So say what you will about TimeSplitters being too arcadey or too cartoony or not serious enough—I'll just be over here having a hell of a time. Last I checked, that's what games were for.
Ok, so I get a little geeked out over TimeSplitters: Future Perfect. It's easy to see why though, and besides who really wants to run around as a marine who can't even tape a flashlight to the bottom of his shotgun?
This game is awesome... If you like killing people, this is for you. Hell, if you like killing snowmen, or nurses, or ducks, pirates, ninja, the French...
I'm not going to sit here and tell you that Future Perfect is the best FPS ever. But I will tell you that if you give me a choice between this game and any other FPS (including either "Halo" game), I'll choose to play Time Splitters.
An intensive 3D shooter with a twist or two. The plot does not make much sense, but it is entertaining. [Mar. 05]
The gameplay may be simplistic, but the multiplayer, challenge modes and mapmaking more than make up for it.
It's not perfect, but it's pretty freaking fun!
Whether you are striving for higher ranks or want to dazzle people with a map that you created and uploaded, TimeSplitters' online presence is unprecedented and simply irresistible. [Apr 2005, p.114]
Every aspect of the game feels polished and ready to go, whether it's the single-player story, the online multiplayer, the numerous unlockables, or the custom mapmaker. This is one of those rare Jack-of-all-trades that has actually mastered them all.
It may not be the most original game in the world, but the fact that it offers a level of fun that is certainly unparalleled in the genre more than makes up for that.
Has its highs and its mediums, but no lows.
Shooter with enough guns to satisfy the most trigger-happy soul. [Jan 2007, p.106]
On the one hand, it's a flat, uninspired single-player campaign, with vehicles and base-level NPC co-op play holding it up with shoes strings. While on the other hand, the multiplayer game is substantial, creative, and wildly fun.
Simple and intuitive controls make Future Perfect an excellent pickup and party game.
There are a ton of things to do, and completing the game 100% will take weeks, if not months. The online play is solid, but not spectacular.
TimeSplitters was made with multiplayer in mind, and that's what helps elevate the game above it's shortcomings. [Apr 2005, p.68]
One of the most innovative things about this game is the fact that you can now take your custom maps online and swap them with other players.
With the immense amount of toying and tinkering you can do in this entry of the TimeSplitters series, you will be hard-pressed to become bored quickly.
An excellent getaway from "Halo 2" and "SOCOM 2." Unfortunately, the entertainment may only last a few hours.
Free Radical still offers up a fantastic experience that will make you laugh, cry, laugh some more, and feel like a kooky bad ass from the future.
What clever things Future Perfect does within its trek-across-the-time-continuum framework... It works in the only way it can: with a whole lot of humor. [April 2005, p.115]
Honestly, as far as FPS games go, it really doesn't get too much better than this.
TimeSplitters' charm and "something for everybody" mentality means that you're almost certain to find something to like in Future Perfect.
What this game contains that is totally removed from everything else out there is a quirky, infectious, humorous character, one that seems to deeply reflect the personality of its makers. When you play it, you really sense a stamp of originality and zany flavor in its presentation and structure. [March 2005, p.48]
Almost exactly what we wanted it to be. Story mode and single-player antics are diverting enough but the game excels in multiplayer, offering fast-paced thrills that only the highlights of the "Unreal" series can really contest. [March 2005, p.122]
It's certainly refreshing to have a game that's long and tough, but doesn't forget that carnage needs to be entertaining before it's inspiring.
The mechanics are competent, but it is the characterisations, especially the wooden delivery of some lines, that let the game down. On the plus side, the ample options include a story mode, multiplayer clash modes and a mission designer to open up replay values.
The main, single player story mode may be the biggest disappointment in TimeSplitters: Future Perfect but it makes a decent training mode for the variety of other fun offline and online modes.
Packed with a bevy of features, TimeSplitters Future Perfect is a cornucopia of candy-coated goodness for any FPS fan. If you start now, you just might be able to unlock everything by the time "Halo 3" ships to stores.
Unadulterated run-'n-gun goodness. Future Perfect is packed with so many features that even the most jaded FPS fans will find something they like on offer; decimating everything or hosting a multiplayer kill-a-thon, this game can accommodate all comers.
It suffers from the single player experience coming up so short and the lack of really stepping forward in the series, but I won't complain because it's still nothing but a good time for FPS fans, complete with a heavy load of arsenal and just enough butt to kick.
The times when we were able to get good online games going without any problems were absolutely fantastic, a real reminder of great blazing fast arcade shooters from years past like Quake and the classic "Unreal."
As forgettable as the story mode is, this is a game that should be judged by the pleasure it can bring to a room full of gamers eager for furious arena combat and a splendid variety of team games. And judged by those criteria, it has few peers. [Apr 2005, p.94]
The amusing story missions are fast and offer plenty of variety.
Although the single player campaign can get a bit boring, the multiplayer aspect of Future Perfect offers endless hours of mindless violence.
Despite some shady collision detection, disappearing corpses and enemies walking unchanging lines, seemingly oblivious to your presence and the death of nearby comrades, Future Perfect is a solid package offering a huge amount of Easter Eggs and content with a great sense of humor, both online and off, that will keep you coming back.
Vets, however, might find it hard to overlook the lacking A.I., inability to jump and brief Story. The future looks good, but far from perfect.
Much of the run-and-gun action is marvelously good but whenever we were just starting to get comfortable with a level or a particular set of weapons, the game was already zipping us off to someplace new.
Lacks some of the technological prowess of other shooters, but its personality and extras keep its head above water.

