get these for less than $130 total. You won't find a better wheelset for the price!
Great Road Wheels for a big guy
By Ken B
from Kalamazoo, MI
About Me Casual/ Recreational
See all my reviews
These are by far the best road wheels I have found in terms of durability. I ride alot of city and paved bike trails with my road bike and these stand up to the potholes and ruts. I weigh about 250 and am obviously rough on wheels. These needed truing about 1/4 as much as other sets I've had. They also look really sharp. If you are looking for a tough set of wheels for your 700c bike, you can't beat the durability and price of the HDs. My only problem is you can't buy just one as a replacement. My front wheel got hit by a truck and broke the hub, but still rode for another 2 months before it really started to sway. Other than that, Highly recommend!
Strong wheel
By Mike
from Parkville, mo
Front wheel immediately came out of true, but has been great ever since. These bomb proof wheels provide a stable ride for this 275lb rider.
Bomb Proof
By Clydesdale Anthony
from Minneapolis, MN
About Me Commuter
After going through two wheel sets from breaking spokes from riding terrible roads and being 250 lbs I was set on getting these wheels rather than paying $450/wheel for a built for you wheel. Couldn't be happier with these wheels. They feel bomb proof, don't even wobble and glide down the road. Buy these if you not a typical biker ( Over 150 lbs)
Super wheels
By Tom
from San Diego
Fantastic wheels. I'm a heavy rider (225lbs) and these wheels really hold up very well. This is my second set - I got 13,700 miles out the first set when I started breaking spokes. I ride for exercise and these wheels are smooth and sturdy.Highly recommend
3000 miles later
By CL
from Buffalo, NY
Rode these wheels well over 3000 miles in a 6 month period and they are still true. I weigh 250lbs and often cycle with a 20lb backpack. I've hit many potholes and even crashed a once and the wheels are still holding true. Well worth the money.
Vuelta Corsa HD Road Wheelset
By Award23
from Salt Lake City, UT
Great looking wheels, and so far seem to be very sturdy. Using on my commuter bike. Wheels are great for rough roads, and heavier loads on the bike. Pleased with them after 3 weeks of riding them around 25 miles a day.
Over 4K and going strong
By Dima wants more time to bike
from New Jersey
After 4000 miles wheel set is going strong. Not afraid to take them on any type of roads. A must for riders over 200lbs. Great price, great training wheel. Went for the 11x32 10speed setup with this wheel as its on the heavy side with me up steep hills.
as advertised, with a few comments
By NavERdoc
from Yucca Valley, CA
if you measure every gram that goes on your bike, these are not for you...at 2400gm/set, they are 400+ grams heavier than most of the other wheels under $200. If stronger-than-they-need-to-be, bomb-proof construction is a virtue, these are worth consideration. I have done 100 miles so far on rough rural quasi-paved roads, so not even broken yet, but they ride quite smoothly and needed only a small amount of spoke adjustment to true up (typical per Nashbar cust svc).a couple of issues I wasn't expecting:1. you need long valve stem tubes, standard too short2. freewheel rotation seemed quite rough out of thebox, Nashbar said this is typical, and will improve with use...which seems to be true, so far.3. one wheel had a scratch on the rim, not desirable for a new item, but not a show stopper for me (Nashbar offered to replace it).I'll add more after 1000 miles, sooner if issues..

Birth Place: Germany
Born: 06/16/1947
Birth Place: Germany
Kaufmann's career was almost entirely bound up with Fassbinder and petered out after the director's death. He is actually a much more interesting figure for his role in Fassbinder's life than for any of the competently played but often minor roles he essayed in the filmmaker's oeuvre. Married and the father of two when he became involved with Fassbinder, Kaufmann was that rare figure who was not perennially kept off balance by the tortured genius' immense ego and seething temperament. Indeed, it was Kaufmann who did the upsetting. During their affair in 1970, Kaufmann could accede to Fassbinder's wishes or drive the director mad with jealousy by spending time with his wife or other male sex ... Continue Bio >>

If your child is anything like mine, he can sleep through the apocalypse, once he's deep in sleep. Seriously, 15 minutes into a nap, the fire brigade could pull up in front of our house with sirens wailing, and he wouldn't do anything more than sigh deeply and roll to one side. However, falling asleep requires a special kind of silent juju that I still haven't got straight, after two kids.
