Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

A pragmatic Fernando Alonso concedes all Ferrari can do in Brazil is everything "perfectly" - the rest is not up to them.
The double World Champion heads into Sunday's showdown in Sao Paulo needing nothing short of a podium finish to even stand a chance of beating Sebastian vettel to the crown.
After that, the rest is up to Red Bull and Lady Luck.
"There are 71 laps to go that will decide the final outcome: the efforts of several months will all come down to a very short space of time," said Alonso.
"Then what will happen will happen and the important thing is that we do everything perfectly: then only luck can be out of our hands.
"We know that a place on the podium alone could be enough. I have confidence in myself and in the team and we will fight right to the end."
The Ferrari admits he goes into the grand prix with a car that is "not super competitive" nor does he expect it to suddenly improve as the team will only be taking a "few small" upgrades to Interlagos.
"We are honest with ourselves and our fans: we know we are not super competitive, but if we are still in the running, it's down to the team which is the best of the lot.
"We will have a few small updates, but the others will have done the same, so the situation won't change much. Maybe finding a good set-up can make the difference or the way the car suits the circuit."
This season is not the first time that Alonso and Vettel have gone into the final race of the Championship fighting for the crown.
In 2010 it was the Red Bull racer who was disadvantaged as he trailed Alonso and his own team-mate Mark Webber. However, a victory in Abu Dhabi while Alonso and Webber were stuck in traffic assured the German of his first crown.
"Would a win be revenge for 2010 in Abu Dhabi?" Alonso said. "No, I think it would just be happiness for us, as for 99 percent of the people, although maybe not for those at Red Bull...
"Ferrari is something special, with everyone giving 100 percent and even more, because they feel part of this family: not just in Formula 1 but also on the commercial side, because when they see a Ferrari drive by on the road, they know that a part of that car, even if it's very small is made by them."

Plush Puppy Juggle Ball
Sale!Price: Was:
The new Tossaball Plush Puppy juggle ball from Flying Clipper is our new hands and feet juggle ball. Peter Irish is the master of hands and feet juggling and here is what he has to say:
"The Flying Clipper Plush Puppies are by far the best juggling balls on the market for hands and feet juggling. This is the ball I have been searching for for years. Once I got a hold of them, I immediately retired my old balls, and began using these full time. The require virtually no break-in, are a great consistency for stalls and body catches, yet they retain their roundness and don't "pancake". These balls are undoubtedly the best resource for any juggler who wants to integrate the hands and feet together in their juggling. The colors are some of the brightest and most beautiful of any juggling balls I've ever seen, which is so important for performing. I have used these balls in several shows and dozens of performances and have been completely satisfied. As well as all this, they are FUN to juggle, and have a feel like no other ball. I am grateful to Flying Clipper (and amazed) for creating a ball that exceeds my expectations for exactly what I do. I completely recommend these balls for any type of juggling, and especially for my specialty of juggling with the hands and the feet at the same time. Huge thanks to Flying Clipper!"

Like so many, I have arrived at using the Titlist Pro V1x and have been pleased with more yardage with my driver. My partners have noticed it, thinking that I was continuing to use cally balls when I had silently changed.

Nothing compares to the ProV1x for my game. Long and straight off the tee with plenty of control around the green. I've been playing the 1x for a few years now and I can't imagine giving it up.

Honda Civic will hold its value the best.
Golf TDI
Personally I'm thinking Mazda3. These things are selling for nearly what a new one goes for when 2-3 years old and 30-50k miles. Crazy.
My thoughts are buy for $15k new, sell in 3 years w/ 40k miles for $13k.
2013 MAZDA3 i SV 4-Door
Total MSRP: $17,495*
* Total MSRP includes $795 destination charge and additional costs for vehicles equipped with available packages, options or accessories. Destination charge $840 in Alaska. Vehicles displayed may contain optional equipment at additional costs. Actual dealer price may vary.
good luck with that $15k number

