It's been 40 years since the British motorcycle industry imploded with the collapse and disintegration of the BSA/Triumph Group. Once a major industrial conglomerate with interests in machine tools, auto manufacturing and armaments, BSA was easily Britain's largest motorcycle manufacturer, and its demise effectively ended large-scale motorcycle manufacturing in Britain — although Norton did struggle on for a few more years.
The question that has exercised industry commentators and motorcycle journalists ever since is, why? Superficially, the rise of competition from Japanese makers, a lack of product innovation, managerial ineptitude and militant unions all played a part. But, argues Steve Koerner in his new book, The Strange Death of the British Motorcycle Industry, the reasons went much deeper than that. They were fundamentally structural and systemic.
A historian and teacher, Koerner has devoted his academic career to studying Britain's industrial history in the 20th century. Koerner's PhD research in Social History at the University of Warwick in England gave him unprecedented access to the relevant industry files and company records. The Strange Death, while leaning heavily on Koerner's thesis, is a fascinating read that also offers insights into the personalities that shaped the industry — and those who oversaw its collapse. Comprehensive, exhaustively researched, and fully annotated and indexed, if you were only to own one book on the demise of the British motorcycle industry, The Strange Death of the British Motorcycle Industry is the one you must have.

Mississippi lawmakers pass bill that could arm teachers
Bill headed to governor
Mississippi lawmakers passed a bill Wednesday that could allow schools to arm teachers.
The original version of Senate Bill 2659 creates a program to help communities pay for school resource officers. Those law enforcement officers would be charged with policing around primary and secondary schools.
But in the conference process, an additional section was added to the bill to allow financially strapped schools to develop their own security plans. While the bill does not explicitly state that such plans would include arming teachers, the language for the amendment is borrowed from a previous House bill that aimed to arm teachers.
The issue of arming teachers was raised in a House debate on the bill, but the Senate passed it without discussion. The bill goes next to Gov. Phil Bryant.

NEW DELHI: American carmaker, Ford Motor, plans to make India its manufacturing hub for its small car Figo it showcased on Wednesday for the Asia Pacific market. Ford has targeted 2 lakh cars for India by 2010. After unveiling the Figo in Delhi, Ford's president and CEO Alan Mulally said: "The global market is shifting towards smaller cars and India has a predominant advantage with a 70% market for compact cars. With Figo, we plan to get a larger chunk of the premium hatchback market, both in India and overseas." ( Watch )
"Our plan for India involves accelerating development of fuel-efficient small cars. The small car market in India will double in the next one decade," said Mr Mulally. He, however, ruled out plans to compete with Tata Motors' Rs 1-lakh car the Nano and Maruti Suzuki's M800 in the near future.

Bear Essentials: Boston @ Toronto
Saturday, 02.16.2008 / 10:31 AM ET / Bish's Blog
By John Bishop - BostonBruins.com
Good morning everyone! I hope you are enjoying whatever it is you are doing.
I unfortunately am still fighting off a cold/flu thing. It knocked me flat last night, but I think I am through the worst of it, thank goodness.
Happily, and surely to the chagrin of my wife (The General), in order to ensure a complete recovery I plan to stay on the couch all day compiling updates for the site and generally keeping up with the Toronto contingent.
First off, however, we can take advantage of the New England Hockey Journal Show.
The NEHJ Show (890 ESPN in Boston, 1400AM to northern burbs and NH line, and online at www.hockeyjournal.com) will broadcast live from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET with hockey writers Mick Colageo and Matt Kalman in studio and Kevin Paul Dupont reporting from Toronto.
Providence Bruins head coach Scott Gordon will be on at 11:25.The show takes calls and will hold its weekly trivia contest and, as I have said in the past, it is an outstanding way to start your hockey day!
It will be interesting to see what Scott Gordon has to report and usually KPD has some info from the rink to pass on.
The boys should be on the ACC ice around 11:30 and I should be receiving some updates shortly thereafter.
12:03 p.m.
News from from the Toronto contingent: B's forward Glen Murray took the morning off, but was the lone no-show to morning skate from the B's traveling party. Tim Thomas was the first goalie off the ice -- which, of course, generally signals that he will be the starter this evening.
12:34 p.m.
According to Coach Julien, Muzz's absence was just "a maintenance morning."
Aaron Ward is good to go, but reminded the press that Ward's situation was scary.
"Even though he can play tonight, it was still a serious injury," said Coach.
4:41 p.m.
Our Boys are making their way to the rink as we "speak."
5:00 p.m.
TSN.ca is projecting the following lineup for the Leafs:
McCabe-Kubina (sg)Toskala
White-Gill (bg)Raycroft
TSN is also reporting: Robbie Earl was sent back down to the Marlies, while Kyle Wellwood is back in. On defence, Anton Stralman is out and Ian White is back in.
6:30 p.m.
Almost game time. Word from Toronto is that Tim Thomas is the sure starter. I am waiting on the healthy scratches.
NESN's Rob Simpson is reporting that Aaron Ward will play, for sure. As will Chuck Kobasew.
7:04 p.m.
A decent guess:
Chara-Wideman (sg)Thomas
Ward-Ference (bg)Auld
Stuart-Hnidy Go Bruins!
Ok, off to the Running Recap! JB