Yes, it's been 25 years since I was an awkward teenager, screaming pop ballads out my car window on the way to my job at K-Mart. Like many people, the songs of my teen years hold a special place in my heart. So this week I'm taking the Delorean to 1990 and remembering what the Top Five Songs were on Billboard's Top 100 chart this week way back when.
The cousin of the Skinny Bitch, this drink is for people worried about both their sugar and sodium intakes. You're either a young woman or a beefy guy with a chinstrap beard and faux-tattoo t-shirt. You've asked for the drink with extra lime because you want to distract yourself from the worst tasting water ever.
More cookies for the customers. More overeating. Less special, more mundane. And all resulting in more injuries to players in a league already beset with a concussion crisis -- a league purportedly acting with the best interests of its greatest assets in mind -- and injured stars subsequently being replaced by less-talented players. All of which equals a dangerously diluted product.
Sometimes five minutes is all we need. It's all we need to put everything else in our messy, beautiful lives into perspective. And if I was really being honest, it's not about five minutes before or five minutes later -- it's really about living out both the frustrating and the pleasurable in life, at one and the same time.
Do you really want to know why a barista not remembering their name offends people? Because people think they are special. Everyone thinks that his or her drink order is special and that his or her name is special. Everyone is too busy being offended about how they are special to realize that to an hourly employee trying to get by, you're just another non-fat, extra hot, no foam double latte.
I've been meaning to write this to you for some time, but to be honest, I've been so huddled up under layers of sweatshirts and blankets that it makes using a keyboard difficult. I suppose all that's really done is prolong the inevitable. But our time has come. I think it's time we re-evaluate our relationship.
It's that time of year again, when critics, reviewers, amateur enthusiasts of all things aural pull tiny muscles in their large heads compiling and posting for public consumption their lists of Top Albums of the Year. A female friend once pointed out that these oftentimes inane lists are (strangely, suspiciously) almost always the domain of men. We demand demarcation. We want to know. We need to know.
Turkey Day is upon us, and millions of Americans will be getting together with family and friends for food, football, and fun. Lots of food, actually. The average American will ingest an estimated 4,500 calories on that one day. Here are more facts about (American) Thanksgiving. Or as we call it in Canada: Thursday.

I love Lupinra by the way. The art is amazing! And I agree with OokamiReki about the staff. The eye on it reminds me of the Eye of Horus. And doesn't Lucario already have Fighting and Steel as its type? If a new type comes up though, I think it would be Dark. Lucario resembles a Jackal and is bipedal, which reminds me of Anubis.
Heheh, excuse my overuse of Egyptian Mythology.

I'm having a bit of trouble with disk usage on a Windows 2003 Server with AD using roaming profiles. Turns out the users Outlook related files (.ost, .pst and .tmp files) gets saved in their roaming profiles, thus using up a lot of space on the server. I was thinking of moving the roaming profiles to another machine with more storage (moving the actual folders and pointing out the new location for each user).
Will I break stuff this way? I'm mostly concerned about Outlook (we're using 2007 btw) and it's picky ways of using the .ost and .pst files.

Why not just keep it hidden till the game releases? Wouldn't that make it a bit more suspensful?
Also, the story is quite promising. I like where your going with this project. I know it's in the the early stages, so I ain't going to critique you. But like I said, it's looks intensly promising. I especially like the thought put into the Muhto Region. Pretty dayum awesome, mang! ^__^
Imagine if someone Sprited that trainer pic in my Trainer Card? Gawd dayum...that'd be magnificent. Talk about a hardcore Main Character in a Pokemon Game. Haha!

Skip to comments.Nuclear Space Ship SSTO Proposal
Posted on 09/23/2005 2:45:56 PM PDT by tricky_k_1972
This is an excerpt of a very lengthy explanation of what a nuclear SSTO (Single Stage To Orbit) fully reusable rocket would look like. The full article can be found at the link above.
