Memory prices drop again analyst expect good eals through June.
Users looking to add more dynamic RAM to their PCs are likely to see bargains throughout May and June as prices of memory chips continue to crash.
The contract price of the most widely used DRAM -- 512Mbit, 667-MHz double data rate, second generation (DDR2) chips -- slid below $2 for the first time in the first half of May. The chips dropped 8.8% from mid-April to $1.94 per chip, according to DRAMeXchange Technology Inc., a Taiwan-based company that runs an online DRAM market.
That's great news for users. Falling DRAM rates can help offset recent increases in prices for LCD panels and keep PC prices in check. Users wanting to boost their systems' speed can also add more DRAM at a low cost. These prices aren't likely to last longer than the next few months. At $1.94 each, the chips are well below the $2.50 to $3 cost of production for chip makers, which will likely shift their production strategies in order to reverse the decline.
The second half of the year is also the strongest for PC sales, another factor that could stop the current downward trend.
DRAMeXchange said the DRAM market appears to be weaker than expected in May and June, and many companies in the supply chain, including module makers and PC vendors, have already built up inventories. Prices won't rebound until these inventories are drawn down.
The fall below $2 was also significant because of its relative ease, noted Gartner Inc. There was less resistance at that psychologically important level than expected, the industry researcher said.
Even though chip makers are producing DRAM at a loss, prices may not rebound quickly. The companies have to continue selling the chips to bring in cash so they can pay for their expensive DRAM factories. They could try shifting some production to other products, such as NAND flash memory and image sensors, where prices are firmer, but it takes months to tweak production lines for such a change. BY making that kind of shift, they could miss an uptick in the DRAM market.
Around three-fourths of all DRAM chips are bought and sold through contracts between DRAM makers and major PC vendors such as Dell Inc. Prices are renegotiated twice per month. The remaining one-fourth is sold on open spot markets, like commodities such as oil and gold.
Contract prices of the chips have fallen 67% since the start of the year, when they were fetching $5.95 each. Although many analysts watch DRAM prices as an indication that PC shipments might be slowing down, that's not likely the case this time.
DRAMeXchange said the decline was caused by chip makers switching some production lines to DRAM from NAND flash memory, which had seen prices fall for nearly six months before recently stabilizing. The change has caused an oversupply in DRAM, while the glut in NAND flash memory has eased. There does not appear to be any problem with the PC market, analysts said.


Lebala Camp in Setswana means "open plains" which aptly describes the extensive grasslands and seasonal flood plains of the Linyanti marshes in Kwando Concession. The camp itself is comprised of eight custom designed tents, with unique mosquito net walls, allowing an unobstructed flow of cooling breezes and stunning views. Each spacious tent has its own viewing deck, bathroom and luxurious double outside showers. The main area has a lounge with a bar offering a vista of its marsh surrounded with elusive fauna that sometimes pass through it. There is a also separate dining area. Guests can also enjoy the pool to relax between game drives during siesta time and share safari stories or listen to the sounds of the night by the camp fire.
Lebala is situated in the south of the Kwando concession, adjacent to the head waters of the Linyanti marshes that form the boundary between Botswana and Namibia. The southerly flowing Kwando river disappears into the vast marshland before emerging as the Linyanti river. The triangle formed by this vast wetland is home to the Mamili National Park in Namibia. The Kwando River concession is 232000 ha (573000 acres) of unfenced wilderness area and features two camps on the Kwando River – Lagoon and Lebala. The concession has 80km (50 miles) of exclusive river frontage. Famous for huge herds of elephant and buffalo with our wild dog viewing considered the best in Africa. Predators include lion, leopard, hyena, cheetah and four species of smaller cats.
The daily safari routine at Lebala usually involves an early morning wake up call, and a gathering around the fireside for piping hot tea and coffee, a bowl of sumptuous porridge and freshly baked muffins. As well as the clean early morning air and dazzling sun rise, an early departure greatly increases the chances of unusual sightings, as the majority of mammals are active at the beginning and end of the day when temperatures are lower. The game viewing at Lebala is amongst the best in Africa due to the high concentration of game and the excellent visibility on the plains. Lebala focuses on game drives – both off road and at night. Bush walks are at the discretion of the guides due to the seasonal high concentration of elephants. Lebala, like Lagoon, has a reputation for predator action with lions known to hunt and kill mega fauna like buffalo and hippos. A serious safari goers paradise.
Lebala offers 2 activities one experience in its exclusive Kwando concession i.e. day / night game drives and nature walks.
Safaris game drives – Day & Night – Game drives at Lebala are undertaken in custom designed game viewing vehicles seating no more than six guests at a time in two rows of three. The use of only two rows ensures that guests are never so far from the front of the vehicle that they are unable to hear the guide or tracker's interpretation, even while driving. Guests are guided by a two person team of professional guide and tracker – a special feature of the Kwando Safaris wildlife experience. The two person team enables the guide to communicate points of interest and the complex interrelations that exist throughout the natural world, while the tracker ensures no sightings or tracks are missed. The evening/ night drives are a Kwando Safaris specialty. The drive starts in the late afternoon as the sun's rays are dipping to the west and the day's heat is declining. After a leisurely pause for the traditional sundowner, and as the African day is transformed into a soft colorful evening canvas, the night drive begins. The mystery unfolds as the creatures of the night, especially the predators, are revealed by spotlight, often unexpectedly.
Nature walks (seasonal) – Walking in Africa's wild areas is the only way to truly appreciate the natural environment. While game viewing from a vehicle allows one to see more animals as you traverse much greater distances and get much closer to animals safely, there is nothing as awe inspiring and humbling as observing wild animals on foot. Many smaller species of plants and insects, tracks and signs are all easily missed when in a vehicle. The slow pace of the walk and interpretative skills of your guide will open your eyes to a new and fascinating world. Game walks are not hikes; they are slow comfortable strolls meant to provide you with a chance to experience the wilderness at a natural pace. Any walk can be combined with a game drive or mokoro and the length of walk can be adjusted to suit your personal desires or level of fitness.