The Commons should always vote before we go to war
The campaign that has cost the Army 439 lives in Afghanistan was never endorsed by MPs
ON MONDAY, Richard Walker, a sappper from 28 Engineer Regiment, was shot by a member of the Afghan National Army at Patrol Base Hazrat - the 439th British soldier to be killed in Afghanistan.
When British troops were first committed in any numbers to Afghanistan in the summer of 2006 the news came as part of a routine MoD announcement and was never put to the vote in the Commons.
Today the despatch of British troops to war can still be authorised by the prime minister acting alone using the 'royal prerogative' – a pompous mumbo-jumbo term for what amounts to arbitrary power. Even David Cameron used to be with the programme on this one. As long ago as 2006, when Leader of the Opposition, he said that trust in politics could only be restored if MPs had the final say on sending troops to war.
On 21 March 2011, during the debate on the coalition's first military action, in Libya, Foreign Secretary William Hague gave a formal undertaking to MPs as they prepared to vote: "We will also enshrine in law for the future the necessity of consulting parliament on military action."
The debate was held the day after the RAF launched its first raids on Tripoli although Hague seemed sincere at the time. But as of January 2013 there is still no action, no timetable even for a law, to the chagrin of many MPs.
The signs are that the coalition are dragging their feet. The Liberal Democrat, Lord Wallace of Saltaire, who speaks for the government in the Lords on foreign office matters, gave no commitment on legislation when answering questions just before Christmas. In the past few days Whitehall officials from the Foreign Office, the Ministry of Defence and the Cabinet Office have been briefing journalists that they are struggling to come up with a workable solution.
The Falklands War was endorsed by the House of Commons on 3 April 1982 – the morning after the Argentine invasion - at the end of one of the great debates in its history and the first on a weekend since the Second World War. Parliament was behind the armed retaliation, but made it clear that if Mrs Thatcher failed she was finished.
The Iraq War was endorsed by the House of Commons on 18 March 2003. Tony Blair knew he could not despatch 40,000 troops to Iraq without the backing of the Commons. He wasn't sure that MPs would support his flimsy case for war so he 'sexed it up'. It's hard to say, but my guess is that without Blair's porkies the Commons would still have supported him, although a more honest debate might have helped avoid some of the post-war planning failures.
But it is hard to see how the hare-brained plans for deployment to Helmand in 2006 would have survived a parliamentary debate and a vote. Even some of the staff officers involved in the planning thought we were crazy to go anywhere near the place.
Some kind of formalised parliamentary control over the deployment of British forces is clearly necessary – for the protection of our troops and to discipline the thinking of both government and military. The possible benefits and unavoidable dangers need debating in the open each time.
The army I served in from 1980 to 2002 was full of pent-up military testosterone. The nearest most soldiers got to any excitement was patrolling the Falls Road in West Belfast - a depressing and grubby experience occasionally enlivened by snipers, petrol bombers or, most fun of all, a riot. Many looked longingly at the paintings on the mess wall and dreamed of the real thing, preferably somewhere hot.
Even now, after nearly seven years of the slow car-crash in Afghanistan, many officers dread the end of Operation Herrick – and a return to a dull garrison life. But the people to watch out for are the admirals – smarting from the Royal Navy's forced inactivity over the last decade. With two new giant aircraft carriers to play with they will be keen to display their Nelsonian credentials.
The legal requirement for a vote in the Commons would at the very least offer some protection against any future military adventurism.

The search continues for a boater near the St. Marks Lighthouse in Wakulla county. David Clark took his boat out on Monday. His boat came back, but he didn't.
On Tuesday David Clark's son went out to the boat ramp where his dad took off from. He climbed into his father's boat, still trying to take in the tough news.
61 year old David Clark went out on the waters around 5:30 Monday morning. His wife was expecting him back around 1 p.m. but he never showed up. Boaters who visit St. Marks say it's important to communicate with others before heading out.
"We let our significant others know when we go and about where we think we'd be during the day and what time we hope to be home by the evening," says boater Andy Ellis.
This is the boat that Clark was in. The GPS on the boat indicates that the boat took an abrupt left turn at 1:28 pm. At 1:29 p.m. the boat started drifting, and it continued to drift for the next five and a half hours.
Katie Purcell, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation community relations coordinator says, "It's not known for sure if he was ejected or how he wound up out of te boat, but they're trying to locate him at this point."
It wasn't until later Monday evening that Clark's boat was found. Boaters in the area say there are crews who monitor the waters.
A local boater, Bob Cross says, "Refugee personnel monitor this ramp continuously. If there's a car or a boat left here at sunset when it gets dark they're very concerned."
Florida Fish and Wildlife Consesrvation Commission, the coast guard, and the sheriff's office are still out searching.
Boaters say there are safety measures you can take. You can wear a safety lanyard. That way if you get thrown out of the boat, the motor turns off.

I am currently training for my first half-marathon (which is still a ways away), and am working on upping my mileage. Today I ran 6 miles (my longest run to date), but my right knee started to ache around mile 5. And maybe "ache" is the wrong word.....it was maybe more of a tightness that seemed to be a PRE-ache. I run on a lot of concrete, so I'm aware that the poundage on my knees is at a maximum on concrete. I also know that my knees are adjusting to this new running lifestyle. My question is, what do people do to help with aches and pains from wear and tear? I'm pretty sure my shoes are fine.....should I wear a knee brace? Compression garments? Do something else?

