Q: Are "ensure" and "insure" interchangeable?—Anonymous
A: Some stylebooks say yes, and some say no. Are you any less confused? These two words are often used in place of each other, but WD's style separates them.WD—and many other publications—uses "insure" only when referring to financial insurance policies. After signing a contract with a professional baseball team, Jack decided to insure his pitching arm for $1 million. When the meaning is "to make certain," WD sticks with "ensure." It's my job to ensure that you don't misuse terms like these.
There are some newspapers and magazines, such as The New York Times and The New Yorker, that still use "insure" in both instances, but it's fairly archaic to do so. Most publications differentiate the two.

Series of suspicious fires in Galashiels
Police in the Borders are investigating following a number of suspicious fires in the Galashiels area.Read the full story ›
Something fishy's going on
Two ponds in Dumfries and Galloway have been targeted by thieves.
Sixteen fish were stolen from a pond at a house in Grahamsfield, Kirkpatrick Fleming at some point last night.
The fish, orange goldfish, black and orange Koi carp, and large orange Koi carp, have a value of around £400
It follows a similar theft of fifteen Koi carp, with a value of around £500, from a pond at a house in Newton Square in Springfield.
This is a very unusual type of theft for our area, and certainly to have two similar thefts, only a few miles apart and in such a short timescale does add to the theory that they may be linked.
We are however keeping an open mind and would ask anyone who may have any information which may assist in these enquiries to get in touch with me though 101"
Two killed in Dumfries and Galloway death crash named
The two men killed in a single vehicle collision in Dumfries and Galloway last night have been named.
Police Scotland said 25-year-old William Kirk from High Bishopton, Whithorn, who was the driver of the car, and 18 year old Justin McCaig, from Myrton Crescent, Port William died following the crash on the A747 Road at West Barr, Port William at around 9:20pm yesterday.
They were the only two people in the car and the Procurator Fiscal has been informed.
Police have re-issued their appeal for anyone who may have been on the A747 road in the area of West Barr, Port William, at the time of the collision to get in touch if they saw the black Vauxhall Corsa car or an articulated lorry which was in the vicinity of the crash.
Police at Stranraer can be contacted through 101.
Two killed in Dumfries and Galloway road crash
Two men have been killed in a one vehicle road crash in Dumfries and Galloway.
At 9:20pm yesterday (Monday) a black coloured Vauxhall Corsa collided with a bridge on the A747 Glenluce to Glasserton Road at West Barr, Port William around 17 miles south of Newton Stewart.
Following the collision an 18-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene and a 25-year-old man was taken to Galloway Community Hospital in Stranraer where he later died.
A full crash scene investigation is currently being undertaken and the road at the scene is closed. Police are seeking witnesses to this crash and want to hear from anyone who may have been on the A747 road at around 9:20pm hours. Witnesses can call police at Stranraer on 101.
Police appeal after Melrose firearm sighting
Police in the Borders were called to woods near Melrose on Friday following reports that a man was seen holding a shotgun.
Police carried out a thorough search of the woods at the back of Harleyburn Court but they did not trace the man. He was not acting in a threatening manner.
Police say he is described as white, aged between 50 and 60 years old and around 5ft 10inch tall. He has greying hair and stubble and was wearing black jacket, black trousers, green Wellingtons and carrying a black rucksack.
"It is not clear at this stage what the man was doing at the time but clearly we are concerned by reports that he was seen in woodland holding what appears to be a double-barrel shotgun.
"There may be a reasonable explanation and that is why we are keen to here from him directly or from members of the public who perhaps saw the man at some point during the day."
Beattock man missing for more than two weeks
Police and family members are growing increasingly concerned about a man from Dumfries and Galloway who has been missing for more than two weeks.
Kenneth Thomson, 54, was last seen in Beattock, near Lockerbie, on Wednesday 29 April 2015.
Despite local coverage, appeals and enquiries into his whereabouts, there have been no reported sightings of him.
He's described as being about 6'2" tall, of medium build, and with fair hair which is balding on top.
He speaks with a Zimbabwean accent, and he has his passport with him.
We are keen to hear from anyone who may have had contact with Kenneth over the past few weeks, or who may know of his current whereabouts.
Anyone with any information can call Police Scotland at Lockerbie on 101."
Man arrested after racial abuse incident
A 24-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a racial abuse incident in Hawick.
The incident happened on the High Street on 29 April, when a man allegedly shouted racial abuse at a member of the public.
He will appear at Jedburgh Sheriff Court on 1 June.