High and Dry Boats and Residents in Ponce Inlet: A Waterfront Property Owner Goes to Court to Enforce Florida's Growth Management Act and Invalidate a Municipal Referendum Prohibiting a Dry Stack
Ponce Inlet, Volusia County, Florida (northeast Florida)
As a "sport port," Ponce Inlet relies on recreational boating to support its Working Waterfront. In order to diversify his commercial enterprise and maintain the recreational boating industry, a private property owner sought to build a "dry stack" to accommodate additional boats on waterfront land in Ponce Inlet. Local residents vehemently opposed construction of the dry stack, culminating in a successful public referendum amending the town charter to prohibit dry stacks as a land use on the property. Subsequently, the property owner initiated litigation that raised the question of whether such a referendum is valid under Florida law when it applies to a single parcel of land. The litigation led the Seventh Judicial Circuit Court to rule that the referendum was not valid due to language in Florida's Growth Management Act that prohibited referenda on such issues when it applies to five or fewer parcels of land. Although the property owner has yet to build the dry stack, litigation in this instance successfully cleared the way for a land use that is beneficial to working waterfronts.
Transferability depends on the nature of growth management legislation in other states, but the dispute surrounding the dry stack illustrates a successful example of using litigation to encourage and/or protect land uses that are beneficial to the continued viability of working waterfronts.
Emphasize policies that encourage and facilitate marine-industrial-related development within recreational working waterfronts. Also, although potentially costly and time-consuming, the use of litigation can be an effective last resort.
Ponce Inlet, on Florida's East Coast near Daytona Beach, is an enclave of maritime commercial and industrial uses surrounded by a largely single family neighborhood. The immediate deepwater access Ponce Inlet provides to the Atlantic Ocean makes it an important component of industrial and commercial maritime geography in northeast Florida. As a "sport port," Ponce Inlet depends on the recreational vessels it services. In 2004, a working waterfront property owner began planning for a development that would include expanding vessel access to his services by building a dry stack storage facility for boats ("dry stack") on upland property within the maritime commercial zoning district. A dry stack can take many forms, but it is essentially a structure housing boat racks where boats can be stacked on top of one another for storage. Dry stacks can benefit both boat owners, by providing protection from the elements and increased security for boats, and waterfront property owners who build such structures on their property. The property owner in this case sought to build a dry stack to diversify his revenue stream in order to maintain his industrial maritime assets, and anticipated that the vessels housed in the dry stack would augment the industrial and commercial deepwater access facilities he provided (boatworks and a haulout).
Challenges/Issues
Before 2008, zoning for the property owner's land prohibited the planned dry stack. However, by engaging in the process required by Florida's Growth Management Act (and after years of working on plans in conjunction with the property owner), the Town began to take steps to pass an ordinance effectively discarding this prohibition. After progressing to the latter stages of the process, the proposed ordinance was submitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs and thereafter was ready for approval by the Town. The Town's residents, however, vocally opposed the dry stack, arguing that it was incompatible with the community character and would create traffic congestion in the surrounding single-family residential neighborhoods. This opposition culminated in the passage of a referendum to amend the town charter and prohibit dry stacks on the owner's property. The referendum elevated the dry stack restriction to the status of immutable charter provision.
Actions, Approaches, and Policy Framework/Impacts
In response to the referendum and the Town's actions, the owner of the working waterfront property brought suit and, in 2010, the Seventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida overturned the charter amendment. The Seventh Circuit Court found that the charter amendment violated Florida's Growth Management Act. Specifically, the Court found that initiating land use legislation and comprehensive planning by a referendum like the one passed in Ponce Inlet violated the Act because the referendum affected fewer than five parcels of land and the Act (particularly section 163.3167(12)) prohibited local initiatives or referenda in regard to development orders affecting five or fewer parcels of land. This 2010 court ruling was affirmed on appeal in early 2011, and in 2012 the Florida Supreme Court denied a request to hear the case.
Although related litigation continues and the property owner has yet to build a dry stack on the property, the Court's enforcement of the Growth Management Act paved the way for such a structure. Ongoing litigation consists of the Town's appeal of a more recent ruling by the same Seventh Circuit Court. This ruling found that the Town's actions amounted to both an unconstitutional taking of the property and a violation of the Bert J. Harris Act, which allows for compensation to owners of property "inordinately burdened" by governmental action. Due to the Town's appeal of the case, the Town Council significantly raised property taxes in Ponce Inlet for the 2012-2013 fiscal year in order to pay for attorney's fees anticipated to stem from the dispute. Moreover, indications show that the property owner will seek, and could secure, up to $55 million in damages from the Town.