First, regarding concrete, you are better off on a flat concrete surface, than on the slanted side of a road. Concrete is indeed hard, but black top is not much softer. The road surfaces, often slanted for better drainage, can create new injuries quickly. Better still for recovery, would be to run on the kind of soft, well maintained grass one might find on a golf course. Just expect to get chased off if that's what you do!
Some will recommend a treadmill, but that depends on the quality of construction. If you do train indoors, turn the incline off. It is likely to hurt more than help. All this is if you continue to run, but I think it's time for a break to rest and analyze what's wrong. You will lose some fitness, but stand to lose much more by running through an injury. There is always pool running and ellipticals for safer rehab with minimum impact.
I remember wearing a knee brace in the early years of my running, and an ankle brace as well - even through races (not recommended). I've worn tape and arch supports, too. These devices certainly will boost your confidence, but remember they are props that won't replace healing what's hurt. The hurt comes, unfortunately from overuse - what we call "too much, too soon." Your body hasn't yet adapted to the rigors of your training, and your patience needs to match that rate of adaptation.
Of knee braces, I have read they may help to stabilize a knee that is structurally loose, but the long-term effect of running with them can include problems associated with restricted circulation. While this can have a numbing effect, maximum circulation will do more for your injuries over time. If your knee is unstable, it is more helpful to strengthen the muscles that act on the knee, getting your support from inside the body rather than from without. I am a fan of compression shorts and tops for better cooling, aerodynamics, and less chafing. Running/competing with therapeutic compression gear, though a current fad, has short term gains at the risk of long-term losses. If you feel the need for this stuff, there are other strategies that wil benefit you more.
Again, circulation is key; it's what heals you. We often hear about icing and stretching, but both are halves of a better whole. Ice alone is for acute injuries, while alternating cold and heat does more to stimulate circulation in working muscles. Stretching can invigorate healthy muscle tissue, but a muscle that is tight or in spasm can be easily damaged further by stretching. Massage, including self-massage, followed by light stretching, is a more professional solution that delivers better (and safer) results.
Once you are on the mend and loosened up, it's time to strengthen your quads, calves, hips, and core muscles. Strong, healthy quads and calves absorb more shock and smooth your stride. The quads alone guide your kneecap and stabilize your knee so wear and tear within is less likely. Increase your mileage only when these are strong enough to protect your entire run. Running tired on wooden quads will lead to damaged knees. You can relax the quads by kneading them between thumbs, palms, and forefingers. Straighten the leg into a relaxed position first.
Likewise, tired calf muscles, some of which cross the back of the knee from lower to upper leg, can produce pain within the knee. Ditto when they are overworked and too tight. Always target your therapy in both directions - to strengthen and relax. One without the other is asking for trouble.You can gradually relax many of your calf muscles by sliding them down the opposite knee when seated, even at work. Let people stare.. you're an athlete!
The hips and core muscles are what provide the stability to your stride, and reduce lateral and twisting stress on your knees. Once again, you can't overdo it. Too much stiffness in your core (back, abdominals) and hips will result in back pain and muscular compensation below. Tight back muscles, and upper glute muscles around the hip, are easily loosened by laying them on a tennis ball before bed. Abdominals are best approached by hand.
Some knee pains result from the area known as the Ilio-Tibial Band (ITB) on the lateral quad. While some pain can be traced to the Band, the quad is highly vulnerable to running. Many athletes have learned to do regular maintenance on this area with a foam roller to insure that knots of tight tissue to not develop in these structures. If that's what you have time for, it's better than nothing, but I've found ways of using my hands and available soft furniture to accomplish the same circulatory benefits, almost anywhere, any time.
All of this strength and speed sits on the all-important platform of your feet. While shoes are for most, an important part of the picture, the type of foot you have must be matched not only by the shoe you wear, but for many, by modifications to your shoes to account for extreme variations in foot structure that are not addressed by the shoe manufacturers. Many orthotics have you running on your arches - not the best thing for an athlete. A solid knee requires a smooth, efficient, and natural footstrike. This is a complicated issue that warrants further discussion if you need it.
I trained for my first Half mostly on concrete, and I recall how painful it was. As I got faster and more vigilant, I found ways to mix my surfaces with better results. In my opinion, the best places to train for racing are parks that are closed to thru-traffic. This most closely approximates the average racing environment of full road use, flatter surfaces, and less concrete.
However, not so fast - try some of the suggestions above to take care of the tension on your knee, and when it feels better, you can work on a moderate course of strengthening exercises. Then (within a few weeks), back-track your training somewhat until you are strong enough to up your mileage. Meanwhile you have productive ways to spend your down time. Be patient with your body, or you might spend six months down like I did!
This certainly won't be as comprehensive, but I want to second the recommendations regarding stretching. I never do well with stretching BEFORE a run though. I usually walk quite a bit before any run (even a long race) and then concentrate a lot of time on stretching AFTER the run. It's so tempting to cut the stretching short. I bnring food to the gym if I am training on a treadmill that day or to the park or just go back to my house and eat/drink and STRETCH for at least 30 minutes.
The tightness you describe is exactly what I got at mile 23 of my first marathon. After a week or two of trying really short runs with continued pain (more pain on days when I did not run) -- I took three weeks off but when I resumed running the nagging ache/tightness continued until someone recommended some specific stretches for ITB -- or is it IBT -- it's the tendon that essentially runs from your hip, crosses the knee and to the shin. The foam roller is the most marvelous invention EVER. My stretching certainly helped and I used heat at night if I felt any pain at all (rice bags heated in the microwave- these mould to the body quite nicely and the heat lasts and lasts) -- but once I started working with the foam roller, I could actually feel where the knots were in my legs.
Best of everything as you work through this issue!!

The Czech Republic have taken what could be a decisive 2-1 lead in the Davis Cup Final against defending champions Spain by winning the crucial Saturday Doubles encounter in 4 sets.
Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek unsurprisingly stepped into the Czech side for this match, replacing the previously listed duo of Ivo Minar and Lukas Rosol who in all fairness aren't really in the same league as their more illustrious compatriots.
Spain were represented by the ATP World Tour Final Champions, Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez, and were the massive favourites coming into this huge game. It was the Champions who won the opening set 6-3, and at that stage it appeared it was going to be business as usual for the Spaniards.
However, the Czechs produced some incredible tennis to rattle off three straight sets to register a strong come-from-behind 3-6, 7-5, 7-5, 6-3 win.
It will be interesting to see though how much fuel is left in the tank of the star Czech duo with Tomas Berdych having played over 7 hours of tennis already this weekend, and will be in action in the first of the reverse singles against a very competent David Ferrer on Sunday.
Should a decisive fifth rubber be required, Spain would no doubt continue to be the favourites with world no.11 Nicolas Almagro expected to get the better of Czech veteran Radek Stepanek

Yeah, come visit me. It's not working from here. Maybe if you're here to work some magic, it will. (I don't twitter much or do delicious, btw.)
Thanks for posting it here then, as I missed the other two channels.
It's beautiful all around, but I'm amazed at how fast some of the 2d-transitions zip by yet manage to remain clear and intelligible. Faster than the shaky-cam fight scenes that have ruined action movies for me, but I felt like I could track every little square and triangle.

re: lesson plan. If there's one that makes good use of the instructional time / learning ratio, sure. Actually doing a 64K demo requires a lot of math prowess, but that's the sort of thing that would take an entire semester to teach just that one thing.

I watched it when you tweeted it. I thought "eh". I just watched it again. I must be missing something…
@Andrew, the creator quoted the project as "thousands of keyframes," which I find sort of incomprehensible. It's 100 seconds long. That's at least ten keyframes per second. At least ten times a second the geometry of the entire piece changes.
Like you said, that could get disorienting fast, but such as the skill of the artist that it all feels of a piece.
(For personal comparison, I'm in the middle of an AfterEffects project I'll post in this space shortly. It's one of the hardest I've ever undertaken and at most I'm doing one keyframe every three seconds.)