Motorcyclists arrested for driving at double the speed limit
Police Scotland have stopped three motorcyclists in Dumfries and Galloway who were driving at around 130mph on a 60mph road.
The men, from the Sheffield area, were stopped on the A75 near to Gatehouse of Fleet on Saturday 9 May.
The 36-year-old, 42-year-old and 46-year-old will all be reported to the Procurator Fiscal for road traffic offences.
The men were stopped as part of Operation Zenith, which is focused on improving rider behaviour:
These are ridiculous speeds on a public road and officers will be continue to patrol all our roads in the region to promote safe and responsible motorcycling as part of Operation Zenith.
In the run up this week to the North West 200 motorcycle event in Northern Ireland our roads will become much busier with motorcycle traffic and officers will be out on patrol to ensure that those passing through are adhering to the laws of the road."
Ancient pottery stolen from Melrose Abbey
Roman pottery believed to be from 80-180 A.D. has been stolen from a museum in the Scottish Borders.
The incident happened sometime between Wednesday 30th April and Friday 1st May within the Commandants House of Melrose Abbey.
The stolen goods are valued at around £400 and anyone who can assist police with their enquiries is asked to come forward.
"The room was not open at the time of this incident, however we are keen to hear from anyone who remembers seeing anything suspicious around Melrose Abbey between Wednesday and Friday last week.
"In addition, those with information that can help us trace those responsible and return the items to the museum is also urged to contact police immediately."

As 2012 draws to an end, it's time once again for various analytics firms to reveal what the statistics they've been feverishly compiling. Forrester Research is one such organization, and as TechCrunch reports, the company's annual "State of Consumers and Technology" report has just been published.
Among the tastier tidbits of data on the report is the finding that 19 percent of consumers in the US now own at least one tablet. That figure is roughly double what it was at the end of 2011, which is quite a remarkable leap in adoption.
The research also found that while 43 percent of consumers now utilize web-based programming via their TVs, the method by which many user connect may surprise you; 42 percent of those who use the internet on their TVs do so through a video game console, with just 14 percent of the remainder relying on set-top boxes like Apple TV.

Publisher's Description
The untold story of King Nebuchadnezzar's daughter. For seven years the Babylonian princess Tiamat has waited for the mad king Nebuchadnezzar to return to his family and to his kingdom. Driven from his throne to live as a beast, he prowls his luxurious Hanging Gardens, secreted away from the world. Since her treaty marriage at a young age, Tia has lived an opulent yet oppressive life in the palace. But her husband has since died and she relishes her newfound independence. When a nobleman is found murdered in the palace, Tia must discover who is responsible for the macabre death, even if her own freedom is threatened. As the queen plans to wed Tia to yet another prince, the powerful mage Shadir plots to expose the family's secret and set his own man on the throne. Tia enlists the help of a reluctant Jewish captive, her late husband's brother Pedaiah, who challenges her notions of the gods even as he opens her heart to both truth and love. In a time when few gave their hearts to Yahweh, Tia must decide if she is willing to risk everything—her possessions, her gods, and her very life—for the Israelite's one God. Madness, sorcery, and sinister plots mingle like an alchemist's deadly potion, as Tia chooses whether to risk all to save the kingdom—and her family.

Microsoft has acknowledged a security flaw in its recently released Office 2008 suite and has promised an update to fix the issue. The installer flaw, reported earlier this week, incorrectly grants ownership of the files to a particular local user as it installs them, allowing a second local user -- without administrative access -- to modify the Office 2008 install. According to the company, the issue, however, does not expose the Office 2008 install to modifications by any networked user account or to any local account other than the second one created on your Mac. The Mac BU says that it is working on an update to Office 2008 that will automatically fix the file ownership (will be made available via Microsoft's AutoUpdate tool and via a web download), but offered a set of terminal commands users can run to repair the issue if the suite has already been installed.
Digital video specialist Red is alerting its users to an incompatibility with QuickTime 7.4 when using Red Alert, as well as issues with Final Cut Pro and Red One footage. Users will experience decreased system stability, so Red advises users to avoid upgrading to QuickTime 7.4 until either itself or Apple has issued a fix. Neither Red nor Apple has commented on what is causing the issue, and it is unknown if any of Red's other products are affected by the bug.
iPhone owners should be on guard against a new threat, which fortunately doesn't harm the device, but still induces a freeze by taking all available system memory. According to security firm SecurityFocus, the vulnerability is exposed by a Denial of Service attack, when a maliciously crafted webpage is viewed. The page will insert code into the iPhone, which continually eats up available system memory before causing a kernel panic.