How many times have we seen a major national brand's keywords or advertising venues dominated by a single market sales outlet? Or a dealer or franchisee that can get to a spot faster than the marketing department can identify a potential new lead source?
After speaking with a number of national advertisers that market locally through branch offices, dealers, or distributors, it seems like the balance between franchise and corporate marketing strategies remains a mystery.
The answer lies in creating a comprehensive strategic plan for the brand to leverage the various stakeholders' core competencies. Once armed with a strategic plan, a process and procedure can be developed and refined for virtually any media type.
To illustrate the point, let's create the number one brand for selling whirligigs in brick-and-mortar franchises throughout North America. To begin the strategic planning, first make a list of all of the possible online media outlets that can be leveraged for the brand.
Next, we'll want to review the various media types to determine where the crossover points are between the national brand (corporate) and the local sales (franchise) outlets. For example, which elements are purely related to the brand and which ones are for lead generation on a local level?
Online Media Outlet | Corporate | Both | Franchise |
Web site (individual for each) | X | X | |
Paid Search | X | ||
Organic Search | X | ||
Display Ads | X | X | |
Internet Yellow Pages | X | ||
Mobile Search | X | ||
Local Listing Feeds (Mobile, Maps, GPS) | X | ||
User-Generated Content (Ratings, Reviews) | X | ||
Social Network Sites | X |
This list should make it easier to envision the messaging that you want. Let's start by assigning focus points.
Corporate Websites
The brand website should focus on creating positive awareness and perception for the brand's products and channel ready-to-buy prospects to franchise sales outlets. With this Web site, the keyword and key phrase lexicon should resemble the following:
- Brand-related terms with no geo designators.
- Product-related keywords and phrases that are registered trademarks of the brand (again) with no geo designators or generic ones at most.
Franchise Websites
The local Web site should carry through the same brand messaging, but will have a geo focus for the area being served and specific products/services tailored to that location. For this Web site, the keyword and key phrase lexicon should resemble the following:
- Brand terms that related to a defined geography.
- Product keywords with clear geo designations.
Now that your Web sites have the proper messaging and are tailored to both your brand and your franchises, you can move onto the media that feeds into your Web sites and storefronts.
Paid Search
Messaging for this will be in the form of targeted general keywords (to build your brand) as well as specific, long-tail (and geo-targeted) keywords that will drive to your franchise Web sites. Here are six tips for aligning your national and local SEM efforts.
Organic Search
By perfecting your messaging across your corporate and franchise Web sites, you're already making your site more relevant to the user. This is the first step in getting ranked organically on search engines.
From here, can you do a number of things to help you get ranked higher and become more relevant to users. Get to know local SEO and use natural link building practices.
Display Ads
Use an "air cover" corporate display program. Target search retargeting or behavioral elements while using specific market programs coordinated to the franchise sales territories that promote the brand and the local outlet.
Internet Yellow Pages
This media outlet can combine the best of both worlds, but it's important to leverage the cost savings available to your brand by building these campaigns the right way. You'll get the best cost savings (brand focused) with a national program. However, having a national program with franchise listing will also drive consumers to physical locations.
Check out dealer programs that allow you to save on bulk listings. Starting at the franchise level just opens you up to a sizeable cost disparity and inefficient and inconsistent messaging.
Mobile Search
This is still new, so it's best that mobile search be tested by corporate first. However, to drive sales locally while keeping brand appeal, a proper naming convention must be employed to aid in consistent listing structures map and mobile sites use. The naming convention can be as simple as:
Whirligig Authorized Sales -- Gregg's house of Widgets
1313 Mockingbird Lane
Humansville, AR 01234
Leading with the national brand will ensure that your multiple outlets in a market appear together in a more organized fashion and make user selection easier on local search sites or resources (e.g., GPS navigation systems) that alphabetize listings.
Local Listing Feeds and User-Generated Content
The naming convention and messaging for mobile search directly applies to local listings online as well. Having this local business information readily available is just one more way for consumers to find locations or franchise Web sites. For more information, check out "Ranking in Local Listings" and "Consumers Head Online for Local Business Information."
Continue to Part 2, which will explore how to parse responsibilities for social media and how to set up a measurement dashboard for comparing local and national results.