In Canada the top small cars for residuals are: Mazda 3, Golf TDI (probably Jetta TDI too), Subaru Impreza, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla.
Everything else is a joke. Fords and Chevy's are a dime a dozen, same with any Hyundai/Kia. Dodge has always been cheap resale too, but who knows what the Dart might do. The one big sticking point with going with these brands is resale... great cars, but worth very little in three years. If you don't like the car you're pretty much stuck. Meanwhile, I'm bored with my Golf after 2.5 years, and I can get a good enough trade in value to break even on a balloon-payout 4-year loan... I paid essentially what a lease payment would have been, except I doubled the maximum mileage. Not financial lounge approved, but whatever.

Looking for a Brand new car for 15K and want a great resale value? Only on TCL
"Your pants too tight,your wheels too bright"
lol resale values
Said 15k new car....http://www.byersmazdasubaru.com/deta...chvkid=1214165
Adding factory cruise cost sub $200 after purchase. Win Win.
Why are you buying new if you plan to sell in a few years?
You are the one taking the biggest hit on the price.
Buy a car that is a year or two old.
Used '10 3 sedan, at the same dealer, nearly same spec as the brand-new one posted above except this one has a CD changer and cruise control. 39K miles. It's only $1,000 cheaper than a brand-new one. At that price differential, why not get the new one, with full B2B warranty?
It was the same situation I found when I bought my 3 a couple years ago. I paid ~$17K for mine brand new...meanwhile, identical used ones with 30K miles were sitting on the other side of the lot for...$16,500.

I know op says he needs compact car, but if resale is #1 priority seriously base model Toyota Tacoma reg cab, automatic in white. Will still be worth what you paid for it in four years.
But on topic, I vote for Honda Fit. Honda dealers can't get enough of them, used ones are selling for more than new etc....
third choice would be 2013 Impreza base, AWD, good mpg and good resale.
Oh, hi.
Also, before the usual Bozo the Clowns jump in, notice the Honda Fit is ranked as Best Subcompact, and VW Golf TDI is best alt-fuel vehicle (a category that includes the Prius).
I've recommended the fit to multiple people and two of them actually bought one. They love it.
That would be my first choice.
Another alternative is a toyota corolla. The resale on those things is just amazing. It is a boring car but would be a perfect commuter.
There's also the fact that 4 to 6 years can be a surprisingly long time in the automotive world in terms of determining the residual value you actually end up getting - cars and entire automotive segments can come in and out of favor, drastically affecting the resale value.
For example, we only bought our new Forte because, surprise!, our old Sedona was worth more than we owed on it (I had it appraised on a whim); I thought for sure I'd be upside-down on the minivan for at least another year or two.
So while picking a specific vehicle may give you better odds of getting a good residual value, it's not a guarantee. And just because a car is expected to have poor residual does not mean that, with the right deal upfront, you can't come out ahead when the time comes to trade it in.
It looks like they have dialed it back a bit since launch, as it is now only offered on the Genesis coupe, Genesis and Equus.
Improving the signal-to-noise ratio Come make some hard cider
deals are to be had at end of year. look at my van, you saw the numbers, msrp was 36k ish, out the door for 30,080.00
im sure mazda dealers are willing to take the hit to move inventory....
but i don't see the Toyota Corolla or the Nissan Sentra listed. those will likely have an even larger discount than the others. good luck!

I would think the Cruze Eco model hold value really well. It wouldn't surprise me if gas hits 5/gallon and diesel even more. Those 40mpg cars are going to increase in value like the TDi.

Not sure about your area but Mazda 3 resale is rock bottom around here. Civics, TDIs, Corollas are the closest thing to an investment in that market.
Just open up an Auto Trader.

When I will return the car after 48 months / 60000 miles, Honda Canada considers a trade-in residual of 52%. Awesome.