Canadian cell provider Rogers Wireless is set to institute a series of changes to its cellular data plans that should pave the way for devices such as the iPhone, according to increasingly corroborated reports. A tip indicates that the carrier will begin offering a reworking of the company's $20 monthly Communicate Package that allows both unlimited Internet access from a given phone as well as up to 2500 SMS text messages, 1000 MMS picture or video messages, and calling extras such as voicemail and caller ID. A separate $7 plan will offer just the Internet use and 50 minutes of video calling with Rogers' VISION service, while a $5 plan will offer just the data alone.

CAPE VINCENT Town supervisor Urban C. Hirschey, who told Robert A. Shimp to halt the installation of his 50-foot personal wind turbine in a Jan. 30 letter, attempted to talk things over with Mr. Shimp Wednesday following a Times report.
I told him hed have to talk to my lawyer, Mr. Shimp said after a brief phone conversation with Mr. Hirschey, who apparently wanted to sit down and talk.
Mr. Hirschey, who did not return calls Tuesday seeking comment, was unavailable Wednesday.
Mr. Hirscheys letter demanded that Mr. Shimp stop the nearly $35,000 work because the Town Council is about to pass a wind moratorium.
However, Mr. Shimp was granted a permit for the project more than a month ago and has already bought the turbine parts for about $25,000, which sit on his 31699 County Route 6 property waiting to be assembled.

Superbly done! You tested in the highest bracket, earning the title of The Cinema Buff!
You scored unusually high in all fields, rendering you knowledgeable, cultivated, and experienced. In specific categories, you scored 91% in knowledge of cinema history and 96% in knowledge of current cinema as well as 83% in knowledge of directors and 95% in knowledge of films. Very impressive!
As a true cinema buff (and probably a cinema purist), you are passionate about film culture and have a cultivated interest in and knowledge of world cinema (both classic and contemporary), great directors, talented actors, and more. Most likely, you're filled with cinema knowledge and passion that your friends, family, and significant other don't possess. But that doesn't stop you — you'll go to the movies alone if you must. You go to movies often, in fact, and you watch them at home, too (on your sizable screen with quality sound system — and ensuring the films' aspect ratios are accurately represented).
You're aware that you're brilliant in terms of cinema knowledge, and you're satisfied that your tastes in film are refined and spot-on, but you're self-assured enough that you're above constantly touting it. So, onward, cinema buff... continue your quest toward a higher and higher cinematic understanding!

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to the writing of data to non-volatile memory. Non-volatile memory is memory which retains data without electrical power being maintained. In particular, the invention relates to the writing of data to memory in transportable integrated circuit devices which are used in conjunction with terminal devices with which they are temporarily coupled for data input and output. An example of such a transportable device is the integrated circuit card (ICC), otherwise known as a "smart card".
2. Discussion of Prior Art
Smart cards are coupled by means of an interface to a terminal device whereby power, clock signals, a reset signal and serial data signals may be applied to the card. Generally the interface incorporates a set of electrical contacts for direct temporary electrical connection. However, contactless interfaces employing electromagnetic induction techniques for the application of power have been proposed. In such an arrangement clock, reset and data signals may be coupled electromagnetically or by infra-red or ultra-sonic techniques. Transportable integrated circuit devices may be embodied in tokens of other than card shape. Regardless of shape, such devices will be referred to herein as integrated circuit cards (ICCs). A difficulty with ICCs is that the writing of data to the ICC may be interfered with by disturbing the interface during writing whereby transients or failure in power, reset or clock signals may result in erroneous write.
A smart card application to which the invention is particularly applicable is in a financial value or "electronic cash" transfer system. Here, data in smart cards represents value which can be transferred on-line with banks and off-line between cards. Such a system is described in patent applications Nos. WO91/16691 and WO93/08545. It is clearly important in such applications to avoid the effects of erroneous data writing, either accidental or perhaps deliberately instigated by manipulation of power or data lines. The present invention provides a solution.
According to the invention there is provided a method of writing data to non-volatile memory in an integrated circuit device, the device having an interface for temporary connection to a terminal unit; a microprocessor; random access memory and non-volatile memory, the method consisting in allocating a first region of the non-volatile memory for data to be written, allocating a second region of non-volatile memory for write status information to be written, performing a data write operation to write data to said first region, and writing information to said second region signifying a valid data write if, and only if, the data write operation is performed satisfactorily.