@InterwebUser Fire Emblem: Awakening had 43 chapters and another 6 released absolutely free. 12 would be less than 1/3 of a full game assuming 43 is a full game.
@Spleetal My assumption is that, in the states, we'll have both paths on cart for $40. American audiences don't normally take kindly to this sort of thing from my experience, and hopefully Nintendo knows that. Plus they've talked it up as a huge choice, so it looks like they won't be splitting the game up in the states.
Sounds like Pokemon style pricing. My guess is most of the maps will be reused, but there will be a few differences.
I expect some trolling on the part of Nintendo.
Reggie: We will also be launching every first party N64, SNES and NES game on the Wii U virtual console this Summer.
Fans: FINALLY!
Reggie: April fools!
@retro_player_22 Because not everyone wants to buy two units. Instead of using two units, I can just use the small japanese one for both.
IIRC you can download any game tied to your PSN account onto any Playstation when you've logged on.
Oh Nintendo, when I said I wanted you to start doing DLC, I meant for you to look at DLC like Dragonborn, not the Horse Armor.
@nacho_chicken Okay, thanks. I needed a new SD card, so I ordered a Micro so I wouldn't have to order a fourth when I upgraded. I was worried about the adapter, so thanks for letting me know!
Until I upgrade 3DSes, my MicroSD cards will work fine in my regular 3DS if I use an adapter, right?
@Cookieman336 I stopped playing the game around the fire temple. By then it felt like a chore to play. It's a good game, just not all that great.
I keep telling myself that I don't need to upgrade, and that my Cosmo Black 3DS will suffice, but my sub conscious won't listen to me.
I have some left over credit on my account and was hoping for a good new game this week, but looks like I'll be holding onto the credit for a little longer.
Code Name STEAM and Monster Hunter look good. Other than that, this looks like another disappointing year for the 3DS.
I thought it was announced that all SSB4 fighters were getting an Amiibo. Doesn't that mean all of the choices for the vote will be made into Amiibo eventually?
The 3DS was underwhelming this year, the only game I've purchased for it being Tomodachi Life. Guess I'll have to vote for that then.
As if the ego of 80s gamers wasn't big enough, let's bring a bunch of teenagers on set and record them failing at their first try playing Mega Man.
If Nintendo made a phone, it would be a novelty produce. Considering all that would have to go into making the phone, it would be a huge waste.
Anyone else feel like it took a long time to get anywhere on Epona? Five minutes isn't a long time the first time you make the trip, but if you're making it dozens of times it'll get tedious.
@Platypus101 "look at the 9 games we have" Because quantity is more important than quality! Seriously, all of the current gen consoles are good. No need for "console wars".
@Maelstrom Your comment has too much water. /joke
I agree, "too much water" was all over Facebook (the only social network I use) and so it makes sense that it would spread across Tumblr like wildfire.