I bought my Honda Fit Sport 4 years ago for $15.5k and blue book is $14k now. That's amazing. I am considering selling it but will sell it for a bit less than that to give someone a good deal. But that it very little depreciation.

just buy a used one so someone else takes the major hit then you can probably get a nicer car and loose less than buying new. Unless you want the skyactiv mazda....then your probably SOL because i doubt youll find any used ones much cheaper than new.
1999 Toyota 4runner 3.4 Limited
Fit. If you're lucky, you can find a slightly used model for marginally less and avoid sales tax.

Kevin Spacey and crew keep you guessing all the way, and so does the annoying question of 'Who Is Kaiser Soze?', this is a modern classic with so many twists and realisations. The best aspect of this film, which is incredible, is that you realise exactly what has happened AFTER the film has finished- that's pure genius. Must Watch!

Eric Brown and Sam Long know the best way to take care of overgrown junipers. Power up the chainsaw and cut them down to the ground. Many people attempt to shape overgrown spreading junipers but this is often a losing battle. When junipers cover up the front of a home or business, overtake the swimming pool, spread out into the street, cover up the sidewalk, or otherwise create problems, it is time to pull out the chainsaw.
When Eric and Sam finished the job, DH Surveys, Inc., on Chipeta, was visible from the street. You no longer had to crawl through the shrubbery to get to their office. And, the sign advertising their business was no longer hidden by the overgrown junipers they removed. Several trailer loads of brush ended up at the compost site due to their efforts.
There is a point beyond which you cannot prune back junipers. We call this the "dead zone" and once you cut into that zone, you are in trouble. These dead sections may never fill back in. Sometimes new growth from above can drape over these dead sections and mask the dead sections but that may take years.
Gardeners don't always take the mature size of plants into account when they select trees and shrubs. They forget those one gallon spreading junipers may have a spread of 25 feet and grow 12 feet high by the time they are mature. Everyone has seen walkways blocked by spreading junipers, spruce trees that have taken over the sidewalk and need to have a tunnel cut through to get to the front door. Some of the local landscapes I've seen remind me of TV documentaries showing explorers cutting their way through the jungle with machetes.
It is always best to remove troublesome plants and replace them with plants that don't outgrow the designated area when mature. If that is a strange concept to you then you should plan on replacing overgrown plants every few years. I would suggest you talk to your local nurseryman about the growth habit of the plants you are planning on buying. They should be able to tell you the mature height and spread of the plants they are selling.
Your nurseryman should also be able to tell you of any problems trees and shrubs are subject to. A good example of a problem is the basal suckering some crabapples experience. Most crabapples are grafted, i.e. a bud of the desired tree is grafted onto the root system of a different crabapple. Sometimes the grafts have problems and suckers grow from the base of the tree. Removing suckers from these trees is an annual process and if you miss a year or two of this task, the suckers will often outgrow the tree. There are sprays that are supposed to work but I haven't seen much success with these materials.
Cutting the suckers off is the best suggestion. An even better suggestion is not to plant these varieties in your landscape in the first place. Some varieties of crabapples are notorious for suckers and should be avoided. Planting trees too deep can increase root suckering. If you hire a landscape contractor, designer or architect, these troublesome trees should be avoided. When you end up with one of these trees in your landscape the best way to correct the problem is to tear out the tree and replace it with a tree that does not sucker.

But Archer struggles with the morality of creating a sentient being just to harvest organs from it - all the more so when Phlox discovers that the procedure will kill the clone.