In this section I describe a huge nuclear powered rocket launcher. I will repeat and expand upon many of the points I made above, because I don't want to throw cryptic acronyms around. I want people to understand just how powerful we can make this rocket if we decide to do it.
The most important difference between our new booster and the Saturn V is in the engines. The Saturn V used five massively powerful F1 engines in the first stage, burning kerosene and liquid oxygen. The mighty F1 produced 1.5 million pounds of thrust. Despite its large size and power, the F1 was a very "relaxed" design. It ran well inside the possible performance envelope. The reason it did so was to increase reliability. This is a sound design principle, so I will apply it to the new launcher wherever possible.
For an engine, I will designate a Gaseous Core Nuclear Reactor design, of the Nuclear Lightbulb subvariant. I like the gas core design for a number of reasons, and the nuclear lightbulb variant for several more.
To recap, the efficiency and power of the thruster is based on the difference in temperature between the fissioning mass and the reaction mass. If you run a solid core NTR much above 3000 C, it melts. This provides a firm "ceiling" on how efficient a solid core reactor can be. A gas core design STARTS melted. In addition, since all of the structure of the fuel mass is dynamic, a gas cored reactor is inherently safer than a solid core device. If a "hot spot" develops in a solid core, disaster ensues. If a hot spot develops in a gas core, the hot spot superheats and "puffs" itself out of existence. A gas core reactor is expected to operate at temperatures of 25,000C. The much higher temperature gradient makes the thruster inherently more efficient.
Second, a solid core reactor has a "fixed" core, since it is solid. A gas core reactor does not, and the radioactive fuel is easily "sucked" out of the core and stored in a highly non-critical state completely out of the engine! The fuel storage system I propose is a mass of thick walled boron-aluminum alloy tubing. As I said above, the fuel proper is uranium hexaflouride gas. UF6 is mean stuff, but we have decades of experience handling it in gaseous diffusion plants, and common aluminum and standard seals are available which resist attack from it. It is stoichiometric, fluorine is low activation, and UF6 changes phase at moderate temperatures, allowing it to be converted from high pressure gas to a solid and back again using nothing fancier than gas cooling and electrical heaters. This naturally makes dealing with the engine easier.
In addition, the design of the gas core allows the addition and removal of fuel "on the fly." The core can also have its density varied by control of the vortex, which directly affects criticality. Both of these elements allow very potent control inputs to be applied to a gas core reactor which are very stable and unaffected by the isotopic condition of the fuel mass.
Also, to repeat, due to the extremely high temperature gradient in the motor, the main cooling of the fissioning mass is not conductive but radiative, a mode which is inherently less susceptible to perturbations. (Having no working fluid for cooling means no material characteristics for the working fluid must be considered.) This radiative cooling mechanism is what allows the "lightbulb" system to work. The silica bulb just has to be transparent enough to let the gigantic power output of the fissioning core flow through, while keeping the radioactive material of the core safely contained inside the thruster. No radioactive materials leak out of the exhaust, it is completely "clean."
Third, a gas cored reactor has several potential "scram" modes, both fast and slow, and the speed of the reaction is easily "throttled" by adding and removing fuel or by manipulating the vortex. A 'scram' is an emergency shutdown, usually done in a very fast way. For example: a gas cored reactor can be fast scrammed by using a pressurized "shotgun" behind a weak window. If the core exceeds the design parameters of the window, which are to be slightly weaker than the silica "lightbulb," then the "shotgun" blasts 150 or so kilos of boron/cadmium pellets into the uranium gas, quenching the reaction immediately. A slightly slower scram which is implemented totally differently is to vary the gas jets in the core to instill a massive disturbance into the fuel vortex. This disturbance would drastically reduce criticality in the fission gas. A third scram mode, slightly slower still, is to implement a high-speed vacuum removal of the fuel mass into the storage system. Having three separate scram modes, one of which is passively triggered, should instill plenty of safety margin in the nuclear core of each thruster. Extensive work was done on gas core reactors, and 25 years ago several experimental designs were built and run successfully. There were technical challenges, but nothing that seems insurmountable or even especially difficult given our current computer and material skills.