Allergan: Waiting for Direction
Published on Tuesday, 13 November 2012 04:33 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, November 13th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of Allergan Inc. ( NYSE:AGN) closed the trading day higher by $0.12 or 0.13% from its previous close. Allergan's price action formed what is considered to be a doji close, where the open and close prices are very close to each other, mainly signaling an indecision between buyers and sellers.
Allergan, Inc. ( NYSE:AGN) is a multi-specialty health care company that develops and commercializes pharmaceuticals, biologics and medical devices. The company develops products for the ophthalmic, neurological, medical aesthetics, breast aesthetics, obesity intervention, urological and other specialty markets in countries around the world.
Allergan's trading range is defined by a trough, which marked calculated support at $86.51 and by a peak that set the resistance point at $92.50. These levels are closely watched by traders managing their positions.
Traders wanting to establish a position in Allergan or traders that are already holding the stock can use the doji close to their advantage, since the pattern present a short-term pause in the stock's price action. This pause results in an entry point for traders depending of which way the stock resolves this short-term indecision.
The Doji is an important candlestick pattern that provides information on their own and as components in a number of important patterns. Doji form when a security's open and close are virtually equal. The length of the upper and lower shadows can vary and the resulting candlestick looks like a cross, inverted cross or plus sign. Alone, doji are neutral patterns.
Any bullish or bearish bias is based on preceding price action and future confirmation. In the case of Allergan, given that the stock finished the session higher, bulls should monitor their positions for confirmation that the stock will continue higher by taking its intraday high.

Seattle plans higher parking rates for busiest times By KPLU News Staff • Dec 30, 2010 Brian Teutsch / Flickr Seattle drivers who've been accustomed to paying the same curbside parking rates at all times of day could soon be faced with variable parking prices based on market factors, with rates higher at busier times. The Seattle Times reports city officials hope variable fees will mean quicker turnover of scarce parking spaces and reduce congestion caused by people who circle blocks looking for an opening. Market-based parking rates are already in place in several U. S. cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington, D. C. "It helps reduce the traffic congestion, of people finding a spot", said Mary Catherine Snyder, a parking strategist for the Seattle Department of Transportation. The Seattle Department of Transportation will publish data from its study on parking trends in mid-January, then take several weeks to to reprogram meters to reflect new neighborhood-level rates. Parking meter rates in Seattle will increase this spring to as high as $4. Included in the City Council's budget is a proposal to require paid parking to a later hour, from the current 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. By 2012, the city would be able to customize rates block by block and alter parking rates by time of day. Snowy Wednesday morning for some commuters By KPLU News Staff • Dec 29, 2010 WSDOT Snow greeted some Puget Sound communities this morning, making for a slippery commute.

Hi community,
We are running SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 on MS SQL Server 2005 Release 9.00.3042 DB.
From this morning without install/update/change nothing, we have got on systemlog and trace data, lot of entries with this detail:
Database error 7719 at EXE
ExecuteAndFlush return code: 0x80040e14 Stmt: [ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION [/BI0/F0SMD_PE2H_PFUN0]() SPLIT RANGE (0000001009) ]

On SE14 I found anything whit the name /BI0/F0SMD_PE2H table and function /BI0/F0SMD_PE2H_PFUN0. Check option was succesfully but indicates number of partitions =1000.
After look for any similar situation, I didn't found nothing except this SDN Thread: BI : msg " Database error 7719 at EXE " during loading Here the solution applied is not valid to our system because the OSS Note 1494789 - Enabling 1000+ partitions support on SQL Server is by SQL Server 2008 SP2 (not our version).
On OSS Note 1010854 - Table with too many partitions on SQL Server 2005/2008 I am not really sure about if the solution(symptom2) fits to our problem.
And on OSS Note Note 869407 - Partitioning on Microsoft SQL Server i didn't correct with tool RSDD_MSSQL_CUBEANALYZE because we don't have enabled the (vardecimal) compression.
Do you know how can I achive this error???
Thanks in advance!
By OSS Note 991014 (Vardecimal) Compression for SQL Server 2005 SP2 I have undertood I should use "BW compression" to reduce the number of partitions of the Infocube identified before.
Vardecimal compression is not enabled on our DB.
Wiht execution of RSDD_MSSQL_CUBEANALYZE report I can not repear this.....
How can I do this with MSSQL 2005 SP2 ???
Thanks again mates
Solved by collapse infocube with more than 1000 partitions
I wondered if you would be able to elaborate a little on how exactly you resolved this? I have the EXACT same error occurring repeatedly in my Solution Manager system and this forum is the only detailed discussion of a fix.
I don't fully understand your last responce with regards to how you fixed the issue so any time you can spare to elaborate would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Dave Hayward
Hi Scott,
I'm getting similar issue in my Solman system similar issue. Pleas e can you provide me the solution how you have sloved this issue.
Thanks and Regards
Pavan Morishetty
Hi Scott,
Which note have you used to solve this problem?
1010854, 1494789 ??
Thanks in advance
Hi Roger,
We recently released SAP Note 1637822 which discusses the 7719 error message specifically when it occurs in SAP Solution Manager systems (see Issue and Solution 2 in the Note). SAP Solution Manager uses the SAP NetWeaver BW functionality in a different way than a pure BW system so there are some administrative tasks you absolutely must perform on an SAP Solution Manager system. This is true whether you have the 1000 partition limit or the 15000 partition limit.
The SAP Note will be updated whenever something specific for SAP Solution Manager on MS SQL Server arises.
Also, just as an FYI to everyone...we release SQL Server specific Solution Manager and CCMS (RZ20) Notes in the queue BC-DB-MSS-CCM. Be sure that you search for Notes with the component filter BC-DB-MSS* if you have an issue in one of those areas. If you specify only BC-DB-MSS then you will not get Notes from the subqueue.
Best regards,

Hi Leslie,
I've gone through that note you have mentioned, but not able to solve the issue in our solman system.
Thanks and Regards
Hi all,
I didn't received any notification about your answers...hope it arrives on time...
When i said "Solved by collapse infocube with more than 1000 partitions", was doing this:
SOLMAN, TCODE RSA1, locate the infoprovider which is appearing on the system log, then select Manage and go Request tab and check the number of the problematic request and go to collapse tab and release the Request ID in a job_name "BI_COMP" + request ID...
That worked for me....
Hi Scot,
In my Solman system we are getting exaclty same error.
Could you please let me know how you figured out which Info provider we need to compress in RSA1.
How to find out the which info provider we need to compress not able to ge tthe details from SM21.
Also let us know by increasing the partions value from 1000 to 15000 will help in resolving this issue.
Appreciate your response on this.
Thanks & Regards
Message was edited by: Ravi Pandey
Dear Ravi,
Please check at sm21 tcode the error, look for the number of dialog process involved, and go to ST11 tcode to open the trace and here you get the detail.
About increase partitions.... it depends of the MS SQL server version you are running. Check it at oss notes restrictions on 2005 and lower versions....
Dear Scott,
Below is the detail from St11. I searched with "/BI0/F0SMD_PE2H_PFUN000" with these in RSA1 tcode but was not able to find the any info provider.
By looking at the below details would you be able to tell me which info provider i should be considering for compression let me know if more details is required in this regards.
Your Help is very much appreciated.