Zend_Ical is a component to manage events, alarms and todos in calendar objects.
Zend Framework: Zend_Ical Component Proposal
Proposed Component Name
Developer Notes
1.1 - 22 September 2007: Initial proposal
1.2 - 03 March 2008: Proposal rewrite
1.3 - 19 May 2008: Proposal update (wiki revision: 28)
Table of Contents
1. Overview
2. References
3. Component Requirements, Constraints, and Acceptance Criteria
<ac:macro ac:name="unmigrated-inline-wiki-markup"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
Zend_Ical is a component to manage events, alarms and todos in calendar objects.
Zend_Ical is a component to manage events, alarms and todos in calendar objects.
4. Dependencies on Other Framework Components
- Zend_Exception
- Zend_Date
- Zend_Uri
5. Theory of Operation
Zend_Ical will take an URI (String or Zend_Uri) as argument for the constructor method. Zend_Ical will then parse the ICS file through a LALR parsing mode. All time values within the ICS data will be converted to the local time zone.
After the parsing you can call different methods to gather data from the calendar or add additional data to it. You can also iterate through the calendar object to get all data available.
At the time of writing, Zend_Ical will only support the iCalender 2.0 format.
6. Milestones / Tasks
- Milestone 1: [done] Proposal finished
- Milestone 2: [done] Development of prototype started and checked into http://zend.svn.dasprids.de/
- Milestone 3: Proposal approved
- Milestone 4: Working prototype checked into the incubator.
- Milestone 5: Unit tests exist, work, and are checked into SVN.
- Milestone 6: Documentation exists.
7. Class Index
- Zend_Ical
- Zend_Ical_Exception
- Zend_Ical_Parser
- Zend_Ical_Source_Exception
- Zend_Ical_Source_Abstract
- Zend_Ical_Source_Filesystem
- Zend_Ical_Source_Ftp
- Zend_Ical_Source_Http
8. Use Cases
Open a ICS calendar file
Fetching specific events
Iterating through all events
9. Class Skeletons
Sep 23, 2007

As discussed somewhere else, here are my hints for the interface. That are ideas, which may be useful, but dont has to be, as some might be very special <ac:emoticon ac:name="wink" />

1. default methods like add, set, get, ...

2. getByDateDuration($startDate,$endDate), .... Maybe with the possibility only to get only all items, which are fully in, or their start-/endtimes are in

3. getByDate($date) at the other hand can maybe return the items, which duration overspan the specified time

4. hasByDate($date)/hasByDateDuration($startDate,$endDate), if there are items. I think very useful to specify, if there is free time to plan with <ac:emoticon ac:name="wink" />

5. *byType. Maybe is more useful not to provide a method for this, than provides a option to use with the other methods to filter by Type.

6. getNext, getLast (maybe with parameters). First one seems to by very useful for something like "next meeting at ...", getCurrent as a alias for "getByDate ('now')" (something like that)

7. load, store to file. maybe a kind of file locking possible? (Ive no idea)

8. Merge?

9. Export,Import?!? Seems to be quite special, properly not used very much

Feb 22, 2008

Will this allow generation of repeat events based on RRULE part of the iCal specification.

for eg a sample RRULE like

DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:19970902T090000

should return this

(1997 9:00 AM EDT)September 2,4,9,11,16,18,23,25,30;October 2

Mar 03, 2008

Yes, the entire Ical v2.0 RFC features will be supported.

Mar 17, 2008

I'm really looking forward to using this on a project I'm working on.

Apr 04, 2008

This is going to be very useful.

Are there any plans to add also iCal creation functionality or will this component only parse existing ones?

Apr 16, 2008

It will also be able to create new files, yes.

Jun 02, 2008
<ac:macro ac:name="note"><ac:parameter ac:name="title">Zend Comments</ac:parameter><ac:rich-text-body>

This proposal has been approved for laboratory development with the following suggestions:

define API in more details;

think about integration with Zend_Mail to send and recieve ICAL objects.

Sep 08, 2008

Wouldn't this be more properly called iCalendar and not iCal? I know iCal is also used for the format, but in the RFC it's always called iCalendar. Also, iCal is the name of Apple's calendar program.

Sep 08, 2008

Your reasoning is absolutely right, however... Zend_Icalendar is a very long name compared to Zend_Ical. Personally, I'd rather type less than be more correct in this case <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

Sep 17, 2008

Correct, keep it simple <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

Mar 23, 2009

Postponed to 1.9.