The engine I propose is this:
A Gas cored NTR using a silica lightbulb. The silica bulb is cooled and pressure-balanced against the thrust chamber by high pressure hydrogen gas. The cooling gas from the silica bulb is used to power three turbopumps "borrowed" from the Space Shuttle Main Engine. These pumps are run at a very relaxed 88 percent of rated power at their maximum setting. The three pumps move 178 kilos of liquid hydrogen per second combined. Most of this is sprayed into the thrust chamber. A portion of the liquid hydrogen is forced into cooling channels for the thrust chamber and expansion nozzle, where a portion of it is bled from micropores to form a cooling gas layer. The gaseous hydrogen that is not bled then flows down the silica lightbulb to cool it, and the cycle finally goes into powering the turbopumps.
This engine produces 1,200,000 pounds of thrust, with an exhaust velocity of 30,000 meters per second, from a thermal output of approximately 80 gigawatts. This equates to an Isp of 3060 seconds. Several sources state that a gas core NTR can exceed 5000 seconds Isp, so 3060 is well inside the overall performance envelope. The three turbopumps from the SSME are run at low power levels, and even losing a pump allows the engine to continue running as long as there is no damage to the nuclear core. Lets assume this design is able to achieve a thrust to weight ratio of ten to one, so the engine and all of its safety systems, off-line fuel storage, etc, weighs 120,000 pounds. I think we can build this engine easily for 60 tons.
We have the engine. Now to design the entire vehicle.
Since we are using the Saturn V as our template, we will make the new machine about the same weight, or six million pounds launch weight. With our engines giving 1.2 million pounds of thrust, we need at least five to get off the ground. But, since we have the power of nuclear on our side, we will use seven engines instead of five. Why seven? The most vulnerable moments of a rocket launch are the first fifteen seconds after launch. If we have to scram a motor in those fifteen seconds, having two extras is very comforting. Engine failures further along the flight profile are much easier to recover from, and having two spare engines allows us to be very "chicken" on our criteria for scramming a motor. We can shut one down even at one second after launch if we need to with no risk of crashing the entire vehicle. This further lowers the risk of nuclear power as a means of getting off the earth. With seven engines, we have a thrust of 8.4 million pounds available. In addition, the turbopumps can "overthrottle" the engines easily in dire straits. This gets more thrust at the expense of less Isp.
Let's design the vehicle for a total DeltaV of 15 km per second. This is very high for a LEO booster, but the reason for it is to allow enough reaction mass to perform a powered descent. In other words, this is a true spaceship, that flies up and then can fly back down again.
The formula to calculate DeltaV from a rockets mass is: DeltaV = c * ln(M0/M1).
'c' is exhaust velocity of the engines and equals 30,000 m/s.
'ln' is the natural log.
'M0' is the initial mass of the vehicle, and we have set this to be 6 million pounds.
'M1' is the mass of the vehicle when it runs dry of reaction mass.
The value of M1 is what we need to find, since we know we want a total DeltaV of 15,000 m/s.
Doing a little simple math, we find we need 2,400,000 pounds of reaction mass. Since we are using liquid hydrogen, we can now calculate the size of the hydrogen tank needed, which is 15,200 cubic meters. This works out to be a whopping 20 meters in diameter and 55 meters long!
We look at the Saturn V and find our new booster is going to be quite plump compared to the sleek Saturn V, but we have no choice if we want to use liquid hydrogen as reaction mass. Since hydrogen is the best reaction mass physics allows, and is cheap, plentiful, and we have decades of experience handling it, we will use it.
A design height of 105 meters seems reasonable. We assign 15 meters to the engines, 55 meters for the hydrogen tank, 5 meters for shielding and crew space, and a modular cargo area which is 30 meters high and 20 meters in diameter. This is enough cargo space for a good sized office building!
How heavy is the rest of the vehicle? Well, we already decided that the engines are going to weigh 120,000 pounds each, for a total of 840,000 pounds. (To make a comparison, the entire Saturn V, all three stages, engines and all, weighed a mere 414,000 pounds dry.)
Let's splurge here. With nuclear power, we have the power to splurge. Let's use 760,000 pounds to build all of the structure of the new booster. We use thicker and stronger metal, we use extra layers of redundancy, we make it strong and safe and reliable.