#1 Radical Obama Regulatory Chief Cass Sunstein Resigns08-06-2012, 11:28 AM
Cass Sunstein administered the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). Referred to as OIRA (Oh-eye-rah) in wonky academic circles, it is one of the most powerful behind-the-scenes jobs a person can have because it reviews nearly every regulation for an administrative state that continues to expand.
And on Friday, Sunstein resigned from this post and said he would go back to Harvard, signifying another moment in which a key Obama ally decided it was better to jump ship.
Sunstein once argued in a speech at Harvard that the government could be used to eliminate practices such as ... meat eating, argued hunting should be banned (We ought to ban hunting ... that should be against the law ... its time now, he said), and wrote in a 2004 book that animals should be able to sue in a court of law and have humans represents them as clients.
Few represented President Barack Obamas academic aloofness and air of intellectual superiority more than Sunstein and Obama essentially asked the radical professor what job he would want in his administration.
That would explain why he was given enormous power to review the language of Obamacare. Sunstein also reviewed Dodd-Frank, which is destroying small banks, environmental regulations, new food rules -- such as changing the food pyramid to a plate -- and a variety of fuel efficiency standards. He was also in charge of E.P.A. regulations that created new standards for carbon emissions from various-sized plants, which burdened businesses and created more economic uncertainty for those trying to start businesses or build manufacturing plants at home.
In truth, Sunstein -- and OIRA -- reviewed nearly everything in the vast administrative state. His power is more significant in dealing with under-the-radar rules and regulations that often go unnoticed.
The New York Times aptly described Sunstein as someone who came to Washington to test his theories of human behavior and economic efficiency in the laboratory of the federal government.
Like Obamas, these academic theories are often not grounded in reality, and that is why they fail miserably.

A maid or a maiden usually refers to a virgin woman. Maidens may be wedded and bedded... however, even there, many husbands will wait until the bride is fifteen or sixteen before sleeping with them. Very young mothers tend to have significantly higher rates of death in childbirth, which the maesters will have noted. [1]
A guarantee of a woman's virginity is normally the presence of a maidenhead. Women are generally expected to be virgins on their wedding night, more so for noble women. For example, because Lysa Tully was no longer a virgin her father Lord Hoster Tully found it difficult to arrange a marriage for her to a man of equal rank.
The loss of a noblewoman's virginity can also become an opportunity for some nobles looking to marry off sons who are not considered good prospects. After many rejections from other Houses Lord Tywin Lannister eventually approached the father of Delena Florent who had given birth to the bastard Edric Storm. Tywin proposed that his dwarf son Tyrion be married to Delena. Her father rejected the proposal, preferring to marry her off to one of his household knights, like Hoster Tully he probably wanted a "whole man" for his daughter.[2]
Virginity can also be held in high esteem by the Dothraki on occasion. It is quite likely that a khaleesi should be a virgin bride. If Daenerys Targaryen's brother had succeeded in claiming her maidenhead the night before her wedding it would have, according to Illyrio Mopatis, undone years of planning[3] – meaning that Khal Drogo would not have accepted Daenerys if she had not come to him a virgin.
A virgin man can also be referred to as a maiden[4] or a man-maid[5] on occasion.