In a microprocessor environment there are many copy and write procedures for transferring data and program information between regions of RAM and from RAM to EEPROM, for example, and vice versa. At the operating system level or higher there are usually verification techniques available for verifying the validity of a copy or write operation. This may involve an automatic comparison of the copied or written material with the original or, more usually, the provision of a checksum routine which adds one or more checksum bits to the data which, in accordance with a particular algorithm, provide a link to the data which can be verified to ensure that no write or copy computation has taken place. If corruption is detected the operation can be repeated until satisfactory. The present invention is not concerned with such techniques and is additional to them, where provided. However, such inbuilt techniques can be used as the basis for determining whether the write operation has been performed satisfactorily in order to write the appropriate information into the second region of memory. Thus, for example, if data is successfully written to an ICC with inbuilt write verification techniques present then the conclusion of the write process can be taken as indication of a satisfactory write to allow appropriate data to be written to the second region of memory.
The type of non-volatile memory currently used in most smart cards is electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) and the invention is applicable particularly, but not exclusively to this. As far as reading and writing procedures are concerned EEPROM is generally divided into pages and reading or writing is carried out on one page only at a time. It can be expected that a transient writing error may corrupt the contents of one page but not others. Accordingly, it is preferred that the first and second regions are on different pages.
The invention allows the non-volatile memory to record whether there is an outstanding write error on the device and to take action accordingly when the device is used again, on application of a reset signal. Generally the protocol ISO 7816 is used, which governs the nature of reset, answer-to-reset, power and clock signals etc. If the fault is transient, the reset signal may be applied immediately so that an interrupted transaction may be resumed. If not, the reset signal is applied next time an attempt is made to use the device. Preferably, in accordance with an aspect of the invention there is provided a method of utilisation of an integrated circuit device to which data has been written as described above, the device including in the non-volatile memory an application program which controls the microprocessor to run a particular application under normal circumstances, the utilisation method including the step of initially reading the second portion of the non-volatile memory to derive write status information therefrom and, if the write status information indicates an incomplete write operation, by-passing said application program.
Thus, the action effective when an outstanding write error is present on a smart card (for example) may be to render the card useless by continued failure to run the application program. This is software invalidation of the card. Alternatively, a hardware invalidation is possible by providing an overload current to a fuse link in the card, thus blowing the fuse and rendering the card invalid. However, card invalidation is wasteful and preferably the method of utilisation includes, on detection of an incomplete write operation, a procedure of data recovery effective to restore the device to a condition in which the last data write is correct and the status information in the second region of memory reflects this. Should the data recovery procedure fail, then the above-mentioned software or hardware steps of invalidating the card may be taken.
As non-exhaustive examples of the way in which the invention may be used, three specific methods are proposed.
In accordance with this method it is provided that respective and separate regions of the non-volatile memory are allocated as:
(a) a sequence register which is said second region of memory;
(b) a data copy buffer;
(c) a size register; and
(d) an address register and allocating a region of RAM or non-volatile memory as (e) a data incremental buffer, the first region of non-volatile memory being identified in size and address by data written in memory regions (c) and (d), the method of writing consisting in:
1. ensuring that the buffer (e) contains a valid data increment;
2. placing a copy of data to be updated in the buffer (b);
3. incrementing the register (a);
4. incrementing the data at the first region of memory by the amount in buffer (e) and writing the incremental amount to the first region of memory; and
5. incrementing the sequence register (a).
With this method the recovery procedure, when the register (a) indicates recovery is necessary, consists in copying the original (unamended) data from buffer (b) to said first region of memory. This restores the situation to the position before the faulty write operation.
In this method it is provided that respective and separate regions of the non-volatile memory are allocated as:
(f) a write in progress flag register, which is said second region of memory;
(g) a workspace pointer register;
(h) a size register; and
(i) a data pointer register and allocating a region of RAM or non-volatile memory as (j) a new data pointer register, the first region of non-volatile memory being identified in size and position by data written in memory regions (g) and (h), the method of writing consisting in:
1. setting a workspace pointer in register
(g) to the address of non-volatile memory workspace sufficient to hold a contiguous data set corresponding to a size set in register (h);
2. copying to the workspace a copy of new data identified in address by the new data pointer at (j) and in size by the size data at (h);
3. setting the write in progress flag at (f);
4. setting an address in data pointer register (i) to the address of the work-space; and
5. clearing the write in progress flag in register (f).
Here, the recovery procedure comprises repetition of the last two steps (4 and 5), since an error would indicate that the data pointer register had not been properly written.