We have now used 2,400,000 pounds for reaction mass, 840,000 pounds for the engines, and 760,000 pounds for the rest of the ship's dry structure. This adds up to 4,000,000 pounds, fully built, fully fueled, ready to launch.
But we said at the beginning, the booster has a design launch weight of 6,000,000 pounds! If it only weighs 4 million pounds ready to launch, the rest must be cargo capacity.
This machine has a Low Earth Orbit cargo capacity of TWO MILLION POUNDS.
It is fully reusable. We gave it enough fuel to fly back safely from orbit.
It has MASSIVE redundancy and multiple levels of safety mechanisms.
Its exhaust is completely clean: It is very difficult to make hydrogen radioactive in a fission reactor. It basically can't happen.
It flies to space with a thousand tons of cargo, and flies back using some gentle aero-braking and its thrusters with another thousand tons of cargo.
This means it has eight times the cargo capacity of the Saturn V, which was not reusable at all. No longer will the Saturn V be the mightiest American rocket. No more resting on our laurels.
With this sort of performance potential, can anyone argue that NTR's are NOT the only sensible course for heavy lift boosters?
There are risks, of course, but careful design and the proper launch site can easily mitigate those risks so that the huge advantages of nuclear propulsion can be realized.
For all those interested on why projects like X-33, Venturestar or any other SSTO (Single stage to Orbit) eventually fail in today's world without the use of Nuclear power from an engineering standpoint, I will direct you here:
The Cold Equations Of Spaceflight
The Freeper discusion on the topic:
I've been dreaming to see this for YEARS now.
This is a temporary Ping List. Some people were added for a perceived interest in this specific topic. If you have never been pinged to on my list and do not wish to be pinged again, do nothing.

The main obstacles to nuclear propulsion seem to be political rather than technical.
We all have.
I agree, unfortunately the political obstacles are formidable.
The last time I visited the "What's next?" exhibit at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum, I left angry. The exhibit starts with all sorts of promising technology including NERVA that's been mothballed for decades because "nuclear" became a bad word near the end I found a little Mars exhibit that asked something like, "Should we disturb the prisine environment of Mars with mankind's presence?" Where next? According to that exhibit, the dark ages.
Or they could just build it in secret at groom lake then announce it later.
1000 ton payloads make a big interplantary craft in a hurry.
The guy that wrote this also figured out that you can use it for nuclear waste disposal, so not only is it environmentally "clean" and reusable, it also cleans the environment as it works.
The problem is we're still talking vertical takeoff with 100% of the required fuel and oxidizer from ground level. I know you're promoting nuclear, but that's never going to happen politically.
By using air for oxidizer for roughly half the acceleration, you drastically reduce the required weight for oxidizer, and thus reduce the fuel required and the size of the vehicle that must carry it, thus saving even more fuel. The savings snowball.
Aerodynamic lift up to 100k feet is far more efficient than vertical takeoff, saving even more fuel, and allowing smaller engines.
Taking off with only partial fuel, and tanking via garden variety Air Force tanker allows takeoff with even smaller engines than lifting the whole thing from a runway. An SR-71 can't even get off the runway with full fuel, and I'm sure a runway to orbit vehicle would not either.
The months required, if not years, for building/refurbishing very large rockets will run the cost up just as it did the Shuttle, which originally was supposed to have turn around times measured in weeks.
Yes, we need high lift unmanned rockets to get large components into space, at least until we can fabricate them on the moon, mars, or asteroids (which will be a long time from now). But human transport and resupply should be via some kind of Turbo/Ram/Scram/Rocket aircraft. Yes the development cost would be extraordinarily high. But until we build such a thing that can be re-flown within a day of landing, or less, then space flight will be only dreams and fodder for government pork.
No thanks.
If I was President that is exactly what I would do, and damn the consequences, at least I could leave that much of a legacy for the American people and the world.
Chemical powered booster: really, really, expensive.
This is the reason why nuclear propulsion was discarded. There is unfortunately no compelling (economic) reason for manned space travel, and the specialized robotic missions that NASA and similar agencies mount each cost a lot more than the cost of the expendable boosters used launch them.