Bolger, Fergus (2010) 'An experimental study of the nature of consumer expectations.', Working Paper. Durham University, Durham.
Although important both theoretically and practically, the nature of consumer economicexpectation formation has been little studied, particularly by psychologists. The mostrelevant previous research suggests that expectations are based on a heuristic that resultsin them being significantly biased. Further, relevant indicator series are poorly utilized.However, this earlier research used a task lacking in potentially important features of thereal world, and this may have impaired performance. In the current experiment,participants received a more ecologically-valid task. Although there was still evidence ofheuristic use, leading to suboptimal performance and bias, this performance wassignificantly better than anticipated from previous research, particularly regarding use ofindicator series. However, when a strong trend in the criterion series allowed accurateforecasting without consideration of indicators, they were little used. I conclude thatexpectations are formed by first extrapolating the criterion series and only if that workspoorly is other relevant information considered. Thus consumers appear to trade-offaccuracy against effort, such that more effort is expended only when some threshold ofacceptable performance fails to be reached.

yes, you put in anything you want, except an acid food like tomatoes which would prevent the beans from getting tender. At least, they do when cooking in a pot on the stove, I assume the same thing would happen in a PC. Also, fresh herbs are usually put in at the end, after cooking. When you put the spices in before cooking you get the all day simmered flavor.

Released: Nov 01st, 2003
Running Time: 74
Company: 130 \"C\" Street Corporation
Cody Tyler, Liza Plus, Dirk Adams, Tia (I), Elle De Vyne, Drew Andrews, Geneva, Chance Caldwell
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Fine music and some exceptional production values for its genre make this release a standout. The walking blues soundtrack is well matched to the action, particularly in the opening sequence, where a voluptuous she-male sucks off her guy. She is costumed in some lovely lingerie, and she moves like a burlesque dancer. Her makeup is subtle and pretty, and she grinds her ass magnificently.
A pig-tailed tranny does the innocent little girl act beautifully in a later scene. She has a gorgeous, curvaceous figure and she swallows dick like a pro. Her breath comes quick as she gets that big rod up the ass.

UPDATE: Deutsche Bank Downgrades Scripps Networks Interactive to Hold, Lowers PT
In a report published Monday, Deutsche Bank downgraded its rating on Scripps Networks Interactive (NYSE: SNI) from Buy to Hold, and lowered its price target from $76.00 to $65.00.
Deutsche Bank noted, "We are lowering our DCF-based target price, predominately as a result of lower estimates due to poor viewership trends at the Food Network, as well as fine tuning affiliate growth and investment losses based on management commentary at a recent conference. With more limited upside to our target price, a Hold rating becomes appropriate. We had been patient with soft Food Network ratings trends post-Olympics, hoping for a turnaround while waiting for Tribune to emerge from bankruptcy as we expected SNI would successfully be able to buy in the Food minority stake from Tribune."
Scripps Networks Interactive closed on Friday at $59.83.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, systemic disorder that predominantly affects women. Although patients with LAM mostly present with pulmonary symptoms, some patients may present initially with extrapulmonary symptoms. We present a case of a 30-year-old Japanese female with abdominal pain during menstrual periods was suspected of having ovarian cancer due to exaggerated ascites observed at a local clinic. Subsequently, she was transferred to our hospital for further investigations, and was diagnosed with LAM. Three years after diagnosis, she had a girl by cesarean section to avoid the progression of pulmonary LAM by vaginal delivery. The patient is undergoing follow-up treatment with the administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone-analog. Though LAM is rare, gynecologists should know about it because it may occur with gynecological symptoms in young women. |