Dear Ravi,
Please check sap notes and documentation before you proceed.
In my situation, i solved doing this:
Go to RSA1 and select infoprovider node, then as you pasted here from ST11, go to node SAP solution Manager Infroprovider /tech name(0SM_SSM) and expand it, as you pasted, the infocube is F0SMD_PE2H.... so go to the specified node and expand it (In your case, Sap solution manager diagnostics and SMD performance data hour -PE2H- ), right click and select Manage, then go to "collapse" tab and check it and if is it the case, release a collapse job for it. Check the job execution.
Please, look for OSS notes or help docs or SDN forums before you execute any task to be safe with your DB & SAP version.

Definition of whimsy in English:
(also whimsey)
noun (plural whimsies or whimseys)
1Playfully quaint or fanciful behavior or humor: the film is an awkward blend of whimsy and moralizing
More example sentences
- Jarmusch directs with a deadpan tone throughout, always at a slow, sometimes funereal pace, his humour full of whimsy and subversion but prone to moments of idiosyncrasy that slip towards pretension.
- Come celebrate with the young artists in attendance as they inject fresh colour, life, scent, spirit, humour and unselfconscious whimsy into our art scene.
- In my opinion the eyes are almost the most important part of the toy, giving it so much personality - humour, whimsy, cuteness, scariness and so on.
1.1A whim.
Example sentences
- At the whimsy of the jail administration, months of hard work sealing the cracks with toothpaste were rendered redundant.
- I noticed that Paul Johnson has dropped the whimsy and got stuck in to some serious vitriol throwing.
- Nothing can be called a sport that depends on the whimsy of 'artistic impression' and the opinions of nine judges.
1.2A thing that is fanciful or odd: the stone carvings and whimsies
More example sentences
- A strange whimsy makes a grim memory of smoke and fog no less grim but perhaps more haunting.
- Place to buy meaningless whimsy if you have nothing else to do with your dough: Small Crafts Advisory, 9803 Third Ave., Stone Harbor.
Early 17th century (in the sense 'caprice'): probably based on whim-wham.
The first sense of this was 'a sudden fancy, a whim'. The word comes from whim-wham, first recorded in the 1520s and meaning 'a decorative object, a trinket', and 'an odd notion or fancy'. Whim, which first meant 'a pun or play on words', also came from whim-wham in the 17th century.

2014 Golf Team Outlook
This year the Skyhawks are starting fresh with a team full of incoming freshman. "We are full of great local talent this year and I
believe we should end up being a pretty solid team," stated Coach Jed Johnson who is also joining the Skyhawks for his first year as
the Head Coach. "Dave Williams really made this transition easy for me and set us up for immediate success while he prepared to
step down," Johnson added. Dave Williams, the long-time golf coach and instructor at Sauk, retired this year from the program and
has left the program in great shape for the upcoming year.
Ryan Dixon is a standout from Dixon, and will help lead the Skyhawks as one of our top players. Another Dixon graduate, Austin
Thomas, put up some solid performances for Dixon this past year and looks to continue to improve. Jarred Hippen, a standout athlete from Rock Falls who also pitched for the University of Iowa, has decided to pursue another of his passions and play golf this year. "It is a pretty special situation for Jarred having the chance to come back home and play college golf alongside his younger brother," Johnson stated. Jarred's younger brother, Trace Hippen, has played solid golf for Rock Falls High School and looks forward to playing with his older brother.
Sterling High School's Trevor Sisson and Austin Cook had solid seasons for Sterling and are looking to make an immediate impact
this fall for the Skyhawks. The final player for the Skyhawks is Graye Freeman. "Freeman has come a long way already this fall, and
we look forward to seeing him continue to improve and compete for a spot in our top five," shared Johnson. With this young and
hungry group, we could see this team competing at a high level. Should be a fun group to get out and see!

Frankenstein Life, Consciousness, and Existence Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (chapter.paragraph)
Quote #1
One man's life or death were but a small price to pay for the acquirement of the knowledge which I sought, for the dominion I should acquire and transmit over the elemental foes of our race. (Letter 4.21)
Uh-oh. It's never a good sign when you start telling your sister that it's not a big deal if someone dies, as long as you fulfill your scientific goal. Walton is about two and a half steps away from full-on mad scientist, here.
Quote #2
The innocent and helpless creature bestowed on them by heaven, whom to bring up to good, and whose future lot it was in their hands to direct to happiness or misery, according as they fulfilled their duties towards me. (1.6)
When Victor talks about his childhood, he suggests that parents play a big role in how their kids turn out, either "to happiness or misery." Sure, blame it on your folks. Everyone else does.
Quote #3
The modern masters promise very little; they know that metals cannot be transmuted and that the elixir of life is a chimera but these philosophers, whose hands seem only made to dabble in dirt, and their eyes to pore over the microscope or crucible, have indeed performed miracles. They penetrate into the recesses of nature and show how she works in her hiding-places. They ascend into the heavens; they have discovered how the blood circulates, and the nature of the air we breathe. They have acquired new and almost unlimited powers; they can command the thunders of heaven, mimic the earthquake, and even mock the invisible world with its own shadows." (3.14)
M. Waldman claims that modern scientists have pretty tame goals compared to the ancient alchemists, but to Victor this is staggering stuff: they're unlocking the secrets of existence. (Can you imagine what he'd do with an iPad?)