Q: Real-Complex type conversion within Exp / Acc I need to convert a real numerical value within the Exp or Acc type of the  Accelerate library to its corresponding Complex value, e.g.:
toComplex :: Exp Double -> Exp (Complex Double)
toComplex' :: Acc (Vector Double) -> Acc (Vector (Complex Double))

I tried to pattern match like
toComplex :: Exp Double -> Exp (Complex Double)
toComplex a = (\(r, i) -> constant $ r :+ i) $ (a, constant 0)

and suspect that lift or unlift as in https://www.acceleratehs.org/examples/mandelbrot.html might somehow solve this problem but can't figure out correct application of those.
For my attempt ghc complains that
• Couldn't match type 'Exp Double' with 'Double'
      Expected type: Exp (Complex Double)
        Actual type: Exp (Complex (Exp Double))

A letter from my grandmother Margaret Irene McDunn Tillotson reveals some details about the early nomadic life of my grandfather Reginald Oscar Tillotson. As we have documented in this blog, Charles H. Tillotson (seen in the photo above), who was Reginald's father, built wooden elevators.
When Charles H. died in 1938, Reginald and his brother Joe took the helm of the family's construction company and learned how to build elevators by slip-forming concrete. That positioned Tillotson Construction Company to advance as the new method served to meet demand for greater storage capacity at rural cooperatives.
My grandmother's missive of Oct. 6, 1978 gives a few details of those early days.
"When they moved from place to place with the construction company they had many funny places for a home. Your grandfather moved ten times one school term. They built cribbed elevators during those days. This was made by placing a two by four on a two by four to build the walls for the outside and to make the bins. The fields of corn and grain were used by the farmers so they had no great need for storage or grain elevators. So many jobs were to add on to bins or repair them. This made small jobs and many changes in places to live.
"One time they lived in a school house. Many times when it was a small job they lived in the elevator office. During the cold weather they got to live in parts of others' homes and tried not to have to move. Construction those days was almost nil during the cold weather. They wished many times they were farmers when they had big snow storms.
"After his grade school days they settled in Omaha. Reginald worked in stores. His recreation was sports which I mention (tennis, baseball, football)."