Aug 08, 2009

Hi,

Any progress in this project?

Now, version 1.9 is available, but iCalendar is not included..

Could you provide some more information about this project future plans?

Nov 20, 2009

I am also just checking in to see if there has or will be any progress on this component.

Jan 08, 2010

Is this proposal still being worked on?

Sep 18, 2010

I'm currently working on Zend\Ical for ZF2 again.

Apr 20, 2011

Are you still working on that ? I had look in http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/laboratory/Zend_Ical/library/Zend/ but it looks very incomplete. Do you have another repository ?

I would be interested in creating .ics files, so I could contribute for "export" feature, but I feel like the code in repository is not up to date at all, so I'm not sure if it's worth working on that...

Ok, the layout looks quite nice, just the blue font can be a bit difficult to read, maybe just the titles should be blue and the little blue font can be dark grey?
And I've got a question :) : Why don't you give complete games in "this week's harvest"? I'm not sure if I understood this concept :)
Also I would like to see more comments for a general understanding of an opening. Arne wrote a review about the a6 slav book by Bologan and expressed his wish for an explanation of opening lines so that you really understand the moves and strategies in the opening. I'd like to see such basics, too, when seeing the latest theory moves!
Anyway, I guess comments are useful for you as the concept is still young and some fine-tuning will be done in the next editions

It would be really nice to have a look at issue 2, to get a fuller picture of the magzaine and how it reports really popular club lines like the dragon, other open sicilian lines, and the Rossolimo. What do you say Peter? I promise not to ask for any more issues.

Well, that's why we only ask one euro, Justin...

After a very fast glimpse at #0 and #1, i'm with Felix: more than knowing what has been played, i would be interested in understanding why those moves were done.
i understand that you are offering a magazine, not a book, but i guess readers are more interested in understanding rather than statistics.
if general topics about the variant were given, that would make "this week's harvest" more appealing. And the "opening expert" column could have some juice too.
Only the "game of the week" has material ( which, anyway, isn't about club level play) that can't be found in a database.

"Only the "game of the week" has material ( which, anyway, isn't about club level play) that can't be found in a database."
Only partly true, but OK - for many it's handy enough to have somebody getting it out of that database and present it in a comfortable way, I guess. Anyway, keep the comments going; we're obviously interested in opportunties to improve!

Filipe, statistics can be very interesting, when put in the right perspective, especially for players who want to build or deepen their repertoire I suppose.
- Log in to post comments
well, sorry about my bad english.
What i meant was that besides the "game of the week" column - that i enjoyed very very much -, the other columns, which have very big potential, were limited to statistics (very well presented, i agree) or general information, what is a pity because i guess they could be more appealing.
Btw, i think that i could make myself more clear if i tell that i don't use any database, so everything there is new to me, ie, it's not a problem of getting the same material that i already have, but to understand and give some use to the information Chess Vibes is making available user-friendly.
Continue the great job you are doing. I enjoy Chess Vibes very much and sometimes i even translate some of the articles in my team's blog, so my younger chess mates - who are too young to read english - can access to your great news service.

@ Arne Moll
Let me stress I was merely trying to explain Harry's criticism, as it was incorrectly interpreted in later comments. Moreover, I specifically mentioned I don't blame Chessvibes for following other chess publications in their presentation of statistics, as it has become a norm.
However, more information doesn't necessarily improve a decision making process. Similarly, the statistics provided might worsen the choices between moves made by chess players. Don't get me wrong, I do not want to fuss about it. It's only chess, so it's not really important. I do know some fascinating real life examples of the same principle. If you're particularly interested, let me know. I think it's more probable you just wanted to rebuke me for procrastinating ;-) .
@Merijn van Delft
The point is that we think we can correctly estimate the value of statistics, while in reality this is actually quite difficult. Do you feel I wrongly believe that most of us unconsciously favour moves with a higher scoring percentage (in a regularing situation, not when it's obvious something irregular is going on, e.g. 100% score, only a few games played, easy refutation)? Alas, it's a huge discussion for a minor point. Good luck with the Chessvibes Openings.