In Dubash Battle
THE MAN who spreads like an extravagant tickmark
across this mattress does not do so because
he wishes to say something to you but
because he has no other choice. It is a shape
determined by the mess of books around him,
each the remnant of a good intention from a
night now unavailable to us, each a night that ended with
him nodding off while a steadfast finger marked the page
for a few minutes longer before letting go altogether, each
dropped volume augmenting a curve that thickens around
where his arm usually rests, before tapering off gently.
Morning burglarises his nondescript room after its many
other approaches are ignored and his response is to play
dead. He is important to us only in that his eyes are heavy
but not with tears.
When Kanal was little, his eyes tended to disappear
under the hat that flopped all over his brow. When people
asked him his name, he preferred to stick his jaw into his
chin, allowing his lips to defy gravity and his teeth to
emerge in a grimace that foolish adults assumed was an
overall shyness. This caused them to persist, and thus they
never saw how he found the whoosh of air needed to say
Kanal and the quick action of the diaphragm which was
crucial to the follow-up: his name in full, like a declaration
of war, like the roar of a multitude that has suddenly
found its voice, like the echoes that bounced off the buildings
in the vicinity of Gymkhana Grounds when Indira
Gandhi spoke there, the last one arriving as a thunderclap
about his waiting ears several seconds after she had finished.
Apart from the echoes, that evening gave him a way
of remembering his parents' marriage. His father filled
each of the not-so-faraway Prime Minister's fiery pauses
with heartfelt enunciations of the word 'bitch' while his
mother responded to this crime in half-rhyme, the utchutch-
utch favoured by lizards that were destined to shit
off-colour always because they only shat all over the pink
distemper of their front room.
His father roared his name out two or three times a
year, always a few minutes after arriving at the teapoy
to recover from another evening spent advancing the
cause of the soon-to-be-free Tamizh nation only to discover
in no time the big red card narrating his son's lack of
progress in all subjects except English and mother-tongue. In those moments, Kanal felt a tingle run from bladder to
anus while the yelled name Puratchikkanal! filled the
house and caused the gas cylinder to vibrate in sympathy,
but these were not things he could afford to stay and investigate.
The Ember of Revolution had learnt that it was
prudent, in post-yell situations, to precipitate himself into
the front room where an angry hand would express itself
unambiguously about his ears, his cheeks and his back,
culminating eventually in a kick — the precision of which
he would remember admiringly in later years but in the
present always meant an undignified progress halfway
across the room into the sofa from where he would receive
an uninterrupted transmission of his father's anger
despite a fog of tears and the static of swallowed sobs.
In those unenlightened times, fathers and whacked
sons would settle down an hour later to argue and hoot
with laughter while they exchanged metaphors for fartsthat-
took-you-by-surprise or counted each other out on
who was responsible for the sudden wrinkling of the nose
that had come upon them, their voices dissolving into
whoops of laughter as they approached pasu-kusu, the
moment of truth that would allow one the right to call the
other bomb-master till the next loud or little rip arrived.
On other days, they went left-right left-right all the way
up to Coles Park and arrived at the badam-milk stall shaking
with laughter and unable to state their pleasure because
three idiots had stared after them in much
perplexity while they had marched up St John's Church
Road in wordless, unsmiling coordination.
Anna Thambi Aadu Maadu Pasu Kusu
Translation: Elder Bro, younger bro, goat, cow,
again-cow, finally fart.
This is a blame-game. Even though vulgar things are
there, this poem is meaningful. After all we are nothing
but wind. Counting-out rhyme format is used, where in
one person tries to establish who has done the bad thing.
Nowadays people are not playing these games, but
everywhere we can see this type things. USA tells third
world rather you than me and third world is telling
rather methane you.
Years later, many things came back in a rush to the man
lost in a mattress; the square sit of the church compound;
its cream walls; the muddy handprints he left on those
walls not because he loved Indira but because it was easier
than drawing farmer-with-plough; the exasperation of
the sexton and his wife as they emptied buckets of water
across the walls because the Iyer had noticed and yelled
all day; the shoe-flowers that were in fashion among the
houses with gardens that year; the long yard where all the
games of his childhood were played; the ageing Tamizh
pulavar whose personality seemed so inclusive of the
metal gate he turned every day to walk to his bachelor
quarters at the end of the yard, the way his face seemed to
resolve itself into a skull every time he smiled, his thread-bare black coat, his white trousers, the noisy devotion that
somebody had managed to compress into his name — Feet
of Christ; the tilt of the asbestos sheet covering the sexton's
house; the names of that sexton's children, one
named after the First President, one named after Love,
one after Art, and the youngest who was named Beautiful
even though he was a boy; the rude song they sang and the
way they minced up and down the road every time they
spotted any of the several ladies of the Paes family in the
distance while he hid, shaking with laughter, because he
couldn't afford to let the landlady see him joining in the
ridiculing of her daughters; the path down which all of
them ran into the sudden darkness imposed on the faraway
quarter of Memorial Church by a spreading rain-tree
that never left his dreams and accommodated in its shade
the landscapes of many of the books he read, combining in
its acre all of Russia, the island that Tom, Huck and Joe
Harper ran away to, and the places where the Children of
the New Forest hid. What keeps him in today is the fact
that of the things he treasures from that time, he has no
idea how one began or how the others ended.
Missy missy Doll/Meen Kara Mol/ Arra rotti thenga/
Kas Kas Maanga
From first line we can able to see that addresser is
unknown but addressee is one Anglo-Indian lady. Anglo-
Indian ladies are called as Missy by Tamil speakers in
Bangalore. Meen Kara Mol is having ambiguity —
whether it is reference to humble origins such as fisherman's
daughter or whether the fish moly, a type of curry,
I don't know. Now I want to add only one or two points.
Eating habits are referred, but incongruity of items may
be noted. Half a roti, coconut, khas khas, and mango. It
may be satire on eating habits cum how Anglo Indians
will speak Tamil. Intention to make fun of minorities is
there. Also may be they are not adjusting. Because of
such attitude their problems are more.
He doesn't remember when the dog arrived, only the
surprise of all the boys in the church-compound when
they heard that the sexton was calling his kanthri-dog
Alice. Full ICSE dog only da they sniggered, not quite including
him in the joke because he was friends with the man's children while they were not. Since the name was a
mouthful, it was shortened to Allie. Allie went from being
a quiet pup to a rather taciturn bitch with a face and a
manner that came back to him in later years when he saw
a picture of Walter Matthau, when he watched an imported
TV-serial titled The Old Fox, when he met a film
critic famous for his silences on the telephone, and when
he spent hours in fascination over Jarry — the man who
sleeps among the apples till the wasps get at him — in
some obscure Czech film. In time, Allie achieved a pup.
While Allie herself had the imperturbable mien of a Jersey
cow, her whelp was a hysterical mess, a yowler in