Charles H. Tillotson straddled the divide between wood and concrete
Apr10 by baggyparagraphs
My Great-grandfather Charles H. Tillotson may have been following his trade by instinct, but he opened the way for descendants to distinguish themselves in the business of elevator construction.
I know the Tillotsons saw themselves primarily as carpenters. My Uncle Charles J. Tillotson went to work as an apprentice carpenter for Tillotson Construction, which was founded after the death of his grandfather Charles. My Uncle Michael Tillotson learned carpentry on through the family business and worked as a carpenter throughout his career. When I helped him finish concrete sidewalks on a couple of side jobs in the 1970s, he preached a gospel that carpenters could do it all, whether it be concrete or painting. And in elevator construction, it was true.
Charles H. Tillotson was born in Brunswick, Mo., in 1880. He married Rose Brennan in Riverside, Iowa.
He and my Great-grandmother Rose had an apparently cozy life in Omaha with their three grown children, Joseph, Reginald, and Mary, all of whom became involved in elevator construction. Kristen Cart's research has found the Tillotsons listed in the 1930 census. They lived at 624 N. 41st.
A 1936 city directory listed Charles H. as president of Van Ness Construction, a company that built mills and elevators. Joseph served as secretary-treasurer and Reginald was a foreman. Mary worked as a clerk-typist at the Federal Land Bank.
By then, Reginald was married to my grandmother, Margaret Irene McDunn Tillotson. Their firstborn Charles J., had arrived in 1935, followed the next year by my mother, Mary Catherine.
Uncle Tim Tillotson, the middle of their three sons between Charles J. and Michael (who was born in a home-built house trailer at a Smith Center, Kan., job site), says a story exchanged among the uncles was that Great-grandfather Charles H. would tell Reginald, "Put out that cigarette," when they were working on jobs. The danger of fire was constant. How ironic, then, that Charles H. held a cigarette for his portrait.
After the death of paterfamilias Charles H., the Tillotson Construction Company was formed by Reginald, Joseph, and Mary. We would love to learn more about how this proceeded.
Meanwhile, the transition to slip-formed concrete construction was under way, with the Tillotsons' carpentry skills being readily applied to the formwork.

A search for Van Ness elevator images yields surprising results
Mar6 by kocart
Story by Kristen Cart
When hunting for ancient elevators–and by ancient, I mean hundred-year-old, steel-sheathed, wooden construction–you run into a serious problem: most of them no longer exist.
A 1936 Omaha directory
The elevator you are looking for may have burned down years ago, followed by a replacement that also burned down. The things liked to catch fire, as a search of old newspapers will show.
Concrete construction was meant to reduce the problem, but the new elevators would burn in spectacular fashion when grain dust ignited, throwing debris and victims sky high.
The fertile ground for old elevator hunting remains the Internet, thanks to bloggers, satellite imagery, photographers, and the odd stuff that accumulates online.
Recently, we turned up some truly fascinating finds. We had discovered Charles H. Tillotson was president of Van Ness Construction Company, of Omaha, in the 1930s. He was the original founder of the construction business (and its progeny) that his children and their associates operated into the 1950s, as documented in this blog.
Now that we had a company name for his earlier efforts, the hunt for Van Ness elevators was on.
Rydal, Kan., was home to an early Van Ness elevator. The town was profiled in the blog Dead Towns of Kansas, a project by the Hutchinson, Kan., journalist Amy Bickel. On her page is a marvelous 1950s vintage aerial photograph of bridge construction showing two 1888- to 1907-vintage elevators, one of which was built by Van Ness. One of the two pictured elevators burned in 1952. We do not know if the fire consumed them both.
Luckily, a Van Ness mill and elevator in Grenola, Kan., was deemed historical, and the Kansas State Historical Society successfully nominated it for the National Register of Historic Places. Since grain was no longer stored there, the greatest threat to its survival was gone.
It is the only example we have found that still stands.
The architect of this elevator, designed and built in 1909, was P. H. Pelkey Company, with the construction completed by the R. M. Van Ness Construction, of Fairbury, Neb.
This company could have been the predecessor to the Van Ness Construction Company that Charles H. Tillotson led, and it may have been his earlier employer. A little more research could tease out the history of the Van Ness building enterprises in Nebraska.
But the elevator is representative of the typical construction of the time, when Charles would have been working in the business.
This old elevator is located in Grenola, Elk County, Kan., on a railroad siding which was formerly on a mainline of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad, Southern Kansas Division.