In this method it is provided that respective and separate regions of the non-volatile memory are allocated as:
(k) a state flag register which is said second region of memory;
(l) a size register;
(m) an address register; and
(n) an update copy buffer the first region of non-volatile memory being identified in size and position by data written in registers (1) and (m), the method of writing consisting in:
1. copying new data to be written into buffer (n);
2. setting the state flat in register (k);
3. writing said new data to be written to said first region of non-volatile memory; and
4. clearing the state flag in register (k).
Here, new data is typically written directly from RAM and a copy is taken for the update copy buffer (n). If recovery is required, since it is the new data which is held in reserve in (n), the recovery procedure copies this to the required address in EEPROM (for example).
The invention will further be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a smart card having EEPROM organised to effect a first method of data writing and recovery in accordance with the invention;
FIGS. 2a-2B are a flow diagram in respect of the method used in the card of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram similar to FIG. 1 but in respect of a second method of data writing and recovery in accordance with the invention;
FIGS. 4A-4B are a flow diagram in respect of the second method;
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram similar to FIGS. 1 and 3 but in respect of a third method of data writing and recovery in accordance with the invention; and
FIGS. 6A-6B are a flow diagram in respect of the third method.
Referring to FIG. 1 there is shown a smart card 1 which has an interface 2 comprising a set of contacts 3 for making contact with a terminal unit 4. In accordance with the protocol of ISO 7816 the terminal unit provides power, clock signals, a reset signal and serial data signals to the card. The card is an ICC device which includes a microprocessor 5, RAM 6, and EEPROM 7.
The EEPROM 7 is divided into a set of pages 8 and is loaded with an operating system program OS, an application program AP and has a data region DR which holds data which may be read and rewritten.
A first example of the present invention is designated METHOD 1, which is for incremental updating of data in EEPROM. In accordance with this method respective and separate regions of the data region DR of EEPROM are allocated as:
(a) a sequence register;
(b) a data copy buffer;
(c) a size register; and
(d) an address register.
A region of RAM is allocated as (e) a data incremental buffer, although this could alternatively be in EEPROM also.
Referring now to FIG. 2(a) there is shown a flow diagram for the writing of data in accordance with METHOD 1. The steps include:
1. ensuring that the buffer (e) contains a valid data increment (at 9);
2. identifying the EEPROM data to be updated (original data) by reference to the size and address registers (c), (d), giving the original location (at 10);
3. copying the original data to buffer (b) (at 11);
4. incrementing the sequence register (a) (at 12);
5. calculating the new data in RAM by reference to the original data and the data in the data increment buffer (e) and write the new data back to the original location in EEPROM (at 13); and
6. incrementing the register (a) (at 14).
EEPROM is such that its stored data can be corrupted if, whilst the content of the EEPROM is being changed, the power line, or the clock signal are interrupted. With the arrangement described above, data security is provided by the use of the data copy buffer in conjunction with the sequence register. By virtue of internal write verification procedures it can be assumed that if the operating system indicates completion of the write procedure 13 then the written information is in order and the sequence register (a) can be updated appropriately. If the write operation is interrupted by power line or clock signal disruption, for example, then the sequence register remains in its former state which is not appropriate to the attempted write.
In accordance with an aspect of the invention there is a check and recovery procedure available when the card receives the reset signal at any time. FIG. 2(b) illustrates this. On reset at 15 the sequence register is checked at 16 to determine whether a write failure is indicated. If not then the application program AP (FIG. 1) is executed at 17. If failure is indicated then the original data before the last attempted write operation, which is held in data copy buffer (b) is copied to the original data address (c), (d). This step is shown at 18. The situation before the attempted write operation is thus restored.
This method is adapted to a multi-stage operation procedure and in practice data will be fed back and forth to the terminal by a serial interface in multiple stages. The sequence register holds information as to the stage in the sequence where interruption takes place. If the original interconnection to the terminal pertains and the operation sequence can be resumed then a re-synchronisation procedure takes place and at 19 there is a check to determine whether copying/re-synchronisation has succeeded. If so then the application program AP is run. If not the software must decide from the state of the sequence register how to re-synchronise the on-card application software and the software communicating with the smart card via the serial line. If data cannot be retrieved from the data copy buffer, and the sequence register indicates that this data should be available, then the smart card is unusable, as indicated at 20.
This may be by virtue of continued failure to implement the application program or positive steps may be taken to invalidate the card as, for example, by blowing an inbuilt fuse.
The data copy buffer (b) and the data increment buffer (e) must both be large enough to hold the largest possible data block that will be written to EEPROM using this method. An extra 5 bytes of storage are also required (size=2 bytes, address=2 bytes, sequence register=1 byte at least!). If size can never be greater than 255, then it can be stored in a single byte.