sheer terror if so much as a leaf spun too quickly across
the street. And this pup was named Sanchopancho, a
choice which surprised nobody except our hero because
they had no idea where the name could have come from.
Our hero was in those faraway times given to the
excellent habit of sliding out of bed at dawn to scramble to
the loo and empty his bladder while singing loudly and
tunelessly the two lines he knew from many evergreen
numbers as Sunday Morning Walk in the Park and LA International
Airport I won't see him anymore. This may not
quite be the sequence of events that Subramania Bharathi
had in mind for the growing child, but what the hell, he
would then amble beyond the Paes residence to what was
called 'the garden', a huge square half-acre, and wander
from tree to tree waking up
at last when the sharpness
of rotting guava leaves filled
his nostrils. One day an impatient
bird knocked an
over-ripe papaya off the tree
and what fell about his ears
was a gooey mess that continued
to smell like shit
even after he had emptied
several mugs of water over
himself. After this he
stopped communing with nature, preferring instead to
rest his palms across the broken bottle-shards that
crowned the garden wall and to survey the street gravely.
It must have begun after this.
Did Allie and Sanchopancho begin barking at him
because they objected to the early-morning-surprise of his
face? Or did he chuck a stone one day at the beaming
Devaraj Urs on a poster and upset their loyalty to the state?
Or did they simply sense that he was not a son of the soil?
While the reasons were a mystery, it was definitely true
that they spent the better part of the year growling at each
other till neither party remembered which was dog and
which was not, Sanchopancho growing so irritated as to
serve up a 7 am symphony that woke the neighbourhood
up. On some days our hero would grow irritated and then
he would chuck clods of earth at them, relishing the way
they skittered in response to the explosions of dry mud. At
times, our admirable hero, our Arumainayagam, was consumed by terror at the rage he seemed to produce but that
didn't deter him from tiring of earth and turning to the
berries of the castor shrub that had arrived quite mysteriously
in the garden several years ago.
The berries were terrible projectiles to use; never quite
hurting the target, but somehow combining with the
stink of their arrival the contempt the thrower wished to
express. Allie and Sancho would arrive promptly at the
green gate to the church compound at seven every morning
to receive their daily dose of castor shots, an arrangement
that led to the proliferation of the shrub across the
four gardens within, filling those gardens up with their
capacity to shoot up with big leaves in no time, with their
smell of armpits, and their capacity to edge out other
plant life, thus causing the shoeflower fans many months
of impotent rage.
While he didn't know how any of this began, he would
never forget how it ended. The big house at the other end
of Casuarina Street released their Alsatians at seven in the
evening to demonstrate their ownership of the street and
their contempt for the socialists who ran the country and
provided the others in the street with employment. What
our hero heard while returning home one day was the
sound of three Alsatians making for him at top speed and
already celebrating the moment when they would tear
him from limb to limb with a bark that graduated now and
then into laughter. He half-turned, saw the latched gate to
the church-compound, and was over it in a trice, contriving
thus to land almost on top of Allie who was squeezing
through the gap below the gate in more or less the same
primordial terror. She wagged her tail furiously and
placed a restraining paw on his knee as he scrambled to
his feet. If at this moment his bladder released a little
spurt of terror, and a drop escaped his underpants and his
shorts to land on his big toe, if this caused him so much
consternation that he brought his hand up in half-salute
and said Good Morning Miss, do we have the right to
judge him harshly?
Tomorrow is a holiday/Go to Pappayi Kade/Eat Some
Idly Vade/Kaas Ketta Yetti Odhay.
Once again the lifestyle of humble people is stress in
this poem. This is poem recited by schoolboys in Bangalore
in circa 1970s after holiday announced. They are saying
because next day is a holiday they will to go eat good
food from Brahmin shop and last line is showing social
commentary. Kaas ketta yeti odhay. if he asks for money
means give him a well-aimed kick. Hostility towards
Brahmins is more. Also people are forgetting their culture
and tradition and mispronouncing the words. Paappar is
become Pappay, but nobody can go to papaya fruit shop
and eat idly. This statement is observed.
When the sexton's son Rajenthiraprasath asked our
hero the question boy, you know how to love or what?, it
gave his life an entirely new twist. The question must have
irritated our hero much less than it irritates me, your
humble interlocutor. A boy of six can only feel so much
irritation when somebody speaks to him in a voice that
combines curiosity, contempt and the lordly desire to
instruct. I, on the other hand, am wondering how the fuck
to translate Deyi, love-adikka theriyuma and, brother, the
iron has entered my soul. There is a certain sense of control,
of achievement that the word adikka (which normally
means to beat or to hit) contains, a task to which the googoo-
eyed English language is simply unequal. The closest
equivalent I know in any other language is the Hindi word
maarna and as I say this, it is 1965 all over again inside my
head. Excuse me while I self-immolate.
They had been lounging around after the light had
faded, and nobody had the energy to start Dabba Eyespice,
the hide-and-seek plus hard whacks game that normally
concluded the evening entertainments around Casuarina
Street. Rajenthiraprasath and Premi, his sister, began then to tell him about how a Fiat rolled into their street now and
then, and how when they had looked in once they saw a man
and a woman doing dirty things. The man takes his thing
and touches the woman's thing and they do that for a long
time. Do you want to see how it is done?
The next day, the three of them ran down to the church,
past the rain-tree and the row of gulmohurs all
in flame to settle down at the steps that led up to the
entrance, and then, dear reader, let us stop at saying that
they let their pants drop and they did the thing that they had
spoken of, first boy and girl, then boy and boy and then again
boy and girl but never brother and sister, in some weird display
of propriety. And thus they committed blasphemy
under the house of god, and blasphemed over the untold
memories of the plague victims after whom the church was
named, and with each playful thrust of the hips they each
made a memory that would stay with them for life.
For weeks after this moment, our hero was tormented
by dreams where every story he had ever heard turned
into something rather dirty; he was sometimes the little
boy up in the tree plucking fruit while Premi and Avvaiyar
merged into each other till he took her up the tree and fed
her strange fruit; on other days, he was David and Prasath
was Jonathan; one day he and Premi were Adam and Eve
and the serpent spoke to them out of the wrinkled little
thing that Prasath held up for them to see; and thus his
eyes grew heavy with longing and he never knew what to
say to Premi any more. And then one day, he was sitting
around in their house of exceptional darkness beneath the
asbestos when he chanced upon a notebook in which she
had written her name in a round hand and when he read it
out to himself he was fine, because her name was Pramila,
and somehow the spell was broken. He went back to being
an unbothered child again.
That didn't stop brother and sister from inviting him
along again. He went along with them many times, not
quite sure whether he liked it, but revelling in the right to
take off his clothes outside his house, in the jauntiness he