A mystery is solved with the discovery of elevator builder Van Ness Construction
Jan24 by kocart
The wooden elevator at Wymore, Neb., is representative of the style of Van Ness Construction.
Story and photo by Kristen Cart
When we began investigating the elevators our grandfathers built, we had no idea how far the project would take us or what surprises would unfold. With the discovery of Van Ness Construction Company of Omaha, we have learned about the beginnings of the Tillotson family enterprise, and have entered a new phase of our search.
The Nebraska State Journal, June 19, 1938
We knew that Charles H. Tillotson, patriarch of the family and great-grandfather of Ronald Ahrens, built elevators before the days of slip-formed concrete. We found only one Tillotson elevator, made of wood, that predated the elegant concrete structures that sprang up all over the Midwest in the '40s and '50s–at least we found its obituary in a news video of its fiery demise. That 1940 vintage elevator, in Hawarden, Iowa, was built two years after Charles died. It burned down in 2006. We didn't find, at the time, a project that we could attribute to Charles.
Then we had a breakthrough, thanks to Ancestry.com.
Ancestry has a wonderful collection of city directories. I had seen listings for the Tillotson family in Omaha before, but I missed a significant data point. While searching for Sylvia (Mayer) Tillotson, the wife of Joe and sister of Eugene Mayer, I discovered an Omaha directory for 1936 in which Charles H. Tillotson was listed as president of Van Ness Construction Company. Further Internet searches revealed some of the sites where Van Ness built its small steel-cased wooden elevators, but as yet we have found none that have survived.
Now we hope to find an existing elevator from the days before Joe and Reginald Tillotson dreamed up their slip-formed concrete designs. So far the closest we have come is an elevator that perished in a fire in Scribner, Neb., in 1971 , a nightmare that repeated itself in June, 2013.
Also, in a Google satellite image of the town of Diller, Neb., another identified site, a square concrete pad with a grain spout lying alongside it is located near new steel bins, right where an old elevator should have been. In Rydal, Kan., you can see a concrete pad with concrete pits near a horizontal storage building, with the remains of a rail siding alongside. I was a little surprised to find evidence of earlier elevators at these sites, but of course digging up tons of concrete for no special reason would be unnecessarily expensive, so there are remains.
Everywhere we looked for these ancient elevators, we found evidence of obsolescence and ultimate destruction, with little left to identify the sites. Newspapers were the only way to find the locations. Fire certainly destroyed some of them. For those that remained, the adoption of concrete and much larger storage facilities turned these old Van Ness elevators into relics and ultimately spelled their doom.

Everyone has been in a situation that has escalated out of control. From crazy parties to an escalated argument, sometimes things happen and things spiral into a call to the police or a false accusation. Things like this could potentially cause you to go to jail for years or have to pay an exuberant fine for something you may not have even done.
In those situations, you may feel like there is nobody on your side, and the entire world wants to see you found guilty. That is where I come in, a dedicated lawyer set on being on your side and helping you get acquitted or at least see reduced sentences.
Out of all of the types of crimes out there, the most severely punished are violent crimes. If you are facing accusations of a violent crime, you could be facing either a long jail sentence or a lofty fine. With situations that may arise, time is of the essence for finding a good lawyer to help you through the complicated process.
Things can easily become out of control during the time between the event that took place and the hearing, and you need someone on your side that is used to these events to help you navigate the craziness and keep you and your rights protected and help streamline the process to getting you acquitted.
If you're in a situation where you've been accused of a violent crime and you don't know what to do, make sure to remember your rights. You always have a right to a lawyer.
A good police officer will remind you that anything you say willingly can be used against you in a court of law, so the best option when you are facing a criminal charge of a violent crime is to stay silent until you can speak with a lawyer.
You also have the right to a lawyer through this entire process, and if you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you. However, it is of your best interest to hire only the best criminal lawyer in Winnipeg, to ensure that the trial plays out in your favor.
So be sure to contact me, Matthew Gould, if you have been accused of a violent crime. You cannot be found guilty unless a Crown prosecutor can prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. I am a trained lawyer who can help shake up their case, and provide counterarguments and evidence to get you the best results you need.
Having me on your side can help turn the case around and prove to the Crown that their evidence is weak and that their witnesses will not stand up well to cross-examination.