Since the card operates on only one page 8 (FIG. 1) at a time in writing, security is enhanced by ensuring that separate EEPROM pages (3 in total) are used for the data copy buffer, the data increment buffer and for the rest of the additional data.
Using this method of writing to EEPROM, the number of bytes actually written to EEPROM is doubled even if a recovery is not invoked (because a copy of the original data must be stored in the data copy buffer before the EEPROM write commences). The total overhead is actually slightly more than this as size, address, and sequence register information must also be written to EEPROM.
Referring now to FIG. 3 there is shown the EEPROM configuration for a smart card (otherwise similar to that of FIG. 7) to use a METHOD 2 in accordance with the invention. Here respective and separate regions of EEPROM (on respective pages 8) are allocated as:
(f) a write in progress flag register;
(g) a workspace pointer register;
(h) a size register; and
(i) a data pointer register,
In RAM there is allocated a region (j) as a new data pointer register. Alternatively this may also be in EEPROM.
A flow chart for the writing procedure in METHOD 2 is shown in FIG. 4(a). This includes the steps of:
1. setting a workspace pointer in register (a) to the address of a workspace in EEPROM sufficient in size to hold a contiguous data set corresponding to a size set in register (h) (at 21);
2. copying to the workspace a copy of new data in a region in RAM or EEPROM identified in size by register (h) and in position by register (i) (at 22);
3. setting the write in progress flat (f) (at 23);
4. setting the address in register (i) to the workspace address (at 24); and
5. clearing the write in progress flag in register (f).
The check and recovery procedure for METHOD 2 is shown in FIG. 4(b). On reset at 25 the write in progress flag is checked at 26. If cleared the application program AP is run at 27. If not then the last two steps (4 and 5) of the write procedure are repeated. Thus, the data pointer (i) is set equal to the workspace pointer (g) at 28 and the write in progress flag (f) is cleared at 29. If this write procedure succeeds (check at 30) the program AP is executed. If not, then the smart card is unusable (at 31).
If an area of EEPROM is found where an EEPROM write cannot be completed, then this method readily allows the smart card application software to mark this area as unusable (permanently), and choose another area for data storage. This can greatly extend the life of the smart card (which will very probably be limited by the maximum possible number of EEPROM writes that the smart card is capable of performing), however this is at the expense of maintaining a pointer (a 2 byte overhead) to each data structure stored in EEPROM.
Under normal conditions, the Write in Progress flag is only set for the time required to update a pointer in EEPROM. This is the minimum possible theoretical update time, which should help to ensure that the recovery mechanism is invoked only very rarely. This minimises the number of attempted writes to EEPROM, and thus extends the life of the smart card.
Each data structure written to EEPROM using this method will be extended by two bytes, as a pointer to the data must be continuously maintained. There is a small overhead on each EEPROM read as all data which uses this method must be accessed via a pointer.
The EEPROM pointed to by the Workspace Pointer must be large enough to hold the largest possible data structure that will be written to EEPROM using this method. This space is only required until the EEPROM write has been successfully completed, at which point an equivalent length of EEPROM storage (which used to contain the original data) is released. An extra 7 bytes of storage are also required (Write in Progress flag=1 byte, New Data Pointer =2 bytes, Workspace Pointer=2 bytes, Size =2 bytes). If Size can never be greater than 255, then it can be stored in a single byte.
Using this method of writing to EEPROM, the data structure is only written to EEPROM once, but three pointers have to be updated (the New Data Pointer, the Workspace Pointer and the Data Pointer--in that order). The Size, Address and Sequence Register information must also be written to EEPROM.
Referring now to FIG. 5 there is shown EEPROM allocation for a METHOD 3 of implementing the invention. It is to be understood that the EEPROM of FIG. 5 is incorporated in a smart card otherwise similar to that of FIG. 1. In FIG. 5, separate regions of EEPROM (on separate pages 8) are allocated as:
(k) a state flag register;
(1) a size register;
(m) an address register; and
(n) an update copy buffer.
The writing procedure in METHOD 3 is illustrated in FIG. 6(a). The following steps are implemented:
1. Copy new data into buffer (n) (at 32);
2. Set state flag (k) (at 33);
3. Copy the new data to EEPROM region identified by size (1) and address (m) (at 34); and
4. Clear state flag (k) (at 35).
The check and recovery procedure illustrated in FIG. 6(b) has reset at 36, and a check for the setting of state flag (k) at 37. If the flag is not set then application program AP is run at 38. Otherwise the new data residing in buffer (n) is copied to the region (1), (m) at 39 and the state flag (k) is cleared at 40. If successful, the application program is run. If not, the card is useless (41).