First to say: Nicely and well commented games! Go on!
But: From the 3 pages a half page (means 1/6) is - sorry, but I have to say that - rubbish. I mean the statistics. Even if one has to look on statistics (even 2500+) on opening lines very very critically they are somethimes useful or interesting. But only if they were right done! The unit % means nothing but 1/100. To measure a rate with this unit makes only sense if there are enough games! Example: There are only 2 games, one won by White, one won by Black. It makes absolutely no sense to say White won 50% in this case! This would mean he won the rate 0.50. Not 0.5 or 0.500, but 0.50. But what means he won a 0.01 rate of only 2 chess games??? Nonsense. Another one: Three people stand in a room, one child and two adults. What rate of childs do we have? 1/3 - nothing else! 33% = 0.33 would mean you could measure 0.01 of the three people. But this is very sarcastic if they are alive! If there are 300 games and White won 150 and lost 150 you could say White scored 50%! Because in that case the unit rate 1% = 0.01 would mean 0.01*300 games = 3 games. In case of only 4 games to say White made 2 out of 4 would be the right way, not 50% !! White can win 12 chess games or 2 or 1 or maybe a half one (draw) but not 1/10 game. This makes no sense but is used in an implicit way if you say White scored 50% in 4 games! This mistake is done ever and ever and ever and ever again in daily routine by many people!
You should definitely improve your statistics drastically! But don't worry, only some mathematicians recognize it - unfortunately.

You explained it wonderfully , can i ask you a question? (asuming you are a mathematician)
In the film ¨a beautifull mind¨ about Nash ´s life they mention a market theory (or something like that ) which made him earn the nobel price .
It s in a scene when Nash talks about aproaching girls in a bar , ?? wonder if you can explain it briefly or point me to a not - so - dificult way to learn that theory.

@JM, if I understand you correctly, you would like to see the magazine have some kind of disclaimer which reads something like: "Warning! Contains statistics. Statistics in general and averages in particular can cause damage and disappointment when treated without due consideration." Well, perhaps this can indeed be arranged, even if it's really stating the obvious.
@JR. It opens fine with me. Why doesn't it open? What kind of message do you get?

Statistical analyses (diagrams on page 1) should aways be looked at in combination with chess analyses (game of the week on page 2) and of course the latter is by far the most important.
We just provide the data and assume that the average ChessVibes reader is a critical independant thinker who can decide for him/herself what the value of a certain statistic is.
Anyway, all discussion on the value of statistics is appreciated, ChessVibes is happy to stay in touch with its readers on all these matters.
We will indeed evaluate the content of Chessvibes Openings (keep sending feedback!) and finetune if necessary.
Thanks for your reactions so far!

maybe an "odd opening" or "strange" section could be interesting and fun...the most unusual opening of the week, or just a look at an odd opening/variation. :-)

Great initiative!
About the statistics: Everyone can read these statistics easily and make up his mind about its value since the number of games for each line is provided.
One thing: I prefer to have the diagrams in black and white instead of blue. When I make a print of the document, what I am used to do, the blue diagram on page 1 becomes rather vague.