Denny and Penny, you are known for your fundraising efforts and reliable participation. Thank you! Please share a little about yourselves.
We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in June. Denny grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Penny in Madison, New Jersey. We now reside in West Trenton New Jersey.
We have 2 daughters, a son in law, granddaughter 20 and grandson 14. We are blessed in that they all live within 10 miles of us.
The first year of the ride we drove to Gettysburg to congratulate the riders as they biked into the town square. Founder Chuck Inman was a member of our church and convinced us to get involved to support TASK and the Rescue Mission of Trenton. Bob Kales rode at age 60 or so and he inspired me (Denny) to try it year two. I took it on mostly as a one-time personal challenge.
As I got to know the people we were supporting, I knew I would have to continue. I rode the 200 miles eight or nine times and then gradually cut back to 100, then 65, and now 30 miles.
Riding and Support and Gear (SAG) to raise over $70,000.
What do you enjoy the most about Battle Against Hunger?
The camaraderie of the team and seeing the tremendous good that these two organizations do. Getting to become friends with the patrons and staff of TASK and the Rescue Mission of Trenton.
Riding the entire 200 miles one year with a Rescue Mission of Trenton resident who went on to live independently.
WARNING - once you are involved it will be in your blood. It's not about how many miles but about the smiles you will bring to peoples faces.

Q: can i move a gameObject based on just its name? Im using a raycast, putting its RaycastHit into a variable called raycastHit, using that to get the raycastHit.transform.name, could i then use the information from the name of the gameObject to move its position? Or if not, could i get the information from the raycastHit to instead move it straight away? (outside of the function of the raycast) I already looked for an answer, but ive been only finding results on how to move any gameObject.
EDIT1:
my current version of the void:
public RaycastHit raycastHit;
    private void HandleHookShotStart()
    {

        if (TestInputDownHookShot())
        {
            int gm = LayerMask.NameToLayer("Ground");
            int lwm = LayerMask.NameToLayer("LightWeight");
            int layers = 1 << gm | 1 << lwm;
            if (Physics.Raycast(Shoulder.transform.position, cam.transform.forward, out raycastHit, float.PositiveInfinity, layers))
            {
                //Hit Something
                debugHitpointTransform.position = raycastHit.point;
                hookshotPosition = raycastHit.point;
                hookShotSize = 0f;
                HookShotTransform.gameObject.SetActive(true);
                HookShotTransform.localScale = Vector3.zero;

                if (raycastHit.collider.gameObject.layer == gm)
                {
                    Debug.Log("ground");
                    hitType = HitType.Ground;
                }
                else if (raycastHit.collider.gameObject.layer == lwm)
                {
                    //Debug.Log("lightweight");
                    hitType = HitType.Lightweight;
                    goToMove = raycastHit.collider.gameObject;
                    string raycastHitObjectname = goToMove.name;
                }

                state = State.HookShotThrown;
            }
        }

    }

EDIT2:
private void HandleHookShotGrab()
    {
        GameObject raycastHitObject = GameObject.Find(raycastHitObjectName);
    }

error is on raycastHitObjectName
error:
CS0103 the name 'raycastHitObjectName' does not exist in the current context

A: You dont need to find your gameobject by name, you can add a ref to the gameobject in the script from which you would be moving the gameobject from.
public RaycastHit raycastHit;
public GameObject goToMove;//drag in to your gameObject component in unity editor

private void HandleRayCast()
{
    if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, cam.transform.forward, out raycastHit))
    {
        //Hit Something
        goToMove.transform.position = raycastHit.point;
    }
}

If you still need to find the gameObject by name, you can still get in the Start phase.
void Start() {
    goToMove = GameObject.Find("yourGameObjectName");
}

Don use GameObject.Find in Updates. Use it to keep a reference to your gameObjects at the initialization phase of your Monobehaviours. In small games or playaround projects its not a big deal, but it is an "expensive" command, so needs to be used with care.