An additional Data area (buffer n) must be large enough to store the largest amount of data which will be written to EEPROM, plus 5 bytes (Size=2 bytes, Address=2 bytes, State Flag--1 byte). If Size can never be greater than 255, then it can be stored in a single byte.
Using this method of writing to EEPROM, the number of bytes actually written to EEPROM is doubled even if a Recovery is not invoked (because a copy of the data must be written to EEPROM). The total overhead is actually slightly more than this as Size, Address must also be written to EEPROM.
To be able to tell that data has not been altered, error detection techniques must be implemented. Error detection usually comprises calculating a checksum whenever the data is updated, storing this checksum, and verifying that it is correct during every subsequent data read. The actual method used to calculate the error detection checksum is irrelevant for the purposes of this document, indeed some smart cards have error detection processes built into the EEPROM hardware, and their particular method of operation may well not be known.
An EEPROM write is deemed to be complete only when the error detection system has been appropriately updated, and has been verified correctly.
Each byte of EEPROM can only be changed a finite number of times before it ceases to function correctly. This is typically 105 to 106 write cycles. Therefore there is a finite chance of data being altered whilst it resides in EEPROM, and an EEPROM read must only be accepted as valid if the error detection system verifies that the data has not been altered. If an error is detected during an EEPROM read, it probably means that one or more bytes in the smart card's EEPROM have reached the end of their active life.
Using one of the methods of writing to EEPROM described above ensures that error correction (as opposed to error detection) is not required. Either the EEPROM operation takes place successfully, or the smart card is unusable. There are no circumstances in which an error needs to be corrected. This simplifies the software and reduces the data storage requirements, as error correction is computationally intensive and requires more dedicated bytes of storage than error detection.
One of the three methods of writing data to EEPROM described above (Method Number 1) explicitly keeps a counter (Sequence Register) which stores knowledge of the last successful operation in the series of operations performed during writing to EEPROM. Methods 2 and 3 may have, but do not explicitly require a counter of this type as they reply upon flags which hold information showing whether or not writing to EEPROM has successfully completed.
Even though a method of writing to EEPROM does not always explicitly require a numeric counter, it should be clearly noted that in many systems it will be necessary to maintain such a counter so that interrupted processes of any kind can be restarted. It is of course vitally important for this counter to be written to EEPROM in a secure manner, as if it is not correct it cannot be relied upon by smart card application software attempting to restart an interrupted process.

Great place, great location, amazing people. Especially if you have young kids, the activities and food are worth it alone. And the location -- whoo-boy! Just sit on the patio and look out over the mountains!
The surrounding are beautiful. There is not question about that. My question is what other people see in this place. If we hadn't been on our trip to Monticeto Lodge with group of other families we would have never stayed past the first night. My husband wanted to leave within a few hours of arriving at the lodge. This lodge is more than rustic. It wasn't clean. Besides that our idea of having the kids go to kids camp so we could have time to relax or venture out without the kids was pipe dream, many of us had stomach trouble on the trip likely from the food, and we were less than impressed with the customer service. There is a reason this lodge doesn't have photos on their website of the rooms. I am uploading mine from the Sugarpine building. My friends that stayed in the main lodge had a slightly cleaner room, but only slightly. I was sick from the lack of cleanliness at the lodge. I wish I had brought my own sheets and towels and cleaning supplies. The room we had smelled. It had cobwebs in the corners by the bunk bed and my child was afraid to sleep in the bed because of them. The towels were like rags. They smelled bad and were dark colors so it was hard to tell if they were really clean. One towel had a long hair on it as if they just folded them and reused them from guest to guest. The toilet and sink also had hairs on them from prior guests. The sheets were so worn the wouldn't stay on the mattress when you were sleeping. The wall heater in our room was barely attached to the wall. The paint was peeling in the bathroom. The walls in the bedroom were dirty. The bathroom sink would not drain, the water pressure for showers was a joke, and the toilet barely flushed. The carpet looked like it had never been vacuumed. The porch to the room had a patio but to get to the stair required stepping in a puddle that was about a foot deep (we were there during rain and snow). Even the welcome mat going into the room had a large chunk out of it. The dining tables in the main lodge were not clean and the floor in the ponderosa room and kitchen area was always sticky. The food was not family friendly. I only had one really good meal. It was made by a cook that made cook –to-order eggs one morning. He was friendly and made a good breakfast. The other meals were mediocre at best and the other cooks were less than friendly. One was down right rude. My child had to eat cereal most of the visit. The food was like bad cafeteria food that they were trying to make gourmet. They served crab, lamb soup and things like coos-coos. My child likes hamburgers, spaghetti, hot dogs and things like that. And, they told me on the phone prior to the visit they always serve a vegetarian dish. Their idea of that must be the salad bar. The first night the only thing they had vegetarian was the salad bar and a side dish of potatoes. Otherwise, the food was giving a number of people in our group intestinal trouble. There was one young gentleman at the front desk that was polite and helpful, but otherwise the women were not very friendly or helpful. We didn't leave our kids with the counsel for kids camp because he didn't seem to be that responsible. He was nice enough, but was more like a snow bum than a qualified counselor. At one point on our trip a kid who was not with our party was out in the snow alone. He had been separated from the counselor. It was snowing and the kid was looking for the counselor. We told the child to stay with us until the counselor came looking for him. About 30 minutes later the counselor showed and wasn't even concerned. The same counselor makes the s'mores at night and I doubt he washes his hands first by the look of them. It was gross. We did have a nice time with our friends, but not because of the accommodations or service at this lodge. Very disappointed with the lodge.