Every time the United States or the West steps into an Islamic country it presents a major geopolitical gift to China. (When the U.S. decided to intervene in Libya) China was saying, "Great, go ahead! Go into more Islamic countries. Make my day."
A lot of my writings are intended to serve as a wake-up call to the West. I'm not anti-West nor am I anti-American - even though many people think I am. I'm actually just telling the West that you are acting against your own long-term geopolitical and economic interests in your policies towards the rest of the world. There was a time - and it lasted only 200 years - when the West could make decisions and the rest of the world had to comply. That era is gone, finished – poof!
"China actively suppresses the renminbi on the currency markets through massive dollar purchases. As a result the renminbi is deeply undervalued on the foreign-exchange markets. Just comparing the economies on their exchange rates misses that altogether," said MarketWatch columnist Brett Arends.

Difference between revisions of "1939-09-25 Billy Conn w pts 15 Melio Bettina, Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - NY/NBA"
(No difference)
Revision as of 15:16, 27 June 2012
1939-09-25 Billy Conn w pts 15 Melio Bettina, Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - NY/NBA. Referee: Red Robinson. As in their previous fight, Conn (172¼) was kept at bay for the opening six rounds as the clever Bettina (174½) continually confused him with his southpaw stance. Cut under the left eye, the champion began to pick things up in the seventh and ducking and countering well he began to outbox Bettina for the rest of the contest bar the 13th. In that session it was all Bettina, who took his man to the ropes, battering away with blows to head and body, and generally roughing Conn up. Although taken out of his stride, Conn came back well to shower Bettina with lefts and rights to maintain his lead on all three cards, but despite having the latter badly hurt a couple of times he was unable to floor him.

I'm trying to be quite active on CouchSurfing as a host, but also try to travel when I have
time. As a guest, I can say that I'm curious to explore the new place -- wherever that is, alone with a map or in the company of a host! Also would gladly cook a dinner or help out doing that. A good discussion over a beer or a glass of wine is also on the list :)
That's about it for now, but I'll be glad to tell more if you ask me!

Savor the flavors of everyday real food, fresh from the garden or stored on your pantry shelves.
By Troy Griepentrog
Tags: gluten-free
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Some people avoid gluten for other health reasons. Gluten is in many foods you might not think of — cream soup, gravy and soy sauce — but those foods can be made without gluten. Bread, cakes, cookies and other foods usually made with wheat flour can also be made gluten free by using rice, potato, sorghum or other flours. Gluten-free baking can be a little challenging, but new gluten-free products and mixes are available all the time, making it easier to have variety in your diet while still avoiding gluten. Here are a few of the products we've sampled in the last year or so.
Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Mixes We tested the shortbread cookie mix and vanilla cake mix from Bob's Red Mill. The vanilla cake mix was good, with little difference between it and a "standard" mix. The shortbread cookie mix was impressive. One of the editors who is not accustomed to gluten-free foods said, "I couldn't tell these were gluten free." (High praise from this particular editor, who is a tough critic.) It's also great to have some out-of-the-ordinary gluten-free desserts — not just the standard cookie and cake mixes.
Bob's Red Mill also produces various flours and other ingredients useful (even necessary) for gluten-free baking. My wife and I keep a variety of gluten-free flours in our fridge.
Beanitos Gluten Free and Corn Free Bean Chips Even if you're not eating gluten free, there are good reasons to avoid genetically modified corn. Beanitos are made primarily from beans, and although we hesitated to try them, we really liked them. They're something delightfully different than standard corn chips. One editor asked, "Where can I buy these?" Beanitos are available at Whole Foods stores throughout the United States. They should also be available soon (you may have seen them already) at major grocery chains: Kroger, A&P, Winn-Dixie, Ingles, Publix and Harris Teeter.
King Arthur Gluten Free Mixes and Flour We've just started trying the gluten-free mixes from King Arthur, but the gluten-free cookie mix is versatile: You can make several types of cookies from the same mix. My wife used it to make chocolate chip cookies. She says, "This is the best of the gluten-free cookie mixes we've tried." The editorial staff sampled these cookies, too. Only one negative comment: "The texture is somewhat 'gritty.'" That seems true of many gluten-free foods when you initially start eating them. After a while, most of us don't notice it any longer.
Baugher Almond Meal Baugher Ranch Organics doesn't specifically market its almond products as gluten free, but almonds don't contain gluten. So, I've used the almond meal as a breading for fish and it works wonderfully in that context.
Allergen-Free Baker's Handbook I once heard a food scientist say that if we take all the things that people might be allergic to (wheat, soy, dairy, nuts, eggs and others) out of food, we basically have cardboard left to eat. That makes sense; you can't please everyone. I was skeptical about the Allergen-Free Baker's Handbook, but when my wife made the Blueberry Millet Muffins and Orange Scones, I changed my mind. Both of these recipes produced fabulous treats. If you have Celiac disease or food allergies, this is a great collection of recipes.