felt at such moments. On one such day he saw for the first
time that she was plump about the hip, and that she was
goosepimply from the cold and he felt a rush of affection
for her that first brought tears to his eyes, and then, for no
apparent reason, brought on a sneezing fit. He has no other memory of what happened between them or how it
came to an end.
Dum-arra-dum-arra-dum/ Veedu Pathikkichu/ Veetlakira
pomblaikku selai patthikichu/Rottula pora
amblaikku meesai pathikichu
Absolutely no social relevance is there in such poems.
These Cantorment fellows are Irresponsible porkies isay.
Sexual innondu is much, especially in the 4th line, where
they are telling nonsense things; house on fire, lady her
saree getting burnt, road one man his moustache also
burning. What is this bastard culture?
He met Kanal at a wedding his father had dragged him
to. He had sat in some nameless choultry drenched in
boredom all through the nadaswaram-playing, and the
Tirukkural-inflected five-minute homilies that his father
and three others gave to make this one a Tamizh thirumanam, and cheered up only when it was time to throw
rice at the newly wedded couple. He grabbed a whole
handful, hoisted himself onto a chair and let fly with all
his might, missing his target but successfully catching several
uncles and aunts of the couple in the eye as they stood
around trying to collect a tear or two for public display. A
second scatter of rice landed a moment after his and he
looked up to catch the eye of a boy just like himself, all
combed and scrubbed and coconut-oiled. Later, as he
made his way to the serving area with his father, they ran
into the other boy again, accompanied by somebody who looked like he had spent a lot of time twisting his handlebar
moustache into shape. The men embraced
and little boys were then paraded for quick examination
in Tamizh-speaking ability and how many kurals they
could quote from memory. While the men made jokes and
simultaneously amputated unpeeled bananas, our hero
and Kanal examined each other surreptitiously and
exchanged information about which standard, and which
miss they liked in their respective schools. When it was
time to go, his father asked Kanal if he wanted to come home with them and Kanal said yes.
For the remaining three weeks of the summer holidays,
Kanal and he met every afternoon to decapitate the weeds
that had overgrown the garden, to stage elaborate swordfight
scenes, and to drop into bottles of water the tails
they had confiscated from departing lizards. When the
wooden gate creaked to announce Kanal's arrival, he felt
his insides melt with happiness.
The visits ceased when the vacation came to a close
and he was so full of his new school that it never occurred
to him to ask why. When he began wondering about it
years later, this question brought with it many other questions
and thus was born a tale. He decided that the fathers
must have wanted their sons to have a Tanitamizh friendship,
a friendship that would be untouched by caste or
religion or by the defilement of any other language. This
pure desire could have foundered on a choice of rocks —
the different language his mother spoke, his mother's discovery
that Kanal's father was a Tamizh-speaking Muslim,
his mother's discovery that the celebrated poet of the
grand pseudonym who was Kanal's father was also a lowly
factory watchman by employment, or perhaps his father's
discovery that the same celebrated poet didn't mind a tipple
now and then.
Many years later, far away from that street full of trees
where he and Kanal had massacred an afternoon, he saw a
man taking the air under a signboard which read PK
Mohidden Enterprises. After three minutes of inward
debate, he gave up his seat, fought his way through to the
door among many muttered apologies, endured various
imprecations about people who couldn't make up their
mind about where they wanted to go and got his feet on
the pavement a second before the bus began to move. He asked the man under the signboard if his name was
Puratchikkanal and then wandered disconsolately away to
wait for the next bus, and when he did wonder about the
look that had crossed the man's face before he said no, it
was far too late, even though this time he remembered
that it was the same avid mouse face he had seen on
Kanal's face after the rice-throwing.
The story could have begun here, but his victories over
time have never owed very much to premeditation.
Dum-arra-dum-arra-dum/Tigerman has come/Take
some gum/ Stick it in your bum.
The sexton moved soon after, taking Rajenthirapprasath
and Premi with him. He would later recognise
that this was the first of the periodic ejections by which
the city's immune system upgraded itself from one dot oh
to two dot oh. It was only after one fortnight of rage over a
river that he began to tumble to the ways in which those
who spoke his language had begun to disappear. Some
simply left and turned up years later in faraway countries,
now quite adept at keeping their heads down. Some disappeared
into the neutrality of names that could be from
anywhere, some into the
safety of older ghettoes,
some into a saffron madness
that rendered them invisible
and some by escaping
into another language altogether
and learning to take
tea. The new purities
seemed to demand such
drastic revisions.
He is still frozen into a
tick-mark, and it still means
nothing, because it is in internal difference that all his
meanings are. He'll have to shut his eyes a little tighter if
he wants to save from the assaults of time a Sunday in
September 1983 when five thousand marched through the
streets, undeterred by rain, to protest the Colombo massacres.
He will remember marching with his father's
friends, and the embarrassment those staid men suffered
as they raised their voices to shout slogans staider than
themselves. He will remember falling back, and finding
with fear that he was now among drunk men who were
dancing as if they were at a funeral. He will remember the
man who screamed the words Lal Meetha every afternoon
outside his school over a cart gleaming with sliced watermelon
now prancing up and down, his smallpox-scarred
face contorted with rage as he yelled the words Thevdiya
Pulla Jayawardena, and the drunkards surrounding him
found mirth and meaning in such questioning of some
stranger's parentage. They down-down the Sri Lankan
president with the time-tested response Ozhika, and he
will know perhaps that his mode of being is mitosis, that
he is forever doomed to subdivide and be separate.

High contrast subjects have always posed an interesting challenge for photographers. Bright skies combined with dark shadows can complicate the exposure process. With digital imaging, new software and techniques can help photographers tame these difficult situations and create striking images, enter High Dynamic Range (HDR) Photography. In the last few years, HDR photography has increased significantly in popularity. Software like HDRSoft's Photomatix simplifies the process and increases control for photographers.
As part of the HDR process, color plays an integral role. With the exaggerated effects that you can create, seeing the true color in the file is even more critical. Color calibration solutions, like X-Rite ColorMunki Photo, will help you get the best color match for your images.
In this video, Rick Sammon will walk you through the process of setting up an HDR shot and how to follow his exposure and composition guidelines to ensure the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Rick will also use the X-Rite ColorMunki Photo to demonstrate the importance of ensuring that you always see the correct color on your display and how to print perfect color every time.

How do you see this ? Does it take 35 seconds to perform the write, or
does it take 35 seconds to see the data arrive on the server ? Are you
verifying the new data on the NFS server or are you observing through
another mounted NFS client on the same export ?

Could it be that your NFS server is exporting in async mode ?