Third-period letdowns at home leave Northstars winless through first five games of the season
The Norman Northstars' Cheechoo Lathlin gets dumped by Nathan Daignault of the Central Plains Capitals during the third period of a 6-1 loss at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena Oct. 6.
The under-18 AAA Norman Northstars dropped their first two home games of the year to the Central Plain Capitals Oct. 5-6, falling 7-2 Saturday evening and 6-1 the following afternoon.
The Northstars opened the scoring seven minutes into the second game, after Central Plains goalie Rhett Boschman missed a shoot-in and Derek Koivisto picked up the rebound off the back boards and passed the puck across the slot to Ian Snooks. The lead stood up for less than four minutes before Ryan Botterill tied the game 1-1. Brennan Cook scored 11 seconds later to give the Capitals a one-goal lead.
The Northstars flirted with danger by taking multiple penalties through the second period, including a six-minute man disadvantage following a melee in the Central Plains zone and finally got stung with 3:31 left in the period and 21 seconds left in a penalty when Botterill scored his second of the game to give the Capitals a two-goal lead.
Much like the previous night, the Northstars ran out of gas in the third, giving up goals to Sean Neufeld, Cameron Trimble and Jackson Wilson for their second five-goal loss in as many days. Linden Gamblin made 18 saves in the final 40 minutes after taking over for Odin Church, who stopped two of 10 shots in the opening 20 minutes.
The Northstars kept pace with the Capitals through the first two periods of the Oct. 5 matchup, with Trimble getting the game's first goal 12:32 into the contest before Northstars captain Jordan Pfoh tied it up less than 90 second later on a power play. Botterill scored with the man advantage early in the second to restore Central Plains' lead but Ryan Monias tied it up again on a Northstars power play 10 minutes later.
The Capitals' offence exploded for five goals in the final frame, with Botterill and Trimble each getting their second tallies of the game, while Carson Buydens, Riley Borody and Tyler Gibson added singles. All of the Central Plains goals in the last 20 minutes came with the teams at even strength.
Gamblin made 28 saves in net for the Northstars, who were outshot 35-22 in the game.
The home losses were the fourth and fifth straight for the Northstars, who opened the season with a three-game road trip.
They fell 10-1 to the Winnipeg Wild in their first game Sept. 27, in which they trailed for most of the contest. Winnipeg's Rory Neil opened the scoring and Clark Scaddan tied it up with about five minutes left in the first period but Winnipeg scored three more times before the intermission, five times in the second period and once in the third.
Gamblin stopped 48 shots in that game, which saw the Wild outshoot the Northstars 58-13.
Snooks and Albert Sinclair scored for the Northstars in their second game, a 6-2 loss to the Pembina Valley Hawks Sept. 28. Sinclair's tally made it a 2-2 game 1:35 into the third period but the Hawks quickly regained the lead and then scored three more times in the last 12 minutes of play.
Odin Church made 53 saves for the Northstars in the game, which saw Pembina Valley record 58 shots compared to 37 for the Northstars.
The Hawks were more than the Northstars could handle in their second straight matchup Sept. 29, building up a 3-1 lead in the first, scoring once more in the second and then piling on with five more goals in the third period. Blake Lahonen had the only goal for the Northstars, who were outshot 54-42, with Church making 45 saves in the loss.
The Northstars are at home again next weekend, taking on the Yellowhead Chiefs at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena Oct. 12-13.

Before we get started with this article, we have to tell you that we can't guarantee that following these tips will result in you getting richer but you will definitely have a stylish and beautiful home. Perhaps that's why so many interior designers still use Feng Shui as a guiding principle.
In all honesty, if adding some pretty gold accents to our living room could improve our chances of winning the lottery, we're in! With nothing to lose, why not take a look at these ideas and see which you might be willing to try yourself?
According to Feng Shui, for money to feel welcome and able to easily enter your home, a neat and clean entrance is a must.
It makes sense and who actually wants a dirty or cluttered front door anyway?
Which colour you choose will be a matter of personal preference but all three of these hues are said to be natural money magnets.
This dining room makes it look easy and stylish to welcome money into your home!
Gold accents, such as traditional coins, are thought to help money flow into your home. Furthermore, they'll also look great and super luxe!
Perhaps it's a case of money going to money?
According to Feng Shui principles, kitchens are directly related to the accumulation of wealth so they have to be kept clean and uncluttered at all times in order to allow money to circulate.
Perhaps you could combine two elements together and create a minimalist red kitchen?
Order is vital in the Feng Shui world so it will come as no surprise that everything in your kitchen needs to have a designated home and be monitored to ensure freshness and date compliance.
Spoiled food must not be allowed to ruin the fresh vibe in your kitchen!
Clean lines and easy to navigate spaces will help to channel money through your home.
If you leave a lot of clutter and belongings in the way, the positive flow will be disrupted, thereby stunting your ability to receive wealth.
Any taps or faucets in and around your home must be attended to in order to prevent leaks.
Water is an element directly linked to money so a leaking tap is effectively your money being washed down the drain!
Joyful colour accents are vital for creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere in your home, not only for money, but guests too.
Don't be afraid to go for it with bright accessories, such as vases or house plants.
Which of these Feng Shui tips will you be trying?