CTDB question: Repair function |
CTDB question: Repair function |
May 24 2010, 22:19
Group: Members Posts: 52 Joined: 7-January 10 Member No.: 76815 |
First off, i'd like to say that CTDB is probably the most useful and amazing tool i've seen since i started doing DAE a few months ago. Thankyou so much for creating something that can repair bad rips or essentially .. damaged CDs.
I've started using the CTDB repair function and i'm absolutely loving it. I'm struggling with a certain feature of it right now though. Some of the albums I want to repair are showing up in the CTDB but when I attempt to verify them, it says for example " AR: offset 112, rip not accurate (0/116), CTDB: could not be verified ". Now this seems to be happening pretty much only for albums where the accuraterip log shows matches for multiple offsets and the CTDB repair function won't activate and encode my files because it doesnt know which offset to use. I tried telling cuetools what offset to use in order to force the encode, but it wouldnt do it. I tried fixing the offset of the files just incase that was causing it, but that wouldnt do it either. Now I know the repair function can only repair a certain amount of errors, but for these albums i dont think the error count would be that high. I think the CTDB just gets stuck when it doesnt know which offset to use..... which is weird, because if you look at the bold text above, cuetools + AR is able to figure out the right offset. Is there a way of telling the CTDB to use the offset that AR is seeing and then repairing the damaged tracks? This situation doesnt happen in all cases with multiple offsets, but just mostly when there is a large number of offsets or the confidence for track matches are quite similar for each of the offsets Again, this DB is awsome. If you have the time to populate it with your verified albums then please do so, because everyone benefits in the end. This post has been edited by Skybrowser: May 24 2010, 22:27 |

No, as far as I understund how CTDB works, it is designed to be "cross-pressing" or "offset independent" if you prefer, so even if your rip/pressing is not in the AR database, the fact that it doesn't match with CTDB means that you will never be able to fix it with the actual amount of data/strenght of CTDB. In other word your rip can suddenly appear in AR database & it should still not be fixable in CTDB.
In other words, because CTDB doesn't recognize your rip, it is very unlikely that your rip is accurate because the fact that CTDB doesn't recognize your rip cannot be due to a simple offset difference. This also answer the question of Greynol of how can I know that this rip is unlikely to be accurate. Warning: All the above rely on the fact that my understanding of CTDB is right, actually I am not 100% sure that CTDB is offset independent. Read this post & the whole discussion around (read down to the conclusion post #55) to be sure that you understand it like me. Gregory: (from the linked discussion) QUOTE CTDB stores only one record for all pressings. As far as I understund CTDB ignore a "big" (by "big" read bigger than any offsets) part of the beginning & end (10 frames) of the CD in order to be offset independent by focusing on the "heart of the CD". That's how I understund it, if I am wrong then the above is wrong. This post has been edited by sauvage78: May 25 2010, 05:05 -------------------- CDImage+CUE