We have been coming here for a few years and always have a great experience. We have tended towards winter, snow shoeing is our favorite. The trails are beautiful, some not too strenuous, well groomed. The cost is reasonable, the experience is rustic, if you love rustic you will love this place. And the cost is very reasonable, for bed and 3 meals. Coffee always available and good. A professionally run place, they always have a good attitude. Just step out the door and snow shoe away, immediately into beautiful trees. Or hike away.
The lodge is about 1 1/2 hours into the park, a little long, but once your there the scenery is just beautiful. We arrived later then we thought but when we went into the main lodge we found they had saved us our dinner with plenty of leftovers in the fridge and a help yourself sign on it. (awesome!)The dinner, and breakfast the next morning were very tasty, way better then we expected and best of all, included in the price of the room. The main lodge itself was very warm and comfy with toys for our children to play with and a tv. Staff was extremely friendly. Our cabin was really nice, spacious and clean with a whole wall being a window so you could take in the scenery. The only issue we had with it was there was no t.v. and having a 1 and 3 year old that would of been nice but if it was just me and my husband it wouldn't have bothered us. Wi-fi good in the main lodge but not in the room. Overall we really loved our visit there, and wished we could have stayed a few days and done some of the activities. The price is extremely fair considering all your getting and the location. We will definitely be going back, and highly recommend it.
Our whole family LOVED staying here for the 1st time. We will be back! It will be a tradition in our family!! The staff was EXCELLENT!!! They were friendly & helpful. The food was great and was included. We had so much fun on the hike and doing the archery. The fireplace, games, food, & scenery...can't go wrong. THANK YOU EVERYONE.
We spent 2 nights at Montecito last winter (Jan 2013). Overall we had a very nice time. The food was good, buffet style. The rooms were basic, but had all necessary amenities and were clean. Heater worked well. We stayed in the rooms off of the lodge, which seemed to be ideal as we heard the noise around the lodge was a bit much at times. Our room was nice and quite however. We rented cross country skis one day and snow shoes the next. Cost was extremely reasonable. The snow shoeing was a blast. LOTS of kids. This is a great place for families. We were here as a couple, and it was still fun. We ended up meeting some lovely families during dinner, which is 'family style' meaning people sit at large tables and interact w/ other guests. The location is remote. Very serene and peaceful. Overall I would recommend this place, especially to families w/ kids and if there is snow, the snow shoeing was great.
MSL has something for everyone. Great family environment, fun couple's retreat, and not bad for single people if you can handle a trillion kids at meal times ;-) and no night life. Inexpensive and all-inclusive makes this resort one of my faves for snow trips. The food ranges from delicious to mediocre. (May have been that the chef was just having a bad day. It happens to the best of us.)Snow fun, for around $15 you'll get 24 hours of interchangeable snow boards, snow shoes, or boots, poles, & skis. There's free tubing, a variety of free lessons, musical instruments & games for check out, and plenty of food to keeps one busy all day. In the fall there was free canoing, instrument lessons, and fencing!! They even have a wee bar to purchase drinks (or BYOB). No night life per se unless ping pong, Foosball, and s'mores by the fire are your idea of an exciting eve. All in all, I still love this cozy place with a "hearts of gold" staff.