If we built such a thing, and sent humans to visit Mars and begin to colonize the Moon, I would be thrilled. But it isn't going to happen in our lifetime.
It's possible they already have one and we won't know about it until the political climate is friendly to it's existance. I would sure like to see the ChiComies faces when/if we ever unveil such a wonderful craft.
The president wants a bold new vision for future space travel, he should take advantage of the great american skunk works machine and make it happen. We don't have to know about it until it's a glowing success. (no pun intended)
Maybe a SpaceShip One / Nuke Rocket combo licensing would interest Mr Rutan if their were federal dollars wrapped in a black project just for him.
I love the proposed power source. Even if we can build a space elevator, perhaps the most efficient possible way to LEO, a power plant like this would improve getting around the solar system. If it can be made to work it surely creates better options for spaceflight. Much of the power plant testing could be done safely on ground. The main ground test limitation would be the effects of variable acceleration, from zero to a few G, on the plumbing of the thing.
Narby, man I agree, I know what the smart play is, I just don't think you can convince the general populace that were right.
The new project NASA is talking about is 109 Billion dollars over 5 to 18 years and you already hear squawking over that, and thats less than .5% of today's national budget. Heck if we wanted to do what NASA is proposing we could spend the money and have it all operational within 2 to 3 years and the public wouldn't even notice the expense.
All this, All this crap about the expense of what NASA is currently planning is just that, crap.
My only idea on how to correct the public perception is to have a huge advertising campaign and a income tax check-off for direct spending on NASA like we do with state projects on beef/pork promotion or if you don't like NASA then do the same thing except it goes directly toward private investment.
I like it....now all that we need is someone with the guts to make it happen.
He does discuss that I think, if you read the entire proposal. I just can't bring myself to post ten pages or more on FreeRepublic.
One additional booster method that's been a staple of science fiction stories, has been the use of ground-based lasers to propel a spacecraft outside the atmosphere
The stupid eF'en thing about the whole deal is with this type of rocket you could move most industry off planet and turn the entire planet into a gigantic park, the environ weenies should be pushing this to the hilt.
That is the hard part.
I can't tell for sure if you're agreeing with me on the runway-to-orbit that I'm pushing, or the Nuclear rocket you're talking about. But if it's runway-to-orbit, the way to promote it is to let Rutan and his buddies keep on flying higher and faster and getting headlines. At some point a commercial and/or government critical mass of opinion will develop and we'll do it.
Having SpaceShipOne in the Air and Space Museum down the street from the Congress will help too.
The nuke rocket is a cool engineering idea, but I just can't ever see the nimbys (or the not-over-my-heads) allowing it to happen. We can't even get permission to cut down diseased or half burnt up trees without lawsuits for years, so I can't ever see such a rocket being built for generations. At least until the population gets an entirely different attitude about nuclear.
Very Cool. I wish one would get built!
Yes, your right the initial development is really, really expensive, but unlike most SSTO's this is truly reusable and it can save money simply by being used for nuclear waste disposal.
After all, how much are they spending to create that National Nuclear Waste Disposal site?
Check this out!
I was talking about the runway-to-orbit air-breathing engine design.
The problem I see is Rutan isn't proposing an air-breathing engine design, nor has he ever proposed one. The Roton rocket was sort of the same idea, but even he couldn't get it to work.
I'm not saying that an air-breathing engine to LEO can't work, I know it can, but I think it will take 10 to 30 years of steady, intense, direct engineering to get us there, and nobody that I have seen is even starting in that direction.
I still think that my idea of a tax check-off for direct funding of either NASA or private industry "Prizes" for development is the best way to go.
Yep, but the only way to develop a sustained power source capable of providing this powerful of a laser is, you guessed it, Nuclear power.
Oops, found it. it is in the article above, only it's a really small one line:
Let's design the vehicle for a total DeltaV of 15 km per second. This is very high for a LEO booster, but the reason for it is to allow enough reaction mass to perform a powered descent. In other words, this is a true spaceship, that flies up and then can fly back down again.
oh yes... The project was cancelled. Considered risky.