Harry: percentages are usually only meant as an efficient way of expressing numbers in a relative way. In that sense, they shouldn't be taken as anything else than fractions multiplied by 100. Suppose I won in half of my games; this would mean that the fraction of games I won is .5; in other words, I won 50% of my games, regardless of how many games I played. As long as the actual number of games played is explicitly mentioned, anyone can easily see what this percentage means in absolute terms.
I think you're taking percentages too literally, that is, you seem to be reading percentages strictly as 'one-hundredths'. But there's nothing weird or wrong about using percentages as an alternative to fractions. It's just a matter of interpretation.
- Log in to post comments
Thanks for your reply, Eric.
In addition to this, if I understand Harry's post correctly, it implies that not only can chess and stastitics produce only 3 results ever (1, .5 or 0), since it's impossible to score something like .23 in a single game ... but (human) population statistics can only ever produce positive integers (as in average number of children per family) since no woman in the world gives birth to 1.4 children :-)

@Manu: Mathematically it`s simple game theory I think. But he applied it to market theory (I'm not well versed in market theory) and this gave him the market nobel price. If you want to understand you have to study game theory.
@Eric: No. The point is: Most people think they do understand such colored bars, but they don't. In this case (1 or 5 games and %-scale, I think was Topalov's Nxf7 for example) they are not understandable - I mentioned why. But if you try to "read" them without thinking they are extremely mistakable! Saying "Oh this move A made 100% (really 1/1) and that one B only 50% (really 1/2). Thus move A is much better." is nothing other than to toss a coin only ONCE and say to all other people "This coin has ALWAYS had result A." without mentioning how often you tossed. Nothing more to say. It's just a matter of UNDERSTANDING calculation with rates.

Suggesting people will look at the statistics and miss the game numbers RIGHT ABOVE THEM is ridiculous in my opinion. Especially because extremely high or low percentages are always suspect and people will have a closer look.
- Log in to post comments
I think Harry means that providing scoring statistics for different moves in a position is misleading without an evaluation of the significance of the statistical difference. We may believe that we are able to use the number of games to guess accurately whether a difference is significant. In fact, we are mistaken in most cases. Thus, we're tricked into thinking that we can be reasonable certain whether move A scores better than move B, while in fact almost all of us cannot. Disinclined to believe me? Good! Be critical, test it for yourself. If you belong to the big majority of us, you'll be surprised.
Alas, almost all chess statistics are presented in this misleading way, so I don't really blame Chessvibes for doing the same. As far as i know, there is only one chess database program available that calculates in its tree view whether a statistical difference is significant. It's called ChessDB and it's free software. I don't use it anymore, though, as it's a bit buggy.

Statistiscs aren't misleading in my opinion. Statistics bring practical chances in view! Which is probably much more important at club level then an very precise and objective evaluation.
- Log in to post comments
I must thank Ruben for actually stressing my point! Statistics do somewhat reflect practical chances, and that's exactly why they can be misleading.
If there's a one or a few top level games that cast doubt over an entire variation, this isn't automatically reflected in the statistics. We spot those top level games and can conclude the variation is dubious, no problem.
However, when things are less clear, we tend to judge moves on their scoring percentage. Can you honestly say that you've never (un)consciously favoured a move with, say, 58% score, compared to a move with, say, 55% score? I know I have. In many cases such a bias is completely unwarranted, as the 58% move is often not better than the 55% move at all. I'll refer to Harry's example: if you toss a coin and it's a head, that doesn't mean the chance you'll toss a head next time is greater than half. But unconsciously (and maybe also consciously) we argue: "58>55, so this 58% move will give me better practical chances". Misleading ourselves in the process...

Hip Hop 101
What up fam, this ya big homie Cube.
Last week went about as smooth as a baby's ass. We shot the video to my first single, "I Rep That West." Directed by this youngster from Memphis name Gaberial Hart. I'm sitting here waiting for my man Robert Redd to bring me the ruff cut as we speak. We shot the video all over L.A. From downtown to the beach. WC and Toones came through for cameos. I put OMG and Doughboy in the video too. We shot on Wednesday and Thrusday. Then on Friday I shot the album cover photoshoot. We got some sick shots. I'll be posting them up on icecube.com in the days and weeks to come.
Now Saturday was crazy for me. We flew to Dallas because I had to perform at a car show on Sunday. But when the plane landed it was snowing sideways. I had a funny feeling but they said it would be warm by Sunday. But it was cold as fuck on Sunday so the car show got cancelled. I was suppose to do Ricky Smiley's radio show the next day but I flew back to L.A. I'll catch Ricky closer to the release date.
This week I did promotion for the "ARE WE THERE YET" TV show I'm producing on TBS starring Terry Crews. It'll permiere on Wednesday June 2nd. And don't forget about "Straight Outta L.A." the documentary on the L.A. Raiders. It permieres May 11th on ESPN.
The reason I called this blog Hip Hop 101 because some people have forgetten the essence of the art and culture.
Bragging and boasting: When I was coming up. Every rapper had a attitude like Kanye. Now when you say you the best and act like you the best. Niggas get their feeling hurt.
Battling: If you scared to test your skills up against any MC in the game. Quit right now. Become a fuckin' ghost writer and go hide in the corner of the studio. Now they're 2 ways to battle. Freestyle live: To me this is like a slam dunk contest. Or battle on wax: I call this the Finals. That's Hip-Hop.
Question: Why don't I produce up and coming rappers like I use to? I got burnt out. Niggas couldn't take the baton and run wit it. I was sick of babysitting grown ass men and walking them through the industry. I felt like Dr. Frankinstein building uncontrollable monsters. How? If you DON'T make'em a star, they blame you.
If you DO make'em a star, they leave you. I got sick of that ungrateful shit.
With that being said, I understand my last few blogs have been talked about in the streets and all over the internet. I want to make myself clear to all my fans who think I turned my back on the young rappers out here. No. I wish every young MC nothing but success, especially the ones from the New West. BUT, I have a major problem with any mothafucka from ANY COAST dissing the Old West...especially me. I'M SERVING YOU!
Now, I alot of people want me to name names. Buy the record. In stores July 13th. I ain't naming names at this time, but I'm adding names. You let me know if you wanna be on the list.
Keep it Gangsta,
p.s. If I misspelled a few words, blame it on the L.A. Unified School District.

It seems like these days that some of these youngstas don't have any respect for the cats that made a way for these young bucks to do what they do today. So they will dis an old school cat probably knowing that most have gone by the wayside. But once and a while, they dis the wrong cat and end up gettin SMASHED! Put em on ya list Cube. Cause "Can't no nigga see Icecube on no coast! Dr. Frankenstein" You would have thought fools would've learned after listening to "No Vaseline." I'm looking forward to the new album dropping.
West up !!! i think the understanding and the conception of the young is far far different from the old school .. there are new ideals in a far far different world .. so dont blame em ... you said that one of artist holdin the west coast is the game .. i think that he went on like lil wayne [that mothafakin stupid ass faggot nigga] makin duets with some wack ass artist and makin he's shit only fo money, i m not sayin that he was wack when he started representin the west but now ... NIGGA PLEASE !!!
Respect cube


text: 5 Best F1 yet from CodemastersGamesgem | 23/09/2012 | See all Gamesgem's reviews (15)Having played both the previous Codemasters F1 games 2010 and 2011, I was not so sure this years offering was going to offer enough of an improvement to justify purchase. Thankfully it does if you are a dedicated racer.It is more accessible with the difficulty balance much improved, not just for the hardcore but also the standard pad player. I have never been able to drive really confidently with traction control off in the championship, but in 2012, you can. Somehow the controls are more responsive and feedback through the car is better giving you more confidence to push, without making the experience easy.Of course you can still customise the game to suit your play style and experience.Presentation is very slick, as we have become accustom with Codemasters, and the visuals have been suitably improved, the weather effects looking very nice.The better you do in the young driver section at the start, gives you access to to a higher placed team, so its worth pushing, as it does not look like you will be able to win with the lower placed teams, which adds to the realism.All in all I'm very happy after my first impressions, the game is much tighter, which I feel will make the game more enjoyable over the coming months.If you are an F1 fan, now is the time to take the plunge and give the game a go, Codemasters have delivered.