I was just thumbing through my old Starflight Handbook, the concept was actually tested with the Put-Put....I love those days. That being said, Anthony Tate's numbers for specific impulse are definitely on the conservative side for a gaseous core fission engine....I would pull a tooth to see this built.
That's why we can't launch from the US, but any place that is reasonably close to the equator will do. Is Mexico hungry enough?
But they will anyway, being enviros - there just isn't a whole lot they can do about it.. They tried to stop Galileo and Cassini, didn't they, which also operated only outside the Earth's atmosphere.
With the difference being that a ground-based nuke is inherently safer than a flying nuke
We definitely need a far more powerful engine, most likely nuclear, to do any of these far away trips. What we use now is simply not capable.
I think that the prizes that NASA is offering is a way to go.. SOMETHING THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE YEARS AGO!
They, our masters, could create the legal environment in outer space that would allow private ownership and private development of space resources. Until then, the anti-gov forces who don't want NASA to get a dime sound just like those whining 'poor people' who couldn't get their govcheck cashed so they could get out of Houston.
For those who want private industry in outer space, remember that FedGov is now able to create corporations. Can you imagine Amtrak trying to mine the asteroids? Yet, nobody can compete with Amtrak. NASA go private? Be careful what you wish for.
a few years ago I stumbled across a project in Florida concerning a new type of solid-core nuclear hydrogen rocket.
I lost the link at some point.
IIRC - the core was to be 1m in diameter, made from a stack of ten fissile grids, each 10cm thk.
do you know anything about this project?
as to this article - I like it. Sounds worth pursuing aggressively.
I found out about the KIWI and its descendants shortly after I reinvented the concept in high school chemistry class.
IIRC, it had a thrust to mass ratio of more than double that of the best MODERN chemical rocket.

Hi, what oil is best for Sturmey-Archer hubs, and what can go wrong with the wrong stuff? What about Tri-Flo?
Hi, what oil is best for Sturmey-Archer hubs, and what can go wrong with the wrong stuff? What about Tri-Flo?
I've read somewhere on the forum that the factory lube is like a 20W oil. Although somebody said that they used automatic transmission fluid with good results. It's a higher heat resistance, an oil specifically made for high stress gears. You should do a forum search.
Do not use 3 in 1 as it can gum up due to the vegetable oil component. Generally speaking 20 or 30 weight oil was the factory recommendation. Genuine Sturmey Archer oil was a 20 weight non detergent oil per what I have read.
Gear Hubs Owned: Rohloff disc brake, SRAM iM9 disc brake, SRAM P5 freewheel, Sachs Torpedo 3 speed freewheel, NuVinci CVT, Shimano Alfine SG S-501, Sturmey Archer S5-2 Alloy. Other: 83 Colnago Super Record, Univega Via De Oro
Visit and join the Yahoo Geared Hub Bikes group for support and links.
Current production S-A hubs warn not to use oil - take them to a S-A certified shop for repacking with grease.
How do you keep an idiot in suspense?
I put in whatever I'm using for the car, either 5w30 or 10w30.
I suspect anything will be adequate, though straight 20w or 30w without detergent would be ideal.
Other bad substances:
I'm using ATF nowadays but haven't run the hub for long enough to report the results. Pink is my favorite color, so I had to try it.

ATF works fine. As does Phil Wood Tenacious Oil.
How do you keep an idiot in suspense?
Sturmey tips from Mark Stonich.
Modern factory Sturmey greases: gear, SA103A
bearing, SA103B
Sturmey SA103A is a semi-fluid, NLGI #00 grease, a product that has been developed for industry to replace oils in gearboxes either for longer service life or because the gearbox has developed a leak. That should do fine, if only you can find a small quantity.
How about oil? I've seen the following recomended, all of which seem reasonable:
20wt motor oil
30wt motor oil
10W-30wt synthetic motor oil
automatic transmission fluid
75W-90 gear oil
75W-90 synthetic gear oil
sewing machine oil
Of these I'm personally attracted to the 75W-90 synthetic gear oil. It's locally available in quarts, it's not terribly expensive, it has extremely long shelf and service lives, it's designed for use in non-pressurized lubrication systems and as a purpose designed gear lubricant it has anti-sheer additives.

Based on my knowledge, I use Spectre simulator and after simulation, through Results=> Print Tab, I could print model parameter. While in Hspice is there a similar trick to do this? Any reply is appreciated.
I don't think you can do that (I don't know for sure because I don't have access to that HSPICE version - it's probably best to ask Synopsys since it is their simulator) - but HSPICE writes the model parameters into the simulator output log:
************************************************************************ *************************************************************************** *** model parameters model name: 0:pch model type:pmos *** *************************************************************************** *** general parameters *** deriv= 0. *** level 49 model parameters *** hspver= 2006.03 level= 49 version= 3.3 paramchk= 0 apwarn= 1 lite= 0 vgslim= 0 binUnit= 1 capMod= 3 xpart= 1 mobMod= 1 nqsMod= 0 acnqsMod= 0 stiMod= 0 elm= 5 sfvtflag= 0 tox= 1.2e-08 meter xj= 1.5e-07 meter
Kind Regards,
In reply to Andrew Beckett:
This may partially relates to this topic, but I just noticed that in Spectre Manual (Virtuoso Simulator Components and
Device Models Reference, V12.11 May 2013), there are two instance parameters.
One is:
19 mulu0=1 mobility multiplier. in BSIM3v3 Level-11 Model(bsim3v3) or 65 mulmu0=1.0 Mobility multiplier, alias of mulu0 in BSIM4 Level-14 Model (bsim4).
Another one is:
17 delvto=0 V shift in zer0-bias threshold voltage vth0 in Bsim3v3. or in Bsim4.5 "A new instance parameter DELVTO that may be used to represent threshold voltage variation" And even the equation for delvto is given .
However, these two parameters are only found in manual, not in model cards, or pint model parameters(psf) after simulation. Do they really exist and if so how to retrirve them? In Hspice 2010 vertion manual, these two are given in more detail. But I check hspice.out, still no appearance as well as in model card. It looks both hspic and spectre documented them but I put a question mark on whether any simulator uses them.
In reply to Alex Liao:
It's an instance parameter - so why would they appear in the model cards or in the printed model parameters? There is a difference between an instance parameter and a model parameter - model parametes are used in model cards, whereas instance parameters are used on the instance of the transistor (like w,l,ad,as, etc).
With spectre, these would appear in the "instance" info database in the psf (use the results browser to access this).
So why do you put a question mark on whether the simulator uses them?
Fine, now I know those instance parameters are specified by users like w/l, or generated after simulation like mulu0. In my snapshoot, , it seems those delvt0(V) = nan, mulu0 = nan, what does this mean? There should be certain validated values assigned for them. Also I checked the stimod field which is highlighted. It is stimod = 2147483647. I think this selector can only be 0/1/2.
That means the parameters have not been set on the instance. nan (which stands for "Not A Number" - see this explanation) is being used for any floating point parameters, as it is effectively an invalid value - and just is used to mean that it wasn't set. For integer parameters such as stimod, it uses the largest possible positive 32 bit integer (the value corresponds to 2^31-1) to indicate the same thing - that it wasn't set on the instance.
Is there a case that mulu0 and delvt0 has real value after simulation?
If stimod is not set from element information, then why print model parameter can have stimod = 0. And in your case, you can change it by editing model card. Does this mean, not set then it is default value 0; set then copy seting from model card.
Because (as I said before) setting the instance parameter doesn't change the model itself. The model parameter has a default value of 0 and that is what is displayed in the model parameters unless it has been set to something else in the model card.
I believe (and I'm guessing because I'm replying on a mobile device and have no means of testing this as it's late in my evening) that the instance's effective stimod is whatever is in the model card, or 0 if not set, but if set on the instance, that wins.
[QUOTE=Andrew] Because (as I said before) setting the instance parameter doesn't change the model itself. [/QUOTE].
I now know the instance parameter is irrelated to model parameter. What I want to know is in what case the result browser can have instance paremeter mulmu0 and delvto not equal to nan, but a numerical value. If these two are forever set to nan and not uesd, why bother creating them?
BTW, I wish you have a good weekend and only reply me if you feel comfortable.
